PRESIDENT ISSUES THANKSGIV
ING PROCLAMATION.

In the midst of worries, trials and
cares incident to the press of war
and other national matters, Presi-
dent Wilson issued his annual
Thanksgiving proclamation Wednes-
day night, designating Thursday,
November %, as Thanksgiving Day.
The proclamation, which calls upon
the nation. even in the midst of war,
and the sorrows and great perils of
q world shaken by war, to thank
Cod for blessings that are better than
mere peace of mind and prosperity
of enterprise, is as follows:
ct has long been the honored GUS
tom of our people to turn to the
fruitful autumn of the year in praise
and thanksgiving to Almighty God
for His many blessings and mercies
to us and the nation. That custom
we can follow now even in the midst
Of a tragedy of world shaken by
war and Unreasonable disaster, in
the midst of great sorrow and peril,
because even in the midst of the
darkness that has gathered about us,
We can see the great blessing God
has bestowed upon us, blessings that
are better than mere peace of mind
and prosperity of enterprise.
eve have been given the opportu-
nifty to serve mankind as we once
served ourselves in the great days
of our declaration OF Independence,
by taking up arms against tyranny
that threatens to rnaster and de-
base men everywhere and joining
with other free peoples in demanding
for all the nations of the world
what we then demanded and obtained
for ourselves. In this day of the
revelation of our duty not only to de-
fend our rights as a nation, but to
defend also the right of free men
throughout the world, there has been
vouchsafed us in full and insplr-
ing measure the resolution and spirit
of united action.
And while we render thanks for
these things let us pray Almighty
God that in all humbleness of spirit
We may look always to Him Tor
guidance; that we may be kept con-
slant in the spirit and purpose of ser
vice: that by His grace our minds
may be directed and our hands
strengthened; and that in His good
time liberty and security and peace
ana the COIllI duCOulH VI
Justice may be vouchsafed all the ma
tions of the earth.
wherefore, I. Woodrow Wilson.
President of the United States or
America, do hereby designate Thurs
day. the 29th day of November next,
as day of thanksgiving and prayer,
and invite the people throughout the
land to cease upon that day from
their ordinary occupations and In
their several homes and places OF
worship to render thanks to God, the
great Ruler of Nations.
I'm witness whereof, I have here
unto set my hand and caused the
seal of the United States to De
affixed
Done in the District of COLUMBIA
the Seventh day of November IN the
Year of Our Lord 1917 and OF the In.
dependence of the United States OF
America. the 142nd.

| Commissioner Vim. Marks arrived
 rom the Teller section last night in
 advance of the herd of reindeer which | he was engaged in piloting down the The herd which coatains around one hundred and twenty five head, will he slaughtered here for shipment to the
 States on the last boats. It will doubt
 less be something of q surprise to the
 majority of Nomeites to learn that the 1 carcasses are destined for the Middle West and not the Pacific Coast, as has
 been the case heretofore. The meat will be shipped to Minneapolis and distributed to the markets of the cen | tral states from that point. A consid- erable number of deer, from the Golovin and other east coast herds will also be
 brought to Nome in the near future and slaughtered for the outside mar kets.
 Carl ] Lomen, who with other mem-
 bers of the G. J. Lomen family, is largely interested in the deer raising industry and are responsible for the shipments referred to, states that the demand for deer meat is byond their ability to supply at the present time. This is not because of a deficiency in the number of deer but rather because of the inability to handle larger ship
 ments under present conditions.
 Mir. Lomen says that the installa- ton of cold storage plants in the VI cinity of the herds is absolutely cs- sential to the handling of large ouan- titles of the meat. Under present con- ditions the animals must be driven from the distant reindeer camps to the vicinity of Nome before they can be slaughtered and the carcasses handled In convenient and economical man.
 ner. It is also pointed out that the driving of the deer over long distances is not without certain deleterious
 influence because of the animals los-
 ing slightly In weight

l According to the crew of the Silver the vessel is substantially the same as i already reported in the columns of the Nugget. The schooner was proceeding to Kotzebue and became fast on the mud flats while seeking to enter the channel. The storm abating somewhat, the crew managed to get the vessel off but she again became fast After
 four days of struggle against the
 storm, the boat finally reached Kotze-
 bue only to meet with further vicissi-
 tudes by becoming stuck on the bar in front of the settlement. In the earlier
 encounters with the sea bottom the vessel had escaped injury but consider
 able damage was done to the rudder when the schooner struck the sandbar at kotzebue. The crew rigged up a
 temporary steering apparatus and managed to reach the beach, where the vessel was hauled up and repaired
 Owing to the shortage of equipment, the work of repairing the vessel and getting her into the water again was one of great difficulty. The storm which caused the trouble is de- scribed as especially severe and ac- companied by freezing temperature and a heavy fall of snow.
