Stage for Beef Animal,

The Virginia Experiment Station has
lust issued a bulletin on feeding sflage
to beef animals. 1t concludes that siIace
after all will enable the feeders to
maintain their animals at a lower cost
and TO secure greater gains than they
have heretofore obtained; that animals
to be fed for immediate slaughter can
safely receive silage as the sole rough
ness. Animals so fed will kill out \
high per cent of dressed meat. will help
ship well, and will show a superior
finish TO animals fed on dry, coarse

MAKE THIS \ DAY.

Make this a day. There is no gain
In brooding over days to come;
The message of today is plain,
The futures lips are ever dumb,
The work of yesterday is gone.
For good or iii, let come what may.
But now we face another dawn.
Make this a day.
Though yesterday we failed to see
The urging hand and earnest faet
That men call Opportunity.
We fail to know the time or place
For some great deed-what need to
fret
The dawn comes up a silvery gray;
The golden moments must be met
Make this day.
This day is yours; your work is yours;
The odds are not who pays your
hire;
The thing accomplished-that endures
If it be what the days require.
He who takes up his daily round,
AS one new-armored for the fray
Tomorrow steps on solid ground;
Make this a day.

NO POSTAL DEFICIT.

If the United States postal system
We're run as a sensible business man
would run his own business, there
would be no deficit in the postoffira
department from year to year. as
there is now.
The carrying of the legitimate mail
OF the country can be handled within
the revenues of the postoffice sys-
TEN, but the deficit is caused by load.
ing the postoffice department down
with CRAFTS of every other department
Millions of dollars are expended in
free mail from the other departments
senators, congressman. other depart-
ments and other officials all unload
their immense mail, free, upon the
postoffice and the deficit is cbargad
to the postoffice department.
Let the state department bear the
expenses OF its mail business; let the
war department pay its own mailing
expenses; let the free seed graft he
charged to the congressional expenses:
let the consular department pay its
share of the mailing expenses; let
every department be charged with the
amount of mail sent out from it. Jus;
as any good business man would do
III the conduct of his business, and the
postottlce department would yield
large profits instead of deficits.
Every department official in the
service of the government burdens the
postoffice department with useless ex.
penscs and then the enormous deficif
is charged to the postoffice. To shield
the enormous CRAFTS of the franking
privileges enjoyed by various officials
and departments, the burden is un.
loaded upon the patient postoffice de-
partment.
There would be no deficit if the
postoffice were charged with nothing
but legitimate mail carrying expenses
If other departments were charged
with their free mail, it would stop a
lot of the franks.
The postoffice department serves
more people, is closer to the citizen
than any other department, and should
be conducted in a more businesslike
manner.
Let US cut off the millions of dol
lars wasted in fire. seed CRAFTS and
other forms of eXtortion and give the
postofflce system a fair chance to
show what it can do.

WHEN TIE WEST WAS A WASTE.

"Retween the Missouri and the Pa
cific," said a member of congress
save a strip of culturable prairie not
above 200 or 800 miles wide, the re-
gion is waste and sterile, no better
than the desert Of Sahara and quite
as dangerous to cross" The author
of these words was Edward Bates. of
Missouri whom Horace Greeley long
afterward doomed for the presidency
in the New York Tribune and in the
Chicago republican convention of
1860, and who became attorney gen.
cral in Lincoln's cabinet.
This was in the session of congress
Of 1920. AS late as 1S43 McDuffie
Of South Carolina, in a speech in the
senate which was applauded by many
persons in and out of that chamber.

ing westward, belated by bad roads
met the eastbound freighters and stop
ped at this home. The stage, toiling
with its load of human freight, was
forced to lay over until the storm
was over
In the old farm house which was
erected by james Pyles in 1862, was
a monster fireplace. This great room
was converted into camp house for
frelghters and on this day the fire
roared within as loudly as the storm
without. The room containing the
fire place was 24x4O, built of logs
On that day it was filled with
CHUCK" boxes. rolls of bedding, wet
blankets, dripping overcoats. All about
the roaring fire crowded the Jolly
freishters speculating on how long
II would require to make the trip to
Roise and return If that weather con-
tinued.
The shy Immigrant women and chill
dren, sat closely in the corner and
watched the strange scene. BY turns
the frciGhters fried their bacon and
made their coffee on the fire and one
nv one ate their meals from the we'll
filled "chuck" hoxes
Next morning the storm had ceased
and the hills were white. The roads
were filled with drifts, but early the
army of men was moving. Frozen
harness was buckled upon the shiver-
ing mules. Chains and rods were COW
cred inch deep in ice. Wagon wheels
were filled in between the spokes a
solid mass of frozen mud.
But the caravan soon limbered up
and began its march. Whips cracked.
wagons creaked. drivers shouted. the
clear chuckling of wheels made merry
music and by sunrise the mile-long
caravan was toiling, up the canyon,
unmindful of the storm or its conse-
quences.
fy such men was the west peopled
and by such scenes as this is the his
tory of the west made sacred to the
pioneers.

Thanksgiving, 'O6

For love that makes for perfect peace
For sun and rain that bring Increase
For watchcare that shall never cease
Our grateful tributes, Lord, we pay
With swelling hearts and lips that
sing
Thy praises, Lord. we humbly bring
To Thee our glad nk-offering,
This glorious Thanksgiving Day.
For ways made plain to weary feet:
For each God-given promise sweet:
For love, o'erflowing and complete,
Our humble tributes, Lord, we lay.
With harvest songs resounding free
We gladly come, dear Lord, to Thee,
From Lakes to Gulf, from Sea to Sea,
This glorius Thanksgiving Day.
For ripened grain that fertile fields
Great recompense for toiling yields;
For love that from dread danger
shields
Along this earth lifes toilsome way.
We kneel, dear Lord, with hearts that
swell
With love and joy no tongue can tell,
And render. thanks that all is we'll
With us this blest Thanksgiving Day.
The cycle of the year rolls round,
And still Thy love and care abound;
Still refuge in Thy arms IS found
And so we sing our songs of praise!

THANKSGIVING, 1851.

Twenty-Five years ago, Thanksgiv-
ing, 1881, eastern Oregon presented
a vastly different appearance from
that which greets the Pullman car
tourist today.
The o. r. & n. line was not yet
completed through eastern Oregon,
the stage coaches were stin in serv-
ice over the long roads through the
mountains and deserts between Umatil-
Ia Landing and ogden. Settlement
was scarce in many of the thickly
populated districts Of today and all the
vast 'anges of the eastern Oregon
counties were open and free, veritable
seas of bunchgrass.
ore of the most terrible storms of
the year visited eastern Oregon on
Thanksgiving day, 1881. Roads were
blockaded with mud and snow,
freighters were stalled all along the
route between Meacham and Baker
City, the stages were forced to stop
for the cay at different places and
business was almost wholly suspend
ed on account of the storm.
\ picture of a scene of 25 years
ago today viii lee readily recognized
by many pioneers who are yet alive
in eastern oregon.
Pyle Canyon, a narrow valley east
Of Union was the gateway over the
high range of hills between Grand
Ronde and Powder river valleys. The
great overland road travelled by every
immigrant and freight team coming
into Oregon passed through this mar
row valley in the mountains.
On Thanksgiving day, 1881, the
roads in the valley were blocked. Mud
was hub decp all along the route.
Horses sank to their knees and soon
became exhausted in the binding
storm. Men could not see the road
ahead OF them. Drifting snow filled
the wagons, covered the whiskey bar
rels Of the freighters. sifted into the
laps Of passengers shut in the great
stage coaches. and the lines became
icicles in the drivers hands.
In those days every farmers home
along the overland road was public
Stopping place. Freighters drove up
and unhitched in the road in front
cf farm house anywhere, knowing
that hay, grain, pasture and other
accommodations were to be had for
the asking. 1t was an age of hospital
ity.
