THANKSGIVING
On September 6. 1620, 102 Puritans, 74 men and 28
women, sailed in the Mayflower, from Plymouth, En
gland, for what is now the United States of America,
landing on Plymouth Rock. There, on Decembei -■>, 10-0,
they founded a colony which became the germ ot the na
tion we boast today. This was the first of what has de
veloped into a series of traditions which constitute the
soul of the nation. The second was when, in 1621, in tok
en of profound gratitude for deliverance from religious
persecution and progress accomplished by these fathers
and mothers of the greatest commonwealth on earth,
they established Thanksgiving Day. It became inter
woven into the fabric of spiritual and material piogiess
like a band of steel supporting the framework of what
was to become the finished national edifice. Washington,
the great architect of our political traditions, blended
then/ into the spiritual warp and woof by annually rec
ognizing the day as one in which to offer up thanks to
God for his bounty, during the progress of the Ameri
can Revolution. In 1879, after the adoption of the Con
stitution, it became firmly fixed as one of our annual
festivals. In 1863 Congress set the last Thursdayjn Nov
ember as Thanksgiving Day throughout the nation.
Possibly nowhere in American possessions can be
found an analogy equal to that of Alaska and the Pil
grim Fathers. And especially is this true of Seward,
where pious Russians, inspired with the same visions
and same courage, kneal-t upon the pebbly beach, fring
ing the untracked wilderness stretching away into the
Arctic, and offered up thanks, repledging their allegiance
to spiritual consciousness by naming what is now its
magnificent harbor Resurrection Bay.
Thus, even the most unyielding materialist is wafted
back to the spiritual genesis of the nation and finds
Thanksgiving Day one which reawakens a deep cons
ciousness of its value as a tradition.
Like the Pilgrim Fathers and Mothers, who wrest
ed a nation from the bleak wilderness along the Atlantic
coast at latitude 42, the Alaskan Fathers and Mothers
hewed a growing nation from the then bleak shores of
latitude 60 in the North Pacific.
It is when we glance about us and observe the fruits
of that pioneer labor, sacrifice and courage that we are
inspired with the true significance of Thanksgiving
Day and its relation to our spiritual and material pro
gress.
As we gather about the festive board tomorrow,
spread amidst the fruits of modern invention, with
comforts those who w^nt before had never known, we
cannot help but feel that the spirits of this army of na
tion builders hover near to give to the day of Thanks
giving its full significance and fill our hearts with grat
itude for the many good things that are ours.
Voters have about finished their fall canning.

send us your specifications
we do the rest.

ers, deep sea divers who aban
doned their attempt last sum
mer on account of poor visibility.
They said the silt from the
Taku river caused muddy water j
and they predict winter weather
to be more favorable for opera
tions as glaciers are inactive and
there will not as much silt.
There will be 10 men in their
crew including divers.
The Admiral Rogers, Capt. Ein
ar Thomsen, commander, of the
Pacific Steamship Co., arrived in
port last night from the south
| and following setting ashore of
I passengers and the discharging

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov., 26, CP)—
Fanned by a stiff wind, a forest fire
with a' front estimated at )from
eight to 10 miles, is sweeping down
on the San Mateo coast line, near
the town of Miramar, with evident
ly no means of checking the onrush
of the flames.
From 250 to 300 men conscripted
from the streets and highways of
the peninsula, were engaged in the
struggle to save the seaside com
munity of 1000 persons.
WASHINGTON, Nov., 27. CP)
Forecasts Saturday by the Weath
er Bureau were to the effect that
the rising temperature foretold
the end of the unseasonable cold
'wave which for two days covered
; half the nation with freezing
| weather. Snow continued in many
sections but the Washington bur
eau announced the disturbance
'extended from Florida to Cape
Hatteras and was moving north
eastward.
This is taken it will swing out
i to sea, missing New York, which
^hus far has suffered little from
the cold wave.
