lar picnic over In Jersey City today, de-
spite the cold. 1t was held on the deck
Of the British steamship Chichester.
which sailed for Liverpool this after
noon, and was impromptu. 1t all hap
pened because one of the stevedores slip
ped when juggling a barrel of California
wine.
The barrel head burst and some Of the
wine went into the river. The workman
managed to save most of it. however.
And 1t looked so good that he used his
derby hat as a mug and proceeded to
enjoy its flavor. Other workmen and
sailors quickly Joined him. and the bar
rel of wine didn't last half long enough
TO suit everybody interested.
Anyhow" said the man who had had
the accident, I'VE saved the wine. 1t
would have been a shame to have al
lowed It to be spilled overheard"

PROCLAMATION ASKS
AID FOR EUROPEANS
President Suggests Thanksgiving Con-
tributions to War Victims.

The predominating note In the annual
Thanksgiving proclamation issued by
President Wilson yesterday was that
America contribute out OF our abund-
ant means" to the relief of the inhabi-
tants of the belligerent countries in Eu-
rope.
November 30 was fxed as the date for
the celebration and the proclamation is
as follows:
1T has long been the custom Of our
people to turn, in the fruitful autumn of
the year. in praise and thanksgiving to
Almighty God for His many blessings
and mercies to US as a nation. The year
that has elapsed since we last observed
our day OF thanksgiving has been rich in
blessings to US as a people, but the whole
face Of the world has been darkened by
war.
In the midst of our peace and happi-
ness, our thoughts dwell with painful
disquiet upon the struggles and suffer-
ings OF the nations at war, and of the
peoples upon whom war has brought dis
aster without choice or possibility Of es-
cape on their part.
We cannot think of our own happiness
without thinking also OF their pitiful
distress. q
Now, therefore, I, Woodrow Wilson,
President of the United States Of Amer
lea. do appoint Thursday. the thirtieth
day OF November, as day OF nauonal
thanksgiving and prayer. and urge and
advise the people to resort to their sew
eral places OF worship on that day, to
render thanks to Almighty God for the
blessings Of peace ~and unbroken pros
perity which He has bestowed upon our
beloved country in such Vpstinted meas
ure.
And 1 also urge and suggest our duty
in this, our day of peace and abundance,
to think in deep sympathy Of the peoples
of the world upon whom the curse and
terror of war has so pitilessly fallen.
and to contribute out of their abundant
means to the relief of their sufferings.
Our people could, in no better way.
show their real attitude toward the pres
ent struggle of the nations. than by con-
tributing out of their abundance to the
relief of the sufferings which war has
brought in its train.
In witness whereof have hereunto set
my hand and caused the seal OF the
United States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington. this
seventeenth day of November. in the year
of our Lord one thousand nine hundred
and sixteen and of the independence of
the United States the one hundred and
forty-frst. WOODROW WILSON.
ISeaD BY the President.

Secretary of State.

MONTPELIER SURE TO GET
= new DEPOT THIS YEAR
kilograms Were Received in This City Monday
Conveying the Good News Efforts Of the
Examiner Brought Quick Results.

The best news that the Examiner
has published for many years is that
contained in the kilograms and letter
given below. which give assurance
that new passenger depot Is to be
erected in Montpelier this year. The
Examiner has had reason to feel con-
fident for some weeks past that the
depot would be erected this year,
but we did not expect that official
announcement TO that effect would
come at this early date. But that
it is made at this time is due largely
to the efforts which have been made
by the Examiner In the interest of
this long delayed and much needed
improvement. We took up the fight
for new depota short time ago.
not because we had any grudge
against the Oregon Short Line Rail-
way company. but simply as matter
Of public necessity. and in the inter-
ests Of patient and long suffering
public. Realizing that the present
depot was subject to condemnation,
from . sanitary standpoint, we took
the matter up with the state sani-
tary inspector. and he had secured
such facts and figures as would have
warranted the issuance of a proclama-
tion condemning the present strnc-
ture. and the issuance or an order
by the state utilities commission for
the erection Of an up-to-date depot
here.
It il possible that the new depot
would have come this year without
Montpelier examiner. [volume] (Montpelier, Idaho) 1895-1937, 1916-03-03

this action upon our part. but we
did not want to take any chances
with mere promises, such as have
been made by the Short Line officials
III the past. That the railway Off
cials were cognizant of the action
that was being taken by the state
sanitary department. there is no
doubt. and rather than to have it
said they were forced to erect a new
depot here, il is evident they got
busy with the higher ups in the
east and demanded Of them assur-
ance that the appropriation for a
depot here would be approved this
year. We have always felt that the
Short Line officials were willing to
give US depot. but that they were
powerless to act until such time as
the directors of the Union Pacific
system saw fit to approve an appro-
priation for this work.
Whether or not the recent efforts
Of the Examiner have resulted in
bringing to the people Of Montpelier
at this time the welcome news that
a new depot is to be erected this
year, is a matter which the people
may Judge for themselves. In any
event, we congratulate the Oregon
Short Line officials upon their action
in the matter. and assure them that
it is deeply appreciated by the citi-
zens Of Bear Lake county in general
and of Montpelier in particular.
Following are the messages which
were received Ia this city last Mon
day morning.
