RIGHT SPIRIT.

A recent issue Of the TOnasket
Times contains the following account
of a get together meeting of Oroville
and TOnasket representative citizens
in the interest of a public improve
ment, and we commend the public
spirit displayed in this union of effort.
What has been lacking for some time
has been unity Of endeavor between
the two places, when there was no
reason nor room for division of senti-
ment on any question pertaining to
the betterment of one or the other of
the two places. This display of willing
ness to cooperate is something that we
take a great pleasure in chronicling,
and trust that the same feeling will
continue to grow in sincerity Of effort
/ for all time to come:
"A conference was held Friday be-
tween Oroville and Tonasket citizens
on the needs of Oroville of a better
bridge across the Similkameen river.
The present bridge at that place is in
a bad state of repair, having been con-
demned for traffic. A contract was
about to be let by the county commits
sioners for another temporary struc-
ture such as the one that is being
abandoned, when the idea was evolved
to ask the state to take hold of the
situation and build concrete bridge,
as 1t is really state charge, being a
crossing of State Road No. 10. The
upshot of the conference was decis-
ion to ask the county board to hold in
allegiance the contract they had in
contemplation, pending the action of
the legislature on the necessary appro-
priation. Though both Tonasket and
Oroville are ambitious in furthering
their own welfare, it is conceded in
both towns that there is enough coop
erative spirit that when big detectives
are in view neither town Is going to
step in to block the other. The irriga-
ton interests in particular are case
in point in which both towns are do
ing all in their power to further the
construction of our irrigation projects
"a friendly, neighborly spirit, that
was shown in such magnificent man
ner at the recent banquet in honor
of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce
when number of Tonasket citizens
were also included among the guests.

Indications point toward a rather
quiet winter from a business point Of
view with a shortage of work and a
corresponding shortage in the medium
of exchange. There is an indication of
reduction of prices in everything
that enters into daily consumption,
and there is certainly room for sub
stantial cuts in prices considering the
mutations that have ruled during the
past three or four years. 1t is the re-
action that could be expected after
the jazz life that people led during
and Immediately after the war. Abnor-
NAL wages and high prices created a
craze for spending. The profiteer
blossomed out in every walk of life,
and with a recklessness for squand-
ering born out of an abundance Of
the wherewithal people fell victims to
the silk shirt and auto buying craze,
throwing money away like drunken
prospectors and giving no thought to
the morrow AS consequence those
who could have saved up a handsome
nest egg to meet the pinch of a short
age of work and consequent hard times
are either bankrupt or on the verge of
bankruptcy and facing rather gloomy
winter. With the usual Inconsistency
of the human animal most Of those
who made much money when the op-
portunity for making was good, and
then wasted their substances on nom
essentials, will charge their condition

Governor Hart, in his, messaga TO
the legislature that convenes in jan
uary, will recommend the abolishing
of large number of boards and COM
missions, concentrating the work of
the many in few boards, which is a
step in the right direction in a move
ment to inaugurate economy in the
conduct of the state business. The
state is top heavy with its scores of
commissions, and there are so many
commissions that they get into each
others way at the state capitol. There
is no desire to cut off anybody's meal
ticket, but it has long been realized
that there should be a curtailment in
the number of salaried attaches of
the state government or soon there
would not be sufficient number of cit
liens of the commonwealth to fill the
positions. In other states, especially
In illinois where Gov. Lowden inaug-
urated cleanup, the work Of many
boards and commissions were concen-
trated in the hands of three commits
siOns, the members of which were re-
quired to live at he capital and devote
their entire time and attention to state
business. The same plan can be fol-
lowed in Washington without working
a hardship on any departm ant and re-
sulting not only in better service but
the saving of many thousands of dol
lars

THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION.

Washington, Nov. 12.-President
Wilson issued his Thanksgiving 1roc-
lamation tonight. The text follows:
THE season approaches when it
behooves us to turn from the distrac-
tons and preoccupations of our daily
life, that we may contemplate the
mercies which have been vouchsafed
to us and render heartfelt and un-
feigned thanks unto God for his man
fold goodness.
This Is an old observance of the
American people, deeply imbedded in
our thoughts and habits. The burdens
and the stresses of life have their own
insistence.
I'VE have abundant cause for
thanksgiving. The lessons of the war
are rapidly healing. The great army
of free men, which America sent to
the defense of liberty, returning to
the grateful embrace of the nation, has
resumed the useful pursuits of peace,
as simply and as promptly as it rush
ed to arms in obedience to the cOun-
trys call. The equal justice of our
laws have received vindication in the
support of law abiding people
against sinister attacks which have
reflected only the baser agitations of
war. now happily passing.
I'm plenty security and peace. our
virtuous and self reliant people face
the future, its duties and its oppor-
tunities. May We have vision to dis
Germ our duties; the strength both of
hand and resolve to discharge them |;
and the sOundness Of heart to realize
that the truest opportunities are those
of service.
I'm a spirit then, of devotion and
stewardship We should give than
in our hearts and dedicate ourselves
to the service of Gods merciful ar
loving purposes to his children.
Wherefore, I, Woodrow Wilson,
president of the United States Of
America, do hereby designate Thurs
day, the twenty-fifth day of November
next, as a day Of Thanksgiving and
prayer, and I call upon my country
men to cease from their ordinary tasks
and avocations upon that day, giving
it up to the remembrance of God and
His blessings and their dutiful and
grateful acknowledgements"
