REPORTS CONDITIONS VERY
 TIGHT ON COAST

Prices in the States have not slumped to such an extent as Alas kans have been led to believe, ac- cording to word received from E. L. Davis, better known to Interiorites as "Scow" Davis. In a letter ad- dressed to Fowler & Morris, the old time trader says, under date of Seattle, November P, that the people of that city have not noticed and material reduction as yet "How did it come to be circulated in Ne mana that prices had dropped around here?" he asks and, continuing, he writes: "Sugar, of course, dropped. Just what it was a year ago this time. Flour has dropped in Minne- apolis-very little here-not one cent on the loaf yet, and the in- crease in freight rates more than offsets the reduction.
 Eggs were quoted at S1 cents wholesale today. Was down on West ern avenue this morning. Not a case left early in the afternoon. Eggs retail at from 86 cents to 90 cents a dozen and are very scarce.
 Vegetables. including spuds and onions, very cheap. Spuds jumped this week from s7.50 to $1O per ton on Western avenue. Best Yakima are quoted at $50. The farmers are trying hard to boost prices on spuds. They are holding in like the wheat growers but wheat is weakening in spite of them, and SC is hay and also oats.

CACHE CREEK DISTRICT
 IS QUIET THIS WINTER

Alex Stewart, oldtimer of the Fairbanks and Ruby districts. ar rived from the coast this week on "a several-day visit, it being his in- tention to start back over the hill" about Monday. Mir. Stewart has been in the Cache creek district for some time past, but came to Nenana direct from Anchorage, where he spent four days. It is rather quiet in the Cache creek dis trict this winter, he says, but con- siderable activity is expected next summer The work going on this winter consists chiefly of the move ment of supplies to the diggings and some preliminary work on the road which the Alaska Road com mission has undertaken to build. Mir. Stewart says that he heard while at Anchorage that a number of railroad workers had been laid off lately in the Anchorage division, the curtailment being attributed to shortage of commission funds. He did not hear anything of any labor trouble. except that among the Matanuska coal miners, which was settled some time ago.

America this summer would pour across the waters in
mighty stream to help feed these starving populations.
But as pointed out by ono Of the best known New
York Stock Exchange firms in its weekly analysis it
Is found that 50 far from feeding the world the hun
CRY world is pouring foodstufs into AmericaI During
the seven months Of this year ended with July imports
Of foodsufs into the United States increased by more
than $780, 100000 over the corresponding period
Of 1919, while exports Of foodstufs declined about
$50O,O0o.oOo To put the case in another way, the
imports Of foodsfs during these seven months amount
ed to $2.157.090935, while exports of foodstufis
were only ST, 8,094.70O The world sent the Y.
S. billion dollars worth Of foOdstufs than the
u. S. sent abroad. For the month Of July the i'm
portations of food reached total of $232,000,O00
while the exports were only $l76,000,000.
The reason1 1t is not far to seek. Americans have
had an enormous purchasing power the people of i'm
poverished Europe none. Exports and imports move
in response to economic laws not sentiment The best
market now is America. People with money get the
goods That may seem hard. but It is true. And so
the world witnesses the spectacle Of America with
plenty Of food yet buying more abroad

THE NEW RUSSIA.

WIHEN Bolsheyism falls in Russia Of four
w transition periods will follow. The Soviet sys-
TEN may be overthrow and still leave Lenine, rosky
and their chief subordnates in power. If the Soviet
leaders become convinced the tide is running over
whcImngly against them, they may invite the anti
Boshevki into the government to form coalition min
istry. This would be orderly revolution
If the Bolsheviki expelled from power progres-
sve, orderly development would still result if the oppo-
stion parties could Immediately take the govern
ment TO do this, the revolution would have to be a
carefully organized affair.
If Bo!shevisn falls because Of sudden exasPera-
ton of the popuace, driven to unbearable, frenzy
through Soviet ncompctency, state of complete an
archy may follow with excuses evil than those
Of the French Revolution
Should the overthrow of the Bolsheviki result from
sheer nanton, government would cease to operate
nationally and would become strictly local. Russia
would become vast series of village, town and city
administrations, each doing as it liked.
Eventually, however, whether anarchy reigns for a
time or national government vanishes, Russia will find
herself A great democracy is destined to occupy that
part of the earth. What Immediately follows BOshe-
vsm will be only stage in the evolutionary process.
