for the blessings of life, liberty and
the pursuit of happinest on the date
officially assigned for properly express,

any shortcomings noticeable in the

one the county up to this time have
never obtained any rlght-of-way from
the Great Northerd railroad, which

AUTOMOBILE SHOP,

Oroville is moving along in the van
with the progressive towns of eastern
Washington, and gathering in such
branches of business as the progress of
the times creates demand for. The
latest addition is an automobile garage,
or sales room, where the man who
wants to invest in a gasoline machine
can have his wants supplied without
the necessity of trip to the outside.
The new institution is to be known as
the Washington Motor Car company,
with Monroe Hartman as president and
treasurer, and Chas. T. Peterson as
secretary and manager. The company
will be the Inland Empire distributors
for the McFarlan Six, machine that
should be in every family that can af-
ford some quicker means of moving
around than on foot. Besides handling
automobiles the company will keep in
stock supplies and accessories indispen-
sible to auto owners. The repairing
department will be in charge of Mr..
Peterson, who has developed into an
expert at doctoring cars that 60 lame.
The auto habit has not taken an epi-
demic form up this way as yet, but
with an establishment of this kind in
sight it may break out with good
deal of virulence. The new company
could look upon symptoms of that char
acter with good deal of complacency.

the interest of better train service on

from the West Point and Annapolis
academies which will meet on Frank
lin Field this afternoon, after a lapse
of two years. The weather is perfect.
The army and navy games rings
down the curtain of the football stage
in the east and the game has hereto
fore invariably furnished the most
brilliant spectacle seen in this section
during the football season. Washing
ton society journeys to Franklin Field
in force and everybody that can get
away from the war and navy and
other departments at Washington will
be found in the stands. Army and
naval officers active and retired, liv
ing within a thousand miles around
Philadelphia are here to root for their
favorites.
The army is a slight favorite in the
| little betting that has been observed
but the naval contingent is taking
| all the money that is offered. Both
teams have played consistent football
| and they enter the game on as nearly
an equal footing as any elevens that
| have ever representa- the two institu-
tions. The Cadets have played seven
| games this season and the midship-
men eight and each have scored a
total of 90 points The Annapolis
team has the record of not having
| been scored upon, while but nine
points a touchdown by Harvard and
a field goal by Yale have been tailed
| against west ROlnIi WHICH mas Ildu
a schedule of harder games. The
coaches report their respective teams
in fine physical condition and neither
side has any thought of losing.
The teams meet under the auspices
of the University of Pennsylvania
which was instrumental in bringing
the two academies together in 1899
! for annual football games after a
| break of six years. Since 1899 all
games have been held on Franklin
Field except the contest of 1905
which was played at Princeton. Last
years game was cancelled because of
the death of Player Byrne from in
juries received in a game played at
| West Point.
Today will be the fifteenth time that
teams representing the two academies
have met on the football field.
i OF the fourteen games played the
army has won seven and the navy six,
| with one contest tie.

was signed by o. L. Dickson, who was

teal way by which substantial por-
ton of this amount may be saved, sew

you to name your own salary. This
proposition is made to you in the same
spirit of sincerity in which you rem

Uncle Joe Discusses the Vote at the
Recent Election.

Washington, Nov. 26.-Philosophic
and smiling, Speaker Joseph G. Can
non returned to Washington. While
mildly deploring the result of the re-
cent election, in which, he said. "a ma
jority has made a mistake in giving
our friends, the Democrats, control of
the Sixty-second congress-" he added:
with that responsibility it remains
to be seen what they will do. 1 shall
be glad if they find themselves able
to redeem their promises in the cam
paign: to reduce the cost of living and
increase the price of labor
Speaker Cannon said he did not ex-
pect the passage of much legislation
in the forthcoming session, owing to
the scant time in which congress could
act. He expected that the appropria-
tions for the coming fiscal year would
be in the neighborhood of a billion
dollars. The speaker was satisfied
with the condition of the country, de-
claring that never before had the
United States been so prosperous.

BUCK VISITS WESTERN SHOPS.
Santa Fe superintendent of Motive
Power May Decrease Force.

HOhCE 1AnEg OCNANNNSO OAOS"
san Bernardino, Cal. Nov. 26.-W.
F. Buck, superintendent of motive
power on the Santa Fe system, just
has been in San Bernardino on an in
spection trip. He comes from A1bu-
uuerque, where he has been attending
o conference of the mechanical de-
partment heads, held as the result OF
the placing of Albuquerque on the
western grand division.
That his visit here may lead to an
Increased shop force, which has for
Eoue time been rumored, is a report
that spread, although not verified.
while in Albuquerque, it was agreed
through his recommendation to in
crease the shop force there from 10
TO 3 per cent.
At the time 1t was stated that the
Increased demands of the mechani-
cal department in this section and
various other points on the coast
would necessitate the increase in
shop forces.
The conference held in Albuquer-
que was on the topic of increased me
chanical demands and it is thought
that Mr.. Bucks visit to San Bernar-
dino today was in the interest of a
larger force to handle more work.
While in the city he looked over
the new building, departing for Los
Angeles, from where he probably will
go to the northern part Of the state
