THEODORE UNO HIS THANKS6IVIN6
President Roosevelt has issued his
Thanksgiving Proclamation.
This is pretty good, if left to itself, as
you must admit. But there is another
thought lu this connection which can
not be allowed to pass. Mr. KooseveK
HAS to Issue a Thanksgiving procla
mation. Imagine his feeling* if after
the elec'ioa of Bryan that duty still
devolved upon him. Wo-der if this
tuought occurred to him when, on the
2nd of the month be issued a paper that
related to a raattei so far in advance as
as the 2tJth. It is no doubt another
illustration of that wonderful fore
thought that characterizes one of the
very greatest presidents and which bas
prevented his ever being caught
napping in hi* owu affairs and which
has marked him for success from the
beginning. The Alaskan is willing
to join in tae betting at three to one
on Taft nod these observations will uot,
therefore, be Ukej as a hint of its lean
ings io the matter, but only as an
another occasion to make its
obeisance to the man of large affairs
who yet over looks do detail in bis
precaution against being caught in an
uncomfortable positioo. They are
betting three to one in favor of Taft,
but there is the one chance in three,
you see. No Thanksgiving proclama
tion after Bryan is elected for us? Kb.
Teddy ? Aud our thanksgiving
proc amation, issued on the day
BEFO.iE election, serve* the pur|x?e
of a campaign document and ought to,
and no doubt it wtil, make vote*. We
are a great people.

HOW THE BATHE HIS MOVED
During the progress of the cam
paign which closed last night the line
of battle moved back and forth sev
eral times. First it was all Taft.
The aggressiveness of Mr. Bryan
changed this, caused his stock to
go up considerably. Mr. Hearst dip
ped effectively into the campaign
and struck hard right and left but
making most inroads upon the rank>
of Mr. Bryan ? where he intended
to. Then Mr. Roosevelt stirred the
Taft committer to renewed energy
with the result that Taft seems to
have gained rapidly toward the last.
The New York Herald presented
the situation as it appeared to un
biased observers at a given time
about five weeks ago as follows:
Total votf in electoral college.. 483
Necessary to elect a president . . 242
Republican reasonably sure 206
Democratic reasonably sure 161
Doubtful 116
Taft to win must get (doubtful
votes) 36
Bryan to win must get (doubtful
votes) 81
Later the same paper presented
this estimate:
Total vot?- in electoral college . . 483
Necessary to elect a president.. 242
Republican reasonably sure 16.">
Democratic reasonably sure .... 161
Doubtful 13"
Republicans to win must get
(doubtful votes) 7"
Democrats to win must get
(doubtful votes) SI
An estimate mad" today would ad
vance tht- chances of Taft very ma
te rially.
MR BRYAN, m HENfif CLAY AND
CEASER
Secretary of Commerce and Labor
Oscar S. Straus, was talkie* to an
auUence at C eveland the other night
when some folks app!?uded bis men
tion of the name of Bryan. Quick as a
flis , Mr. S-raus took advantage of the
opportunity
"I'm gl*d?" sa'd' 't0 ?eet an
?u tience that appUuds Bry?n and
esteems him. I admit that if he could
briojt about the millennium he would
be glad to do it. Mr. Bryan has been'
compared to Henry Clay and to Julius
Ciesar. Henry Clay said he had ra'her
be right than be president, and Mr.
Bryan'* career shows he would rather 1
be president than be right. Twice the
people offered the crown to Caesar and
he rejec'.ed it. Bryan has twice offer
ed to take the crown but the people re
jected him."
But it isn't likely there will be any
war in Europo. They are merely
playing for position.
Both headquarters are confident.
Well, what is a headquarters for?
THE ABIDING.
PAIN and pleasure both decay;
Wealth and poverty depart:
Wisdom make* a longer stay.
? Therefore be thou wise, my heart.
T AND remains not, nor do they
L Who tho lands today control.
Kings and princes pass away.
Therefore be thou fixed, my soul.
IF by hatred, love or pride
Thou art shaken, thou art wrong.
Only one thing will abide
Only goodness can be strong.
?Richard Henry Stoddard.
LOVE IN ONE OCTAVE.
SUNDAY. Mudge, you seemed so fair.
Love, the rascal, came to blind me:
Monday morn I feared your stare;
Tuesday you thought tit to mind me;
Wednesday? well, perhaps you'd care;
Thursday saw your lips resigned me;
Friday came the solitaire;
Saturday the vows that bind me!
?Thomas Walsh.
FRUITFUL TRIP TO THE; OLD CASSIAR
New placers have been discovered
iu Yukon. In Dawson are Stephen
Sweeney and Mm. O. Varscen, who
returned a few days ago from a trip
of exploration taking nearly one year,
says the Dawson News. They bring
back with them a wealth of ex
perience, and a poke of gold taki-r
from this neighborhood. It goes over
nineteen dollars in value.
The explorers are Yukoners. Th>
new placers art* iu the hills which di
vide the headwaters of the Pcll.v and
of the Liaril. The bars of High
land creek, which is the name given
to the stream, yielded S 10 a day to
the most primitive methods.
Sweeney and Varscen are Yukon
ers. A year ago they were working
ground in the Klondike, when the>
decided to make the trip via Cas
siar and Dease lake to the head of
the Pelly, and thus to Dawson again.
Last fall they repaired to the out
side. This spring they proceeded to
Wrangell, thence up the Stickeen.
and into the Cassiar. All the dig
gings of that region were visited, and
then the travelers struck west, pan
ning the streams as they proceeded.
Saturday night .Mr. Sweeney was pre
vailed upon to relate the trip to
those assembled at the free informa
tion bureau of the Miners' and Mer
chants' association. Said Mr. Swee
ney :
"I' is a wonderful country up there'
showing gold on the bars over a
great area. We were unable to sink
a single hole to bedrock on account
of the lack of frost. You may talk
the White Channel of this district,
but it is only a drop in the bucket
to the White Channel up there. There
the White Channel is both wider and
deeper, and at the same time can
readily be traced by the eye to an
extent which makes this White Chan
nel look insignificant. There it has
been cut deeply by the streams, and
shows in some places vertical banks
a hundred feet in height ? the white
| gravel showing exactly the same
characteristics as here.
"Gold can be found anywhere on
the tributaries of Highland, which
abounds in white channel deposits.
While passing through that country
we met the man Fisher, who became
famous some years ago by starting
to look for the fabulous Lost crcek
of that region. Lost creek is sup
posed to have furnished a big load
of gold for a man who died out in
civilization before he could describe
where he found it. Fisher went in
the Francis lake country up there,
and for three years lived on meat
straight. But when we met him he
LIGHT SNGW, CALM. COOL

the past several days it wuuld seem
that the roses are about to bloom
again. Zoro is the very best that en

robins.

at Moore wharf at midnight, Nov. 2.

was returning from the trading post
with supplies, having been forced to j
?o there by an attack of scurvey.
Fisher had not found what he was I
after when we met him. but that ho |
was prospecting a gold section may
be taken from the fact that he paid
$4.~i0 for his supplies in gold dust i
which he panned out in a little while
for that purpose.
"On one of the bars we prospocted j
we took out $10 a day. But It was
not bar diggings we were looking i
for. and we spent most of our tinx i
trying to sink holes. We failed, but i
will try it again under more favora

ON LITTLE BOY
,
His Hands were a Solid Mass, and
Disease Spread All Over His Body
?In Four Days the Child was
Entirely Cured? Mother Strongly
RECOMMENDS CUTICURA
SOAP AND OINTMENT
"One dav we noticed that our little I
boy was all broken out with itching j
sores. We lirst noticed it on his little j
hands. His hands were not as bad j
then, and we didn't think anything
serious would result. But the next day
we heard of the Cuticura Remedies being
no good for itching sores, etc.. that I
thought I would get them. By this
time the disease had spread all over his
body, and his hands were nothing but
a solid mass of this itching disease. I
went to the drug store and purchased
a box of Cuticura Soap and one box of
Cuticura Ointment, and that night I
stripped my little boy and took the
Cuticura Soap and lukewarm water and
washed him well. Then I dried him
with a soft bath towel, and took the
Cuticura Ointment and rubbed him
thoroughly with it. I did this every
evening before I put him to bed and iii
three or four nights he was entirely
cured. You have my permission to
publish this because anybody who suf
fered as my baby did ought to know of
the Cuticura Remedies. I will surely
and gladly recommend the Cuticura
Remedies, "for they are a godsend to all
suffering with skin diseases. Mrs. Frank
Donahue, 20S Fremont St., Kokomo,
Ind.. Sept. 1G. 1907."

Ointment, the great Skin Cure, but do
