A RUSSIAN SOLDIERS PAY.
1t Takes Him Some Time to Get Rich
According to a Former Soldier.

According to a Former Soldier.
The following interview, given to
Portland paper by Martin Markeson.
formerly an officer in the Russian army
and we'll known in Spokane.is Of inter.
est in view Of the present state Of hos.
tilities between Japan and Russia.
''In the Russian army" Mr.. Marke.
son is quoted as saying, "a private
draws but 90 cents a quarter, corpo-
raj $1.lO. a sergeant "a. 80 and first
sergeant about $25 year. and ont Of
this money the men must keep their
shoes polished and their clothes ne It.
"The ratiOns consist of two meals
day. The men are allowed three
pounds Of black rye bread a day and
one half pound Of meat and one quart
Of soup. In the evening all they get is
mush. The bread is issued for five
or ten days ahead. and II the soldier
has any left he takes it into the market
and sells it.
"The only hope that the soldier has
of increa sing his income is by working
for the land barons during the harvest
time, when they are often detailed by
the government to do this work. For
this srevice they are allowed about so
cents day.
''In Russia the mines are owned by
the government, and the barons have
monopoly on the land. A farmer
there considers himself very fortunate
if he is the owner Of from one to ten
acres The poor farmers, both men
and women, work from daylight until
dark for from about 25 to so cents
day. and the farm hand who does not
own any land is very fortunte if he
gets share of the crops and a small
amount of cash.
"The hatred Of the Russians for the
Jews arises form the fact that they are
'alous of the prosperity Of the latter
race"
Mr.. Markeson was formerly a resi-.
dent Of Spok ane, but has recently been
living in Portland. 1t is stated he is
soon to leave for Wisconsin to look af-
ter some property there.

the debarkation of 400 marines and
bluejackets from the Columbia and

Five Riders Thrown.
At one time of the performance. all
i've riders pedal at full speed around a
sianting cage track, seventy laps TO the
nile. Last night while all five riders
were speeding around the cage, the
handlebar on the wheel ridden by the
younger woman of the troupe gave
way and she was thrown off her bi.
cycle onto the track. The riders follow
ing her came with such rapidity that
it was impossible TO stop in time to
avert an accident, and she was STRUCK
by the other four wheels, and all were
thrown and the bicycles piled in a heap.
The troupe pluckily regained their
feet. however, the broken wheel was
TIM own from the cage, and the remain
ing four finished their part OF the pro-
gram.

successful ever held by the National
Guard. While the entries were small In
