PREPARING FOR
IRRIGATIONISTS
Hon. NJ. B. GWinn Anticipates a
Great COngreSS-PreSident
May Attend

M. B. Gwinn. Chairman of the
Executive Committee of the Irri-
cation Congress. to be held in
Boise next September, was in
Caldwell Saturday. Everything
looks favorable to a most success
full meeting, so Mr.. Gwinn in
formed us. The executive officers
of the arid and semi-arid states are
deeply interested. Governor Par
dee of California is particularly so.
The officials of the transportation
companies have promised to do
everything in their power to make
the Congress a success, A great
many very prominent men will be
in attendance. President Roose-
welt or Vice President Fairbanks
will in all likelihood be present,
and Secretary Hitchcock will GER
tainly attend. There is only dis.
turbing element. That is the
question of funds to defray the ex-
pense. 1t is the intention to raise
as much as possible by popular
subscription. The legislature will
be asked for the balance. 1t will
be remembered that the legislature
made an appropriation for the min.
ing congress. The estimated cost
of properly preparing for and en-
tertaining the congress is $40, 900.
AT least half that can be raised by
subscription, leaving only $1,000 for
the legislature, Little or no oppo-
sition is anticipated from any
source. Considering the manifold
advantages that will accrue to the
State, no better investment can
present itself to the legislature.
Altogether Mr.. Gwinn is very en-
thusiastic.
In speaking of local affairs, Mr..
Gwinn said: 1.-THE Boise Valley is
now attracting the attention of the
country. The huge government
reclamation work is giving us
standing east and west. People are
beginning to understand and ap-
preciate Idaho. Capital is be-
&C ming interested. The develop
ment of the State, and particularly
this vallsy, is assured. There can
be no question of CaldwelPs future.
1t is also assured"

was naturally cruel and thoroughly

raise him above the plane, of complete
depravity, and yet he has been made a
hero and martyr by those who know

by a party sent in pursuit of his band

his captors. and after being identified

The ethical and spiritual slgnifi-
canoe Of Thanksgiving, with all its
feasting, its happy reunions and it's
merrymaking, will never be lost sight
of, If we remember that this great
feast day" was born of fast days"
And that while some are feasting, 9th.

Thanksgiving Day will be animated
by finer spirit also when we think Of
1t only in terms Of materialism but in
terms Of patriotism and democracy
when we remember it as the day pro-
claimed by the first president on
which to commemorate the birth Of
the nation, in the adoption Of the con-

Abraham Lincoln for prayer and
thanksgiving after the nation had
passed through terrible crisis-the

was dragged through mudholes and
creeks and over stumps and rocks
until his shins and nose were skinned
and every part of him was sore
At last they emerged on road and
in few moments they were at No
abs front gate and the mean man hur'
ried to bed.
The next morning he could hardly
get up, because he was so sore, But
he crawled out to feed his turkeys.
When he got to the barnyard, his
heart nearly stood still. There was
not single. solitary turkey in the
/ place.
He stood with his mouth open, won

picion entered his mind. He limped
as fast as he could to the back, and,
sure enough, there he found great
holes in the walls of the houses.

right down in the mud. That viii

He was quite right.
When poor but honest Bill went by

the town, Noah Wamskittle shook his
fist out Of the window, but Bill Leg
so only laughed, and so did every
body else in Sandtown when they
heard of it.
The Globe-republican., 1906-11-22

Noah Wamskittle was a mean man;
one Of those mean people who hate to
Gee others prosperous, even though 1t
does not interfere with them at all.
He lived in Sandtown and raised
turkeys, like everybody else. He
earned lot Of money, because he fat
tened his turkeys we'll. 1t was his
only generous deed, for he begrud ged
even the food that he gave himself,
and as for othersh Well, Deacon Van.

skittle was so mean that he would
walk three miles to borrow match
rather than use one of his own to
light his fire In the morning.
Noah Wamskittle did not like Dea-
con Vandertassel at all, and he liked
him even less after he heard this.
So some days before Thanksgiving
day, he went to a poor man in Sand
town and said to him:
you know that we will all have to
ship our turkeys tomorrow. Now,
you have only so and If you do not
get a good price for them you will be
hard pressed for money this winter.
Well, l know way to make the

with our inordinate desire for mate
rial possessions, we are prone to for
get the ethical and spiritual import OF
Thanksgiving. To call forth our graft

things. We must be able to display
an array of brilliant tangible objects.
Moreover, we must have sumptuous

It seems we cannot be thankful for
a little good despite the dictum that

We cannot show our gratitude unless
It be for an "abundance"-hence

The harvest coming after the care
end toll of filling the soil, the sowing
Of seed and anxious watching of the
aelds, has therefore been almost uni
versally set apart as time for spe-
ctaI thanks, or Thanksgiving. How
ever, so far as we know, no other ma
don carries out this custom regular
y every year on specially appoint
I'd day; hence Thanksgiving Day has
,ome to be regarded as distinctively
American festival.
It Is interesting to observe that
while Thanksgiving Day as we know
It. Is a peculiarly American festival,
harvest festivals were celebrated
more than 5000 years ago. For in
stance, the Jewish Sukkot FESTIVAL

uacles, was harvest or ingathering'
festival held from the 18th to the
s2nd OF the tenth month, the first and
s,ghth day reserved for holy convoca-
ION.
According to religious usage, the
people left their houses and came
forth to live in the booths or tents
made Of twigs, branches and brush
wood, during the holy session Of eight
days. The interior of the booths were
made festive with shrubs and foliage
and especially the leaves and fruit
Of the palm, the "goodly tree" of Pal
estine. (The Jewish people of the
Orthodox faith in many places still
observe this festival in its original

Massachusetts, for generations, were
solely religious observances, while
that famous Plymouth celebration OF
1921 was a harvest festival, never de-
signated as Thanksgiving by its pro
moters and having no religious sig
nificance whatever, so far as known
Moreover, 1t comprised not merely a
single day of feasting and merrymak

designed solely for relaxation after
many months of privation and ardu

There is no record of a similar joy
Gus celebration in our annals for gen

existing evidence not greatly given to
gastronomy. No mention of Thanks
giving is found in contemporary list
of holidays for mcrryRaking as late
as 100.
Until as late as the war of 1872, or
later, Thanksgiving was not a regular
annual affair, either, its appointment
being in recognition of special bless
ings, either spiritual or material, and
usually deferred until such an excuse
for its appointment offered, even
though it might be for two or three
years, as was frequently the case. 1t
usually came in the autumn, however,
and generally bountiful harvest was
mentioned as an incidental cause.

arrival of the Pilgrims Thanksgiving
was appointed by the legislature, and

was quite as obligatory as was obedl.

lives, so to speak, and marks the pass
age of years perhaps even more dis
tinctly than New Years day or birth
days. For Thanksgiving is pre-emi.
nently the festival of home, the day Of
all others when home ties and associa.
tions assert their sway the strongest,
linking the present with the past and
binding all to the future. All who are
happy enough to have home and
hearth turn gladly to it for rest and
refreshment Of body and mind, and,
whether present or absent from the
home circle, that is the center and in
Spiration of their thoughts.
Perhaps to none is the day more full
of associations and memories than to
those who cannot thus join the home
circle. The toiler in the city or in the
country, unable even for day to quit
his duties, still takes pleasure in
thinking of those at home, and in i'm
agination, at least, takes his place at
the annual home gathering and shares
the pleasure Of the day.
