THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION
President Taft Proclaims November %
as Thanksgiving Day.

President Taft issued a proclamation
today setting aside November % as
Thanksgiving day. The proclamation
follows:
by the President Of the United
States: A proclamation:
"A God-fearing nation, like ours,
owes to its Unborn and sincere sense of
moral duty to testify its devout graf
itude to the All Giver for the countless
benefits it has enjoyed. For many years
it has been customary at the close of
the year for the national executive to
urge upon his fellow countrymen to
offer praise and thanks to God for the
manifold blessings vouchsafed to them
in the past and to unite in earnest sup.
pliance for their continuance.
"The year now drawing to close
has been notably favorable to our for
tunate land. At peace within and with
out, free from the perturbations and
calamities that have afflicted other
peoples, rich in harvests so abundant
and industries SO productive that the
overflow of our prosperity has advan.
tagged the whole world, strong in the
steadfast devotion of the heritage of
self government bequeathed to us by
the wisdom of our fathers, and firm
in the resolve to transmit that heritage
unimpaired, but rather improved by
good use, to our children and our child
rem children for all time to come, the
people of this country have Astounding
cause for contented gratitude.
"Wherefor l, William H. Taft, pres.
ident of the United States of America
in pursuance of long established usage
and in response to the wish of the
American people, invite my country
men, wheresoever they may sojourn, to
join you Thursday, the 2Sth day of this
month of November, in appropriate
ascription of praise and thanks to God
for the good gifts that have been oui
portion and in humble prayer that His
great mercies toward us may endure.

Commercial and Educational Leaders
Mingle In Social Pleasures
Tuesday Evening.

The reception given Tuesday even
ing by the commercial club as a compli-
ment to the teachers Of Idaho county
who are attending the institute being
held in Grangeville this week, was a
very brilliant social affair and proved
most pleasing social evening.
The Schmadeka hall, which had been
secured for the occasion, was beauti-
fully decorated in yellow and white,
! the Idaho colors and the lights arranged
to shed mellow glow in the brilliant
scenes. While the commercial club was
the sponsor of the reception, to the
teaching corps of the local schools is
due great credit as the teachers
worked hard and spent much time in
arranging for the affair.
In the receiving line Tuesday even
ing were: Mesdames Glanville and
Hattabaugh, President Anderson of the
Commercial club, Superintendent CLAN.
vile, Messrs. Frank McGrane, j.
Frank Sims and John Pulse.
| An address of welcome was delivered
by President Anderson who made a
most pleasing talk which sparkled with
wit and carried with it the heartiest
kind of greeting
Mrs. George Algie favored the guests
with a solo, and another pleasing fea-
ture was the reading by Miss Laura
Lanningham.
Following the reading by Miss Ian
ningham a solo by Mrs. M. R. Hatta-
baugh was thoroughly appreciated.
Mrs. Glanville and her pupil, Lallah
Fulton, payed selection from the
Bohemian Girl,'' and the early even.
ing program closed with cello solo by
DR.. Riggs.
| AS a means of getting the people ac,
quainted with one another the commit
tee struck upon novel idea; immed
lately upon arriving each guest was
provided with a card upon which to des
ignate his or her native state. Later il
the evening the people from the variou.
states were grouped and required tt
perform "stunt' of some kind.
Partners for the evening were Sc
cured through the matching Of quota
tions, and this assisted greatly in get
ting the people acquainted.
Following the program in the arly
part of the evening, the guests enjoyed
dancing until an early hour in the morn
ing to the excellent music provided by
DIR. and Mrs. Riggs,
While the hall was crowded, through
the kindness Of Mrs. Schmadeka an.
the K. P. lodge, additional room wa
secured, the millinery parlors bein,
used for the serving of the refresh
ments and the K. P. lodge room as
reception room.
Taken all in all the evening was
most enjoyable one and the suggestion
of Prof. Rice at the commercial clul
dinner several weeks past that the bus
mess men of this city should interes
themselves in the entertainment of ou
visitors is conceded as well advised. Be

the good name and the kind word
heard by the returning teachers make
it well worth while.

We Are Not After q Change

We regret exceedingly that Governor Carey should have made
the attack on u congressional delegation which be did at the Sheri.
dan meeting last week. 1t has probably done much toward open
ing the gap which has existed in the republican ranks of Wyoming
aud which was rapidly closing, The people of Wyoming r in
sympathy with the work done by our present delegation and can see
where no good is going to accrue to our state by removing them and
putting in men whom it will take years to put in the same position If
Influence.
These men represent an influence in Congress possibly preatsr
than all the New England states, their acts have ALWAYS been for the
best interests of the state they represent, and other western states
They have been responsible for the enacting of laws by which the west
has benefited, and their influence is always sought when any measure
of Importance to the western states comes PIP in Congress.
We regret exceedingly that Governor Carey should have said
what he did especially in charging that they have not been resnopsibla
for one single law which has benefited the state-when our peonle ali
know to the contrary. These men possibly may favor the renomins-
ton of President Taft-that is their right, just as much as it is for
Governor Carey and others to favor Theodore Roosevelt. Cover
nor Carey eulogized Theodore Roosevelt in a masterful wov h,.m
cannot see where he is helping Roosevelt right now in trying to toar
down our congressional delegation. 1t will hurt the cause fr ua

that will not line up in the fight against Messrs. Warren, Clark and

Makes E xtraaeant Claims

IT has been asserted, and is being asserted continually, that the
letter from the General Land Office, notifying the State of Wyoming
of the claims made by the Reclamation Service and giving it 80 DAYS
in which to refute the same, is a ruling" of the land Office. This is
at error, 1t It's not a ruling, as yet, but it the state failed to make a
proper showing to The land department, it might become a ruling
Still any decision of the land Office is always subject to an appeal to
the Secretary of the Interior, who is the court of last resort in sucb
cases. AS will be seen by the dispatch from Senator Warren, pin-
ted in this issue of the Sun, he has made arrangements for a confer
euce between the state officers and the officers of the Reclamation Ser
vice to be held in Cheyenne very soon, for the purpose of a discussion
of this question. The Reclamation Service is not an infaEble BODY
as witness it's statement when the Pathfinder dam was completed that
it would take two, and perhaps three years, to fill the immense reser-
vor created by the dam. There was high water in the North Pa tie
river in 1910 and the dam WAS filled less than 30 days if our memory
serves us.
The Reclamation service is not asking that the segregation list
Mott, as it is called, be entirely dispensed with. 1t is seeking sim
ply to hold up it's approval until such a time a $ they snail be able to
determine just what amount of water the Pathfinder dam will require.
If there is enough and to spare, well and good. lie not, it wants it
all-and then some. Such claims are, to say the least, quite arbt.
rary, as We think the people of this valley, living on the banks of this
stream, should be considered before the people of Nebraska. Sena-
to1 Warren and Congressman Mondel will be on the ground, ready to
make arguments and to bring pressure to bear upon the General Land
Office and the Department of Interior and we do not believe that the
French Creek Project will be turned down.

A Speciman Of Extreme Bitterness

Governor Carey said in his Sheridan speech:
wyoming needs lands laws applicable to the conditions as
they exist today in this state. The land laws their consruc-
tion and the espionage accompanying their administration
have shut out every avenue of progress. Wyoming's dele
gates in Congress are too busy watching their own interests
to labor for those who have honored them. Name one law
in this direction ever secured by them that has helped the
state. They r. too busy about other things to ask for
such a law a Is needed"
The above is from the lips of the Governor of Wyoming. supposed
to be the first man in all the state. He is a mar of great wealth
and influence, has been a United States Senator and has always occu-
pied a prominent position in the state, and for that reason his word
has always had great weight,

most as we'll known in every other arid land state as in his own, and
his name is one of the foremost in beneficial land legislation in the
congress of the United States. There are a great many lei who
would be glad, indeed, if the great Reclamation Act, the hand. work
of MI. Mondell, had been theirs, looking upon it IS all that anv one
man needs to eHaollsh MS reputation a 8 a statesman. Considering

They Say"

Aud the dreadful, venomous things

Why, half the gossip under the sun.
If you trace it back, you will find be-

In that wretched house of They
A numerous family, SO l am told,
And its genealogical tree is old:
For aver since Adam and Eve began
To build up the curious race of man
Has existed the house of They
Gossip-mongers and ~spreaders of lies,
Horrid people whom all dispise!
And yet the best of us now and then
Repeat queer tales about ome and
men,
And quote the house of "They."
They live like lords aud never labor,
A "They's" n task is to watch his
neighbor,
Aud to tell his BUSINESS land private
affairs.
To the world at large they are sewers
of taIes-
These folks in the house of "They."
1t is useless to follow a "They"
With a whip or a gun, for he slips
away,
And into the house where you can
not go;
1t is locked and bolted and guarded
This horrible house of "They."
Though you cannot get in, yet they

And spread their villainous tales

Vi all the rascals uuder the sun
Who have come to punishment, never
Belonged to the house of "They"

Making Preparation for Big Business

The way things art moving in Saratoga just now is evidence that
the mechanics, at least, are looking for a largely improved business
over 1911. Additions are being made to business houses and other
business houses ire being erected, and the sound of the saw and the
hammer is abroad in the land. 1t certainly looks good to see the
activity which is being displayed in this direction, for it indicates a
firm belief in the future of the place and the surrounding country, all
of which we believe to be fully justified. There will be no end of
water during the year 1912, which means good times to every one and,
Judging from the appearance of the mountains and the reports that
come in from saw-mill men and prospectors, there will be enough
