GRATITUDE.

You hear it said every day that the
only place in the world to find gratitude
is in the dictionary. If we seek it there
we ought to think more of it, for the
definition says it is sense of apprecia-
ton of favors received acc ompanied
with goodwill toward the benefactor-
an emotion or sentiment of thankful
ness natural response of the heart
to kindness intended or received The
cynic's definition of gratitude it 50
lively sense of appreciation of favors
to come" but while we admit this is
smart, and like many smart sayings
partly true, we must also declare it un,
wholesome. BE thankful for every
thing; it makes no difference how
small the favor may be, its real power
of happiness to the giver, as well as to
the recipient, depends upon the proper
appreciation it calls forth
All of us are constantly receiving ia
vors of one kind or another, gifts of
worth, cOurtesies, suggestions and the
mutual acts and thoughts that make up
our daily lives. If we accept these
without intention of ample recognition
or return we are guilty of injustice
And there is the more direct appeal to
our selishness, because, if we are not
grateful, then we lose. We hear
every day of former favorites i'm public
life complaining of their lost popularity
and saying that people are tickle. If
we look under the surface we are likely
to find that the favorites who lost their
hold deserved their fate, because they
were never grateful for their good for
tune, and did nothing sincerely un-
selfish to repay it. 1t is fact which
we should never underestimate, that as
a rule, people are all right, and if we
do our part they will do theirs.

The Primary Law Explained.

Owing to the numerous questions
asked, it is evident that many people
lack knowledge regarding the primary
for the selection of a Republican can
didate for governor, which will be held
September |. The primary law pro.
vides that unless some candidate re-
ceives plurality and 40 per cent of
the vote cast at the primary, the nom
ination shall be made by the state con-
vention.
Under this provision a primary nom
nation would be assured if there were
only two candidates. At the present
time there are three Republican can
didates for governor, the list including
Gov. Warner, DR.. j. b. Bradley and
Horatio ;. Earle.
1t is possible that the vote cast at the
primary might be DIVIDED among the
three candidates so that no one of
them would have the required percent
age, but this is hardly probable. If
there were half dozen candidates the
chances of anyone getting 40 per cent
would be rather slim,

WILL SELL MANY ACRES
May Holland Company Plans Big
Colonization on Grand ROnde
Reservation.

To place on the market at one time
$4,000 acres Of Oregon farming lands
is the ambitious plan of the May Hol-
land Company. This company has
closed a deal for acreage in the Grand
Ronde Indian reservation, a part of
what the Indians referred to as the
"big burn" by reason of a great forest
fire that many years ago swept over
that part of the state. The effect of
the big burn is today turned to profit,
in that the promoters of the COLOMBIA
ton scheme which has developed,
declare that the old-time forest fire
covered the land with partly destroyed
pine and fir remains, that in years
since made the land very rich in loan.
The plan of the newly organized
company is to cut up the tract in small
farms, enter into plan of interesting
settlers, both in the Middle West and
abroad, to whom will be sold tracts as
small as 20 acres, if desired, and on up
to 100 acres. The plan as outlined at
present is to sell about 90 acres for
cash to colonists Of limited means,
reserving alongside as much more as
they may be inclined to acquire In the
ensuing three to five years. In this
way, it is thought, the whole tract will
be taken up by men with families who
will work raising crops, fruit or cattle,
the latter Of course, on the larger
tracts, and with this idea in view the
colonization scheme is to be worked
out through correspondence and per-
sonal conferences with intending pur-
chasers.
The land is said to have been pro-
nounced by experienced authorities as
of the best in the state for agriculture
and along its borders are hillsides
that are also said to be excellent for
grazing. The main body Of the land
acquired is rolling, and in addition to
the acreage taken over from the Grand
Ronde Land company, there is quite
an additional amount on which
options have been taken by the new
owners.
The investment represents a con-
sideration of something like 100000
and is expected to develop into one Of
the most important small farm settle
ments so far undertaken in this state.
A townsite is to be established at a
point about IL miles from Sheridan
and is on the line of the Lytle road to
Tillamook, also having the Govern
ment military road in its immediate
vicinity.-EXchange.

Will Play "1n Dixie Land. "

The Alcazar Stock Company will
appear in Dallas, Monday night,
October 26, presenting the four-act
play "In Dixie Land" a beautiful
story of Southern life that will appeal
to all lovers of refined drama. The
members OF the company regard this
play as one of their best offerings to
the people of Dallas this season. The
attendance at both of the previous
entertainments given in this city by
the Alcazar Company, although not
so large as the merit Of the company's
work deserved, was good and all who
were present we're highly delighted
with the plays offered and the artistic
work Of the actors. The company has
grown into high favor and will prob
ably play to crowded houses in its
future engagements in this city. Mr.
Rasmus, OF Portland. the manager Of
the enterprise, is highly pleased with
the support he has received thus far
and will spare no pains in securing
the best Of entertainments for his
patrons on the new circuit.

TEAM MAKES GOOD SHOWING
Rifiemen of Company HI Score Success
in Their First Official
Shoot.

The rifle team of Company H made
a most creditable average in the Off
ciai shoot held on the range west of
Dallas, Tuesday, considering that the
men had had scarcely two weeks prac-
tice in which to prepare themselves
for the event, and both officers and
men are we'll pleased with the results.
The range officers and the men in
the rifle team drove out to the range
early Tuesday morning many of the
friends of the young men accompany
ing them as spectators. The shooting
lasted from about 8 o'clock in the
morning to o'clock In the afternoon.
The highest scores were made on the
500 and 600 yard ranges, the totals
being from 81 to 43 out of a possible
SO. Two sighting shots were allowed
on each range except in rapid firing.
The averages Of the four marksmen
who shot for the regimental trophy
were as follows: H. G. Stingley, All !;
A. W. Bennett, 314 Leonard Shaw 81,
and William Paul, SO. The averages
of the remaining six men on the team,
who, with these four, shot for the reg
mental medal were: Wayne Green
wood, 2S; Earl Day, 80; Edward Shaw,
26l Leon Elder, 34i; B. A. Teats, 20,
and Tom Mayors, 3Of
Colonel Yoran and Captain Houck,
of Eugene, acted as officials. The
scorers were Peter Greenwood and
Roy Wassom and the markers, Chet
Coad and Tracy Savery.

REGISTRATION CLOSES
Polk County Now Has Total 31S7
Registered VOters-Republican
Majority.

The registration of voters on Tues
day, the last day before the closing Of
the books for the November election,
was comparatively heavy bringing the
total number of names registered since
the books were opened in September,
up to 2O3 and making the full regis
tration Of the voters Of Polk county
31S4.
The newly added names do not
materially change the proportion OF
the representation Of the different
parties, and the Republican party in
Polk county has still lead of nearly
700 votes over the Democratic party,
according to the registration books.
Allowing for the failure of some to
vote at the coming election, the voting
of others contrary to their partizan
registration, and for the scattering
vote, it has been estimated that Polk
county will give William Taft, the
Republican candidate, plurality OF
from $50 to 400 votes.

the skating race between George
Brown, the floor manager Of the rink,
and Charles Smith, Of Eugene. Al
though Smith met with considerable
bad luck, falling several times, he
was clearly running entirely out Of
his class, for Brown took the lead
from the start, gained half a lap and
was still gaining when his opponent
fell the first time. Smith gave up the
hopeless race and retired from the
floor before the race was more than
half finished.

THE T MARKET.

NEW YORK, May 1S.-The cotton
market opened steady at unchanged
prices to an advance of I points, July
being relatively firm on continued bull
support and the big English spot sales.
Immediately after the opening July
broke 10 points under scattered realiz-
ing. and later months reacted from the
opening figures owing to good weather,
but there was soon aggressive bull sup
port of July. and the market during
the middle of the morning was excited
with July selling at $50 or II points net
higher, while new crop positions were
10 to II points higher. .
The market was nervous and fairly
active during the late forenoon. with
prices at midday showing a net ad-
vance of 1926 points, led by July, on
covering of shorts and bull support.
