GLENDENNING REPORTS GOOD
CROP THROUGHOUT ALBERTA

H. G. Glendenning, who has exten-
sive land holdings in the Champion
district in Alberta, arrived at home
Monday evening, after spending the
summer and fall in Alberta. He
states that he had a good crop of
wheat and that the Alberta crop gen
orally was the best in a number of
years, the average for the province
being given as % bushels. While the
price of wheat is not high, running
about the same as here, the land in
vestment is smaller and the cost of
operating lighter, so that the farmers
this year received sufficient money to
pay expenses and those who are in
debt had some money to apply on
their indebtedness. The weather
has been ideal throughout the en-
tire fall and early winter.
Mr.. Glendenning will spend the
winter with his family at this place

SAY There is

ANNOUNCE CHANGE OF NAME TO

Russia says a news article in the
Daily Mail. ga strange statement
but true" Russia has officially ceased
to exist as a name in the mouths of
those who now control the destinies
of the country.
About three months ago they took
decision which has remained
strangely secret They notified the
various nations with whom they have
trade relations that the title of their
Government was changed from that
of the Russian Soviet Republic to the
stUnion of Socialist Soviet Republics" "
contracted after the Russian fashion
to q. S. S. r. The word Russia"
was dropped completely.
At the same time the emblems up
on their official notepaper, the cross
ed hammer and sickle, were now
surrounded by semi-circle of labels
bearing the names of the various
parts of the country and it's adjacent
territories, wherein independent"
local Soviet Governments have been
formed, such as ukraine" "Azerbai-
JAM" and so on.
But not only these, for the name
Bulgaria was aStOnlShlngly added,
the name of an entirely Independent
Statel
From this it is clear that the au
thorities in Moscow regard them
selves as potentially the masters OF
everywhere, and not at all limited by
the boundaries of Russia. Needless to
say the British Government in its
dealings with the Soviet Government
has never accepted or used this pre-
datory title.
The matter is of some Importance
as undoubtedly England is on the
verge of renewing relations with
Russia officially. The Liberal Par
ty has made it a plank or at the least
a small board in its election plat
form. The Conservative Government
has had the matter under considera-
tion for some time past and was dis
posed to recognized the Soviet Gov
ernment, but with this major differ
ence, that it would only do so after
the Russians had recognized the
principle of pre-Soviet Russian in
debtedness, and had agreed to rein
state or compensate rBitish subjects
in their Russian property.

DEARY COMMUNITY PROS
Porous AND ADMITS 1T

The Press believes that every man
in this community will admit that
times are improving. The wheat
situation continues punk, to be sure,
but it has been that way so long that
folks are getting used to it. With the
crop stored and out of the way the
people are finding numerous ways
to make money. A great many have
gone to the logging camps to work
for wages, others to gyppo. The
wood business here is brisk with
wood selling at $3.50 to 81 a cord.
Quite a number are making and sell
ing wood. Building and remodeling
houses keeps several men busy all
the time. Eggs are SO cents dozen
and butter SO cents a pound, and
there is a market for all farm prod
ucts. This section is extremely for
tunate. Go to the prairie communi-
ties, where there is no industry ex-
cept wheat raising, and you will see
the difference.-Latah County Press.

IDAHO BOURBON FOR
M AD0O; AGAINST FUSION

Boise, Idaho-The democratic par
ty will have a platform and full state
and county tickets in Idaho in 1924,
according to Robert H. Elder, demo-
cratic national committeeman of
Coeur d'Alene, in a statement made
today, denying reports that progress
ives and democrats would fuse on
ticket in Idaho. Mr. Elder is in Boise
for the purpose of comforting with
local democrats before going east to
attend a meeting of the democratic
national committee which meets in
Washington January Is, so that he
may have full knowledge of the gem
eraI sentiment throughout the state
relative to democratic political mat
ters.
Sentiment throughout Idaho, so far
as Mr.. Elder can ascertain, is strong
for w. G. McAdoo as a candidate for
president. The formation of a Nc
Adoo club Saturday evening in Boise
is one of many such clubs that will
be formed in the west or that are in
the process of organization at the
present time.
Speaking of the democratic candi-
dates for governor in Idaho who
might be nominated at the state con-
vention of that party, Mr.. Elder said
that the name of former Chief JUS
tice John c. Rice of Caldwell is being
Plenty of good material
for the governOrship is available in
this state, said Mr. Elder, and any
one of several strong men who could
be named would stand an excellent
chance of being elected if nominated.
