The Observers do not believe Kolchak
Is consp.ring TO restore the monarchy, as
some OF his opponents charge. They look
upon the Ko!chak Government as tho
only group Offering hope OF a solution.
The correspondent visited the churches
In Omsk during the services Saturday
night and found them all crowded. The
Cathedral was overlooking. Most of the
worshipers were men, and all were
standing quietly at prayer.
Just as along the 1000 miles Of the
Trans-Siberian Railway. so at Omsk the
masses of the Russian people apparently
crave only peace and order, opportunity
to obtain the necessities OF lie and n

I want to tell you just a little
about this little town of Evarts,

Louisville, Ohio. l ,diana, Virginia
Tenn, and some from Europe
and lots from Rockcastle county,
and practically from every state.
All seem to enjoy these high
mountains and deep valleys. |
don't think there is any danger
of freezing this winter as this
place is surrounded by large coal
operations. There are only three
Ford cars here in Evarts. l
guess If you should be in Jupiter
you would see a Ford car there.
We have had a Bank organized
