APPEAL FOR AID
20, 100000 IN RUSSIA ARE STARV-
ING TO DEATH.

F. LONDON. April 1o.-Dr. Kennard. COM
missioner of the Society of Friends, who
was sent to investigate the Russian famine
writing from Samara, in the heart of the
famine district, under date of April 3,
appeals to the United States and Great
Britain to promptly send help. He says:
There are 20.OO00GO people distributed
who without aid, cannot live to see an
other harvest"
In Samara alone. the commission adds,
thousands are dying and 10000 are starv-
ing OF the latter only 80, 100 are getting
relief a dole of one meal in twenty-four
hours.
Dying by Degrees.
AS a meal is only two pounds OF bread
and a bowl of soup, this, according to the
commissioner, means dying by degree@
Even this meager dole in countless in
stances is divided among many mouths
There are only sufficient funds on hand
to last until May !. whereas money will
be needed until the end of July, when the
harvest will bring relief.
The commissioner especially appeals for
canned milk. He says there are 100000
children in Samara province who have no
milk and are forced to eat coarse bread
made of acorns, powdered wood and cucuIn-
bers resulting in thousands of deaths and
much disease.
In conclusion, the commissioner appeals
to the Anglo-SaXonS for $2..Co 900 TO save
twenty millions of human beings who are
dying lingering deaths from starvation.

Two men passed out of the news
paper field in western Colorado one
week ago this night, who have been
more or less identified with the up
building of this great section of the
state and are worthy of more than a
mere commonplace announcement up
on their retirement. The gentlemen
are Messrs. Edwin Price and A. c.
Newton.
The paper with which they were
connected for many years has been
for the major portion of the time of
its newspaper life, a weekly publica-
tion-the Weekly News. That paper
was established in 1888 and for many
years has been a factor In the mater
lal uplift and growth of this whole
section. 1t is unnecessary to go into
its history, but It was and has been
all the years of their connection
Herewith a model in weekly Journal
ism.
More than two years ago the gem
tlemen began the publication of a
daily in connection and this has fin
ally passed from their hands by sale.
Western Colorado journalism has
lost two good newspaper men by the
retirement of Messrs. Price and New
ton.
For a considerable period. perhaps
ten years, Edwin Price has not been
connected actively with the publica-
tion and in speaking of the News of
later years 1t must be thought of par
ticularly in Connection with A. c.
Newton, the active editor and man
ager. Mr.. Newton put his whole life
into the management of the paper
During that very distressful period
in this state of the latter nineties IL
took some nerve to publish any sort
OF a newspaper. 1t was a case of
bread and butter and for the most
of the time bread without butter for
many editors and 1t was then that Mr..
Newton proved his capacity to solve
the riddle of publishing a newspaper
with very inconsiderable amount of
money. He had the satisfaction, If
satisfaction there could be, In know
ing that there were many others tray-
cling in the same leaky financial boat
during those lean years.
Publishing a newspaper with ample
capital behind one to provide for the
necessities, with little care whether 1t
pays expenses for the time being or
not, is not much of a riddle in news
paper management. But to dig the
money from your bone and muscle and
