It Is somewhat strange that in view of the fact that We have quite d num- erous floating population of prospect ors and miners. men thoroughly under- standing their business. that the island of Wrangel has been neglected by the searchers for the precious minerals. Parties leave our city and SCOUT the islands far and near. but do not seem to give second thought to this island. and why? The formation. d tilted slate upheava, is good. the ''country rock promising and the labor in prospecting light? The history of mining is full to repletion of great strikes made in tota fly unexpected places close to the haunts of men. Ogden. Cripple Creek, the Turon, Mount Brown and the great .JOnannesburg mines are q few instan ces.

COMPANY DINNERS DREADED
By Guests, and Keep the Hostess
in State of Anxiety.

Writing on Making Company
of Guests" Edward Box, in the
Decem ber Ladies' Home Journal,
considers ''it curious fact that
American housewives are 80 loath
to believe that dinner with fuss
and feathers is DIRE AIDED by the
vast majority of people. The
highest compliment we can pos
sibly show guest at dinner is to
let him partake of an ordinary
meal; to let him come quietly in
and be one of the family; yet this
is the very compliment which we
withhold from him. Instead of
giving a guest what he would re-
lish most we give him what he
really enjoys least. Let hostess
be ever SO graceful and tactful, let
there be years of practice on her
shoulders, yet nothing can conceal
from her guests that the dinner
which she is serving is other than
an unusual one. 1t is a formal
affair, and no amount of grace can
make anything else of it. For
nothing speaks SO loudly nor 30
unerringly as formal company
dinner. Every course shows it:
every movement of the waitress
proclaims it; every piece of China
fairly cries out the occasion. And
of course no one at the table really
enjoys it. The guest certainly
does not, because he knows he is
being made company of, and that
feeling is enough to offset every
enjoyment The hostess does not,
for she hasn't the time. Her eyes
are for the table and her servants;
not for her guest"

THANKSGIVING.

In accordance with a more or
less ancient custom, the president
of the United States has desig-
mated tomorrow as day of gener-
nj rejoicing and Thanksgiving, in
acknowledgment of the blessings
vouohsafed by Deity. 1t is beau
tiful custom, and one that should
be perpetuated in the same spirit
in which it was inaugurated by
the pilgrim fathers.
But in these days the general
tendency is to make Thanksgiving
day season of carousals and in
temperance of almost endless va
rieties.
This year, however, it would
seem especially fitting for the peo-
pie of this country to remem Der
the hands that guide the affairs of
men and nations, and that have
brought about an era of unusual
prosperity. 1t would be only a
natural act of gratitude for favors
received.
THE TRIBUNE feels that in these
generally favorable conditions it
has had a full share during the
past year The management has
labored earnestly and conscien-
tiously to bring the paper up to a
high standard of worth, both as an
advertising medium and as news
paper, and that such efforts were
not in vain is obvious. Therefore
we rejoice.

If the rumor be true that the
knights of Labor organization is
hereafter to take an active hand in
politics it may be that the political
leaders will be compelled to make
different arrangements. But is it
wise for any organization such as
the Knights of Labor to mix up
in politicsY Will not the organi-
zation be injured as body, made
up as it is by men representing all
shades of political belief? The
question is: was the. order created
as a political factor? The politi-
cal party which sells itself to this
or that or any other order, forgets
the object for which it was found
ed That political party which
encompasses within its plat
form and does the greatest good to
the greatest number, will, by the
very force of circumstances, carry
the people with it. Labor organi-
cations, as body, should study
long and ponder well the question,
before taking such a step,

November Weather.

Weather Observer Brandenburg
yesterday promised snowstorm
for Thanksgiving. That may be
all right for Denver, but there is
little indication that Florentines
will have relish of that kind with
their Thanksgiving turkey. Mr..
Brandenburg also states that never
before in the history of the weather
bureau Office has November been
such warm month. The only
day through the past five weeks
that the sun failed to appear was
on the 22d. Last year there was
snow on the ground nearly the en-
tire month, while this year there
has been but very slight precip-
itation, and the mean temperature
for the month has been six degrees
above normal.

The State Road.

Superintendent John Chetelat
and County missioner Henry
White, of Canon City, are in Flor
ence today on business connected
with the state road. 1t has been
decided to place a part of the ap-
preparation at this place, and work
will begin just west of town, prob
ably early next week.
After looking over the territory
east of town, these gentlemen are
very anxious that Third street be
opened up and continued to Mar
go Park, in order to avoid the long
detour and rough roads which
must be met at the present time
in going from Florence to the So
da springs. 1t is to be regretted
that Mr.. Gumaer is out of town
as there is little doubt that he
would at once agree to an arrange
ment of this kind Jas. A. Nc
Candless has already signified his
willingness to open up such of his
land as would be crossed by this
road.
Not only on account of the state
road would this be desirable ar
rangement, but those of our citi-
zens who enjoy riding or driving
to the Hot Springs would be pleas
ed with the contamination of the
project.

The Feast Will be Great.

key and sauce.

opeya House Friday Night ..zzz." "

Lovers of legitimate dramatic
entertainment have rich treat in
store for Friday night, when A. w.
Fremont assisted by strong COM
pany will present "777.' Mr.. A.
w. Fremont is an actor who has
won for himself national reputa-
tion, and he insists on first class
support. His company this season
is an especially strong one, artists
whose names are familiar to play
lovers. This strong company will
surely satisfy the demand usually
made by our citizens. If the peo-
Pile have had long siege of farci-
cal shows, then "777" will afford a
welcome rest and treat which will
long be remembered.
"777", from all accounts, is de-
serving of more than ordinary con-
sideration as it contains points of
interest calculated to captivate all
classes of theatre goers. 1t exhib-
its thrilling dramatic situations,
reveals dramatic surprises of a
subdued character, touches upon
society demands, and furnishes a
rich store of spontaneous wit
and humor, which do not conflict
with the unfolding of story of
unqualified human interest. At
the opera house, Friday night only.

The First National Thanksgiving

Forever be his name accursed
of men and his crime be the asso-
ciate of his memory" was the cry
of the people of the United States
upon the exposure of Benedict
Arnold, one hundred and nineteen
years ago. The story of his trea-
son is known by every American
and always will be known in the
years to come. The dead past can
not always bury its dead; the liv-
ing past sometimes christens them.
Following close on the revulsion
of feeling and universal contempt
expressed for Arnold came another
emotion none the less sincere and
genuine. 1t was gratitude to God
that He had saved the country.
Probably no event in American
history has produced such univer-
sal excitement. The feeling was
general that it was only by the in
tervention of providence that the
army was saved and the future of
this liberty-loving country made
secure. Men and women trembled
when they learned of the great dam
ger they had been in. They cursed
Arnold and they prayed fervently
and thankfully.
So great was the excitement and
so, intense was the feeling of graft
tude to God that congress appoint
ed the 7th day of December 17SO,
(eleven weeks after the capture of
Andree) as day of Thanksgiving
for the whole people. The states
followed the example of congress,
the governors setting aside the
same day as holiday for the OBJ
servance of the cause.
John Hancock was governor of
Massachusetts at this time and his
proclamation reflects the spirit of
the times, calling particular atten-
ton to "the remarkable interposi-
tion of His watchful providence in
rescuing the person of our com
mander in chief and the army from
imminent dangers, at the moment |
when treason was ripening for exc
sutton" The message concludes
with: God save the people of
he United States"
Americans have found much
