Day
Pursuant to the proclamation issued
by President Theodore Roosevelt ana
Governor Miguel A. Otero, the people
of the United States and of the Terri
tory of New Mexico will devote tonior-
row to thanksgiving and prayer, for
the prosperous and bounteous year tho
people generally have enjoyed.
The Thanksgiving boards in Santa
Fe and throughout the Territory OF
New Mexico will groan under the
weight of the great American bird,
sold by the merchants in larger num-
bers than ever before, as the prices
asked this year for this toothsome
Thanksgiving luxury are within the
reach of all
Have Cause to Be Thankful.
The people of Santa Fe and through
out the Territory of New Mexico have
indeed cause to be thankful that the
general coal strike ordered by the
United Mine Workers of America has
not assumed greater magnitude and
become more general throughout the
Territory. The peace proclamation
so timely issued by Governor Otero, to
greater degree than the average per-
son imagines, has governed the sltua-
tion in New Mexico, to the extent that
the majority of those in the Territory
who are employed in coal mines, has
absolutely refused to bow to the die
tates of foreign emissaries, who verify
would take the bread and butter out or
the miners mouths, and out of the
mouths of their families.
Hundreds of the Thanksgiving tur-
keys were delivered yesterday and to-
day by the butchers and grocers to
the families in Santa Fe, while in
some instances chickens win take the
place of the turkey on the festal
boards The poor of the city were pro-
vided for by the Woman's Board or
Trade, so that the day will be one Of
thanksgiving and rejoicing through
out the city.
