CUSTOM AN OLD ONE
Pages of History Filled With Rec
ord of Days Set Aside for
Giving Thanks. =
-@lIE idea is prevalent throughout

"llIE Idea Is prevalent throughout
the United States that our
u Thanksgiving day Is peculiarly
nh American custom of New England
origin. This Is true In prrt only. The
general observance through many
years of IL set day on which to give
thanks to Almighty God for his bless
ings has made the custom distinctively
American; but its origin long ante
dates the settlement of this western
continent and we must look elsewhere
for it.
In old Egypt, when the harvest had
been gathered 1t was the custom to
observe u day of feasting and to lay
offerings upon the affairs of Isis, the
goddess of agriculture. The Jewish
festival was the "Ingathering," or the
"Feast of the Tabernacle" mentioned
in Exodus and other parts of the Old
Testament. This was more particular
ly thanksgiving for the fruit harvest,
but as 1t came ut the close Of the en-
tire harvest it probably was intended
also as n general thanksgiving "for the
bounty of nature"
The goddess of the Roman harvest
was Ceres. Her festival was celebrated
annually and was called Ceralla. 1t
was day of worship and rustic sports.
Men and women formed professions
and went to the fields with music.
In one way or another. Thanksgiv-
ing day had been observed In Chris
tian Europe for centuries before Its
celebration In New England. The early
Christians kept such days as the bish-
ops named them within their jurisdic-
ton. on the continent, and for II time
in England 1t occurred at Martinmas,
which was day Of feasting and drink
ing. Occasionally. too, civic authorities
recommended the observance of some
fixed day.

iron COUNTY COAL
C0MPANY'S PLANS
CONTINUED from first page)

Coal company now under active de-
velopment are said by surveyors and
engineers to be the most accessible OF
any. There are eight miles of coal in
the upper canyon and outcroppings
from the opposite side of the plateau
show it to be a veritable mountain OF
coal. From this side the vein has
been traced up the tributory for over
thirty miles.
So far as known, the quantity of
the coal is unlimited. Hitherto, with
no special impetus to stimulate the de-
velopment, the coal was thouht to be
rather inaccessible for practical de-
velopment, the coal was thought to be
has changed all this.
With the arrival yesterday morning
of party composed of President
Webb, @. B. Kelly, president of the
Bingham Commercial club, we'll known
banker and treasurer of the Iron
County Coal company; r. d. Seymour
construction engineer; r. M. Crorck-
er, surveyor, representing the Rich
mond Machinery company, and George
Hahn, well known banker of Salt Lake
and director of the company, from
the coal property after thorouh in
vestigation, it was told that the prob
lem of transporting the coal down the
mountain had been solved.
Iron County record. [volume] (Cedar City, Utah) 1893-1982, 1918-02-08
VIII Serve Western Ports


Without considering the proximity
of the iron deposits, the engineers
stated that the coal alone would be of
immense value to the western country
and Pacific ports. 1t will mean thai
coal will be approximately 300 miles
nearer the Pacific coast. Nevada mines
will be supplied.
Throughout California coal will be
in abundance both for government use
and for home consumption. Mexico
and Central America can receive ship
ments. One of the most important eff
fects Of this will be the immense ton
mage used by the trans-Pacifc liners
coaling at San Francisco and othe,
California ports.
c. w. Bechtel, veteran minig en-
gineer who is in charge of the work
on the Iron County Coal company's
property, is exceedingly pleased with
the outlook. Under his supervision
active work will progress, and he, to-
gether with members of the party
who made the trip are enthusiastic
over the ease with which they have
solved the transportation problem,
which hitherto has been one Of the
main obstacles in the way of develop
ment.
Cedar City turned out in force to
welcome the party, who were the
guests Of honor at the largest banquet
ever given by the loe.l Commercial
club, Saturday night. The people,
awakened to the immense possibilitie;
of their district, welcomed with open
arms the formation of this company
under Mr.. Webb's leadership and are
enthusiastic over the possibilities.
The realization that they are awak-
ening from sort of Rip Van Wrinkle
state to a period of empire building
has left them somewhat bewildered,
but widely enthusiastic. For more
than fifty years the little valley has
rested amid it's painted hills, content
ed with what nature gave it in the
way Of agricultural pursuits.
Cedar City Will Boom.
The coal the residents used was
hauled down the mountain in wagons
for domestic use. No visions that in
time the valley would be the scene of
giant shelters and rolling mills en-
dowed the fancies of even the dream
ers.
Locked in on two sides by treasure
walls, they have been content in their
mode of living for over a half-cen-
fury. With the black clouds Of wal
came the need for more coal. This
need growing more acute in the past
few months, now demands instant at
tention.
With the advent of the Iron County
Coal rompany and the dynamic forca
with which Mr.. Webb is pushing the
development of the interests, the time
is destined to come when people will
wonder why they call an Industrial
center Cedar" City.
