ILES CASE
IS SETTLED
A. W., L. & T. Company Pay for
Tools Taken Inadvertently
When Plant Was Moved.
The lies eases against, the Alaska
Water, Light & Telephone company
in the district court were shortened
today by settlement of the action for
conversion of personal property. The
defendant paid Mrs. lies flOO for
chattels admitted to have been tak
en by inadvertence and this was ac
cepted in full settlement.
In the action of trespass on the
lies mining claims, E. E. Ritchie, rep
resenting Mrs. lies, stipulated in op
en court to waive all claim for dam
ages except nominal damages, which
means one dollar If plaintiff prevails,
and the action will be tried simply
on the issue of whether a trespass
has been committed, and on the right
of plaintiff to have the alleged tres
pass declared a nuisance and abated.
This afternoon demurrers by plain
tiff to a part of the answers filed by
the defendant company in two cases
is being argued. By these demurrers
plaintiff seeks to have the attack of
the defendant on the validity of the
lies mining claims eliminated from
the case on the ground that the ques
tion is one for the land office, where
the matter is now pending.

A PROCLAMATION.
The observance of a day of thanks
giving by the people of this nation
has been an annual custom, having
its beginning in the days of the Pil
grim fathers, who thus early in the
history of our country set apart a
day for the giving of thanks to Al
mighty God for mercies vouchsafed
and blessings bestowed upon them as
strangers in a strange land. As such
it has been again recognized by the
President of the United States, and,
in accordance therewith, I, J. F. A.
Strong, governor of the Territory of
Alaska, do appoint Thursday, the
twenty-seventh day of November,
nineteen hundred and thirteen, a day
of thanksgiving.
And I recommend that upon that
day the people of Alaska do refrain
as far as may be possible from labor
and unite in returning thanks to the
Giver of all good things for the
bless'ngs bestowed and fhe favors re
ceived at His nands; for the peace
that pervades the nation: for the
prosperity that it enjoys: for the pro
gress that the people of Alaska have
made in the development of the boun
tiful resources of the territory, and >
for Lhe promise which the future af- j
fords for the upbuilding of a mighty j
commonwealth where life, liberty and :
the pursuit of happiness shall be j
fully assured to all. And while giv- ;
ing thanks for the blessings we en- !
joy, let us not be unmindful of those
who may be less fortunate in life and
rememb r that all are bound by the |
ties of a common brotherhood.
Given under my hand and the Seal
of Alaska, in Juneau, the capital, this ,
fifth day of November, in the year j
of our Lord, one tnousand nine hun
dr d and thirteen, and of the inde
pend nee of th United States of
America, the one hundred and thirty
eighth.
