THANKSGIVING

Before this issue of The Press
reaches it's readers Thanksgiving
day will have passed and gone.
How many of them will have stop
ped long enough to think that
Governor Elrod and President
Roosevelt ever issued II proclama-
ton ut all. How many of them
will recognize the God of the Bible
as the giver of every good and per-
feet gift, in whom eve live and
move and have our being"
Personally and Individually,
most good people take stock of
their blessings and mcrcies week
~, every Sunday morning. But
many of them are not given to
looking at national and state af-
fairs as closely and rigidly as they
do their own, and thus sec moth
ing to give thanks for as a nation,
because they do not see any of it's
faults and shortcomings.
The Press, as a newspaper, will
give thanks for it's new Wisconsin
Window Cabinet and other new
printing material; as a citizen of
Forest City, for our ferryboat and
two gasoline launches, which bring
us business from the great Sioux
Indian reservation, also that we
have no licensed saloon or gam
bling houses, and that Uncle Sam
has been getting after the grafters
(boodlers) and bootleggers of our
neighboring community, across the
old Muddy, Cheyenne Agency; and
as n citizen of our county and
state, for good crops, and for two
railroads rushing to the Black
Hills, which will give our farmers
improved market facilities.
As On independent journal, The
Press gives thanks that the reform
forces won the late election in
Pennsylvania, and that now a Pro
hibitionist will hold the high office
If state treasurer.
But it Is a good thing also tc
praise Him for all these with song
and worship.

How many citizens of Forest
City r aware that u long-wished-
for change in the mail route from
here to Gettysburg is to take place
next July, when the mail is to leave
Cheyenne Agency in the morning,
instead of Gettysburg, as at pres
ent. The object of this change is
to give us connection with the af-
ternoon Minneapolis train out of
Gettysburg, which will enable us
to visit the Twin Cities without
any stopover or delays. "And that
will he 50 meet"
This change. we understand, has
been brot about mostly thru the
efforts of the Agency people.
What are the people of Forest City
doing to improve their mail f8eili-
tiesg We think there is the big
gest kind of an opportunity for
them, which would have as far
reaching an effect as the change in
the Gettysburg route. That is the
extension Of the Pierre Laurel
route, ON which the. government is
also now advertising for bids. 1t
shouldn't be-. necessary for The
Press to have to make any argu-
ments in support of this last prop
.0siti0n.

THE PORT OF STUART.

Apropos to recent article in INF
TRIBUNE relative to the proposed Ever
glades drainage canal and a port at
Stuart, Florida papers are taking a
lively interest in the matter Timely
articles have recently appeared IN the
Arcadia News and the Cocoa News, por-
tions Of which we reproduce,
Arcadia News A matter Of some
Importance is the agitation Of citizens
of the Indian river section for improve
ments to be made at st. lucie inlet in
order that harbor may be secured and
while this subject SO deeply appeals to
Rodents of that region. it should also
prove interesting to people on this side
Of the State.
Should such a harhor he made it
would offer inducements in the future
to railway builders to run a line of road
across the State, probably from Tampa
to the new port with such branches as
may seem necessary to the builders for
profitable trade,
A railway traverSing the proposed
route would quickly open fertile
country, and would be the most direct
route for shipment of phosphate, tim
Der and naval stores.
The Cocoa News says; This editor
is Informed that the coral reef outside
this inlet, which has depth of six feet
Of water at low tide Is really the only
obstacle in the way Of having deep
water; for outside this reef there is
an abrupt fall to ~ feet depth and if
an opening could be dynamited through
this coral reef just opposite the inlet
the outtlowing current would soon scour
the sand to the depth of the reef bot
tom, this doing away with the necessity .
Tor dredging,
1t seems practicable to secure an ex-
BERT and sufficient dynamite to blow an
opening of 100 feet width and 20 to 80
eet depth in that coral reef that lies
'cross the present inlet, and make a
permanent deep entrance there.
Concentrated action among the In
Ian river people and a strong petition
o Congressman Frank Clark will pro-
ably prove successful in securing the
ervices of the Government engineers
nd including this important inlet in the
preparation.
