QUIET OBSERVANCE OF
 THANKSGIVING DAY HERE

The observance of Thanksgiving day Tn Iditarod WAS confined to private dinner oar ties and quite general suspension of Dusl- ness The public offices were closed, and also the bank and most of the business houses, aud everybody seemed determined to devote the day to the purpose for which il N.as set aside.
 While there were DO public religious serV- ices here. it i+ safc to say that the Thanks giving sentiment was as prevalent m ldlta- rod as in any section of the country. While the cold storage turkey Is not to be com pared with the recently slaughtered Iowa corn fed variety available on the Outside he makes mighty good substitute, and all of Inc accessories for genuine cld- fashlcned Thanksgiving dinner are avail able in Ihtarod markets, even if some of them are of the canned variety.
 Another feature of an Idltarod Thanks giving that should not be overlooked is the fact that probably not a single resident was comneIet to forego the patriotic duty of eating turkey on Thanksgiving on account of inability to secure the GeIicacy a. pow erty in its generally accepted term is un- known here
 The dance given by the ladies of Flat City in the evening was the only public junction to take place on the holiday.

CHAIRMAN OF COMMISSION
 TALKS ON ALASKA RAILROAD

SEATTLE, Oct 21 The practical results that will come from cheap transportation in the development of Alaska by the gov ernment railroad were outlined by Thomas Riggs Jr, of the Alaska railway commi, sion. in an address at the Commercial Club yesterday He and W.

 the merchant will be able to send a wire to
 Seattle and in six or seven days can have
 his goods in the warehouse at Fairbanks

COAL FROM E1ATANUSKA
 TO RECEIVE ANOTHER TEST

SEATTLE, Oct. 24- Word has been re ceived at the Bremerton navy yard that the armorod cruiser Maryland Captain Philip Andrews. will leave the Mare Island navy yard on November l for Puget sound. Upon arrival here the Maryland will take on supplies and coal and will also load with 600 tons of Alaska coal from the Matanu~ka fields This coal was brought to the navy yard last spring and stored at the coal depot awaiting the relief of the Mary land from duty i'll Mexican waters. Th9 vessel is now available for this duty, and thorough tests will be made to determine the steaming qualities of the Matanusk. coal Twenty five tons of the coal was sent to AnnapoIs fer chemica! tests and was found to be much superior in quality to the ccal tested last year.

"ColoncI" A. M Elliot was a resident of Iditarod fer nearly three years leaving here in the fall of 1913, having been connected with The Pioneer nearly all that time. Afte.' leaving Iditarod he went to Southern Cali fornia and it was reported hereabouts that his martial spirit was leading him south ward to espouse the cause of the Mexican Constitutionalists by enlsting in the army If General Villa. Whether or not Colonel Elliot served in Villas army has not been satisfactorily determined but the fact re mains that that famous Mexican com manders military efforts were invariably crowned with success after the colonel landed in the South.
 As a matter of ayoirdupois. the "cOlonel' vas not "hefty' proposition, but he was an individual possessed of considerable learning, and was exceptionally well yersed in world politics He lived a number of years in south Africa-was there during the Boer war, and saw some military service in tha. conflict The rank of "cClonel' by which he was generally known in this com mGnity, was conferred upon him by Billy Nc~man. now a resident of Ruby. That usually much coveted title rested lightly upon the shoulders of MT. Elliot. who was capable cf maintaining the proud bearing and feaTIessne>s of Russian duke.

JAPANESE GOVERNMENT
 TO DISCARD BATTLESHIP :

TOKYO Oct 2S.-It is officially an nounced that the Japanese government will build no battleships next year, and will con
 fine its construction of warships entirely to torpedo beats and submarines, This an nounccment is tantamount to an abandon ment of the idea that large battleships are longer of any Use. and that the day has come when sea fighting will be carried on altogether by the smaller and more eifec- tive crafts. The carrying on the war so far seems to show that the days of dread
 naughts and other great ships of war are practically numbered. IL is believed to have been shown that against submarine the largest vessel aHoat Is almost useless.

Injury.
ACCIDENT NEAR OAK GROVE
Warning Of Danger Given By
Wood Choppers But
Misunderstood.

Julian Moore, a youth who resides
with Mrs. Sadie Whitlock. near Oak
Grove, narrowly escaped death last
Wednesday, when the horse he was
driving to buggy was killed and the
vehicle wrecked by a falling tree.
Moore was out driving when the
accident occurred. Mr.. Will Led
ford was having a tree cut near the
road and when the choppers saw
young Moore coming up the lane
they made an effort to warn him not
to pass until the tree had fallen, but
the buggy top was hoisted and he
probably did not hear them or mis-
understood their efforts to stop him
AS he drove up the tree fell upon the
rig, crushing the horse to death and
demolishing the buggy. Young
Moore was unhurt, although his es-
cape was almost miraculous.
