Thanksgiving.

The day was quite closely observed
places of business were closed, and
general atmosphere of Sabbath
quletude prevailed. The union SER
vices at the opera house were we'll
attended and a we'll selected pro-
gram fully in keeping with the &C.
casion wrs carried out The sermon
by Rev. Henry Taylor of St. Luke's
(EpiscopaD church, was impressive
and fully exemphfed that the true
spirit of Thanksgiving, was not con-
fined to material things. The music
al features were very agreeable, and
these union services suggest to the
observer that there should be no
other service. Creeds are the same
and tue results desired ere the same,
and if common Christian charity
could take the place of uncommon
Christian criticism, may be the
world would be better for it. Who
knows?

! THRILLING
BEAR STORY

Among the party of Walla Walla,
wash timber land loca'ors' who
w." ~. in the city Wednesday, returned
,..m making their locations, was
~ ~. 7 r. Kaufman, the big chief
''r pohce of that city. Capt. Kauf-
..n weighs in the neighborhootd OF
,OO pounds and when he gets his
y .,oners on an infractor of the laws
D., particular bailiwick, its all Off
itb him Owing to his great size
,ho captain is not an expert noun
,i0eer and Tuesday while climbing
:, one of the steep, snow clad noun
aims near Meadows, saw directly
,hove him what he thought was a
.rce bear lmpudently making faces
,t him. This was more than his
Oaicial dignity could stand, ana he
started quickly toward the supposed
animal TO resent the insult His feet
slipped and down the mountain side
he went gathering momentum and
snow as he went, until he had created
a.. GOOD sized snow slide. He went
down the mountain shouting "Holo
he bearl, Hold the bear" His com
oanions heard his shouts and wen
| to his assistance. They found hin
hundred feet or so from where he
mrted covered up in the snow. Aftel
kging him out and doctoring his
huises and torn raiment they pro
peeded to investigate the cause o
/ bis alarm, which proved to be large
burned pine stump, sticking out O
| the snow.
The incident has cost the bought,
captain months salary in his effort
to keep his friends quiet about hi
adventure, but it leaked out.

FIELD OF OPERATIONS WIDEN
New Improvements for Economical
Handling Of Farm Products
By an Old Firm.

The business Of the Hathaway
Keath Seed s. Produce Co., Of Mexico,
Mo, was established by W. S. Hatha-
way in 1888, and was incorporated in
1895.
1t has been the aim of this company
to make Mexico distributing point,
and its plan has been SO far successful
that from tery small beginning the
trade now extends over half of the
states of the Union, and the compa-
ny's shipments, which run from a sin
gle bag to car load, now number into
the thousands annually.
The building occupied by Hatha-
way-Keath was erected by W. S. Hath
away in 1898. It is a brick structure,
forty by ninety feet, and consists Of
two stories and a basement. The
trade has so increased in late years as
to require more room and better facll-
tiles for handling the business. The
company is Just completing needed
Improvements and an additional story
has been added to the building.
The machinery now consists of a
large warehouse seed cleaner, with a
capacity to handle one-thousand
bushels of timothy seed, millet,
Hungarian, or fax per day; and two
smaller cleaners for clover seed, red
top and the like; all located on the
second floor. A large grain cleaner
and separator is on the third floor and
a corn shelter in the basement: all
connected by elevators and conveyors
having a capacity for shelling ant
cleaning from two TO three thousand
bushels per day. All the machinery in
the building is driven by a powerful
gasoline engine of the latest i'm
proved type.
The storage capacity is now l0,0OI
bushels Of grain, the same amount o.
grass seed, good supply of gardeT
and other seeds, large quantity O.
mill feed, baled hay, wool, etc; alsC
basement storage for 5000 bushels o
potatoes, apples or other staple vege
tables and fruits,
The grain and seed is unloaded OF
the main floor Of the building and i
then handled entirely by machinery
In thus reducing the cost Of handling
the company expects to increase th
business by diverting trade from les
favored competing points, and in thi
way secure a profit on the investment

The Chicago s. Alton Railway has
decided that the wooden platforms
around its stations must be abolished
in the interest of safety and durability.
They will, as rapidly as possible, be re-
placed by concrete. These platforms
can easily be kept clean and are much
more durable and but little more ex-
nensive than the old ones.
