purchased by the Canadian govern

steps, commences in the spring and
Will continue until all the available
land Is placed under water. There
is only one result to follow, and that
Is the country, which is as fertile and
as desirable as place Of residence
as the country Immediately around
Oroville, will settle up and be placed
under high state of cultivation and

RUSSO-HUN alliance
IS HELD INEVITABLE

(By United Press staff correspondent
Mitau, Oct. 1S.-Colonel Bermondt,
leader Of the newest anti-bolshevik
faction in Russia, today declared a
Russo-G German alliance is inevitable
and limited that America can pre-
vent a future war If she aids imme-
diately in Russian reconstruction.
Nothing can prevent a coalition
Of Russia and Germany" said Ber-
mondt, who formerly was known as
Prince Avaloff.
1--WE are bound to come together.
America ought to see clearly the ad-
vantage of winning Russia's sympa-
thy. She should join this coalition and
aid in Russia's reconstruction, thus
preventing a future war.
America ought to see her moral in
fluence and power upon England,
who is fighting her former allies. The
Baltic is still Russian territory. This
is contrary to the interests of the Eng
Iish, who wish to exploit this area
economically. This attitude prevents
the defeat Of bolshevism.
1--WE are not reactionaries. We con-
slider a constitutional monarchy, such
as England's, to be the best govern
ment for Russia"
Bermondt said he was grateful to
the soldiers Of General Won Der
Go1tz's command for coming to Rus
sia,s assistance.
