THANKSGIVING

Thanksgiving is the beginning of
the holiday season. The harvest Is
over, grain and fruits gathered and
housed and the people meet on this
appointed day to give thanks. 1t is
largely day for family reunions the
home coming of the younger members
where all assembled under the old
roof tree relate their adventures and
experiences and count their blessings
and give thanks. To the dear home
people it means most for Oh this day
they renew their youth as they are
surrounded by their children once
again and forget the years that are
flown as Joe, and Meg Harry and Kate
frolic with their own little ones until
even the walls reecho with the old
time laughter. To the children it
means day Of fun and feasting. But
In the cleaning after the big dinner
is over and chairs are drawn closer
comes the most sacred part of the
day. Hearts speak hearts as the links
of the broken chain are counted and
the dear ones recalled VINO Will never
meet with them again on earth. Few
are the homes where there is not one
vacant chair. Tears will fall, for
human love Is strong and hearts Will
yearn for the touch OF vanished
hand: but the spirit of Thanksgiving
triumphs, and with smiling faces
turned upward thanks are given to
God for the dear companionshipS and
the memory of the loved and departed
which Is sweeter than all else the
world contains, and with this heaven
" cheer all press onward stronger and
braver to met life's duties, and when
the Master comes and asks what
have ye done for me?" He may not be
met, empty handed.

Notice

The city authorities want to call the at
tention of the property owners as well as the
merchants to the conditions of the Easements
of the different blocks of our city. Afew base
ments have been inspected and were found to
be veritable fire-traps. The marshal has re-
ceived orders to inspect the various Easements
of the business portion of our city. The old
adage, 'an ounce of prevention is better than
than pound Of cure" still holds good and q
little precaution along the line of fire-preven-
ton might save considerable financial losses
and distress. The city authorities expect the
hearty cooperation of the citizens in this i'm
portant matter. Respectfully,

POSSES SEEK
BOLD R0BBER
Offered for Bandit
Believed to Be College
Man Out of Work.

Redding, Cal. Jan. 5.-Posses are
searching the rough country surround
ing this city tonight in an effort to
capture the lone bandit who robbed
the mail car of the Southern Pacific
train 16, h Oregon Express" today.
Rewards amounting to $1,000 have
been offered for the capture of the
man, who according tn the description
given by the mail clerks. probably is II
consumptive. Officials believe him to
be a college man, who came west for
his health. and who, unable to obtain
work. resorted to robbery.
The robber entered the mail car at
Red Bluff. and at the point of II re-
volver compelled Mail Clerk Charles j.
Ifhein to tic the hands of Mail Clerk
Robert l.. Warner and of Helper
Peter Heinrich. and to gag them with
their own handkerchiefs. Tho mems
feet We're tied into empty mail sacks.
The robber, Who appeared cool and
somewhat amused. ordered Rhcin to
open the registered mail sacks and
picked out and opened all letters. but
d~isregarded packages. He instructed
I3hein to throw off tho usual mail at
all stations. AS the train ncared
Iiedding. the robbcr bound and gagged
Rhein and tied his feet in a mail sack.
AS the train pulled into Redding, the
robber stepped from the car and walk
cd away. Rhein succeeded in working
the gag loose and cried tor help, at
tracing tho attention of u WACO
driver, who entered the car and re-
leased the three men.

IS NOW
ALMOST READY

Washington. Jan. 5.-Thc national
monetary commission today virtually
agreed upon Il provision, which it is
believed will have the effect af pre-
venting the exercise of undue influ-
ence upon the affairs of the proposed
%dividual. corporation or section of the
country. This practically completed
the work of that body.
Great fear from the beginning of
the commissions labors has been that
$500, 900, 900 reserve which it is pro-
posed to establish would be controlled
by some financial center.
Representatives Nreeland and
Weeks. and former Representative
Bonyage. at today's meeting presented
a proposition which proved accepta-
BILE 1t would restrict the voting
rights of banks in cases in which in
~dividuals or corporations own stock
in more than of them. The effect
OF this provision would be to limit or
prevent voting by banks owned or
partly owned by n stakeholder OF
n set of stockholders.
The division of the United States
into 10 branch reserve associations
will be as follows:
One in the New England states. two
IN eastern states, four in southern,
four i'll middle western, and four i'm
far western and Pacific coas states.
The result of this distribution will be
to give the southern and western and
Pacific states a proportion of control
far in excess of their banking capital.
The commission recently made nu-
nervous changes in the composition of
the board of directors of the reserve
association. There are to be seven ex-
offlcio members instead of six, the sec
rotary of agriculture being added to
the list and only nine members in
stead of ~ are not bankers, the other
three being transferred to the list to
pc chosen by the voting representa-
tives of the various districts which
list is enlarged from II to Is.
The commission will meet again to-
morrow to add the finishing touches
to the report which it is understood
will be in shape for presentation to
the two houses of congress Tuesday.
In hope of eliminating politics from
the question the bills carrying the Aid
rich plan into effect will not be press
ed prior to the presidential election or
during the present session of con-
SreSS.
