very much interfered with by the
storm but they declared that they
would not have missed the beauty
of the scene for all its difficulties.

THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION.

In harmony with a sacred custom of the fathers, and in grateful recog- milton of the ever present fulfillment of the promises of God, I do hereby recommand, in conformity with the proclamations of the presidents of the United States, that Thursday, November 27, 1902, be observed as day of thanksgiving and prayer, and I recommend that the people of Arizona, as the children of one Father, dedicate this day to deeds Of charity and brotherly love, and in their churches and homes render praise and thanksgiving to God for the full measure of peace and plenty. He has given to our commonwealth. Let us acknowledge on this day that the blessings which have come to us are God-given messages of His great love and guidance.
 The treasures of the earth have been given to man in increasing quantities; the people of Arizona as a whole have enjoyed good health; and general contentment. peace and prosperity have been their portion. Surely, a people so richly blessed should rejaice and offer from their hearts words of thanksgiving to an all wise Providence.
 As the ones most blessed gather around tables spread with rich abundance, they should remember those less favored, that they too, may participate in manifesting apprecia- tion of the goodness and mercy of our Heavenly Father.
 In the year just closing, We should be especially thankful that Divine Providence has continued to gride our nation to the foremost place the enlightened and progress sive people of the earth.
 In Witness Whereof, I have here unto set my hand and caused the great seal of the Territory of Arizona to be affixed, at the Capitol, in Phenix this lth day of November. 1902 Alexander O. Brodie. By the Governor. Seal
