TRANSPORTATION TO STATES FREE
 FOR RED CROSS
Delegate SuIzer Gets Favor for Alaska Organiza-
 tion from the
 Companies.
WILL AID ORGANIZATION

The Alaska Red Cross has been guaranteed free transportation for material from Alaska to the States. This is information received by Mrs. P. J. Malone, president of the Jul neau Red Cross chapter in a tele- gram from Delegate Charles A. Sul- ger
 Before Delegate Sulzer left Juneau for the East, Mrs. Malone saw him with reference to the matter. Dele gate Sulzer asked Mrs. Malone to write him a letter on the subject. Before he had left Juneau the Dele gate had a letter which informed him that the steamship companies had been unable to allow free trans portation for material on account of the law and shipping regulations.
 The letter represented that the Red Cross is putting forth every eff fort to make a success of it's work, and if it could save transportation charges on it's material it would help that much on the results ob- tained.
 Steamship Companies in Line
 While in Seattle last week Dele gate Sulzer saw the representatives of the Pacific and Alaska Steamship companies, and while enroute East, last Saturday he sent the following telegram from Kititas, Washington: Mrs. P J. Malone,
 Juneau Alaska.
 Pacific Steamship Company prom ises to issue order authorizing Al aska agents to accept Red Cross ma terial for shipment free. Alaska Steamship Company will issue order upon authority of the shipping board at Washington, which I have asked for by wire.

NO BUSINESS BE TRANSACTED
 THANKSGIVING
Practically the Entire Town Will Take a Vacation and Will Eat
 Turkey.

Thanksgiving, made a legal holi- the Territorial possessions of the United States by virtue of the proc lamation of President Wilson but not a legal holiday in the States, will be celebrated tomorrow in Jul neau. While Thanksgiving is not a legal holiday, it is generally recog- nized as such and custom has es- tablished it firmly in the minds of American people as such.
 Thanksgiving was first observed in the United States by the Puritan fathers in 1921, immediately follow ing their first harvest, and since that time the day, has been generally observed more or less all over the United States The first day of Thanksgiving was recommended by the Continental Congress and Presi- dent Washington issued the first Presidential Thanksgiving Proclama- tion in 17S9. The day was not gen erally observed, however, until 1858 when the governors of twenty-five States and two Territories issued proclamations and the day was ob- served in them.
 In 1864 President Lincoln desig- mated the fourth Thursday of No vember as a day of thanksgiving, and since that time each President has followed his example.
 Tomorrow in Juneau the day will be spent with services at the var ious churches and with family re- unions and dinner parties. The big gest part of the Thanksgiving pro- gram is the big annual dinner, to- gether with the thanks which will be offered for the bounteous bles- sings which have been showered on the people of this city. A jitney dance will be on at Moose Hall at 9:30 D. m, and a big dance at Elks' Hall
 All stores, barber shops, Territor- ial and Federal offices and schools will be closed for the day, including the postoffice and the banks. The pie of Juneau and vicinity desire the news daily, and believing that it is their duty to furnish the latest news as it comes over the wire to their many subscribers, will work as usual and The Empire will be de- livered to it's readers at a slightly earlier hour than usual.

Purely Voluntary.

The Empire has not attempted to have entertainments or send solicitors in the field to solicit contributions. It has been through fhis method that some of the large cities have raised thous ands of dollars. The Empire has re- trained from doing it, not because it does not believe the fund to be very highly meritorious, but because there have been so many war causes to which the people have been called upon to make donations
