SCHOOLS AND PoLITlC9.

A Scheme With Real Estate TrimmlI 'ss
 That Won In Oregon.
 "Spaqking of schools in relation to politics. said tho ex-boomer from Ore gon, always reminds me of campaign in which I was interested some years ago Tho Douglas county representative In the Oregon state legislature, realt2- ing that his popularity was not exceed ingly great, had been talking of build ing new state normal school, presum- ably at Roseburg, the county seat and his own home. This caused great con- sternation among the $50 inhabitants of tho little city of Drain, who had been profting by the courtesy title of Drain Academy and Oregon State Normal school, under which the school there had been run since 1883. The postmas- ter, who kept drug store and sold school supplies, took counsel with his sister law, who dealt in millinery and ran boarding house for students, and sbe sought tho mayor, at whose general merchandise emporium she was the principal customer.
 The mayor was man who thought slowly, but to Q purpose, and, having set himself the task of devising some way of oireumventing the member from Roseburg, he passed the next three days in profound cogitation. He con- oeived scheme whose various elabora- tions md notifications were too diver sifled for him to handle alone. and he eame to me for help had just gained considerable influence in the county through backing projected railroad to the coast, and also as a real estate deal- or and sawmill owner With my busi ness methods and the mayors knowl- edge of the conditions confronting us our plans were soon put into operation. First, we suggested the candidacy of an ambitious young Drainite, dealer in leather goods and hardware, for mem- Der of the legislature, taking all the wind out of his opponents sails by heartily indorsing the talk in favor of Q new normal school Meantime we had large grain field of the mayors, which had begun to lose its fertility on ao- count of overcultiyation. surveyed into city lots, and as soon as our candidate had received the regular party nomina tion we put the town site of East Drain, with It's streets named after conspicuous mon of tho state, on the market and gave one of its centrally located blocks for the new normal school.
 "Well. everything came to pass ex- actly as we had planned. Our candidate was elected, and the building of the new normal school on tho site we gave was authorized We sold sufficient num- Der of East Drain lots to moro than pay for the land and all expenses The con tractors on the new school were men who had aided the legislation authoriz- ing 1t. and they got their supplies from the mayor, their hardware from the member and their lumber from me. My mill also supplied lumber for other buildings in East Drain, including q new boarding house for the milliner, who has prospered ever since The post. masters increased business soon war ranted his moving into one of the two brick buildings in the city of Drain. and the former dealer i'll leather goods and hardware is still member of the Oregon legislature.

 when does high priced wheat benefit the farmer, is question variously an swered. It does not do so at all seasons of the year If tho rise in wheat comes suddenly in tho spring, just when the old stock of grain is low and the new is not yet in sight, speculators and grain dealers got all tho advantage of it. If, however, a sharp advance comes about hary est time. when eight out of every ten agriculturists sell their wheat, then the farmer will get his share of tine good prices.

Let Us Be Thankful.

Pine Bluflians have much fdr which to be thankful on this, Mo- vember %, 1897. A. D. True, it may be that bat few have prospered to the full extent of their liking, but man is proverbially greedy, and it is vouchsafed bus few, if any, to have their avariee fully gratitied. It seems to be q part of the human disposition to disparage the pres ent, to depreciate the blessings we daily enjoy, and to pine for the "good old days Of the past" laden in their time with as many disap pointments as the present, and to hope for something mysterious and indefinaAle. but believed to be better in the future. The poet spoke truly when he said:
 Hope springs eternal in the human breast;
 Man never is, but always to Do hlessed
 But every year, if we but exercise our reflective faculties and accord the things we have about us that need Of praise and merit which they deserve, we shall find many things for which 10 be thankful. First of al' we shouid thank a kind and gracious Providence for the i'm measurable blessings of health. Whatever ones lot and station, wheather the possessor of a princely fortune or poor peasants lot, there can be no real happiness with out health. In comparison, all things else vouchsafed frail humani- ty in this transitory world, are secondary. One may be as rich as Cr@sus, yet if he have not health there is no happiness. One may pile up fortunes as rapidly as Barney Barnado, yet he would will. ingly surrender il all for health, if he does not enjoy that priceless herit- age In the dispensations of a kind and all-wise Providence, there is something in every life to enjoy, and if you, gentle reader, on this day of Thanksgiving will search out the good things Providence has given you, and set them down against the misfortunes, real or imagined, that beset your pathway, you will find that tue balance is in your favor and that you have much for which to render thanks.
 Pine Bluhians have much for which to be thankful. True, "pros perityp has not come upon us in any great abundance, but all are enjoy ing sufficient amount to provide for their daily necessities. TiW. prosperity is that which every one provides for himself. It comes as a result of vigilance, energy, economy and labor. It is the story of the ten talents over again. 1.-The Lord helps those who help themselves. The slothful servant neither accu- mulates for himself nor his Master; if, therefore, he does not enjoy ma- terial prosperity, the fault is his own.
 But Pine Blunians have every reason to be thankful that no pestl- lence, plague or famine has visited their community. They are in the full enjoyment of health and happi- ness. The death rate was never lower; the health of the community never better. And Pine Bluffians are enjoying their full share of the material things of this world. Trade in all lines is up to the usual volume, labor is employed, and all are able to make comfortable living. The conditions are favorable for "health wealth and happiness, and what

else could one ask2 If he has noth- ine to be thankful for under such conditions, it is his own fault.
 Our agriculturists are depressed over the low price of cotton, but while the price is low their farms have been productive, except in iso. lated communities. If there is no corn in the crib or turnips in the cellar, the fault is their own. Let them learn to diversity their crops, raise their own produce and provis- ions, make their cotton surplus and cash crop, and then they can Hive at home, lift the. mortgage, and have money in the bank. Expe- rienee is a dear teacher, but if the low price of cotton during this and preceding seasons shall learn the farmers this valuable lesson, they will have much for which to be thankful.

she OrIeina, Uncle Sam

When We talk Of the United States
Government in a familiar sort of WAY
We call it Uncle SAM" and you have
often seen pictures OF Uncle Sam-a
long, lean, old-fashioned Yankee. with
a high hat and with swallow-tail
coat apd breeches marked with the
stars and stripes Of the flag. The way
in which the United States came to be
called Uncle Sam is this:
During the war of 1912 the United
States Government entered into n con-
tract with n man by the name of FL
bert Anderson TO furnish supplies to the
army. When the United States buys
anything from contractor, an inspec-
tor Is always appointed to see that the
goods are what the contract calls for.
and that the government gets full
value. In this case the government
appointed man by the name Of Sam
uel Wilson, who was always called
Uncle Sam" by those who knew him.
He inspected every package and cask
that came from Elbcrt Anderson. the
contractor. and II he found that the
contents were all right, the package or
cask WIS marked with the letters "E.
A.-U. s." the initials of the contractor
and Of the United States. The man
whose duty it was TO do this marking
was a tovlal sort of fellow, and when
somebody asked him what these let.
tcrs meant, lie said they stood for FL.
bert Anderson and Uncle sam. Every
body. including Uncle Sam" Wilson
himself, thought this was a very good
Joke; and by and by 1t got into print.
and before the end of the war it was
known all over the country; and that is
the way the United States received its
name of Uncle Sam"
Mr.. Wilson, the original "Unclc
Sam died at Troy, y. V, in 1854, at the
age Of eighty y-four.-St. Nicholas.

BRAND!NC.lRoN FOR FEMALE SEALS.
a Device That Will Make PcIagic Sealing
UnprofitaDlc.

DR.. jordan. OF the Palo Alto University,
California, has stated that as the British
Government has not come to any satisiGc-
tory terms with tho United States for pro-
tectiug the fur seals in Berng Sea, the
United States will begin this summer,
through the Fur Seal Commission, the work
of branding female seals on the Pribylov
Islands. This will spoil the skins OF the
branded seals and so stop pelagic sealing
by making 1t Improbable.
DR.. Jordan will take several more asss-
tants from the University to aid in tho
work. They are A. w. Greeley and II. T..
Snodgrass, OF the zoology department; A.
J. Edwards, Howard \. Warren and Elmer
II. Farmer. Farmer has invented an cleo
trical machine for branding the seals, and
IL 1t proves satisfactory 1t will do great
deal toward settling the seal question.
There Is n possibility that the female
seals will be corralled on one of the islands
during the sealing season. This will ne
cessitate building about two miles OF board
fence, and 1t Is not certain yet whether tho
lumber can be procured. 1t will be- done II
possible. DR.. Jordan will leave Seattle for
Sitka on July Sth.
