RUSSIANS ARE WANTED

SPOKANE, August 23-Plans for bringing a colony of Russian peasants to Douglas county for the resettle- ment of abandoned wheat farms there were outlined at recent meeting of the land settlement committee on the Spokane chamber of commerce.
 Many fertile farms, it was declared, some possessing valuable improve ments, had been abandoned because of crop failures and could be secured with little or no payment down and made to pay for themselves in few years. w. H. Miller told the committee that these farms would produce pum- per crops had they been planted this year.
 MT Miller expressed the belief that mortgage men handling land would assist the settlers in securing cattle and other stock and that they would not require any payments on the prin- cipal until at least five years after taking possession. Now the committee is seeking further information about peasant people in Russia, Austria and Czecho- -Slavakia.

RESIDENTS OF LAKE RENAL
 COMPLAIN RIVER IS BLOCKED

Blockading of the lower Kenai riv- CT by the nets of fishermen is respon- sible, according to residents of Lake Kenai for very few salmon reaching the lake this season. Where salmon formerly were caught by the thous- ands, the intensive fishing in the mouth of the river by the cannery crews, have resulted in fish being practically stopped from ascending the stream.
 Thomas Donohoe, at Quartz creek, has put up about 16O salmon this sea son, where formerly thousands were caught for local use.
 we attribute the scarcity of fish to the cannery being loca1sd far up the river from its mouth," said one prominent resident. Tt is impossible for fish to escape the nets of the fish ermen, and those caught here this year are all scared by nets"

FINE ROAD BEING BUILT
 FROM MOOSE PASS TO INLET

The road from Moose Pass to Hope is described by residents as a "regu- lar boulevard" and one that can be travelled by autos as we'll as sleds and pack trains. The Forestry Serv- ice is being praised by the local resi- dents for the splendid work being done.
 After the completion of this road it is hoped to connect it with the Lake Kenai road by way of Quartz creek, crossing the river at a point near Coopers Landing, good bridge be- ing already constructed at the can yon. This would give residents both winter and summer communication by auto stage or sleds.

FORESTRY SERVICE DOING
 FINE WORK AT LOWER RENAL

The Forestry Service has done con- siderable work around lower Kenai and Skilak lakes, the roads and trails being in excellent shape, and great convenience to residents and travel CTS. A trail has been constructed from Snug Harbor on the lower end of the lake, to Cooper's Landing, on kenai river, where it intersects with fine road leading to lower Skilak lake, or to the edge of the Forestry reserve, at which point it is hoped the Road commission will start in on a road to Kenai.
 This road is one of the most impor- tant in the division, as it will allow Cook Inlet residents to reach the rail road thru the winter months, at time when the inlet is frozen over. It is stated there are about 800 per sons served by this road.
