The sudden death of Henry
George removes from the NUM-
cipal campaign of Greater New
York a most conspicuous figure
and one whose canvass has at
tracted the attention of the entire
country. The sudden taking off
of Mr.. George was no doubt the
result of overwork on the hust-
ings, which brought on a fatal
stroke of apoplexy. Death hav-
ing thus abruptly ended his
candidacy almost on the eve of
election, it will be interesting to
note what will become of his
forces, who up to his death num-
bered between $4,000 and 1O0,-
900 voters.

The first Thanksgiving was
appointed by Governor Bradford
at Plymouth, Mass, in 1921, the
year following the landing of the
Pilgrims, in order that the Col
onists in a more special way
could rejoice together at having
all things in good and plenty,
writes Clifford Howard in the
November Ladies' Home Journal.
In preparation for the feast
"gunners were sent into the
woods for wild turkeys, which
abounded there in great numb
ers; kitchens were made ready
for preparing the feast-espec-
tally the large one in Dame
Brewster's house, which was
under the immediate direction
and in charge of Priscilla Molin-
es (she afterward became the
wife of John Alden), while a
messenger was dispatched to in
vite Massasoit, the chief of the
friendly tribe, to attend the cell
ebration. Early on the morn
ing of the appointed Thursday
about the first of November
Massasoit and about ninety of
his warriors arrived on the out
skirts of the village, and with
yells announced their readiness
to enjoy the hospitality of their
white brethren. The little set
Element, which now consists of
seven dwellings, was soon astir
with men, women and children,
who gave the Indians hearty
welcome as they filed into the
large square in front of the gov
ernor's house. Soon the roll of
a drum announced the hour of
prayer, for no day was begun
without this religious service.
Then followed a holiday holi-
day of feasting and recreation.
which continued not only that
day but during the two succeed
ing days"

The Rev. John Adams, New
Milford, ILL.,, says Postal
savings banks, in my opinion,
would be a particularly good
thing for the country places.
Take my own town, for instance
New Milford. We are six miles
from Rockford, where there are
savings banks. but our working
people cannot afford to take the
time to go there, and consequent
ly have no other place than an
old stocking or the chimney to
put their little savings. When
these people are saving any
money it is particularly neces-
sary that they should have a
perfectly safe depository and
this would be afforded by the
government postal savings
banks. Chicago Record.

The ChIIcoot Pass.
(Salt Lake Tribune.)

no, WHO 10 Ou Ills way w OhS
Klondike country, writes under
the date of October 9th, that he
has reached the Chilcoot pass,
and describes the conditions as
they exist today.
He is one of the 20passengers
who lost $780, through the
crookedness of one of the Sound
transportation and trading COM
panies, and who were detected
from their original route via. st.
Michaels and returned to Vic
toria to go in by the Skaguay
route.
At Skaguay the passengers
ard freight for Skaguay are
transferred by lighter to shore
during high tide, and when the
tide recedes the freight is taken
away by wagon.
Three wharves are now being
built at this point to facilitate
matters. A tug then takes the
steamer on up to Taiia during
high tide, where the same mode
is again pursued. Taiia has one
store and one saloon, postoffice
and twenty or thirty log huts,
and is located about a mile from
tidewater, but the newcomers
are building half a mile further
back, and over 100 buildings are
occupied by those who will win
ter there.
The Chilcoot river is described
as small stream, the first ten
miles having several channels in
most places and too deep for gum
boots, while the valley is covered
with a heavy growth of timber.
From here the trail winds up the
side of the mountain, which is
very rocky and has covering of
leaves and silt which when
trampled by horses and wet by
the almost continual rain, makes
a black muck a foot deep and
hard to travel through. Soon
Sheep Camp is reached, and the
place has one small store, hotel
and fifty tents. From here the
trail is over the heaviest kind of
road, being washed boulders and
slabs of broken rock, with occas-
ional places of mud and roots.
Within three-fourths of a mile
of the summit are 1.-THE scales, -
or where freight is weighed.
Then comes the climb of 1900
feet, which is so steep that sleds
cannot be hauled upit, and every
thing is packed over by man, as
up stairway. Twenty-four dol
lars a ton is charged for trans
porting goods over the hill.
There is no ice on the lakes
yet, but snow is in drifts ten feet
deep. The stream is fed by the
melting of the glaciers, and the
occasional rains cause them to
fiuctuate. The glaciers are des-
cribed as hundreds of miles in
extent and several hundred feet
thick of solid ice of a blue cast,
and the suns rays has no seem
ing effect on them.
AS the snow hardens one horse
can move as much freight as
three can pack, and one man can
haul as much as two horses can
pack. With the rush, men have
made as high as 500 to $50 day
packing over the hill and down
to the lake. Six cents per pound
over the hill from the scales and
300 yards down to Carter lake,
cent across Carter lake in boat,
cents to Long lake, / cent across
Long lake in boat, and 8 cents to
Lake Linderman. So most men
pack their own supplies. Horses
are taken up without loaes for
use on the other side.
Men are now packing a wire
rope to build a tramway from be-
low the scales over the hill, and
it will be run by electricity.
A distance of eighty miles
along the Chilkoot and one other
stream, brings one out beyond
