can corsuls. and Americans bound for
Russia on legitimate errands are,
therefore. facing the choice of either
violating the Washington ruling or
staying out OF the country.

partment ruling an attempt TO carry
their passports into Russia without
American sanction. the officials of
Letvia and other border states will re-
fuse to permit them TO leave Riga or

ago in the sagebrush country of cen
tral Oregon along the supposed route
of a railroad that failed to appear, are
being turned back into acreage by re-
fusal of owners Of the city lots to pay

Between the years of 1909 and 1914
when the railroad was expected, am

town-sites and sold lots to people in
many parts of the United States.
Statesmen took few dollars down and
payments as low as fifty cents week
for the land.
When the railroad failed to appear.
most Of the land owners became dis
couraged and abandoned their proper
~. Now county officials are busy turn
ing the towns back into acreage. In
some cases the owners are still paying
and will realize on their investment
and courage if the railroad ever does
build.
In the town of Imperial, one OF the
mirage" cities, all but three PEI. cent
of the assessed valuation as gone de-
linquent. The townsite was worth S.
