RAY BROWN HERE

Scene of Recent Disturbances
Representing GARRISON Com
pany. Selling Almost Entirely to

(From Tuesdays Daily.D

Ray Brown, former we'll known
Watertown boy, reached here yester-
day from Vlladivostock, Siberia, max
ing the trip in twenty eight DAYS. He
will remain here a week visiting
friends and then go TO Detroit, where
after a short visit he and his mother
will go to New York, where they
will visit relatives and possibly he
will return to Detroit to remain.
Mr.. Brown rather thinks he will
return to the Far East, but will decide
definitely in the course of three or
four months. Mr.. Brown is repre-
senting the Clarkson Co a concern of
mammoth proportions and in their
interests has travelled very extensive
ly during the three years he has
represented them IN China, Japan,
New leland and Australia, he at pres
ent enjoying a twelve months vaca-
ton. To show the extent of the opera
tions of the concern he has been with,
it will be of interest to know that
they operate saw mills, brick yards,
granite works, iron mines, machine
shops, refrigerator works, construction
works, coal mines. They also oper-
ate their own steam ships, barges and
tugs. In fact they are represented
in nearly every line Of trade carried
on IN that far away country. Mr..
Brown was III Viladivostock during
the recent riots and strikes, details of
which have filled the American press
and the horrors of which have been
published the world over. Mr.. Brown
reports that when be left the country,
all was quiet and the government had
the upper hand and would no doubt
continue in control. He aso says
that conditions there are fast
changing, as foreigners and foreign
capital are going in there rapidly
and looking for investment. In fact
in upper ManchurI, the Russians are
selling their land and are actually
it for sale. The concern
with which Mr.. Brown is identified
owes its phenomenal success largely
to the fact that it sells its products
almost entirely to the government.
When asked as to the treatemnt of
the Americans there, Mr.. Brown
stated that it was very good. In
fact, he said cur people were treated
far better than those from any other
country.
