Thanksgiving Day last year
brought scant fare and little ap-
parent reason for celebration in the
farm homes of the ITO families in
Michigan, Minnesota and WlScon-
sin.
Fair Weather Ahead
Today, after seven months as
modern Twentieth Century pioneers
determined to wrest a living from
the soil of lush Matanuska Valley,
they envisioned fair weather ahead
This year, the geese and chickens
had to be brought in from outside
the valley colony. Next year colon
lists anticipate having ample poultry
and other fare Of their own produc-
ton on the dinner menu.
Settling the new country has not
been without hardships. Mosquitoes,
quarrelsome transient workers and
fellow coloniSts and confusing adj
ministrators all caused grumbling
and discomfort. Thirty families re-
turned to the United States.
Thanksgiving Program
In order to assure every family a
genuine feast today, the Alaska
Rural Rehabilitation Administration
voted each an extra IS allowance ut
the commissary Several families
already had exhausted their allow
ances, reduced from $65 to $50 a
month.
The thermometer lowered near
zero and snow on the ground out
side was glazed hard as the colonists
made their way to the community
building and to little schools of the
valley to join IN Thanksgiving pro-
grams.
Religious services were conducted
for members of both Catholic and
Protestant faiths.
The Matanuska Grange, the only
branch Of the group in Alaska, spon-
sored a dinner for its members.
Mr., and Mrs. c. E. Rundell, for
merly of Duluth, Mimi, had added
reason to celebrate the day. A son
was born on Thanksgiving eve.

'sTo the Stars by
Hard Ways

TN KANSAS, that rugged state which
bears on it's shield the motto, "Ad
astra per aspera," William Allen White,
a great editor, discovered Jennie Owen,
a born writer. And when she brought
out her first book, this is what he said
of her in his Emporia Gazette:
Jennie Owen was conscientious,
hard working Normal student who
came out of the sixth district in north
western Kansas with a burning desire
for education and a knack of writing.
She became the Gazettes Normal re-
porter. The first item she turned in
was a four-line story about youth
in the Normal school asking Lizzie
! Wooster, the anti-cigarette crusader,
| if she had match.
"After that Jennie Ovens copy was
prize copy in the office. She became a
star reporter. We put her upon every
good story she had time to do and she
did them all we'll. She went to Ell
Dorado to work for Rollo Clynler on
the Times. Her stuff has been reprinted
all over Kansas.
Nov she has book out. 1t is called
Fodder -. a score or two of short
stories of pioneer life; the short and
simple annals of the pioneer family
They are more than short stories: they
are marvelously good sketches. Then
brevity approaches genius"
OF which appraisal, if you now men
ton it, Jennie Owen Worriedly says:
Eyes, Mr.. White likes my book. But,
well-he and some other people whose
opinion respect; they like what I do
now all right, but they think-they've
been after me-to be more realistic.
They think I ought to write more
about the hard, harsh side of it.
Maybe it's so.' (Her voice is UNI
mistakably Kansan-a pleasant fiat
huskiness through it, sharpening IT'D
Maybe / ought to write more about
the sharp, ugly side of things. But
have to get out every day and meet
the people I write for, and I know
what they want me to write. They
want me to write things that will carry
them back to the time when they were
young. We're all backward-loo lockers.
And time softens the edges of things.
The bitter part fades out. All you re-
member is the beauty of it.
Jennie Owen is forty-one years old.

shop. He was a wonderful help to me.
"The first thing, when got out of
school and into newspaper job they
made me society editor. just couldn't
do it. So they put me in charge of
country correspondents and gave me a
column. The same sort of column I
do here-rural "reminiscences mainly.
And that's what make my books
from-reminiScenceS

about things until after I have been
remembering them for long time.
Even then, writing is the hardest work
in the world for me. L get streaks
when everything do is awful. And
the things that I like best, write
them, sometimes, when feel meanest.
I remember when was plugging away
on White Roses'-I had headache,
and the girl across the hall was read
ing aloud to another girl The lleroine's
name. in the story was Jennie. It just
about drove me crazy. But I had to
have it for the next days paper, so
got it DONE
Here it is:
White roses, sweet silent reminders
of carefree days, are on our desk to-
day They grew in Mrs g. A. Kitch7s
rose garden. To us, white roses have
rare association. Our girlhood days
were in close proximity to country
graveyard on high, windswept hill
The soil was poor and only the hardest
shrubs thrived. But every spring, UNI
daunted by recurring failures, loving
|, hands would plant flowers which would
wither and die when the rains ceased.
"Eventful days were those when we
spied a team, unhitched and tied to
wagon on the graveyard hill, for we
knew some one from a distance had
come to clean up their graves and
plant flowers. They would come down
to our house at noon to water their
horses and eat their lunch under the
shade of the cottonwoods Mother
would ask them in to dinner and, if
they declined she would send us out
with pot of hot coffee And usually
we accompanied the visitors back to
the graveyard in the afternoon.
"And so we learned the tragedy of
the white roses. White roses were COW
eted above all others for the graves
OF little ones who had died. Not a
mother, as we recall, but laid down
root in the fall and coddled and
coaxed until she had sprout of plant
in the spring. But she watered the
bush with her tears in vain. The fra
gile white roses were not hardy enough
to withstand the hot winds and drouth
and the long, hard winters
"The sod has encroached upon the
grave of old Man Woods who was
self-appointed caretaker of the grave
yard from the time his girl wife died
until the grim Reaper's scythe cut him
down-a period of more than thirty
years. The scrawny little cedars have
grown to giant trees. The lilac bushes
and the purple flags proclaim spring
with their fragrance and beauty But
there are no white roses.''

principle diversions of the daily newspapers. Few
efforts of the human race toward progress take
form that they do not seize the opportunity to
damn with sly ridicule Or bitter nvective.
The project which during the past few months

Every nation in this world-with the exception
OF the United States-has carried on steady, sucz

such program has led to the development of a

history this governments attempt at colonization
of fertile area is hardly as foohardy as some
would have us believe.

WAITING AT THE GATE

Development in the immediate future of the
Columbia valley basin is glimpsed in Senator
Pope's proposed Columbia Valley Authority bill
and the survey of this to be made by the Pa
ciic Northwest Regional Planning Commission
this summer.
Secretary Ickes has authorized the commission
to make study of the basin and report by No
vember on:
The future Of the Columbia river basin; the de-
STABILITY and means of setting up an organization
such as is contemplated in Senator Popes eva
bill; and the results of marketing survey of the
region in conjunction with other federal agencies
including the federal power commission, reclama-
ton bureau and army engineers.
President Roosevelt is man of his word and
more. At Coulee Dam last August he made his
listeners promises which he has since made every
effort to consumate. Senator Pope, author OF the
eva bill, asserts that President Roosevelt alone
is responsible for the proposed survey, having
urged the board to authorize the investigation.
Future development of the Pacific Northwest
and OF the entire West will naturally be CEN
tered in the Columbia river basin. Unlimited pow
er resources, timber, minerals and farm land con-
stitute an area that at some future day will be one
of the richest in the world. The Inland Empire of
the present day will be but a small piece of the
agricultural and industrial empire that will be
ated when this area is fully developed
An intelligent, comprehensive survey of the
needs and possibilities of such development is
necessary step in any future program to meet the
westward agricultural and industrial movement in
this nation.
With the exception of the sea-coast, proportion
ately little progress has been made in the regions
west of the Rockies since the influx Of the pioneers
and the subsequent efforts of their descendants
Our country has faced it's dawn patiently while
the eastern sections of the United States have
caught up to the acme of their industrial and ag-
ricultural potentialities.
The West-particularly Washington, Oregon
and Idaho, which many fasteners seem to con-
slider still territories-is about to be redscovered
and to come into the manhood for which it has pa
tently waited
1t watches hopefully for the word of this COM
mission, to which it will be host this summer and
whose final impressions can condemn it to further
delayed adolescence or bring about one of the
greatest eras of development this nation has seen.
