THANKSGIVING DAY
canada's Day Of Thanks a Month Ear,
Her Than In the United States.

For some reason better known to
the Canadians themselves than to the
people on this side OF the line, our
Canadian cousins celebrated their
Thanksgiving month or more earlier
than we do, II may be that the Cana.
dian turkey had become impatient, and
sounded note of warning, or 1t may
be that the frost on the pumpkin de.
clared itself But whatever the reason,
their Thanksgiving day b past. 1t may
have been that the reasons for giving
thanks so much earlier than we do
were pushing themselves so hard and
so fast that the Canadians were
ashamed to postpone the event They
have had reasons, and good ones. too
tor giving thanks. Their great broad
areas of prairie land have yielded In
abundance, and here, by the way, 1t is
not uninteresting to the friends Of
the millions OF Americans who have
made their home in Canada during the
past few years to knows shat they have
participated most generously in the
cutting of the melon" Probably the
western portion of Canada, comprising
the provinces of Manitoba. Saskatche-
wan and Alberta. have the greatest
reason OF any of the provinces to ex-
press in the most enthusiastic manner
their gratitude. The results In the
line of production give ample reason
for devout thanksgiving to Providence.
This year has surpassed all others In
so far as the total increase in the coun.
try's wealth is concerned. There is no
question that Providence was espe.
cially generous. The weather condi-
tons were perfect, and during the
ripening and harvesting period, there
was nothing to interfere. And now 1t
was well 1t was so, for with demand
for labor that could not be supplied,
there was the greatest danger, but
with suitable weather the garnering Of
the grain has been successfully accom-,
piished There have been low gen.
eral averages. but these are account.
ed for by the fact that farmers We're
Indifferent. relying altogether upon
what a good soil would do There
will be no more low averages though.
for this year has shown what good.
careful farming will do, 1t will pro-
duce 1870 million bushels of wheat from
seven million acres, and 1t will pro-
duce a splendid lot OF oats. yielding
anywhere from so to 100 bushels per
acre. This on land that has cost but
from $40 to SIS per acre-many farm
ers have realized sufficient from this
years crop to pay the entire cost OF
their farms. The Toronto Globe says:
'The whole population of the West
rejoices in the bounty of Providence.
and sends out message of gratitude
and appreciation of the favors which
have been bestowed on the country.
The cheerfulness which has abounded
with industry during the past six
months has not obliterated the concep-
ton of the source from which the
blessings have flown. and the good
feeling is combined with spirit OF
thankfulness for the privilege OF living
In so fruitful land. The misfortunes
OF the past are practically forgotten,
because there is great cause to con-
template with satisfaction the COM
forts Of the present Thanksgiving
should be season Of unusual en-
thusiasm.p

HOW .D.TAR0D
 WAS FOUND

Three prospectors, travelling down the Yukon river last May in a rickety makeshift craft, whose motive power was generated by an antique boiler that threatened to explode every time one of the trio manipulated a stop cock, heard that the United States marine inspectors were on their trail Knowing that their boat would not be able to stand inspection, as none of them was licensed pilot or engineer they turned up the little-exDlored Id- itarod river to hide. A few days later they struck the Iditarod gold diggings, whose reported fabulous riches have stampeded 5000 Alaska miners, and which next spring, it is declared, will cause one of the greatest rushes in the history of the golden territory
 This is the story of the discovery of the Iditarod brought to Seattle by Col. George F. Cooke, in command of the military post at Fort Gibbon.- Seattle Times.
