Devils Hoof Marks

Not every one has heard of the
devils hoof marks. which excited
Devonsbire ard all England In the
middle of last century-or the Berba-
langs of Cagayan Sulu. The former
were curious tracks In the snow over
large tract of country. The scien-
fists of that day gave various expla-
nations. many of them very dogmatic.
but the country folk Of the West were
satisfied that the devil himself was
abroad on that snowy night. Lieuten-
ant Commander Gould of the Royal
Geographical society In oddities,
Some Unexplained Facts" published
by Philip Allan, advances the theory
that the trail might have been made
by some unknown marine creature.

Thanksgiving Spirit Abides.
Changing years have brought changed
customs, but the spirit of Thanksgiv-
ing still abides In the American heart,
whatever the style of observance. In
indianapolis, as Ia other cities, scores
Of families are depending on the hotels
and clubs to provide the Thanksgiving
dinner, thus to ease the women of the
household Of the responsibilities. Hotel
and club managers here say they are
booked almost to capacity with table
reservations calling for covers repre-
senting 10, II, Is and 20 persons. In
other words, the family is going to

that. in thousands of instances, mother

Feast Ever
Part of the
Spirit of Day

The modern Thanksgiving day OBJ
servance is SO broad In its contrast
with pioneer days that there is smile
in the comparison Comfort, luxury,
organization mark the celebration of
the event today. The Twentieth CEN
fury farmer produces his crops under
ideal conditions. He has no treaties OF
peace to make with Indians in order
to plant and cultivate his crops. In
the diary of an old New Englander is
this line:. "An Indian promise is no
more than to have pigg by the taile,"
a sentiment born of difficulties with
the savages The Pilgrim fathers
planted corn with seed in one hand
and rife in the other.
Governor Wallace issued the first
official Thanksgiving proclamation for
Indiana, fixing the day for Thursday,
November %, 1889. No doubt there
previously had been a general obsery-
ance of the harvest's bounties among
the pioneers of the state, but that was
promoted by the churches, not by Off
cial designation of the day by the gov
ernor. President Lincoln officially re-
stored the day in 1868. the first ma
tiona act of the kind since the admin
istration of President Madison. 1t is
pleasant to picture how the Hoosier
pioneers observed the day unofficially
by Harvest home" festivals in the
churches. when prayer and thanksgiy-
ing were the program of the wor
shippers.
Early Indianapolis was built along
White river. Farms were cultivated in
the surrounding territory, and a good
harvest was the basis for rejoicing.
Sometimes there was feasting. the
original idea of George Washington
not having lost its meaning to the
pioneer. Men went forth to the woods
to bring in wild turkeys and other
game that was worthy of being the
piece de resistance" of harvest fes-
tival dinner.

ANCHORAGE PLANE
 ARRIVES SEWARD
 MEETS ACCIDENT

Making it's first flight to Seward and at the same time marking the first time a land plane has landed on the new Seward aviation field, the Anchorage No. cabin biplane of the Anchorage Air Transport, Russell H. Merrill, pilot, alighted at 1O:30 yes terday morning. And in less than an hour, an accident occurred, due to combination of circumstances, which necessitates a delay in hopping off for the home-hangar, of at least two days.
 Short time after it's arrival Pilot Merrill took to the air again with three passengers, Captain R. R. Guth- rie, c. E. Orlander, and J. P. Hannon Tn returning from a brief flight over the bay and mountain tops, Merrill brought his plane down in a perfect landing but due to the defective tail- skid, broken Saturday on Lake Kenai, the plane veered, just prior to com ing to a complete stop, into the auto truck of Andy Novak. One of the wings acted as a lever turning the nose of the plane directly into the side of the Ford car of George Ben uit, and at the same time one of the understands for the skis. snapped off, tipping the plane ever to rest upon the uniniured wing.
 The combination of circumstances consisted of the autos being on the aviation field proper instead of park ing on the roadway or on the other side of the road, away from all pos sible danger; the tail-skid which was not in good working order, and to

the short runway.
 It is understood that Pilot Merrill in phoning to headquarters of the ac- cident, gave the local field a clean bill of health which everyone was glad to hear Previous to the accident, however, Merrill had said about 60 feet more of runway, would be more desirable and easier in taking off with a load. He had also said previously that the local field was superior to many in the Interior.
 The passengers in the plane hard ly knew of the accident, such was the slight momentom when it struck the autos. There were several more Seward people on hand who had plan ned to be taken up before Merrill re- turned to Anchorage. The accident took all the enjoyment away of the planes arrival but sympathy could not undue what had already happened It is certainty no more cars will ever be permitted on the field again.
 Merrill flew to Lake Kenai yester- day direct from Bethel with load of furs said to be valued at approx imately s10O,0OO, in order to make connections with the Seward train so the furs would be shipped South on the s. s. Yukon which left port Sat- urday night. Included in the shipment were 400 red fox and 100 white fox.
 From Seward Pilot Merrill was to go direct to liamna there to take on board another s1oO,OO0 worth of furs.
 In his flight before the accident with the local residents he took them 10 an altitude of 5000 fest. Fror that height wonderful view was ob- tained of Mounts Elias, Foraker and

recently proposed before the

realized.
Two French engineers have
worked out the idea of an elevated
chute. along which letters can fly
at q terrific speed from Paris to
Lyons and Marseille. The small
elevated railway will be from sixty
to eighty feet high in the air and
supported by steel posts every rev
hundred feet. The mail Will be de-
posited in containers resembling Tor
pedoes which weight $50 pounds.
The inventors say their scheme
is not only practicable but inexpen-
sive costing about $4,000 q kilo-
meter to erect the chute, much less
than a railroad line.

900 900 more letters and cards to
