missioners for final action on not lat

employed Martin S. Nelson as q spe-
cial deputy for. that week and they
completed the work in time to turn
in the completed report on time.
: According to their statements, this.
classification Job as. done by Lock-
wpod & Blakeslee is the biggest hoax
and fraud that has ever been perpe-
trateds upon the taxpayers of this
county, and it is their opinion that
whoever did most Of this classifying
must have been drugged at the time.
for at any rate the person certainly
did not understand soil or take into,
consideration creeks, coulees, gravel
hills. and so on, and tits quite reas-
o1able to believe that these classiiers
must have done the work at dis
lance. probably from the top of an
elevator with q quart Of "hooch" and
a condemned "spy" glass on hand.
Some land has been classified in a
poorer class than it belongs, but the
majority, of it has been classified too
high. ~.
Mr.. Nelson states that one tract
near Re0SCOne Hdu Deeu CldSS1aSu DIS
part No. 2 land and the balance No.
i grazing, and he says it is impos-
sible to find one acre of either farm
land or No. / grazing land, as it
consists of clay buttes and deep draws
between and hardly a trace of grass
any place, and the only apparent vege-
tation being creeping cedar.
This condition Of affairs does not
surprise us in the least. When the
County Commissioners closed their
eyes and could see no one but high
priced civil engineer, there was no
question of how the work would be
done. We might just as well employ
an average farmer to draw plans and
specifications for buildings or to lay
out roads or build bridges, as to en-
ploy civil engineer to- classify our
farm lands. At that, we doubt if
these ,so-called land classifiers even
knew what sand was, for in dozens Of
instances they classified sand and
gravel beds as first class agricultural
lands.

gret Of Indian carbohydrates they
are keeping their promise. They
have given up hope Of immediate
revolution in western Europe and
re negotiating with capitalist
governments, bargaining and COM
promising to obtain the needed To-

devoting themselves primarily to-
the problem Of economic re0rgani-..

gram must be sacrificed. 80.

June rains may have saved some
Of the Autumn crops that had
seemed lost. On the growth Of
those green stalks more than on
anything else really depends the,
answer to the question, Is Russia
abandoning communism
The only real opposition to the
Bolsheviks inside Russia today is
a Left opposition which, by what
soever name it calls itself, is in
tendency and fact anarchist, and
which, if it succeeded in overtop-
ping the Bolsheviks, could for the
present only plunge the country
into chaos and worse hunger. It
is an opposition which resents
concessions to foreign capitalists,
which rejects the burgeois spe-
cialists who are recognizing some
of the factories and should return
to the system of direct collective
management of the factories by
their workers. A rabidly
-bolshevist engineer said to
me: "Lenin and Trotzky must
stay. They are the only men cap
able Of organizing Russia. They
alone can inspire discipline. In
deed, the Communists are the only
disciplined people in undisciplined
Russia-that is their power"
Mr.. Gannett expresses his own es-
innate of the Soviet leaders thus:
Where Western statesmen look
months ahead Lenin, Trotzky and
Bukharin look years ahead; where
others play checkers, they play
chess. They work out the COM
plicated interplay of economic fac
tors; they care not rap for pres
tige and are ready to abandon any
cherished policy if it prove a fail
ure.
