assortod by reprcsontutives of
tho cotnpnny thai tho plan to
place tho wliolo prnjoot in the
hind of a coiuuiiUuu of thruo

consequently all now sales, will
moan much harm to tho future
welfare of those? regal ion.
Representatives of tho sottlers
nnd iiiembors of tho board, how
ever, say tho company shou d
complete Its work up to dale
rather than attempt further do
Vi'lrpineiit ttlong now linos
They take tha stand that at pres
ent the system of using money
from sales to eomplelo the work
has been more or less of a fail
ure because lands have been
sold and the work not completed,
while tit tho samo time many
lands on the project have been j
sold for which water is not avail
able. Tho board is also squarely up
against the problem of making a
new contract for itself in con
nection with taking over the
Paisley projoct by the Northwest
Townsito Company. Heretofore
all tho dittlcultioj of tho prosont
board have arisen over contracts
made by past boards, und the
members have assorted that
whenovor a now contract comes
up to thom for signing, they will
know that it is not full of holes
boforo they sign it.
Now they have torn to pieces
and relegated to the background
a contract offered by the North
west Townsito Company and
have made throo efforts to pre
nare a contract of their own
without success. The last con
tract, prepared under direction of
Claude C. McColloch, State Sen
ator from Baker, who Vias been
here for the board during the
consideration of tho reclamation
projects, was completed and sub,
mittod to the board members.
The contract is satisfactory so
far us tho board is concerned, al
though some of the members
consider it too drastic. Treas
urer Kay objects to a clause
which places tho entire control
and management of the project

The contract will be forward

The Thanksgiving thought i
not a new one nor is it peculiar
to our own country. Three
thousand years ago millions of
people gathered in and around
Jerusalem to observe the Jewish
feast of the tabernacle. For
eight days these people ceased
their work to "eat, drink, and be
er, erry."
We find also that the Greeks
held the grandest feast of all the
year in honor of Demeter, the
goddess of the harvest. The Ro
mans, who borrowed most of
their customs from the Greeks,
also held a grand celebration in
honor of the same goddess, '
whose name they changed to
Ceres. They went in ' long pro
cessions to the fields, where
they engaged in rustic sports,
and crowned all of their house
hold gods with flowers. Both of
these feasts were held in Sep
tember. The ffrst Thanksgiving in our
own country was kept by the
Pilgrim Fathers at Plymouth in
1621 for the purpose of thank
ing Almighty God 'or their abund-
ant harvest. During the Revo
lution the Continental Congress
recommended days of Thanks
giving annually. The first Na
tional Thanksgiving was ordered
by this same congress when in,
the fall of 1777 General Bur
goyne surrendered to General
Gates. Thursday, December 18,.
was designated, and, in compli
ance with this order, the army
at Valley Forge duly observed
the day.
Washington, as President of
the United States, issued his
first Thanksgiving Prclamation
in the c'ty of New York on Octo
ber 3rd, 1789, jetting apart
Thursday, November 6tb, for
Thanksgiving.
Since 1863 the Presidents
have alwi ys issued proclamations
appointing the last Thursday in
November as Thanksgiving Day,
but it was not until 1S65 that
this day became in any sense a
national one. In the New Eng
land States this day ranks as
the great annual family festival,
taking the place which in Eng
land is accorded to Christmas..
While the early New Englanders
introduced Thanksgiving Day in
to this country and while their
descendants deserve admiration
for their careful observance of
the day, we all observe it as the
one national festival whiett turns,
on house life. It is a day of na
ture, a day of Thanksgiving for
ine year s mstory. it ts tne one
great festival of our American,
life that pivots on the household.
Ou this day the children, the
grandchildren, the friends and
the strangers gather about the
hearthstones to enjoy the hospi
tality of other loved ones and are
made a bit better, more thought
ful and thankful to the All Wise
Father who has bestowed these
blessings in abundance.
