LENINE'S DEATH IS
 OFFICIALLY TOLD
 IN RUSSIAN CABLE
Continued from First Page)


 ton of foreign goods to satisfy the peasantry, as this would mean "eco- homie disruption
 Lenine's influence in party councils and in the government had been, since his illness, thrown toward in creasing trade relations with foreign governments, and the granting of many concessions to foreign capital within the last two years was due to his influence. In a speech at Moscow in November. 1922, his first public appearance after his illness, he said that Russia would compel the .capi- talistic' countries to come to it.
 We may find it necessary to give a concession he said. Tt is to our advantage. We must be the first in what the allies at Genoa styled Ori- ental bargaining
 Asitated For Reform
 Lenine, Father of the Soviet. and after the revolution the most ardent and implacable advocate of complete naturalization of Russia, was the ini- tiator of the economic reform early in 1922, which gradually brought about revival of business and estab- lishment of more or less stable cur rency to replace the worthless ruble. He constantly urged that the country make use of it's man power and pro- duce at "Pre-War levels'' in order to effect it's rehabilitation from the de- moralization which followed closely after the revolution. Despite his ap- parent change in economic policy, he never deviated from his hope of ulti- mate success of complete socialism" and world revolution that would enthrone his policies in every land.
 I.enine's desire to reestablish his country on stable basis was reveal ed in a message made public early last year, in which he strongly urged measures that would improve the government and life of Russia and enable her to take her place again among the nations.
 His policies toward the resumption of trade without compromise to capi- talism' were advocated by Trotzky who in an address to the All-Russian communistic congress last April de- clared "a concentrated economic of- fensive' to restore trade and indus try without ''surrendering to capital" Acting Premier Kameneff also speak ing for tho premier, urged rehabilita- ton without compromise"
 Choice Of Successor
 With Trotzky eliminated, the so- viet leadership, now that Lenine is dead, seems possible of falling into any one of a half dozen or moro hands. Some indications of the rela- tive strength of the different leaders with .Ahe all-Russian soviets may be found in the number of votes receiv- ed by the candidates for the presid- ing committee of the soviets in an election held day before yesterday.
 A Moscow dispatch on that date ! said Premier Lenine, Leo Kameneff, | the acting premier, NJ. Zinovieff, | chairman of the executive committee of the communist international. M. stalin, a prominent member of the | soviet councils and considered one of the strongest of the present leaders. NJ. Bucharin, editor of Rravda and head of the left wing of the soviet central committee, and M. Kalenin, who had charge of the famine relief work all sreceived more votes than Trotzky, who ranked seventh in a list of forty-seven.

 London, Jan. 22. = The house of lords produced no champion to speak for labor this afternoon when that august body met to hear the official announcement of the Tory downfall, although Lord Haldane, who has been mentioned as possible lord chancellor in Ramsay MacDonald's cabinet, was on the opposition bench.
 Marquis Curzon, the foreign secre- tary. gave the formal notification of the conservative governments demiee and added that he did not know whether there was noble lord on the benches opposite who was entitled or desirous of speaking on behalf of those who were likely before long to undertake the government.
 The lords received Curzon's state ment with dignified silence. as none came forward to say a work for la bor, the house adjourned forthwith.

took steps to sell the mill bonds and
did so, and rushed the completion

it was thoroughly tested by using
power supplied from Grand Forks.
The Mil was put in operation as
soon as completed. 1t was decided
by the Industrial Commission "A man

Effect on CoOperatvcs
For many years the Extension
Department Of the State Agriculture
IA! College together with the State
Department of Agriculture and other
agencies for aiding the farmer has
been speaking and preaching coop
clation. When the Sentinel Butte
Cooperative Mill was organized
many years ago, | was selected as
the first President and held that
office until left the service in
1918. The Mill had about 10 per
cent per annum. On July 10, 1874,
Mr.. i. J. O'Rourkc, now President
of said Cooperative Mill, wrote me
regarding the inquitious competition
made at Sentinel Butte and vicinity
by the State Mill. 1t does seem in
rongruous that after all the agencies
OF tho State have taught cooper
alton and when the farmers would
cooperate to such an extent AS
building n cooperative farmers mill
that the state would organize q
flour industry and send mill prod
ucts to II point where cooperative
mill was operating, selling it at
much less than cost and have the
cooperative mill help pay taxes to
sustain the loss occasioncd by such
distressing competition. The Sen
ti,lel Butte Cooperative Mill has
always met competition Of large
milling, concerns most successfully
and they feel that if the State Mill

paid taxes and was operated as a
commercial concern, for profit, or
at least not ut loss, they would
court any legitimate competition.
but that would be time for the state
to stop talking cooperation.
State Buys Flour
IL am of the opinion that as a
manager, Mr.. c. +. Austin has ex-
erted every influence for the success
of the State Mill. He has had the
undivided support of the Industrial
Commission; he has been provided
with ample funds at all times for
the operation of the mill. In this
respect will say the state board Of
administration, while directed by
law to secure bids on flour for the
state institutions, where the State
Mill bids were received, they have
in all eases at all times given the
State Mill preferential margin of
10 cents per barrel and sometimes
more over competitive bids with
flour of equal quality. On flour
purchased by state penal and char
table institutions for the period Of
April, 1928, to June. 1924, inclusive,
the State Mill received contracts for
flour to the amount Of $l6,lSO.74
and all private Mill contracts
amount to $9,530.27. State institu-
tions. however, do not have appro-
priations for the purpose Of SUBJ
sdizing the State Mill or any other
concern"
In concluding his lcttcH. Mr..
Kitchen pointed out that the board
of managers. created by the legis-
laturc. has exercised much control
in Mill affairs. He also repeated Il
statement that he was willing to see
the Legislature appropriate $1,000
900 to be used by the mill, and if
this is lost, the experiment be de-
