COST OF LIVING IN ODESSA HIGH, "' v0!OV' "NH
 SAYS OBSERVER

BERWICK, Eng-The cost of living in Odessa is about 300 times more than before the war, says Miss Russell, sister of the local food controller, who has just returned from that Russian city. She lived there for two and one-half years.
 A pair of boots, she says, cost from 2,000 to 5000 rubles-a year; salary-and a dress was only to be had at similar ruinous figure. In Odessa the day before she left the English pound was equivalent to 800 rubles, instead of less than 10 rubles as in pre-war days.
 'The Bolsheviki,' she explained, "are Communists. and the principle of the Communists is everything for themselves and nothing for the rest. The others, they, say, have had their turn, and they treat them with ruthless cruelty. Life for the edu- cated people is utterly impossible. Those who have money are fast eat ing into their capital; those who have not are dying of starvation. That also is an expensive business, for the cost of coffins has reached prohibitive figure"

LANE TELLS ALASKA BUREAU
 HOW ALASKA CAN BE HELPED

SEATTLE, Jan. 16.-In a tele- gram addressed to the Alaska bu- reau of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce and Commercial club, which was read at the bureau din- ner last night, Secretary of the h. terior Franklin K. Lane suggested number of reforms that he con. siders necessary to insure the de- velopment of Alaska.
 Foremost was the plan, long ad- vocated by him, of concentrating Government authority in a single board, with broad authority. Such step, he believes, is the key to Alaskan progress and development.
 He also believes that the raising of reindeer and muskoxen should be encouraged, with a view to supply ing the needs of Alaska and the entire Pacific coast ~=. .~-.-.

JUDGE BUNNELl SAYS SNOW HAS
 HELD HIM BACK

Judge Charles E. Bunnell, who IS returning to the Interior by way of the Broad Pass trail, sent a wire to Fairbanks yesterday from Mile 2S0, stating that his arrival at the end of steel south of Nenana would be delayed somewhat because of the heavy trail. He says his party has encountered lot of snow and that travelling, in consequence, has been difficult and slow F.
 When the judge left Anchorage it was believed that he would make the trip across between ends of steel in about six days, which would have brought him to Nenana tomorrow night. But it is considered probable now that he will not get here until late next week. F.. .=
 The judge is due in Fairbanks on January 26 to open court there, but it may be necessary for him 10 order another postponement.

HARRY NEW HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR
 MURDER OF GIRL

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 15.-(De- layed. )-Guilty of murder in the second degree is the verdict re- turned this afternoon by the jury before whom young Harry New was tried for killing the young woman he wanted as his wife. The finding of the jury brings to conclusion one of the hardest fought criminal cases tried in this city in recent years, the best legal talent in the States having been retained by the defendant to try to save him from the penitentiary.
 The guilty man is the son of Senator Harry 5. New, of Indiana, and has occupied a prominent place in local social circles, as we'll as in the East.
 Young New, it will be recalled, drove up to the police station some time ago in his car, and, walking calmly into the office, informed the police that he had killed a girl be- cause she had refused to become his wife. The body of the girl, he said, he had brought to the station with him, and it was found in the auto, as described, when the police rushed to the street to investigate.
 New gave himself up willingly, but made hard fight for freedom when placed on trial.

GOVERNMENT BLAMED FOR HIGH MEAT COST

LONDON.-The British Incorpor- ated Society of Importers planes the government for the present high cost of meat in England. The so- ciety states that the storage ware houses of the United Kingdom are full and that there is no storage space left for cargoes of frozen meat now arriving at the rate of 60,00O tons a month.
 'It is only the fact that the gov ernment is the holder and only seller of this meat that keeps it at its present .exorbitant price," de- clares the society.

'AfasKa ffeeds better steamship 'lines," the wire pointed out. More railroads and mere wagon roads and less red tape"
 The growth of agriculture must depend, the secretary says, largely upon mining. And with the new railroad, the completion of which has been assured by Congress, a rebirth of mining can be looked forward to.
 Alaskan islands, he thinks, should be leased on 20 or 30 year terms for herding grounds for hardy cat tie, and ridiculous laws protecting predatory animals should be re- pealed.
 "The new oil leasing bill," the wire concluded, which I think will soon pass, will enable oil explora- tion and development"

DEMOCRATS ARE UNABLE ID PICK
 SENATE LEADER

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. H. Delayed. )-The Democratic mem bers of the upper house of Congress are having considerable difficulty choosing leader to succeed the late Senator Martin They were in caucus several hours today and. at the end of the battle, the division of support for Hitchcock and Un- derwood remained equal, each of the aspirants for the place having just 19 votes.
 Another caucus has been calleI for tomorrow, when another effort will be made to vote one of their number into power, but there is no assurance that either candidate, in the meantime, can muster sufficient support to land the place -.. =.
 Hitchcock is the choice of the President, it is understood, and will continue to act as leader of the treaty fight, regardless of the action of the caucus

.OLO1|MER PASSES
 IN EASTERN CAMP

L. B. Anderson, better known in Interior Alaska as Captain" An derson, is dead in St. Louis, ac- cording to information received this week by the Eagle lodge at Fair banks from the chief of police of St. Louis. Anderson is reported to have succumbed to gas poisoning in a St. Louis rooming- house.
 Anderson, in the early days, was one of the most prominent mining men in the Fairbanks district. He took out lot of gold on Dome creek, and was principal owner of the Fairbanks Daily Times, having supplied practically all the money with which the Times plant was purchased.
 The paper was used by Anderson to make fight against the Barnette ring, and he ultimately went broke as a result of his anti-Barnette campaign. After leaving Fairbanks, he spent several years in the coastal sections of Alaska, prospecting in search of new stake, but without success.

OREGON HENS CLAIM
 RECORD FOR LAYING

CORVALLIS, Ore.-A dozen hens at the Oregon Agricultural colleges 5 farm at Salem have set new world record for egg production, James s. Dryden, professor at the college, has announced.
 Each of these hens in one year laid more than 300 eggs, the best producing 3sO and two others 323.
 All these hens, according to Pro- lessor Dryden, are of the strain that several years ago developed Lady McDuff, the first hen to have laid more than 300 eggs a year in trap nest. Her record was 3O3.

The Delta independent., 1920-05-28
WATER, WATER, EVERYWHERE,
AND NOT DROP TO DRINK

1t was most incongruous situation
the first two days of the week, that
with millions of gallons of water
hourly flowing down the Gunnison riv-
er. overflowing the banks and inundat-
ing hundreds of acres of land, the wa
ter system was upset by heavy
streams at the head of the city wa
ter system and the city was "as dry
as bone for forty-eight hours, so far
as mountain water was concerned.
There were other unusual situations
in connection with the event. In North
Delta the schools were closed on ac-
count of the obnoxious presence Of
flood waters from the river: in Delta
the schools were closed because Of the
conspicuous absence of drinking wa.
ter.
Town people rushed madly to the
country to obtain a few gallons of wa
ter which had been previously pur-
chased and hauled from the city at
stipend of cents a barrel.
A crew of men went up early Sun
day morning-or rather, two crews
one working on the Dirty George line
and one on the Doughspoon. The res
ervoir was filled at that time. but by
Monday morning at o'clock the sys-
tenn was completely cut off. remaining
so until 10 o'clock Tuesday night. An
unfounded report started and rapidly
gained ground Wednesday, to the ef-
feet that the water would be again
shut down. but this proved to be
only another one of those wild, ire
sponsible rumors started by someone
and eagerly caught up by an excitable
public.
One break occurred about eighteen
miles from the city. caused by a
flood from the breaking of the Daisy
reservoir into Oak creek on the Dirty
George line. Almost simultaneously a
heavy rock slide struck the Dough
spoon line in the Cedars nearer the
city, cutting that off.
There is an old saying that I'VE
never miss the water till the well
runs dry" and we never appreciate
good water and modern conveniences
till we had to beg. borrow or steal. or
worse still. carry seep and waste wa
ter from a ditch.
| While the accident was of serious
Inconvenience to the popuiace. # was
lust as unfortunate for the city OH.
cials. and in view OF the terrible sit
uation which greeted them. they are
| to be commended for their work in
getting the water through as soon as
they did.
