It was on this scene that Stmbol and Tarzan came
at the same moment Moving ever silently,
the ape-man had remained hidden In the middle
foliage, whence he looked down upon the tragic
scene beneath him. At once he understood the
disaster that had overtaken the gorilla. Then he
saw Stnbol raise his rifle, intent upon bagging two
royal snecnnens with a single shot.

WASHINGTON ISSUED FIRST NATIONAL
 THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION.

The custom of the President of the United States issuing annually Thanksgiving Proclamation can be traced back to the time when George Wash ington at the helm of the Nations affairs On November 26 (the same day on which Thanks giving fell this year) 1789, President Washington proclaimed for the first time a National Day of Thanksgiving, thereby setting precedent for future Presidents
 Celebration of Thanksgiving Day in America informed by the United States George Washington Bicentennial Commission be traced back to the earliest days of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. From there the custom spread to all parts of the United States.
 Washngtons first National Thanksgiving Pro- clamation met with objections When Elias Boudnot, September 25 1789, introduced reso- lution in the House of Representatives, That a joint committee of both Houses be directed to wait upon the President of the United States, to request that he would recommend to the people of the United States day of public Thanksgiving and prayer, to be observed by acknowledging and grateful hearts the many signal favors of Almighty God, especially by affording them an opportunity to establish Constitution of government for their safety and happiness" it met with protest from some of the members
 Representative Thomas Tudor Tucker of South Carolina, argued that it not the business of giving.
 Representative Aedanus Burke, of the same State, thought should not mimic Europe where they made mere mockery of Thanksgiving"
 The objections soon over-ruled and joint committee, made up of Senators Ralph Izard o South Carolina and William S. Johnson of Con- necticut. and Representatives Elias Boudinot o New Jersey, Roger Sherman of Connecticut ano Peter Sylvester of New York, waited on the Presi- dent with its request.
 President Washington compiled and issued his proclamation October B. 1789 calling for a Ma. tional Day of Thanksgiving November 26

Moose Herds Threatened.
Seward GateWaY.)

Hunters and trappers returning from the Kanai Peninsula, report an almost total absence of moose calves this season. also marked scarcity of bull moose On the other hand, they report seeing many cows without calves. In one instance, COW was observed followed by her calf, but apparently in a high state of nervousness.
 The inferences drawn that some predatory animal is making heavy inroads upon the moose calves, and that overhunting of bulls is having a baleful effect upon breeding new stock
 In the absence of figures indicating the number of bulls killed in a given period, but speculate on this feature of the situation On the other hand, the authorities, with regard to scarcity of calves, recall that during the past season bears have deserted the streams and their wonted diet of salmon to seek food elsewhere. Reports also come in to the effect that there is scarcity of berries the natural food of the bear before hibernating time
 The black bear is ordinarily an herbivorous animal and become carnivorous only under stress of hunger and then preferring putrid rather than fresh meat. The woodsmen of the opinion that something has happened to throw nature out of rythm and in the process, one of Alaska's most attractive resources is suffering The fact that several young calves, evidently partly devoured by predatory animals, with portions of the carcass removed some distance from the site of the kill leads to the belief that it is the work of larger animals and not that of the small r-bearing carnivora feeding upon carcasses where death has been natural
 Not only has the condition respecting the bulls on the Kenai Peninsula been the subject of much speculation by big game guides and trappers, but this apprehension has spread to the upper Cook Inlet country, where last season, trapper re- ported having encountered 25 cows before sighting mature bull and at time when the animals are yardng up for the winter.
 The time is propitious for the Alaska Game Commission to dispatch observers into the Kenai Peninsula country to make a careful survey of the situation with view to ascertaining the cause of the reported conditions
 The absence of moose along the railroad and
 in familiar haunts adjacent to Seward serves to bear out the assertion that something has happened to the herd.

Wide-Eyed Bankers.
(New York TimeS.)


 The British Government continues to make re- payments on the big credit it raised in this country shortly before England went off the gold standard and, we learn from New York Times headline Feat Surprises Bankers"
 So many things surprise bankers nowadays! And yet it is only couple of years since people were always being reminded never to make a step with out consulting their bankers, the theory being presumably that bankers knew everything.
 Security prices five times too high by the test of earnings, and the bankers are surprised Security prices come a cropper, and the bankers surprised.
 France, on the edge of bankruptcy few years ago. gets busy and collects two billion dollars in gold, and the bankers the most surprised lot you ever saw.
 China goes from civil war into another and her trade continues to go up and the bankers are surprised.
 The British Tories go into the election expecting majority of 100 and out with majority of 800. and the bankers are surprised.
 In other words the bankers are surprised by very much the same things that surprise aviators garment workers, physicians and surgeons and interior decorators
 The biggest surprise of all is yet to come for the bankers. Some day will walk into the bank and offer to take up his overdue note

GARNER AGAINST NATIONAL
 PROHIBITION.

John Nance Garner, who is to be the Speake of the incoming Democratic National House 0 Representatives, opposed both the Eighteenth ant Nineteenth Amendments. He believed and believes that both go beyond the proper sphere of tn Federal Governments business. He thinks the Stat is the proper authority to consider wet and dr or suffrage problems.
 In an interview given Artst-Writer s. J. Wool1 appearing in the New York Times, MT. Garne said:
 The great trouble today is that we have too many laws. I believe that primarily government has but two functions-tO pro- tect the lives and property rights of citizens When it goes further than that it becomes burden A pretty good Democrat once said that God gave men life and liberty No government should try to deprive men of either of these gifts
 Moreover, in this country there is a grow ing tendency toward too strong cen- traization of government. I opposed the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Amendments and also the Twentieth, which is still being voted on by the States. I opposed these things irrespective of whether I believed in them or not because I think that the States should settle these matters for them selves. Before the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment women voted in number of States; it was not necessary to pass 1t in order for them to have the vote in every State. The same thing is true about Pro- hibition and also about child labor.

WOULDN'T TT BE FINE?

Dry leaders insist that if the Democratic and Republican parties should both go wet it would result in the organization of Prohibition Party that would be stronger than either of the old parties. That might not be bad either It would clear the field for fusion of Democrats ana Republicans into Liberal Party with Roosevelt and Dawes Baker and Shell or Butler and Ritchie or Dawes and David Walsh or some such combination. and certain victory and Prohibition de- feat would follow. contest between Liberals and Prohibitionists would be contest that would mean something. There would be none to say: "The two parties alike as two peas in pod"
 It might be that such breakup would remove lot of hooey from politics. There would likely be no more banal promises to banish poverty and make prosperity permanent condition in re turn for four more years of party control There

Canada Acts.

NCL1clnndll EnqulrerD
 Canada just has convicted eight Communist leaders for belonging to "an unlawful organization and for conspiring against the Government" The men received five and two year sentences to run concurrently, with the recommendation that the men be deported at the end of their prison terms
 The Canadian Royal Mounted Police will hence forth be less than popular with Communist forces Tn Canada for it has been the work of Sergeant John Leopold during the past seven years to find convincing evidence of Communist activity in the Dominion
 As there are several thousand other members of the organization named in Sergeant Leopold's lsts It IS possible that they may turn their eyes and pilgrim feet in the direction of this compacent United States, where an honest Communist may raise practically as much hades as he pleases and so far, without danger of serious consequences to himself or his cult

ALASKA NEWS

New flsh stories are hard to get. Here's one. A skate egg, recently rectangular in shape about six inches wide and eleven inches long and colored like seaweed was recently taken from Wrangell harbor. The egg was turned over to high school students for obser- Vation. When opened, it was found to contain five baby skates att ached to the egg yolk. They were placed in water in a dishpan and soon began swimming around, alive and happy.
