to be forced to withdraw to Moscow.
Admiral Kolchak's Siberian army
continues it's movement westward to-
ward the Volga, and it is expected
that the cities of Viatka and Samara
will fall into their hands soon. The
Bolshevik forces there are apparent
ly incapable of checking the orderly
well-organized advance from the east.
With Kolchak threatening the val
ley of the Volga and Udenitch men
acing Petrograd; with Kiev in the
hands Of anti-Bolshevik troops, and
with Kolchak's northern army moving
rapidly toward the line of commune
cation between Moscow and Archan-
gel, the Bolshevik military situation
seems extremely precarious.
Disregarding the recommendation
of M. Zinovieff, governor of Petro-
grad, Nikolai Lenine, the Russian
Bolshevik premier, recently has
been releasing virtually all political
prisoners there, in an effort to show
that the government is becoming
more tolerant. One result of this
step, it is believed by specialists, here,
may be to produce leader who will
ultimately organize the opposition to
the present regime.

the danger of successful Bolshevik

J. -.

Bismarck, N. D., July 17.-Prem-
iums payable to the workmen's COM
pensation bureau to provide protec-
tion for injured employees must be
repitted in full at the beginning of
the year when assessed and cannot
be strung out over the year and
paid in monthly or quarterly INSTALL
ments, rules Assistant Attorney
General Albert E. Sheets in response
to a request for an opinion.
~ The annual premium of some en-
plovers Of labor, notably, the Rus
sell-Miller Milling Co., which will
pay $4,000 per. annum, will, be
very high and it had been suggested
that these payments might be made
in small installments which would
relieve the burden to some extent.
Assistant Attorney General Sheets
holds that the law is specific in re-
1quiring that these payments be
made annually, and that premiums
must be remitted in a lump sum at
the beginning of each fiscal year.

MONTANA IS. DRY
7. SAYS /. c. OLSON

:, H. C. Olson and children return
ed on Thursday morning Of last
week from Mildred, Mont, where
they went a week before to see the
country and, also bring back / Mr..
Olson's mother, who will stay here
until after harvest, and may decide
to- stay all winter. While on the
trip the Olsons stopped at Miles
City and saw the big annual round
up which was very exciting and in
teresting. It was the real thing
in bareback riding of wild horses,
roping cattle and riding wild steers
bareback. There was none of that
tame work to be seen at wild west
circuses, but men were risking their
lives every minute for the amuse-
ment of the thousands of people
present. Every moment was full Of
thrills, and Mr.. Olson says he nev-
er4 enjoyed seeing anything more in
his life than he did this roundup.
During the entire, trip Mr.. Olson
says he didn't see anything, that
looked like even fair crop after
he left Burke county: The. farther
west he went the drier the ground
