Coos River began October Is, ard
from present indications they will have
a full supply of Chinook eggs which
will amount to from five to seven mil
lion. After getting through with the
work with the Chinooks, Superinten-
ent Smith will take his crew over on
the Coquille River where an attempt
will be made to get supply of Sill
verside eggs for the Coquille River
hatchery station, which now has a
capacity sufficient for four or five mil
lion.
From recent reports l have received
the following from the different sta
tions:
Tillamook Hatchery station-At the
new Tillamook station established
this season on the Trask river. they
have q river full of salmon below the
racks and the collection of eggs will
be limited to the capacity Of the sta
ton and the funds available for the
seasons work. The permanent rack
that was put in across this river this
season has withstood two severe
freshets without being sprung or dam
aged In any way and appears to be
good for all time to come. The work
of collecting eggs from the Chinook
variety of salmon will be taken up
November l.
The work of collecting spawn at
Yaquina was taken up October Is with
indications good for two or three mill
lion Chinook eggs and three or four
million Silversides.
In addition to the work done with
the Chinooks. we are now collecting
Silverside spawn at our Salmon River
hatchery and at the Wallowa hatchery
with prospects good for fair supply
of this variety of eggs at each sta
ton.
District No. "2."
From present appearances, the re-
suit at our Coast River hatcheries will
be very different and all will do ex-
ceptionally we'll and make collections
far in excess of the funds available
for the work of taking care of the
young fry and keeping them until they
should be turned out.
With the exception of the Umpqua
River hatchery, where the work was
finished October Z, and a collection of
5,O26,0O0 eggs made; all of the stations
are in the midst of their egg taking
season, which, with the Chinooks, will
last throughout the month of Novem-
ber and with the Silversides will last
until near the latter part of Decem-
ber.

Harvest Festivals of Old.

Man Is so constituted that he Is for
ever straining for blessings from afar
while overlooking those at his feet.
With our inordinate desire for mate
rial possessions, we are prone to for
get the ethical and spiritual import of
Thanksgiving. To call forth our graft
tude we must have more and more
things. We must be able to display
an array of brilliant tangible objects.
Moreover, we must have sumptuous
repasts, rich wines and heavy silver
to be in a position to offer up prayer
full thanks to the Almighty Source
whence all blessings flow."
1t seems we cannot be thankful for
a little good despite the dictum that
man wants but little here below.
We cannot show our gratitude unless
1t be for an observation-disclosures
mans petitioning the Higher Powers
with prayers and sacrifices from the
time of the patriarchs to our own
Of the earth.
The harvest coming after the care
and toll of tilling the soil, the sowing
of seed and anxious watching of the
fields, has therefore been almost uni
versally set apart as time for spe-
cial thanks, or Thanksgiving. How
ever, so far as we know, no other ma
ton carries out this custom regular
ly every year on a specially appoint
ed day; hence Thanksgiving Day has
come to be regarded as distinctively
American festival.
1t is interesting to observe that
while Thanksgiving Day as we know
1t, is a peculiarly American festival,
harvest festivals were celebrated
more than 5000 years ago. For in
stance, the Jewish Sukkot (Festival
of Booths) or Feast of the Taber'
nacles, was harvest or "ingathering
festival held from the 18th to the
22nd of the tenth month, the first and
eighth day reserved for holy convoca
ton.
According to religious usage, the
people left their houses and came
forth to live in the booths or tents
made of twigs, branches and brush
wood. during the holy session of eight
days. The interior of the booths were
made festive with shrubs and foliage
and respectfully the leaves and fruit
of the palm. the ''goodly tree" of Pal
estine. (Thc jewish people OF the
Orthodox faith in many places still
observe this festival in its original

that famous Plymouth celebration OF
1921 was harvest festival, never de

day itself, and so far as we have any
existing evidence not greatly given to
gastronomy. No mention of Thanks
giving is found in contemporary list
of holidays for merrymaking as late
as 100.
Until as late as the war of 1912, or
later, Thanksgiving was not regular

ings, either spiritual or material, and
usually deferred until such an excuse
for its appointment offered, even
though it might be for two or three
years, as was frequently the case. II
usually came in the autumn, however
and generally bountiful harvest was
mentioned as an incidental cause.
For more than go years after the
arrival Of the Pilgrims Thanksgiving
was appointed by the Legislature, and
its respectful, religious observance
was quite as obligatory as was obedi
ence to any law of the common
wealth that carries with it a lega
penalty.
The Colorado statesman., 1906-11-24

form). Thanks and praise for the
bounties of the previous year were of.
fered in ritualistic formula and by the
chanting of hymns; whilst merry
games were played in which fruits and
nuts, emblematic of the season, were
always somewhere in evidence.
Among the Greeks we also find a
harvest festival, the Feast of De.
meter" named after the Goddess OF
Corn or Grain, and of the harvest
Here there were also probably games
and merry-making as well as religious
ceremony. The Romans likewise com
memorated harvest called "Cerelia'
after the Goddess of the Harvest
Ceres" represented in a familiar pic
ture by beautiful woman bearing q
bundle of sheaves in her arms.
Thus we see that the same senti
ment that impels an individual to the
expression OF gratitude for benefits
received, also moves a nation to mani
fest in some reverent form its CRATE
full recognition of special privilege oil
general welfare.
The ethical and spiritual signifi
canoe of Thanksgiving, with all its
feasting, its happy reunions and its
merrymaking, will never be lost sight
of, If we remember that this great
feast day" was born of fast days
And that while some are feasting, 9th
ers will still be fasting.
Thanksgiving Day will be animated
by finer spirit also when we think Of
it only in terms of materialism but in
terms of patriotism and democracy
when we remember it as the day pro
claimed by the first president or
which to commemorate the birth OF
the nation, in the adoption of the con
stitution; and as the day fixed by
Abraham Lincoln for prayer and
thanksgiving after the nation hat
passed through a terrible crisis-ths
civil war.

Always Staunch

The Denver Republican has al
ways avoided the fallacies and
knaveries Of yellow journalism,
and its steadily increasing Circula-
ton proves conclusively that its
policy of telling the plain Truth
without exaggeration or misrepre-
sentation, standing fast. for the
Right, is heartily approved with
growing force by the intelligent
Public to which it appeals.
To read it is a liberal Education,
and the citizen who goes without
it does a positive harm to himself,
to his family, and to the commu-
nifty.

ment of 2H cents per day

All Can Be Thankful.

In spite of the sorrows of life the
young and old all have something t.
be thankful for. Indeed, Jeremy Tay
lor held that "the privative blessings
the blessings of immunity. safe
guard, liberty and integrity-whicl
we enjoy. deserve the Thanksgiving o
whole life" Each family know
what 1t should be thankful for at thu
present moment, and the spirit of thu
day will lead them to remember II
and by remembering it they sro ruad'
better morally and spiritually.

Notwithstanding a quite prevalent
opinion to the contrary, for which

GUESSING ON RATE BILL.
Both Factions in Senate Claim Sufficient Votes to Carry Amendments When
 the Time Comes.

Washington, May 2-The decision Monday to take up the railroad rate bill on Friday next for amendments under a fifteen minute rule, means a flnal vote on the measure at no dis tant day. On some sides in the senate 1t is stated that the meaning is that the faction demanding court re- view amendment has been assured of the necessary strength to adopt such an amendment while other senators charge that this faction has been un- able to get the strength to amend the bill and has abandoned it's fight.
 Senators Crane and Kean stated unqualifiedly Monday that they have the votes to amend the bill but that no agreement had been reached as to what the amendment will be- They said, however, that in every sense 1t would be a broad judicial review. The pride of authorship is said to inter- fere with an agreement on any parti- cular amendment. but preference would have to be voted for one of half dozen, any one of which would be satisfactory to this so-called con- servative faction. Several other sen- ators favoring such a review amend ment, expressed similar views.
 Contrary opinions were expressed by Senators Deliver and Long, two of the men who have fought for the bill as it was passed by the house or with some such court review amendment as was agreed upon at a conference at the'White house by friends of the bill They stated. after the adjourn ment of the senate Monday, that they did not believe there were votes enough in the senate to put broad re- view amendment into the bill, and that they were not sure that the senate wanted any change at all, even such a limited review as was proposed by Senator Long after the White house conference.
 In some quarters it has been stated that those who have sought to amend the bill have become satisfied that provision for & broad review already exists and that this is much broader even than the friends of the measure have thought.
 Undoubtedly there are several votes in the senate that both sides are claiming and of which neither side is certain.

DELANEY'S MILL REMNANT SALE
The Biggest Chance for Bargains il
 the City.

Delaney's Mill Remnant Sale will commence next Thursday and continue nine days. This will undoubtedly be the greatest bar gain event ever held in Mena.
 You can buy Lawns, Batistes Percales and Ginghams in some cases, for less than the raw ma terial is worth. To you who have never attended a Mill Remnant Sale, 1 will say, the big mills in the East accumulate small lots of calico. gingham. percales. wooden dress goods, and as the lots are too small to sell to the big whole sale trade, they are tied up in bundles and sold to retail stores that can turn them into cash quick. Delaney was lucky enough to secure the lot this spring.
 The sale will start next Thurs day, May 3.

N. P. O'Neal's Father Hears That Mena
 Was Blown Away.

Judging from telegram re- ceived by N. K. O'Neal there must be report out that Mena has been swept off the map by a cyclone.
 Mr. O'Neal received the follow ing message about noon today from his father, George M. O'Neal, who lives at Mckinley, Tex.
 'Just heard Mena blown away. Wire full particulars. Are you hurt ?"
 After feeling of himself and looking over peaceful, prosperous Mena, MT. O'Neal wired his father that the report had no foundation.
 The city received a very severe wctting last night and again to- day, but no wind storm to do any harm.
 The Star this afternoon also received a telegram from the St. Louis Post Dispatch requesting that full account of the de- struc,ive cyclone which visited Mena last night be sent them. Following this message came one from the Kansas City Star asking for full particulars ot the cyclone.
