GOVERNOR ASKS THAT
THANKS Be GIVEN.
g
D.

AS the years roll by, Divine Provi-
denceb ebestows abundant favors upon
the American Nation. The year
1914 has been no exception. When
we contemplate the condition of the
nations of the Earth, no people have
been so blessed and so favored as
have the people of the United State
of America. Our people have been
better fed, better clothed, better
housed and better paid for thier
labor than the people of any other
nation in the world; our harvests
have been abundant; we have made
progress in material things, educat-
ion and moral uplift; we are at
peace with the world and in happy
contrast with other great nations
where carnage, destruction and de-
ISOLATION is the rule. The horrors of
the war now in progress in other
lands cannot adequately be describ-
ed, and it is sufficient cuause for
thanksgiving and prayer that our
land is spared this wanton waste of
life and treasure bringing poverty
and sorrow to millions of homes.
America, "The Land of the Free and
the Home of the Brave" is a land
to be especially appreciated at this
time.
Idaho, the Gem of the Mountains,
has partaken of her full share of the
blessings of our common country.
Now, Therefore, l, John M.
Haines, Governor of the State of
Idaho, do hereby join with the Pres
ident of the United States in desig-
mating and setting apart Thursday,
the twenty-sixth day of November,
Thanksgiving Day, and | call upon
our people to cease from all labor
on that day and congregate at their
houses of worship, or assemble at
Public meeting places, or gather,
around the family alter and offer to
Almighty God their most hearty
thanks for the blessings that are
ours, and their most fervent prayer
for the prepetuity of the conditions
that make such blessings possible
thanks that ours is a land where
every citizen is protected in life,
liberty and in the pursuit of happi-
mes, prayers that as a nation we may
ever be guided by the inspirations
of the Fathers of the Republic
thanks that our Country is at peace
with the world, prayers that the
Garage across the seas cease.
In Testimony Whereof, | have
hereunto set my hand and caused
the great Seal of the State of Idaho
to be affixed. Done at Boise, the
Capital, this the ninth day of Nov
ember, in the year of our Lord one
thousandnine hundred fourteen, and
of the independence of the United
States of America the one hundred
thirty-ninth.
JOHN M. HAINES, Governor of
Idaho.

$4,000 in cash, was the principal
event on the card today for the second
day of the royal race meeting, which
attracted vast crowds of sportsmen
and society people. The race, which
was handicap for three-year-olds
and upwards, was run over the severe
TX furlongs course and the entries
included a score of the smartest horses
in training. J. East's Lie Abed won the
Royal hunt cup race. Braxtex was
second and Honeymoon third.
King George and Queen Mary were
again present with distinguished
company from Windsor castle, but So
cially today was an "off-day," and
there was no state procession. The
costumes of the women occupants of
the coaches and enclosures were as
brilliant as ever but their male COM
panions were permitted more relaXa-
tion and King George set the fashion
by discarding his morning coat and
silk hat in favor of brown Derby
and a comfortable lounge suit. Silk
hats will again be de rigeur tomorrow.

trails and through dense forests. They
reached civilization by following the
downward flow of mountain streams.
The balloon landed in a great pile of
rocks near Blue Lake at 8 O'Clock Fri
day morning 1t is doubtful If the
balloon can ever be brought out on ac-
count of the wildness of the district.

ELKS' CONVENTION.

ANDERSON, S. c., June 1.-THE
state convention of the B. P. o. Elks
was opened here today and will end
with a big meeting at midnight on
June 18th. Every Elk lodge in the
state is represented, and Columbia
lodge has organized and uniformed a
drum corps, which is attracting quite
a little favorable comment. A num-
ber of South Carolina towns are anxi-
Gus to secure lodges of the order of
Elks, but on account of constitutional
provisions as to size, it is probable
that no dispensations will be granted
in the near future.
