THANKSGIVING
M KLUCKWAN
(Special Correspondence.)
KLUCKWAN, Nov. 29.? Kluckwan
is somewhat isolated, but that does
not prevent its people having a
proper appreciation of holidays foi
Thanksgiving was celebrated In very
proper fashion. There wore two din
ners. one of them given by Doc Wat
son, engineer of the Road commis
sion and his assistant, Ted Murdock.
and the other by Chief Koo-da-na-ha
of the Chilcata. The first of the two
was prepared by Watson and Mur
dock themselves and their gui-sts
were Mr. and Mrs. Falconer, Miss
Nellie M. Taylor, Misses Jean and
Vera Falconer and Master Robert
Falconer. Bill Leslie was to have
been one of the entertainers here
but did not put in an appearance.
Immediately following the dinner
the guests departed to the home of
Chief Koo-da-na-ha where a dinner
was given in honor' of Doc Watson.
Assembled around two large tables
in the spacious dining room were the
guests with Watson at the head of
the table. Here the white people
learned a lesson of true hospitality
and thanksgiving. Seating the guests
Mrs. Koo-da-na-ha opened the festivi
ties with a prayer In the Russian
language, which was In turn trans
lated into the Thlinket by a native
and then Into English. Following
this was chanted the Lord's prayer in
the same languages. The natives
present then sang in their own
tongue, "Praise God From Whom
All Blessings Flow."
Mr. Falconer then was requested
to ask God's blessing upon the peo
ple present and also to give thanks
for the dinner about to be served.
After a very pretty prayer the dinner
was served and It was a real Thanks
giving dinner, too. ?
Everything was served in a good
modern style by native girls dressed
In white. The meal was served In
four courses and many were the sur
prises as the dainties were placed be
fore the guests in such pleasing
ways. Following the dinner speeches
were made and Chief Yi-el-coch
(Chief of the Chllcats), told of the
benefits the Road commission had
been to the people. He staled that
he felt It an honor to sit at the
same table with the white men and
it was truly a day for great thanks
giving.
Mr. Watson in a neat little speech
thanked the Chief and the people for
their good will and kindnesses to
him while among them and said that
he would ever retain many pleasant
recollections of his stay In Kluckwan.
Following closely upon these
speeches were talks by the natives
which wore translated into Knglish
and also speeches by Messrs Fal
coner and Murdock.
To fully appreciate the hospitali
ties of the natives of Kluckwan. One
must have the pleasure of attending
one of these social functions. The
writer wishes to state that the white
men present never were treated in a
more hospitable manner and the les
son learned In giving thanks, makes .
us all feel better for having had the
honor to dine with the Chief of the
Whales at Kluckwan. T. M.
