LET US GIVE THANKS
Ot all the holidays generally observed in this country, perhaps |
the most typically American is Thanksgiving day. It is a day of feast
ing and rejoicing, of family reunions and social hilarity. To the exiles
in the Northland on this day will come memories of celebrations “back
home,” together with visions of home folks and home assoc.at.ons, of
“turkey an’ tixin’s,” of mince pie and rosy-cheeked apples, and of all
the good things with which bounteous Nature has endow cd a favored
country. Tire spirit of thankfulness for blessings received will per-1
meate all stratas of society, and even the poor and unfortunate will, |
through the charity evoked by the season, be given occasion to offer up
their meed of praise to the Supreme Being.
Originating as a day of thanksgiving for special causes—victory |
in war, deliverance from pestilence, bountiful harvests and so forth—
it has become a day of general thanksgiving to God.
We of Alaska may consistently join with the people of the agri
cultural states in celebrating this holiday in the way recommended in
the President’s proclamation. It is meet and right that we should give
thanks, among other things, for the privilege of living in this favored
portion of God's footstool—a land of opportunity, of plentiful natural;
resources awaiting man’s strength, industry and ingenuity in utilizing ;
them, and above all, that our lot is cast among a people who are a
living illustration of the brotherhood of man.

USE OF PEAT FOR FUEL IN ALASKA
—
In a country like Alaska, where fuel is costly, it seems strange !
that no serious effort has been made to utilize the extensive peat beds
of the territory. No estimate has ever been made of the area of these j
deposits, although it may be truthfully said that the whole of the ,
northwestern portion of Alaska is one vast peat bed. In this section
there is an excellent quality available, and at a comparatively small j
expense the fuel could be supplied at a reasonable price. A recent
visitor to Iditarod, a man experienced in steam engineering and m j
dredging operation, stated that were he engaged in mining m this i
region he would use peat for fuel. He was well versed m the relative |
values of coal, wood and peat as fuel, and seemed surprised that it
was not in use here.
Peat is prepared and used as: Cut peat, machine peat or pressed
peat, peat powder, briquetted peat, peat coke or charcoal, and peat
gas. Peat gas is a better fuel than the best grades of bituminous coal
burned under steam boilers of the ordinary type. Under test condi
tions in Europe, where more than 10,000,000 tons are prepared and
used annually for fuel, a ton of peat has been found to be worth about
five-ninths of a ton of good coal. The peat does not clinker or give
off any volatile matter in the form of black smoke; it burns up com
pletely, leaving only a powdery, light ash, which is small in bulk com
pared with the original fuel. It makes a good fuel bed in the furnace
and burns with a long, bright, clear flame, without smoke or sulphur
ous gases, so that neither flues, grates nor boiler plates are corroded :
or clogged. Tests were made of peat fuel at St. Michael a few years
ago by Lieuutenant Philip Remington, with very satisfactory results.
That the peat deposits of Alaska will undoubtedly be utilized
sooner or later is indicated by the fact that at Cleveland, Ohio, where
coal is comparatively cheap, a company has been organized with a
capital of $500,000 for the purpose of manufacturing gas and its by
products from peat. It has already acquired 144 acres of land near
Hartville, on the Wheeling & Lake Erie railroad, to serve as a site for
a manufactory and to supply peat needed in the operation of the
plant.
“Thousands of acres of high-grade peat south of Cleveland are
going to waste, and this peat we will utilize in making our products,”
said Mr. Bartholomew, a director of the company. “The plant at first
will reduce 50 tons of peat a day. The peat will furnish from 19,000
to 30,000 cubic feet of gas to the ton besides by-products.”
The process of reducing or refining the peat is one which G. A. j

Bartholomew of Cleveland and E. Bartholomew of Toledo worked on j
for ten years. They finally formed the syndicate, m which Cleveland, j
Canton and loledo men are interested. G. A. Bartholomew, the in- j
ventor, said that the gas from the peat can be liquified and sold as I
gasoline at 10 cents a gallon with profit.
On September 24 the Seattle assay office had the largest day's
gold receipts of the season, when $401,000 of Alaska gold dust was
handled. Of this amount, $319,000 came from the Nome district,;
the remainder coming from the iditarod, Koyokuk and Fairbanks dis
tricts. Since the government removed the charge of 1J/2 Per cent
formerly made at the Seattle office, the receipts have shown a marked
increase. Since July 1, this year, the receipts have amounted to
$4,463,000, against $1,934,000 for the corresponding period of
1912, an increase for this season of $2,529,000. This is considered
phenomenal in view of the drought in the North, which seriously ham-j
pered sluicing operations in the most productive of the northern fields.
Much of the Alaska gold which went direct to the mint at San Fran
cisco before the I'/i per cent assay charge was removed is now going
to Seattle, assay office officials say._
A man in Seattle was recently granted a divorce on the grounds
of cruelty. He testified that his wife on one occasion threw a cut
glass pitcher at him, cutting his head so that it was necessary to take
stitches. He said she would get into tantrums, but that there was “lots
of good in her, and he wanted her to have the children and sufficient
alimony.” Surely a most considerate chap, and deserving of better
matrimonial luck.
THANKSGIVING DAY
(Contributed)
All! on Thanksgiving uay, when From East
and From West,
Emm North and South, come the pilgrim
guest,
What moistens tIre lips and brightens the
What calls hack the past like the rich
pumpkin pie? —Whittier.
A thanksgiving day of some sort is doubt- !
less coeval with the earliest days of crea
tion, when Adam, in recovering from his
great shock at the conduct of Eve, had so
much reason to be thankful that it was no
worse, but the Thanksgiving day, as it is
known in the United States, must date its
inception from the early part of the sev
enteenth century, and its birth and bloom
from Lincoln's proclamation of 1803.
One newspaper writer, in speaking of the
origin of Thanksgiving day, says:
“It was not at that time intended to be
an annual feast, nor was it supposed to bp
an occasion for general merry-making. It
was rather a day appointed for entirely
religiouos purposes, in order to give the
settlers at Plymouth an opportunity to ex
press their heartfelt gratitude for the per
ils they had passed and for the bounties
they were then enjoying.
“They had escaped from the persecu
tions of the English church and had been
permitted to settle down and make a new
home for themselves far from the foe who
had made their lives such a burden.
“They were now, for the first time, al
lowed to worship God in their own way
and according to their own consciences.
They had had their first year in what w'as
to them a wilderness. It had been a long
and a hard one; they were surrounded by
savages, with whom they were, fortunately,
at peace; their fields had yielded them
enough grain to support them in comfort
during the coming winter, and their houses
were built warmly and strong.
“Therefore, with the religious fervor
which had prompted them to such sacri
fices. they considered it fitting that they
shou d return to God some thanks for what
hey con.-idered His many blessings. j
“Acc^iwJiglj Governor Bradford, in the ,
autumn of 1G21, set aside the day to mark
the beginning of a season of prayer and
gratitude. In that first celebration the
cerenu nies extended over several days. In
fact, it \vd' much like the harvest festivals
that are still he hi in the country districts of
many lands.
“Two years later, after a severe drought,
rain came in answer to their prayers, and
another day of thanksgiving was held. Then
again, three years later, when help arrived in
the nick of time from England, a day was
appe inter! to mark their gratitude, and after
that the custom seems to have been recog
nized annually.”
The present writer is much inclined to
think that there are at least a couple of
errors in the above, although it is possible
that a day has been observed annually in
the state of Massachusetts. Unfortunately,
authentic books of reference are not too
many, nor very handy, and many which
are within reach show that one authority
copied after another without any attempt
at verification from original sources.
The date of 1621 is one of the things
which authorities clearly have copied one j
from the other, and while it is undoubtedly ;
correct in a way, it is ignored by the high
est general authority. Save some historian
who delves after that certain specific point,
there is no authority so high as C. E. Lit
tle, in his Dictionary of Dates, and it gives
the first Thanksgiving day as February 22,
1630, “because of arrival of ship from Eng
land with provisions.”
This day would seem to tally with the
last mentioned day from the newspaper
writer above quoted, but would fix the day
some four years later.
The Pilgrim Fathers gave thanks on
September 6, 16 ±5, for the cessation of In
dian hostilities.
The next date of thanksgiving which was
historically important enough to get into >
the books was November 26, 1758, “be- j
cause the French are driven out of Fort
Duquesne and the valley of the Ohio and ■
the great West are opened for the advance- j
ment of English settlers.” This was not on
a Thursday, but was the fourth Sunday of
he month.

THE IMPOSSIBLE
My well had sort o’ lost its grip, the water smelled like paint; and every time
I took a sip it nearly made me faint. I asked Jim Wax to fix the same, and of
fered him the mon (repairing cisterns is his game); he said: “It can’t be done.”
He had a hundred reasons why repairs could not be made; and w'hile three hours
were dragging by those reasons he displayed. A gorgeous web of sophistry and
argument he spun, all ending with the stern decree, “It simply can’t be done,” And
then Bill Bulger bowled along; I stopped him at my gate, and told him that my
well was wrong, and would he make it straight? Bill Buiger squinted down the
well, and asked when it was built, and said it had an ancient smell that nis.de his
whiskers wilt. “Your blamed old well needs cleaning out,” he said, with genial
laugh; “I reckon it will cost about two dollars and a half.” “Go to it, then, my
friend,” said I, “and you shall have the mon; I’m glad you do not tell me why
the derned job can’t be done." Bill Bulger always has a job; he earns the shining
dimes; and I have never heard him sob a bit about hard times. Around Jim Wax
dark troubles lurk; he’s the afflicted one; he’s always up against some work that
simply can’t be done. Wait Mason.
HOW A MINE IS WORKED
"1 wish you would tell me all about the way men get gold and silver out of
a mine, my dear," said a lady in East Laramie the other evening to her husband,
as he peeled off his coat and sat down in three chairs for the evening. "I hear
ycu talk with your friends so much about mining, and I am not able to understand
it, or converse with people intelligibly about it."
“Well, what kind of mining do you want to hear about gold or silver, quartz
or placer, deposit or defined lead?”
“Well, all of them briefly. I want to know whether they scrape off the gold
from the under side of the ground, and wash the dirt off in the creek, or how is it
“Well, they don’t scrape it off the under side of the ground, exactly. There
ycu are in error. In placer mining they have to collect the dust and pan it out
with a gold pan.”
“Oh! they have to use a gold pan, do they? That must be what makes min
ing so expensive. Does the pan have to be solid gold :
"No. It isn’t made of gold. It is simply to pail gold; hence the name. In
quartz mining the prospector first finds the lloat, and tracing it to the lead, he
digs for the purpose of ascertaining how extensive it is, and what it will assay.
"Oh. that is it. I thought they first bored into the ground with a paystreak
until they found the shaft, and then they drifted for the assessment, and when
they found that, they just put a blast in the indications and salted the clump. Now
it seems that ycu don’t do that way. You fellow up the micacious s.late till you
strike the bias fold. Then you see if you can find a color that matches with the
copper-stained trilboites, that you prospect and you
“No, 1 must stop you there. You are getting a little off the vein. \ ou [.reli
ably have the right idea, but you are using terms that are not correct. After tb-y
get the wall rock on the dump and pinch out the night shift, they salt the contact
and blast the vertical chilblain. Then they drift for the blossom rock, baled hay
and poverty until they strike the varicose vein. After that it is a short job to put
on the bias folds and sample the stockholders. When the bituminous duj lex bisects
the brocaded porphyry and scallops the gouge with cross-eyed shirrmgs and bi
carbonate of bilious colic interlaced with moire antique wads of gray copper an 1
free milling erysipelas. This is not always the case, however, for indirectly or n
verselv. perhaps more, or sometimes less, as the case may lie, and still we might
or might not, according to whether we did or not, but also besides, if not always,
as already described, perhaps, yet I wouldn’t be positive of anything which might
be doubtful.”
Then he laughed a cold, hard laugh, and went to bed. If husbands would al
ways explain these things to their wives, how much pleasanter our homes would be.

mg annually during the revolution, and in
1784 for the return of peace--as did Presi
dent Madison in 1815. Washington ap
j pointed sucdi a day in 1789, and the Epis
copal church formally recognized the civil
government's authority to appoint such a
I least. The Roman Caihoiic church, which
I deals so largely in holidays, did not recog
j nize the right of the civil government to
go into the feast-day business until 1888.
Canada got into the swim, though just
why is not laid down in the text, in 1890,
by ’ proclaiming the first Thursday, being I
the sixth day of the month of November,
| as a day of thanksgiving.
Since 1S17 the festival has been observed ,
annually in the state of New York. The
southern Confederacy held their Thanksgiv
ing on the 18th of September, 1862. while ,
still feeling good from the battles cf Ma
n ass as, which they won, and various other
battles which should have been fougtu— 1
and were not.
To celebrate Union victories Lincoln pro
claimed August 31, 1864, as a day of
thanksgiving, and the second day of 1865 j
was observed as a day of national thanks- ;
t .iving for peace.
j Most of the authorities agree in saying 1
that since 1863 the presidents have always j
issued proclamations appointing the last ;
Thursday of November as Thanksgiving ;
day. One writer says it is "the fourth ;
Thursday of November.”
The present writer’s memory runs back j
of 1863, but, of course, not as to such de- j
tails as the exact day of Thanksgiving, but
from memory he is quite sure that it did
not become an established precedent to
name a late Thursday in November until
several years later than 1863—3ay nearer
1873.
It may be that in 1864 the country cele
brated both August 31 anad some day in
November; but it is a reasonable certainty
that there were not observed two days in j
November of 1865—the second of the j
month and the last Thursday, which was j
the last day of the month. Seven times
within the last forty-eight years he “last
Thursday” of November has been the last j
day of the month, and six times within j
that period the “last” Thursday of Novem- j
her has been the next to the last day of I
the month, and, of course, in all these thir- J
teen cases this “last” Thursday has been :
the fifth and not the fourth Thursday; but
the writer cheerfully acknowledges that he
cannot say with any degree of certainty as
to whether in these years Thanksgiving was
celebrated on the “fourth” or on the “last”
Thursday. However, for this year it does
not matter—both the “fourth” aud the
“last” are right—Thursday, November 27,
1913.
Previous to the adoption of the 1913
laws of the Alaska legislature, Thanksgiv
ing day appears to have been a non-judi
cial day, but not a legal holiday, or at
least that is the way the code reads. The
code says: “No court can be opened,” etc.,
“on a Sunday, on a legal holiday, or on a
day appointed by the executive authority
of the United States or of the district as a
day of fasting or thanksgiving.
Thanksgiving, when proclaimed by the
President, is, of course, a holiday for fed
eral officials, but not thereby a holiday for
the territory at large. Since the 26th day
of June, 1913, the day has been a full
fledged holiday for the eutire territory' and
for everybody in it.
Originally as much a day of thanksgiv
1 ing for perils escaped as for blessings re
1 ceived, it was celebrated at first as often
| by fasting as by feasting, but now it is
[ generally recognized as a good day for fam
j i!y reunions and merrymaking, tempered by
! a feeling of thanksgiving for mercies re- j
j ceived.

ALASKA RAILROAD BILLS
CREATE DISSENSION
Washington, Oct. 15. Now that Senator
| Chamberlain has made his Alaska railroad ,
bill the unfinished business of the senate for j
December S, Pacific coast members are j
i studying the probable advantage their re- j
I spective states can gain from the opening j
1 of the territory. Most of them will vote |
j for the bill in the expectation of getting
coal from Alaska to the coast states cheaply
enough to promote manufacturing.
In all probability some of the Progres
! sives will support Senator Poindexter’s
Alaska bid as a substitute for the Cham
berlain measure. The Poindexter bill pro
vides not merely for a government-owned
I railway, but for public ownership and
i operation of all public utilities in Alaska.
; He proposes that the coal be mined by the
I government and shipped in government ves- ]
I scls to Washington, Oregon and California, |
(to be sold in the open market. Carrying f
j the Progressive slogan of ‘'social justice”
into definite terms, he prescribes in the bill
that all employes in these enterprises shall
be given the highest standard of working
conditions, hours and wages, with the fur
| ther reward of a profit-sharing scheme.
The fight over Poindexter’s substitute will
I bs warm. It is expected to split the Demo
cratic forces. It will perhaps lead to the
adoption of a compromise plan which shall
at least give the coast states a government
operated line to Alaska, to connect with the
federal railroad.
