THANKSGIVING DAY
Atxi Anur-day is Thanksgiving day, and
apparently there will be no public recogni
tion of the holiday in this city. Flat City
will celebrate with u dance, which probably
will draw a big crowd, as the trails arc ex
pected to be in good condition for travel.
The day will not be allowed (o pass un
noticed, however, by Iditarod citizens, and
there will be the usual turkey dinners to
get her with the ’'trimmings." if B surprising
to learn the number of tradition. .1 Thanks
giving eatables which are on display by local
merchants, and outside of the fact that
some of them are of the canned variety,
as good an assortment is procurable here
. - in th .>o sections ;.f the Outside which,
have the advantage of being near the base
. ! supplies.

Frosi Disaster Which Overtook
Little Trading Schooner
Captain Knatsvich of the sehooner Bernier ,
; Brothers. which was frozen in at Bethel, on
; ;he Kuskokwim river, an 1 who arrived in
I'lat City last week, received confirmation
by telegraph on Saturday last of the loss
of the schooner Abler, belonging to the same
' firm which operates the Bender Brothers
and the Ruby. According to Captain Knats
v. !,’> advice' 1 he schooner w as burned out
. ide .Juneau on September o<) last and was
a total I >ss. The cargo, which was a valu
able one. was insured, but there \\ ;s no m
| surance rn the vr-a 1.
Captain Knatsvich aKo states thu Karl
T /:ir-1 and lb b Boyd, both v ■ It known in
Iditarod, were on board the Abler, together
with 125 tons of merchandise winch ‘hey
1 were taking to Reindeer ity, the new ’own
j oil Canyon creek, in the Inver Kuskokwim
’ country.
Karl Thiel up to a year ago conducted a
general merchandise store at Discovery.
Otter creek, and 1‘ft for the Outride last*
-. or. !>. !•> Eryb : - a hr (her of T in Boyd,
'hr t;:Mil eyr« ier, and himself earned mail

Another piece of interesting information
brought by Captain Knaisvich was that
Dominick Sur -i. formerly of this city, and
who has some mining ground on Bear creek.,
in the Kuskokwim country, was also a pa
-engt r on 'he Abler whm .-he met with mi -
fortune. lie was taking jifteen tons of pro
visions to Bear creek. Mr. Soro.-i was ac
companied by a bride.
It jv understood that the persons ns- n
tinned returned to .'•‘eatije to purchase more
goods, iii the hope ; f reaching the Ku4n>

I is hardly iiktly that they succeeded.

CIS SCHULER’S CABIN
PRACTICALLY DESTROYED
On returning to his cabin last Sniur-uy
afternoon after cn ib:e:icc of but a few
minutes. Grs Schuler discovered it to be
a n:a-s of Ilium-. Owing to the distance
ft m :. t*k*phoim and the difficulty in mak
ing his shout< la rd. some time was 1 >-t
•before an alarm could be turned in. but
i a remarkably short time after the siren
at thr- fire ?rati< n was sounded the chemi
cals from ike station and from the N. C. Co.
were on the way. and scores of citizens
rushed to the scene with hand fire extin
gui.-hers. The tire had gained such head
way. however, that while the cabin and iN
; contents were not wholly consumed, they
were practically ruined by the flames, smoke
and chemicals.
Gus had considerable difficulty in saving
his two fine dogs, which were in the cabin
at the time, an t which could not be in
duced to leave the burning structure. They
were finally rescued, but one of them was
amost suffocated.
There was no wind at the time, and the
isolated position of the cabin precluded the
danger of the fire sj reading.
HURST AND WHITE LEAVE

Earjv on Tuesday morning last Charles
Hurst and Clarence White left with dogs
and outfit for Bear creek, in the Kusko

he will find out for certain this winter
whether the claims contain a pay streak.
SCANDINAVIAN DIVORCE LAW
SIMPLE AND CONVENIENT
In Scandinavia divorce by mutual consent
is the recognized iaw. ? Any husband and
wife may reach this agreemnt when either
has violated any marital obligation. The
law, you see, does not require them to wait
until one has wronged the other. But when
they have reached the point where they two
know that their real union is ended they
may secure a divorce for the asking. It
doesn't cost anything. There is not even a ;
lawyer needed. The process is simple. ^ on :
notify a magistrate that you are separating.
You are not required to go into details.
You don’t have to spread your marital 1
troubles on court records and newspaper .
pages. (Due reason is as sufficient here as :
when you entered into matrimony. You
simply state that you no longer wish to !
continue th-* marriage. Then one party t * j
the contract goes away fur a year in lin
hnd, if is only for three months. At i’n
end of the period the magistrate hands you .
the papers tint dissolve the marriage as j
quietly as it was made.
If. as rarely happens, mutual consent
through the refusal of one of the contract !
ing parties cannot be secured, the prove?- ■
is a IiftJ• * longer, the probationary pejiod of!
one year being extended to two. But there
is always n way out. Sweden hno J.\—;
i than twelve grounds fur divorce. it is ac
! compli.-'hed i" as dignified a way as :.ny
| other partnership might be di-solved. And
j when it is t.jl over there- is no disgrace;
• necessarily i .nnected with it. There may
| he, of course, the question < f children -what
< i.-positr n full be utade of them is deciued
by the c-urt. But then there i- a consulta
tion with the parents, wh - • reasonable i
; wishes are r -peeled. What il <y may have
I decided bet we n themselves as to which i>
: to have th? ehi! Iren the magistrate is quite
, I kt!y to agree to, though, to be sure, if
there is guilt on either side the custody of
, the children is awarded to the parent c m*
1 bh* i f or .'lain ; them up to the truest man
1 hood rr w ..manhood, ffictorhd I’eview.
BATING NAPOLEON
I ——— -
If war may have its amenities, peace
■ may \ ave its asperities. The signers of the
peace of Amiens stopped fighting only the

FOR COUNTRY’S SAKE
If Uncle Jim should lose his voice.
I honestly believe
That thousands who today rejoice
I Would soon begin to grieve.
Jyhcn questions < f the hour embroil
Our intellects profound.
The speech he makes is just like oil
Upon the waves of sound.
He talks much louder than them all
And never needs a rest.
He lifts his voice at duty’s call
And warbles by request.
Croat navies may not be our choice
And armies may seem rash.
But Uncle Jim—without his voice
Our land 'd go to smash!
