 Before passing the House an amendment was made to the Boyle bin permitting general stores 8 mile or more from a drug store to carry certain wcIl-known remedies, and to sell them. Another amendment was adopted permitting physicians thot have had three years experience in a drug store to prepare prescriptions Other amendments Of a minor uotur wore adopted.

Is the suD- stance of a comment made by D. l.. Stevenson and Lrnest Butterficld to Ia Daily Alaskan representative to- day.
 Mir Leak and his party were on th ground but nine days and he stated Co those in the camp that he did not want to stake, but wanted options, which, Mcssrs.

 According to these gentlemen there is plenty of water with good grades running about 20 feet to the hundred with good sluIce heads new. They agree with Leak and his par ty in saying that the country ig l. deally formed for easy placer O. cr- ations, and while they are not en- thusiastic enough to claim 1t to be another Klondike, they maintain that a good camp is to be establish- ed there waich is destined for a pre- ddcer Of importance.

Have Cause to Give Thanks.

If we remember what were the con-
ditions, circumstances, events and in
c1dents of the first Thanksgiving day,
and allow thought to traverse even
rapidly and specifically the path of
blessing until this Thanksgiving day
of 1913, we shall have faint vision. at
least, of that for which the land should
offer praise. If we dwell only upon
the great benefits that affect the gen
eral welfare, abundant reason appears
why we should set season apart, as
semble in our places of worship, and
lay upon the altar Sur united offering
OF praise. And this is not alone for
abundant harvests, for commercial
prosperity, for continued peace and in
creasing power; not alone for good be-
slowed, but thanks for evil spared: for
fires of trouble from which we passed
unframed; for the floods that threat
ened but did not overwhelm; for the
casting down that yet did not destroy:
for all calamities endured and over
past
Surely if ever land should in h1mil.
1ty bring tribute from multitudes Of
grateful hearts, ours should make this
q true THANKSGIVING dav.

BE- SPIRIT FL is.-
Good Idea Is That Thanksgiving Is the
NobIest Work That
Man Can Do.

Thanksgiving: The act Of rendering
thanks, expressing gratitude for favors
or mercies; public celebration OF di-
vine goodness.
Thanksgiving day: A day set apart
for religious services in acknowledg-
ment of the divine goodness.
BY nature man is religious; and
Thanksgiving day is an annual re-
hinder of this innate tendency. The
very first Thanksgiving and the man
ner Of its observance are not very
well defined in history Perhaps the
following paragraph will give as sue
clint an epitome as is possible at this
remote distance:
''The fishermen were ordered to
'scour the seas for SPOIL the hunters
to shoulder their matchlocks and
bring in such game as would allow
the Mayf1ower colony in more special
manner to rejoice together The re-
suit was supply of wild turkey, deer,
bear and game of every sort in such
abundance as amply to feed the colony
for week. They had as guests the
friendly chief, Massasoit, and 80 Of his
Indians. The Indians contributed to
the feast five deer and a great basket

garb and borrowing of European cos
tune, cementing there the bond Of
friendship with the white settlers
which held good Al years.
In 1921 Governor Bradford after the
first harvest made provision for the
colonists' rejoicing together with
praise and prayer. In 1923 day Of
fasting and prayer in the midst Of
drought was turned into Thanksgiving
by the coming of rain during the pray
ers; gradually the custom prevailed O.
appointing annually a thanksgiving
day after harvest. These appoint
ments were made by the governors
proclamations. During the Revolution
airy war day Of national thanksgiv
ing was annually recommended by con
gress. For many decades the presi
dent has annually appointed such
day and the governors Of the variou
states have supplemented the same.
