that two in the same family can not
be known by the same title name, is
a Russian officer in the cadet corps.
In Illustration of the advance of
twentieth century civilization into the
Out-of-way rural districts of Russian
territory, Count Gorske tells of an
unique happening that befen him and
his brother while on a hunting trip in
Russian Siberia
freed by Wolves.
After Quitting at a small city near
the Siberian border. they started out
into the timber country in hunt for
wolves, bear and deer. They had SUI
ficient experience in this line to do
them for some time, for they were
kept freed for three days by howl
ing pack of wolves. BY discharging
their firearms they were able finally
to scare the wolves away. On getting
down from their perch in the trees
they made their way to a distant farm
house. On arriving there they were
given food and made as comfortable
as the limited conveniences of the
house would permit.
After finishing their meal they
lighted their cigarettes and the host
was amazed at the burst Of flame that
tctlLlc from TIE GLQ OF the small SUCK
Of wood. 1t was beyond his compre-
hension. He had lived in this out-of-
way place al his life, and during all
those years had used the flint and
steel method for making fires.
Several years before this time the
railroad had penetrated the vast ex-
panse of territory, within days drive
of his farm, but he had never seen the
two shining bands of steel and had
never set eyes on a railroad train In
his life.
From here Count Corske and Count
KOrolenkO will go to the Alaska u-
kOn-PaCific exposition at Seattle and
may return to Salt Lake before leav-
ing westward for a trip around the
world and to their home in Russia.
Count GOrske is greatly impressed
with Salt Lake. and stated yesterday
that if he could find a farm Of several
thousand acres that appealed to him
he might come to this state to make
his residence

Count Paul Gorske and Count Gott-
hebe Korolenko, two Russian noble
men and writer's of considerable re-
pute, are visitors in Salt Lake. They
will remain here about two weeks, dur
ing which time they Will study the
irrigation methods of the state and in
cidentally take in the various places Of
interest in and about the city.
Count GOrske enjoys the friendship
of Count Leo Tolstoi, the great Rus
sian writer, and speaks highly Of the
great nobility of character Of this
greatest OF ali Russian literary men.
Il have visited Count TolstOi's large
farm several times. He is loved by
the Russian people, and not without
good cause. Simple in his habits and
unassuming in manner, he is a man
easily approached and one in whom 1t
would be natural TO place confidence.
AT one time he sold his large landed
estate, but his wife didn't like the idea.
What viii you do nOw?' she asked.
How about the many people you gave
employment at better wages than they
could get elsewhere? In response to
her plea he again acquired a number
Of big farms in various parts Of Rus
STA. At the present time County Toll
stoi is perhaps the richest land owner
outside of the car, Of course, in all
Russia"
Has Big Farm.
Count Gorske is one Of the Russian
farmer counts. he owns a farm Of
about $4,000 acres and makes his resi-
dence in the nearest large city, Pol
taYa. Seven years ago he introduced
irrigation on the farm, and now it
yields prolihcally in potatoes, barley,
wheat, oats and fruit.
On this estate he employs about
ninety men and their families the year
around. The farm labOTers occupy
houses on the farm and are provided
for by the owner. In addition to board
and lodging, the men geS eighteen rou-
bles, equal to about So American
money, per month. The women. who
do the milking and lighter work, get
ten rOubles a month.

Albany, n Y, Aug. 90-"Direct nom

greatest gold brick that was ever handed
to a confiding people" was the declara-
ton here today Of Assemblyman Robert
J. Conklin of New York City, a member
of the special legislation committee ap-
pointed TO investigate direct primaries.
.'The people of New York state" he
said. have no idea of the political anarchy
that exists in the middle western states.
Direct nominations have driven parties
entirely out Of existence in many COM
muniries
'Tn Wisconsin there is no longer a Re
publican party and a Democratic party.
There are several factions, the most
prominent Of which are the stalWarts
and the half-breeds. The latter are the
followers of LaFollette and the former
are his opponents Those who were at
one time Democrats have disappeared
and gave gone into the Republican party,
so-called, to vote at the primaries There
are no longer party principles, but only
personal views of faction leaders.

fairs exists in Iowa and Kansas
