In obedience to a long and
beautiful custom to observe one
day In each year, especially set
apart by the constituted authori
ties for the purpose of expressing
gratitude unto our Creator for
the many favors bestowed, and IN
recognition Of the recommendation
Of the President Of the u nited

FOR of the State Of Nevada, do
, designate Thursday, November
Both, 1911, day of Thanksgiving
for the people of Nevada should
be truly thankful, for the year
fast coming to close has added
many thousands of acres to our
cultivated lands; and through the
medium of artesian wells, water
has been found in different Sec
tons Of the state, which will have
the effect of turning the sage
brush lands into garden spots, anu
thereby bringing into our midst
large numbers of the tillers of
the soil, who are looking for per-
manent homes.
Our mines are t. day the worlds
greatest producers of the precious
metals, and, not only are they
adding to the wealth of the
country but are giving employ
ment at the highest wage to
thousands Of our people.
Poverty is virtual unknown
Wit the boundaries of our
Common wealth and while many of
ua suffered greatly as a result Of
the financial disturbance Of several
years ago, yet today. there is but
little to remind us of that un-
fortunate period.
For all these blessings, and
many others which the All Wise
Father has bestowed upon us, let
US be thankful. and let us be such
a continuance Of his .mercies..
On this day let US forget
all SORROWS end disaI pointmt nts,
and let US turn to an all promis-
ing future, and with hearts and
minds prepared, receive the
abundant blessings which God will
surely bestow upon those who
honor Him.
