FAIRBANKS TO HAVE
 FLOUR MILL OF OWN

The next industry which will start working in Fairbanks, and which will form the nucleus of future manufac- turing wealth, will be a real flour mill, to cost not less than $15,0OO.
 The farmers of the Interior have been working on this proposition for two years, and last fall they went at it seriously and with business in their eye. They applied to Delegate Grigsby to introduce a bill or get into the ap- propriations bill an appropriation of $15,000 to build a Touring mill and to build it now. They have not as yet heard from Grigsby as to what steps he has taken in the matter, and he has evidently introduced no such bill to now or the telegraph would have told of it. So, leaving nothing to chance, the farmers have gone ahead along those lines, reaching for assur- ances and backing there, provided the government should do nothing in the matter, and it is safe to say that they will have that mill this summer.

The first fatality to be recorded in connection with the grading opera tions in Nenana canyon occurred the other day near Mile 354, when Her. man Nelson, 8 station laborer in the employ of Contractor Ed Lund was in. stantly killed by a blast The unfor- tunate man was decapitated and his right arm was also blown off by the explosion.
 Nelson was engaged in "bulldozing" and had put in shot, which failed to respond promptly. After awaiting results for some little time at a safe distance, Nelson concluded that some thing was wrong, and went back to make an investigation. When he reached the spot the shot went off

POWERFUL DRAMA

''The One Woman" at the Empress tonight, is a powerful drama. The story is of a brilliant young clergyman who becomes imbued with socialistic ideas that gradually lead him to giy- ing up church, wife and. family. He builds a temple of man" and tests his theory of free love-
 Who is the one woman"-the wife he divorced or the woman he took by common law? Who "stood by'' when the storm broke? How far shOuld~a woman forgive?
 It is a play that goes beneath the surface of things, down to the very roots of our social and religious life a play that is peculiarly apt at this time of questioning and threat. It is not a play that will amuse you, but it will make you think.

THE HUNGER DUE TO THE
BLOCKADE.

The chief thing that hurt>us was the
evidence of the hunger in the cities, In
Petrograd more so than in Moscow. The
shops in Petrograd are mostly closed;
many of them are boarded up and make
The streets look ragged and forloln in con-
trast to the glamor of our streets. The
lack of food stuffs and the consequent
hunger is due to the long years of war,
Internal eruptions, breakdown of trans
port, lack OF materials, and worn ont
machinery. The Allies policy of the block
ade and military Intervention is, of course,
chiefly responsible for these things.
The hunger in the towns is in strange
contrast with the seeming prosperity in
the villages. Every landworker has his
own plot and produces his own food. The
surplus he is supposed to sell at controlled
prices to the towns

so long as a great part of the world is
plotting against them, they must have ex-
ceptioal powers to arrest counta-revolu-
tionNries, monarchists, and officers of the
old White Guard who act as agents and
spies for the enemies Of Russian. They
say, owe are surrounded by war, and we
are going to protect the revolution by all
the means possible" The extraordinary
commission is above ordinary law, but its
members assured us that they always give
the prisoners a trial and provide the in
dictment within 81 hours of arrest.
The members of the delegation were
given every opportunity to see the British
prisoners and the concentration camp. The
Soviet representatives pointed out that
they had done no more, 50 far as intern
ing persons of enemy" nationality was
concerned, than was done by the British
government during the war.
THE POLISH OFFENSIVE.
All the Russian people believe that
the Allies and the British Government are
supporting the Polish offensive. Petitions
were frequently presented to us by the
workers in the factories which we visited
asking MS to do all that we can to secur9
the end of the Allies, policy of the blockade
and military intervention, and peace be-
tween Russia and the rest of the world.
The Polish offensive is rallying the people
in support of the Soviet government. The
bulk of the people are not communists,
although great number of those who live
in cities are Even the opponents of the
theory of Soviet government, however,
say that they will do nothing to upset the
present government SO long as the Polish
attack continues.
We saw the executive of the All-Rus-
sian Soical Democratic Party, sections of
the Mensheviks, and u number of profess
sors and such-like people who were neu-
tral. "Give us peace externally, they said,

"rhe result was that the terrible

peasants was such that in some
quarters they offered armed resistance.
But there again the Entente saved us.
AS Denikin advanced the peasant saw
that his behavior towards him was

ANTI -BOLsHEvIKs INTERVIEWED.
BY Ben Turner;

Visits were paid to numbers of Rus
slams holding anti-Soviet views. We went
unaccompanied by any Soviet official or
Bolshevik sympathizer. For interpreters
we were very well placed. A number of
our delegates could speak French and
German, which many of those whom we
interviewed spoke, whilst Mr. Roden Bnx-
ton both understood and spoke consider
able Russia. Where other Interpreters were
necessary we were not limited to Bolshc-
viks. We frequently had Mensheviks 20
act in this capacity.
The reports that Russia is in a con
dition OF savage anarchy are totally I'M
true. The suggestion that one cannot go
about the streets without seeing indicat-
ions of murder and rapine is simply rid
iculous. We could walk about the streets
of Petrograd or Moscow, day or night
quite as freely as one can about the streets
of London.

Gregory Krassin, Soviet Envoy to
London, who has established business
offices in New Bond street and has
been interviewing LLOYD George and
other British government officials with
the aim of establishing commercial re-
lations between Britain and Russia,
has just returned to Moscow. While
the exact reason for his return TO
Moscow is not revealed, it is consid'
cred that mooted details of future
commercial relations have called him

Before he left London, Krassin was

evidence of the strength of the Soviet
Government at the present time.

QUAKERS TO SEND MEDICAL

CHICAGO--Relief will be sent TO
Russia from Chicago by way of the
English Quakers. This announcement,
together with the fact that the United
States Department of State has con
tinously refused to grant clearance
papers to American vessels carving
medical and other relief to Russia, was
made at a massmecting in the Chicago
City Club held July by the Commit
tee on American Relief for Russian
Women and Children.

HAS THE DELEGATION BEEN
MlSLED!

All the stories of organized camou-
flage to deceive us are nonsense No great
er preparations were made for us than
would naturally be made to welcome a
friendly delegation coming to a country
which had been closed for so long to the
outside world. The assertion that the
streets were specially cleaned and hard
ships hidden in order that we might not
learn what the actual conditions are, may
be dismissed as so much moonshine
The Soviet representatives were quite
open and frank and wanted us to see the
worst as well as the best. They made our
work of investigation as easy as they
could. We had absolute freedom to go
where we desired, to see whom we desired.
We were permitted freely to enter mills,
workshops, factories, public institutions,
and private homes.
Many of the delegates had letters of
introduction to persons who were knowli
TO be opposed to the Soviet systenr-mem-
bers of the Social Revolutionary Party,
Mensheviks, intellectuals, and others. The
Soviet representatives were quite hurt
when they were asked if visits could be
paid to these persons. "We place no re-
strictions upon you at all", they replied.
"visit whom YOU like. Ask what questions
You like. There is nothing we want to
hide"

WONDERFUL HEALTH ORGANIZ-
ALTON.
The health organization of the Soviet
government is marvellous. Russia has suf-
ferred terribly from cholera, typhus, small
pox, Influenza, and other diseases. War
always brings ppstilence and famine and
Russia has had them to the full
The BOlsheviks have met these diff
ficulties by herculean measures, despite
the lack Of soap and madical requisites con-
sequent upon the blockade. Notices en-
phasizing the importance of cleanliness
and fresh air are posted everywhere; in
public places, trade union offices; they
are printed on the theatre programs.
"Lice is the enemy of Socialism" one OF
the placards reads. Hot water is compal-
sorily supplied at every station, on the
steamboats,, and il the trains, with faci-
lities for the bathing of contact cases.
Consumptive sanatoria, rest houses, con-
valescent homes, and old age homes with
no workhouse restrictions) are other feat

school children are fed, clothed, and hous-

substantial offices, with good equipment

what has been done and planning what
should be done.
The trade unions have bigger pur-
pose to fulfill under the Soviet system
than here. They take part in the actual
government of Russia as well as in the
government of their respective industries.
The trade unions, separately and col
lectively, fix the hours of labor, the
amount of overtime, and, in consultation
with other departments, the wage basis a
