THANKSGIVING
According to proclamations b> Gov
ernor Scott C. Bone and President
Calvin Coolidge, tomorrow will ot
held by the American people as a day
of Thanksgiving and prayer, following
the custom inaugurated by the I d
grim Fathers in 1621. in acknowledg
ment of their first harvest. Its na
tional celebration in recognition ot the
year’s blessings, was first recommend
cd bN George Washington, in 17Sb.
hut it was not until October. 1863, that
it became a National holiday, by proc
lamation of Abraham Lincoln, who
named the last Thursday in November
as the day to render thanks tor oui
many blessings, and the day has since
been annually observed in all states
and Territories.
Seward has many things to return
thanks tor. We have had no pesti
lences or epidemics the past year, our
town has steadily advanced in popu
lation. times have been good, and we
have no cases of destitution. The
Grim Reaper has touched Seward
lightly the past year, and there is nc
resident of the town who will be tor
indisposed tomorrow to place his oi
her feet under the festal board anc
enjoy a plentilul meal.
For all of which we should returr
thanks, as our blessings have far out
numbered those ot most towns and
hamlets of Alaska.
GOVERNOR SCOTT C. BONE
Seward will be honored today with
the arrival of a party of distinguished
visitors, chiet of whom will be Gov
Scott C. Bone. Although holding of
fice but a little over three years, Gov
Bone has given Alaska one of the besi
and most progressive administrations
oi any executive we have yet had. His
broad grasp of necessary detail in the
upbuilding of the Territory, and his
unprejudiced work tor all sections o1
Alaska, have already borne fruit, thf
Territory having received more favor
able recognition from Washington
than in many years.
The Gateway may be prejudiced ir
Gov. Bone’s cause, but to our mind
he is the only governor Alaska has hac
whose vision has been broad enough
to encompass all-Alaska in his pro
gram for development. He has beer
the only executive who has stood or
a broad-gauge platform of progress
without regard to politics or political
patronage. With the exception of thf
Second division, which he has not yel
had the pleasure of visiting, he ha£
familiarized himself with conditions
overlooked by his predecessors. As s
newspaper man he is familiar with
approaching a problem from all sides
and, eschewing favoritism, going tc
the root of the matter. His receni
trip to Washington demonstrated thf
favor in wrhich he is held by the Na
tion’s highest officers. His plans foi
betterment were accepted in toto, anc
hearty co-operation of all department:
agreed upon.
These visits of the Governor wil
more firmly cement his friendship foi
the Northern divisions, and will resul
in great good to the sections visited
Our appreciation of the man is great
er than our appreciation of him as ai
official, for despite his high office
he is as approachable and as commoi
and when he was the idol of the boyi
in th<- Fust-Intelligencer. No mai
ever sought a favor from him an<
wa turned down, if his cause wa:
righ. and his need great.

RADIO IN WILDS CALLS
DOCTOR TO ASSIST STORK:
WINNIPEG. Nov. 27.—Radio wasj
recently responsible for medical aid
reaching a woman in a little log cabin
near the Rice Lake gold fields, when
the stork was due to arrive and medi
cal aid was urgently needed.
The only communication with the
outside world—a wireless set—was
used by the husband to send out anj
S. O. S. call which was picked up by I
Milwaukee and then Grand Forks, N.j
D., from where it was relayed to Win-j
nipeg. A doctor hastened to the home
amf the baby and mother are doing
nicely.
Deaths in Seward the past year have
been unusually few, while the stork'
must have a substitute on the job, soj
few have been the births. Too many!
bachelors and too many dances to
pay the old bird to stick around.
Seven pairs of native snowshoes are
being shipped out to Seattle parties]
by Brown & Hawkins who are local
jobbers tor the Tyonek shoe.
