GOVERNORS PROCLAMATION
ProeIaims November rs 10 Be . Day o
Thanksgiving.

Salem, Nov. 13. - Governor Geer
today issued Thanksgiving procla-
nation, designating November % as
the day to be observed. The procIa-
nation follows:
Although not yet passed from
beneath the shadow OF the great
national tragedy which took from us
the presence and counsel OF our be-
loved chief magistrate, we find reason
for national Thanksgiving in the uni
Tying effect the great affection has
bad upon the different sections Of
our common country, and for the
prospect Of continued era Of good
feeling. At no time within so years
has party feeling been less bitter, or
our country 50 harmonious in mat
ters concerning its domestic welfare.
Every department Of our state gov
ernment is performing the duties for
which it was created, with prompt
less and fidelity; the hand Of plenty
has provided the necessaries OF life
in abundance among our people, all
classes Of whom are engaged in re-
munerative employment, and the
name Of our fair state in other sec
tions Of our great country in synony-
nous with steady progress and an
assuredly prosperous future.
Recognizing in all these things
the hand and mind of an overruIing
Providence who doeth all things we'll
and that spirit of gratitude sug-
gests an acknowledgment Of the
many favors enjoyed by us as com
monwealth, ] hereby recommend, in
conformity with the proclamation Of
the president of the United States,
that Thursday, the 28th of Novem-
Der, 1901, be observed as day OF
Thanksgiving and prayer, and that
all our people on that day, while re-
memhering the poor with appropriate
gifts and cheerful words, desist from
their usual vocations, and. in their
usual places Of worship, or elsewhere,
give praise to Almighty God, upon
whom our fathers so firmly relied for
national as well as individual guild
ance, for the past mercies, and in
woke the Divine aid along the path
way Of national righteousness as our
country assumes the leading position
in power and influence among the
nations of the earth.
I'm witness whereof, have here
unto set my hand and caused the
great seal OF the state of Oregon to be
affixed, at the capitol, in Salem, this
18th day Of November, 1901.

Pony Was a Racer and Had to Keep in

A gentleman who Is member of the
Meadow Brook Hunt Club and delights
in horseback riding received few days
ago a wiry ''cayuse" or cow-pony. as
they are called in the Northwest. The
animal had some speed and an easy
gait, and. after riding It around the
country roads few days, he rode 1t,
one evening. with party Of ladies and
gentlemen who were out for a moon
light canter.
The party split up into couples. and
while the gentleman In question would
much prefer to have taken the rear Of
the line with the lady whose escort he
was. yet the pony developed an unex-
pected ambition to lead the procession.
according to the New York Mail and
Express. He let the "cayuse" have
its own way only to find that the head
strong animal insisted on being at
least one-half a length in front Of the
horse ridden by the lady.
There was no holding that pony
back on even terms with the other
horses. It pranced about, jumped
from side to side and pulled the bit
and would be quiet only when It had
It's nose well to the front. The lady en-
joyed 1t immensely. but the gentleman
well. he left unsaid many things
which he had planned to say to the
young lady when they started on the
ride. Subsequently the gentleman
found the pony had been used for rae
ing in the West and had been trained
to "go to the front and stay there"
