a Letter from Bessarabia)
By l. NEVlN

By l. YEVlN
Bessarabin is in the thrOcs of despair.
This province which had for over 100
years been dependent economically on
Russia providing it with cereals, fruits
and wine has been left without Il
market for lis products. Roumania
docs nothing TO compensate its new
province for its economic losses. nor
does it foster any normal cconomic. rc-
latinns with Il. Take thc agrarian re
form. This reform was brought about
by number Of political and social
causes and was instrumental in salts
flying the hunger for land in this PROV
incc. The appropriation Of the land
has been accompanied here as in other
countries by number Of painful phc-
nOmCna in the first place ii ruined the
economic position of the peasants and
thus rendered them too poor TO he able
to pay their rents. Instead Of the Gov
crnmont granting the landlord cheap
credit 10 enable him to improve the
productivity Of thc land it let him
fail an easy prey 10 the banks and
usurcrs who blcd and are still bleed
ing him white. The little that remains
is eaten up by the heavy Government
taxes and the peasant does not know
what TO do with his land which hangs
like Il milestone round his neck
The Roumanian Government has
shown little understanding Of the needs
OF this rich and prosperous province.
Little by little the prosperity Of its
population has been undermined. A
tobacco monopoly has been introduced
together with disastrous tarinran
fruit and wine export
Before the war, tobacco growing was
very important branch Of the econo-
mic life of Bessarabln 1t offered an
assured livelihood to many hundreds of
families The tobacco plantations were
in hourishns state. Bessarabian
tobacco competed easily with the hest
sports Of Crimcan tobacco. Tho tObac-
60 monopoly has destroyed this flourish
Ing industry.
The same Happened with the fruit
and wine export trade. Bcssarabia was
famous an over the world for its fruits
and vines, which were so plentiful that
they used TO supply whole provinces
in Russiu. With The closing of thc
Russian market there was still left tho
possibility Of the export trade 70
Poland. Czerho-Sloylkia. aud other
ncighboriug countries. But the Rou
manian Government cared litflC for
Bcssarabia, and RUumauian hostility 10
Poland soon brought about the exclusion
from Poland Of Bcssurubian wines aud
frnils by means OF tariff buTicl
against Roumaniau goods.

to he satisfied" said Mr.. Bresslcr, in
making this announcement at is I'M
prcccdcntcd that so large sum Of
money should be subscribed in advance
of a drive, II demonstrates two
things: one, that the Jews Of New

great need. the great tragedy, and ser
ond that they are beginning TO un
dcrstand their responsibility to their
brethren overseas.
/ Although Campaign Headquarters
| have been opened but short time, Mr.,

/ the general receptive attitude on the
part of the New York Jews toward
this great effort That they will give,
give literally and give with gcncr-
ous heart. this first million in advance
of The drive is ample proof. But the
great need for the purpose Of our

BLACKBURN
FOR

The office of sheriff, while possibly the most
sought after of our county offices, is probably the most
enforcement means so many different things to diff
ferent people, the man who can take this office and
do his duty and at the same time give general salts
faction to the public has to be unusually clear, cod
and level headed, fairminded, and of personal integrity
of a high order.
Frank Blackburn, candidate for sheriff from the
Wood River country, seems to fill this bill to an unusual
degree, and if nominated and elected to this office
ought, in the opinion of his many friends, to make as
good a sheriff as Park County has ever had.
Mr.. Blackburn was born at Birkenhead, England,
about fOrty-seven years ago, but came to Canada in
1895, where he spent about five years, part of the
he came to Meeteetse and since that time has been
a continuous resident of what is now Park County.
Since residing here he has been engaged in the various
branches of the livestock business, both cattle and
sheep, the latter in connection with the late w. T.
HOgg. At present he has an excellent ranch on Wood
River and is running cattle. He is married and has
office, although he served two years as deputy assessor
under H. A. Phillips in this county.
Frank Blackburn is a good, clean, straightforward
man, and is allied with no political clique or faction.
He has no strings fastened to him. If elected sheriff
he would be no mans tool, but would be in a position
to perform the duties of his office without fear or
favor. Another thing is certain there would be no
suspicion of graft connected with his administration
honest and endowed with an ample fund of good, sound,
common sense, a man could hardly be found better
suited for the office he seeks.
Ask the people of the Upper GreybuIl country
what kind of a man is Frank Blackburn, and you will
soon learn the high esteem in which he is held by
those who know him best.
You will make no mistake by casting your ballot
for Frank Blackburn for the Republican nomination for
sheriff.

GRAIN MARKET

CHICAGO Jan. 16-Corn received
much of the blaine today for weak
ness of wheat and of other grain as
we'll Agitation to promote higher
corn prices was represented in vari~
Gus quarters as having largely spent
it's force. The wheat market closed

Corn finished lee to lac down

One reason for the downward trend
Of the wheat market was that eff
forts Of industrial and financial in
stitutions to advance prices of corn
had resulted in big speculative pur-
chases Of corn a short time ago, but
that the corn market had been with
out subsequent adequate support and
that under such circumstances wheat
values We're too high. With this kind
of talk current considerable selling
of wheat developed and brought
about persistent downgrade ac-
ton, with final quotations at almost
the bottom level reached.

by the covering operations of timid
bear traders, failed to hold, and
prices sold off again in the last
hour. Final quotations disclosed
considerable irregularity, both the
industrials and rails average show
