PROCLAMATION
ISSUED BY THE
GOV. OF ALASKA
Gov. J. F. A. Strong has issued his
Thanksgiving proclamation and it
was received by the Gateway last
night from Juneau, by cable. The
proclamation is as follows:
“The President of the United States
following the national custom of more
than half a century, has designated
Thursday, November 29th, as a day
of thanksgiving and prayer. The
year now drawing to a close has been
fraught with momentous consequen
ces for this nation. We have entered |
the great war in behalf of those prill-,
eiples of liberty, freedom and demo-;
cracy, which have been so beneficient
in the life of our country, in this!
our government has been guided by
a supreme desire to make the world
a safe place for the exercise of those,
immutable principles of government j
which, under God, have placed the
United States in the front rank ol
civilization and progressive of na
tions. Our people are being called |
upon to make great personal sacri
fices and the demand for personal scr-j
vice and effort will largely increase
as time passes, but the spirit ot unity
and unfaltering purpose which aetu- j
ates them will lead to ultimate and,
triumphant victory;
“Now. therefore, 1, J. F. A. Strong,
Governor of the Territory ol Alaska, (
do hereby proclaim Thursday, the J
twenty-ninth day of November, as
Thanksgiving Day and while the peo-,
pie of this great republic are facing
tremenduous responsibilities and their
devotion to its institutions is being
put to the test and though sorrows j
manifold may visit us as a result ol
the war, it is most fitting that the
people of this Territory should give
thanks to Him ‘Who doeth all things'
well’ and blessed with plenty ourselves
let us unite in praise to Almighty God
for the many favors that have been
vouchsafed us as a people, while es-i
pecially remembering those nations
with whom our own is allied and
whose people are exhibiting supreme
devotion and making the greatest sa
crifices in this struggle for humanity
and civilization.
Given under my hand and the seal
of the Territory of Alaska, in Juneau,
the Capital, this twelfth day of Nov
ember, in the \ear of Our Lord, one
thousand nine hundred and seventeen
and of the Independence of the United
States the one hundred and forty sec
, ond.”
(Signed) GOV. J. F. A. STRONG,
Attest: CHARLES E. DAVIDSON,
Ex-ofiicio Secretary of Alaska.

A CHANCE PLEA
OF RICHAR DS
“Instead of the slogan, ‘Develop
Alaska,’ let the slogan be ‘Permit
Alaskans to Develop/ " was the blow
directed at conservationists by Prig.
Gen Wilds P. Richardson, former head
of the Alaska road commission, at the
complimentary luncheon tendered him
by the members of the Alaskt bureau
of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce
and Commercial Club in Seattle last
week.
Nearly 100 of Seattle's business and
professional men attended the lunch
eon. E. C. Hughes, chairman of the
executive committee of the bureau,
who presided, in introducing Gen.
Richardson, said that it was fitting
that a man who had done so much for
Alaska as Gen. Richardson should be
thus honored.
“Ordered to Washington, D. C., by
the war department lor active duty
there until given another assignment,
prehaps on the tiling line in Europe,”
said Mr. Hughes, “1 want to call your
attention to the great work done by
our guest during his twenty years j
service in the Northland where among j
his achievements may be found 2,000 j
miles of pioneer trail, 500 miles of j
wagon roads, some of them as scenic
as to be found anywhere in the world.
“We of the Northwest appreciate
his work, and that work and its cost
is truly an object lesson to the road
builders of America. It is certainly
a great record, and in bidding him
what 1 hope is only au revoir, those
of us who have sons enlisted know
that if they should be assigned to his
command, they will be well guarded.”
Gen. Richardson, when presented,
was loudly cheered, the entire gather
ing rising, and it was several minutes
before he could proceed.
“You do me a distinguished honor,
and 1 assure you 1 appreciate your j
kindness,” said Gen. Richardson, “und
while 1 have always tried to do my
duty, the work done in Alaska for
| which you give me credit was, alter
all, done by the war department,
which in times of peace does consider
! ably more than train soldiers.
“Besides, many have been associat-1
ed with me in the work done in Alas
ka. Without the war department and
these men who have been associated
with me, hardly a beginning could
have been made in the development of
the country.”
Speaking of the future of Alaska,
Gen. Richardson said that only a be
ginning had been made.
“And while I want to counsel con
servatism, I want to urge that instead
of the present slogan, ‘Develop Abts
ka/ the slogan, ‘Permit Alaska to de
velop/ be substituted, and encourage
ment be given capital in Alaska, for
it needs capital.
Gen. Richardson Complimentary
Gen. Richardson said that the Alas
kans were possessed of a wonderful
spirit; that its wealth is to he found
along its coast, where its fisheries are
inexhaustible .
“I may never again return to Alas
ka/1 said Gen. Richardson. “Besides,
building roads, perhaps in France, I
want to kill a few Germans, and if I
do return to Alaska, it will probably
be only as a visitor, but my interest
in that great land will never cease, I
c an promise you.
