I was thinking how many things a
fellow has to be thankful for around
the city of Dallas. First, he can be
thankful he lives in a country where
it is possible for every man. to get
ahead of the hounds and own his own
home. Then he can be thankful that
he lives in the best State in this great
country, the best county in the state
and In the best city in the county and
among the best people in the world
who buy of Lougharythe best groceries
on the market and works in the best
store in the city for boss who gives
everybody Gncluding the Office Boy
the square deal-not from compulsion
or from business policy but from an
honest desire to live and move our
goods according to the Golden Rule;
So it's up to you to show the boss land
me) that you appreciate our business
methods and wish to encourage them.
See our new line Of fancy jugs and
vases. See our stock as you begin, to
think about Christmas and don't delay
about selecting your presents. we
can show you good line now.

RETURNED FROM THE EAST
w. V. Fuller Describes Industrial
Conditions AS He Found Them
in Atlantic States.

W. V. Fuller arrived home Saturday
evening from six weeks business
and pleasure trip in the East. His
journey eastward was made over the
Canadian Pacific, down through Illi-
nois, New York, and Pennsylvania
terminating in Washington, D. O.,
where he spent weeks time before
starting on his return trip to Oregon
through the central states by way of
the Union Pacific.
While in Washington, Mr.. Fuller
had the pleasure Of meeting President
Roosevelt, paid visit to beautiful
Mount Vernon, and delved to his
hearts content among the govern
ment records in the great capital city.
Concerning business conditions in
the East, he says that while the effects
of the 1907 panic were more severe in
the Atlantic states than in the western
coast states, business in every depart
ment is picking up rapidly since the
close Of the presidential campaign
and everything indicates speedy
return to normal conditions Of pros
perity.
Mr.. Fuller was in New York during
the latter part Of the campaign and for
short time succeeding the election,
and characterizes it as ''the hottest
fight he ever saw" But, he added,
'the opportunities of the working men
to secure employment were immeasur-
ably increased when the final result Of
the election became known"
He said that in passing the offices
of employment agencies few days
before election, one would see their
black boards almost empty, the few
demands for labor being filled almost
the instant they were sent in. In con-
trast to this, within four days after
the election one would see the black
boards in front of the same agencies
chalked as full as they could hold and
instead Of men asking in vain for
employment the situation was reversed
and those having work to be done
were clamoring in vain for men to dc
it.
In Minnesota and the Middle states
the improvement is not so rapid or SC
marked. Minnesota especially, lum'
ber state, has accumulated an enor-
nous reserve of lumber and just al
this time is minimizing its cut of logs
which condition has and will have fol
a short time depressing effect on the
industrial activity of that region.
Mr.. Fuller's main object in making
, the trip was to interest eastern capita
in the timber land of the west, and ht
says that he found conditions in thu
east. and especially in Pennsylvania
most encouraging. In Pennsylvania
he met a number of men who hav'
q already secured large timber holding
in Oregon and Washington and every
thing indicates that the time is a
hand when there will be a genera
movement of eastern capital towart
Oregon and Washington timber.
| Pennsylvania has already exhauste'
its timber supply and everything indi
Gates that the supply from the southern
states, on which they have been rely
ing thus far, will soon be ais
exhausted. Already they are waking
up to the conditions and this awaken
ing is bound to result in genera
movement toward the next natura
base of timber supplies-the forests
Oregon and Washington.

ASSESSORS RUSE.
Trap Rich Women Into Declaration
of Stocks and Bonds.

PITTSBCRG, August 31.-Wives Of ricn
Pittsburgers. after years OF lodging the
city assessors and preventing their bonds
and mortgages being taxed, have at last
been taken into camp. The assessors
claim to have uncovered more than
81 100000 worth of assessable paper.
Thousands of letters had been sent OUT
to Mrs John Smith. Mrs. William Jones.
Mrs James Green, etc. asking Tor a
statement of their holdings. but were ig-
nored. Finally the blue book was thought
OF and other letters sent. this time ad-
dressed TO Mrs. Lucille Jamison smith,
Mrs Vara Worthington and Mrs. Marga-
ret Clancy Green and reading something
like THIS:
MY Dear Madam: You will please FUR
nish at once to the Office of the city AS
SCISSORS full particulars regarding that
block Of Pennsylvania railroad stock
which the late Mr.. -, your father, gave
you on your wedding day. also regarding
the mortgages and bank stocks which
were given you by your husband some
years ago"
The using of maiden names gave the
impression that the assessors knew every
thing, and some rich women even begged
not to be arrested.

WINNINGS $22O,685

NEW YORK. August I.-James r.
keene's racing stable passed the twO-hun-
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. mark in its earnings
for the season of 1908 last Saturday at
the Sheepshead bay track, when the sim
gle item of the Fu;urity made the biggest
addition of the year to the stables earn
ings. The stable, which last year made
new worlds record for winnings with
total of 100000. is we'll in the lead 'on
the winning list Of the present year and.
in spite of the altered condition of rae
ing under the new law has every pros
pect of closely approaching the remarkable
record of 1907. With Maskette's victory
in the Futurity the filly took rank among
the great winners of the stable, with
three races and a total Of $35.OUO won In
her brief career. through which she has
been unbeaten.
Maskettes record ranks in briliance
with that OF the champion Colin, winner
of three races and $jO,OOO this season and
OF fifteen races and s1S2OOO in his two
seasons of racing. while the stable has
still a third horse that practically is I'M
beaten in Celt, which was second to his
stabemate Colin in the Flatbush stakes
races. one al two years old and two at
three years old. with $4,000 to his credit.

FLANAGAN AND ROSE
BEAT MORE RECORDS

NEW YORK. August 31.-American
Olympic athletes kept up the record
breaking performance yesterday at the
games Of the Ancient Order Of Hibernians
at Celtic Park. Long Island. Although a
dozen members Of the American team,
competed. John Flanagan. Irish-Americau
Athletic Club. and Ralph Rose. Olympic
Club. San Francisco. were the bright par
ticular stars. The announcement that
John ]. Hayes. the Marathon winner, and
other Olympic athletes would compete
served to attract nearly 5000 persons to
the grounds.
Flanagan established a new American
record for the siXteen-pound hammer
throw for a nine-foot circle. In his first
throw the Irish-American hurled the mis-
sile 179 feet go inches. supplanting the
former record of 164 feet inches. made
by Matt McGrath at Kansas City. The
throw does not establish new worlds fig
ures as Flanagan threw the hammer 1Sl
feet 8 inches at Queenstown just before
leaving for home. The English authori-
ties have not yet accepted this record.
and should II be refused for any reason
yesterdays throw will become a worlds
record.
The figures for the sixteen-pound shot
put were eclipsed by Rose, but as the put
was made in an exhibition the new record
Will not be admitted Roses best throw
in competition was As feet 91s inches. or
10 inches below the record. After the
event was decided he made two more eff
forts. and on the second sent the shot 10
feet S1s inches.
John ]. Hayes again received flatter-
ing reception. although it paled somewhat
in contrast with that of the previous Sun
day when he made his first appearance
on a track in this country after winning
the Marathon race. He ran an exhibition
half-mile and was loudly applauded for
his efforts. Following him Melvin w.
Sheppard ran half mile unpaced. He
was not timed but the reception accorded
him was equal to that of Hayes.
Michael Driscoll Mercury A. c.. Yonk-
ers. again accounted for the three-mile
run. Although the field was not hard
one to beat. he was forced to a good pace
to catch the judges eyes. He lay back
up to the last lap. when he took up the
running and finished fifteen yards ahead
of D. Campbell. New York A. c. E.
Prick. another Mercury Foot athlete. won
the 6OO-yard handicap from the thirty-five
yard mark. and w. j. Heating, Irish
American A. c.. beat j. McEntee. New
York A. c.. by inches in the 3OO-yard
handicap. Heating was on the eight-yard
mark. and McEntee on the tenth The
1rish-Americans won the point trophy.
