THURSDAY, OCT. 31, 1912 With this issue, the undersigned re- linquishes contraol of the Times, hav- ing sold the plant, good will and sub- cription list to Mr. R. H. Dudley, who will manage the business in the future. All advertising and job print- ing accounts up to the first of Novem- ber are payable to the undersigned, while subscription accounts are payable to the new owner. In retiring lom business in Geyser we desire to express our hearty thanks to the people of th's community fo- the unanimous and enthusiastic sup- port and cooperation which the paper has enjoyed ever since we have been in business here. The advertising columns have been well patronized by local busiuess men and through the - r continued enterprise in this matter we have been able to make the name of Geyser e ell kn•oi n over a large por- do • f rI•k. state as a live and growing town. 'A oh the aid of an efficient corps of neighborhood correspondents. whom we wish, to especially thank for their unselfish services, we have been able to f've our readers a paper that has been more than satisfactory. We trust that the friendship and support that has een given the Times under the retion:• manager may be continued to the proprietor and that Geyser and the entire tributary te.ritory may reap the f , encfits that a good news- pape , e :new 'lit bring to a o'm- roc Vr.rs triih ours. M. E. PARRISH. Our Excuse. This issue of the Times appears under new management. and is not up to the standard, for in the confusion of the change and non -acquaintance. we are somewhat hadicaped. With the help of the splendid corps of corres- pondents and co -operations of the citizens, this town and vicinity can maintain its enviable reputation as the \best town\ along the line. The paper will be independent in politics. Respectfully, R. H. Dudley. Election is over and all are satisfied —at least we shall have to be. . _ The battle is over until another four years and then the same thing over again. The straw vote which you took a few weeks ago turned out just right after all. The Bulgarians seem to be in a fair way to have something fo grace ths center of their table on Thanksgiving Day. Speaking of presidents at this time of year—can anyone tell what our president's name was twenty-five years ago. Bet you are wrong. It is rather difficult to keep from thinking ins talking politics these days. All tile same the in erage man, and most men are average, like some res- pite now and then. Will the party who put soap on our office window on last Thursday night come and remove the same. Soap and a printi% office window are two things which do not mix.

Results in Cascade County As the Times goes to press it is not absolutely certain as to the result of the vote as regards every candidate on the county ticket, but with one or two exceptions the result is practically cer- tain. The indications are that four democrats and two republicans will represent Cascade county in the next legislative assembly as follows: , Mur- ray, Kirshwing, Burns, Durkin, and Tighe and Holt, K. B. McIver, David M. Wood, George Harper and Annie NicAnelly, democrats, are elected on the county ticket, with the probability of John L. Gillin, Jr.. while the republicans elect- ed Kommers, Meigs, Roosevelt, John- ston and Irwin, and possibly Ashton. \Ihe total vote in the county this sear is 4.590, out of 6.069 registered. Of these, Wilson electors received 1.664; Taft, 1,100; Roosevelt, 1,008; Delis, 818. These figures are obtained from a percentage basis, supposing the precincts to be heard from yet are as punctual in so,ing as ,those already heard from. All extra propositions are practically conceded to be carried except referen- dum measure no 300-101, the militia bill, the result of the vote in Cascade county being estimated at 1,057 against and 31 for. Fifty precincts out of 59 in Cascade county gave Duncan, socialist, for gov- ernor, 1.318 votes; Stewart, democrat. 1.309; Wilson, republican. 1,038, and Edwards. Progressive, 647. Thomas J. Walsh, democrat, re cmed 1,799 votes for senator, againq Smith, republican; 1139, and Dixon, progressive, 960. Charles N. Pray re- ceived the highest vote of any candi- date for congress, 1,495; with Thomas Stout, democrat, second with 1,397. The balance of the democratic state ticket received a majority of the votes cast in this county. Something worth reading—the ads. School Report.

Far sweeter strains we fain would bring. CHORUS Thanksgiving day! Thanksgiving day! 'Tie then our nation tries to pay Its heavy debt of gratitude For bountiful supplies of food And richest blessings that expand To cover all of freedom's land. Throughout our country's breadth today Prosperity is holding sway, And marvelous events we track in ali Its history, looking back. -Philadelphia Ledger. The First Thanksgiving. The sufferings of the pilgrims during the first winter In New England were severe. At one time there were only seven well persons to care for the sick. Within four months twenty-one per- sons died of the severe cold and from want of substantial food, and for two years they suffered many privations. The progress of the colony was very slow. Their harvests were Jnsufficleat to feed themselves and newcomers. \During the famine of 1623 the beat dish they could set before their friends was a bit of fish and a cup of cold wa- ter.\ but In the summer and autumn of 1623 they were relieved by a bountiful harvest. After the bountiful harvest of 4623 Governor Bradford appointed a day of thanksgiving, fasting and prayer. This was observed with great solemnity. Gradually the custom of appointing a fast and thanksgiving day each au- tumn after the gathering in of the harvest became universal and spread throughout all the New England colo- nies. During the Revolution a day of national thanksgiving was annually reconintended by congress, and from this grew our annual Thanksgiving ob- servances. Hunting In a City Park. There is only one man who ha ii the right to shoot animals in Central pork. New York city. He Is Arthur Hassler. and it is his duty to protect the sheep, swans, squirrels and other privileged pets from homeless dogs and cats that infest the city parks. And that is not all of his trouble, either, for he has to give his attention occasionally to the water rata along the lake and the hawks that sometimes fly over from Jersey. Hassler roams all through the park looking for animals that are like- ly to do mischief, and he has with him a 22 caliber repeating rifle. Ile Is an unerring shot with this, too, as be has hunted game In all parts of the world. Although it seems a trifle cruel to shoot the animals down In that manner, It really is necessary, as the tame ones in the park would stand lit- tle chance if they were not given that protection. And perhaps , the little boys and girls who play there would be In some danger also, as some of the dogs and cats become so wild after a short taste of freedom that they might cause all kinds of trouble If some- thing were not done about it. How the Pilgrims Feasted. When the harvest bad been ghthered Governor Bradford made preparations for a rejoicing. Four men were sent out to hunt wild game, and they ob- tained enough in one day's bunt to serve 300 persons for three days. In the meantime the largest kitchen in the colony was that at Dame Brewster's house, and it was under the guidance of Priscilla Mullins, who later became the wife of John Alden, that the good housewives prepared the viands for the feast. A message was dispatched to Massasoit bidding him and his men to the celebration. On- the appointed Thursday he and ninety of his warriors arrived, and after a religious service they, together with the colonists, in- dulged in athletic sports under the di- rection of Miles Standish. On the third day the real feast took place. Every- thing had yielded a bountiful supply for this first Thanksgiving, so that when the pioneers sat down to the meal they beheld a table heavily laden with water fowl, wild turkey and ven- ison, corn and barley, and they gave thanks. Conundrums. Why does a chicken three weeks and two days old walk across the road? To get on the other side. Which travels at greater speed. heat or cold? Heat, because you can catch cold.

Martin, Captor of Col. Roosevelt's Assailant. Elbert E. Martin, who by his quick action in seizing Colonel Roosevelt's assailant prevented Schrank from fir- ing a second shot, is the former presi dent's private secretary. All through the tour Martin had been always at the colonel's elbow pushing intrusive per sons away. More than once Colonel Roosevelt reproved him for being \too rough.\ According to H. F. Cochems. who stood beside Colonel Roosevelt, Bchrank was only seven feet distant when he fired. In an instant Martin leaped on him and hurled him to the ground, with one arm twisted around the would be assassin's neck. With his free hand he grasped the revolver around the hammer, so that the weap on could not be tired.

A native of Manchester, Vt.. Mr Martin has for some time made his home In New York. Ile is twenty-nine years old and married. He joined the Roosevelt staff on Aug. 16 by the sun pie process of walking into Pregreasive headquarters and asking for a job ilt- got It and soon after was made the nolonel's private secretary. Colone, Roosevelt likes aggressive men around him. \That young man looks as if he bad the punch.\ he said of Martin How Martin proved the soundness of the colonel's judgment is a matter of history. Leader of the Montenegrins. The early successes of the Monte- negrin forces against the Turkish troops foreshadow the difficulties of the task that confronts the Ottoman empire In facing the Balkan uprising While the peace agreement with Italy strengthens Turkey's position. It is generally believed that the quarrel with the Balkan coalition murn be fought to a finish. As fighters so far the Montenegrins have upheld their warlike reputation. While few in numbers. their Inborn hatred of the Turks makes them formidable ene- miert. From boyhood the men are trained to war.
