HUMANE FARM
NUISANCE, SAYS.
WARRANT
Conditions There as Bad as
Ever, Chief MoxIey Claims;
Mrs. Ludwig Has Not Left

A warrant charging the HUI
name Educational Society of
Maryland with maintaining a
nuisance. in it's animal rest farm

farm for James P. Briggs, of
Washington. The case is set for
July 9, in the police court at
Rockville.
Before obtaining warrant,
Chief Moxley again visited the
farm to see whether his orders
had been carried out. He found
there, he said, conditions almost
as bad as he had witnessed on
his previous visits.
Despite the warning of DR..
William T. Pratt that prosecu-
tion would follow if dead dogs
on the farm were not buried,
Chief Moxley said that he saw a
dead dog on his last visit.
Mrs. Amelia Ludwig. 63-year-
old squatter, who has lived in a
shed on the farm for the past
two years and who, Chief Mox-
ley said, Mr.. Briggs promised to
send back to Chicago, is still at
the farm.
Mr.. Briggs, in reply to the
condemnation heaped upon him
in connection with Mrs. Ludwig,
said that the old woman insists
on having her dogs buried in her
dresses.

PROGRESS OF PERSONAL LIBERTY.

Sometimes we hear complaints that the cause of personal liberty is making little headway Tn the world Americas stupid adventure in Prohibition IS likely to make Americans easy victims of that sort of complaint Narrow and fanatcal crusaders, try ing here to control by statutes, obtained through shrewd political manipulation of blocs of voters, the habits and customs of intelligent people have made it difficult to believe that have progressed since the Colonial Fathers submitted the great Declara- ton of Independence to candid world in support of the cause of freedom in government and the personal liberties of citizens.
 However now and again little incident occurs some place that shows there has been a great improvement in the century and indicates clearly the reign of bigotry in the United States is tran sient thing The other day in Engand' Anthony Hall descendant of the Tudors was addressing a meeting and telling his auditors that the British throne rightly belonged to him and that George ursurpsr.
 This seh-proclaimed Anthony I was fined ten shiIngs not on account of his speaking and his claim of Imperial authority, but because crowds rushing to his meeting obstructed traffic.
 If such an occasion had occurred during the ascendancy of MT Halls ancestral Tudors Tower Hill and the headsmen would have been his reware instead of a two-and-a half dollars fine in an ob scure police court. Even in the days of the goot and gentle Victoria, Anthony would probably shav been permitted to do his speechmaking in the dark ness of a military prison. But now in England, a! the Manchester Guardian says

DELEGATE MAY
 OPPOSE YUKON RIVER FISHING
Press Announcement Indl- cates Will Fight Con-
 templated Opening

The contemplated opening of King salmon fishing at the mouth of the Yukon River next year probably will be opposed by Dele gate Wickersham, it is indicated by statement issued from his office to the press of Alaska un- der date of July 20. Recently Commissioner Henry OyMalley of the United States Bureau of Fish cries informed the Delegate that he was seriously considering reg ommending to the Secretary of Commerce that limited commercial fishing be permitted,
 For several years, agitation has been rife along the great interi,r waterway for the Department to permit the residential population to take and process fish in any way they desired for comm srcial use. In the last three Territorial Legislatures memorials have been passed asking that this be done.
 Wickersham Takes It Up
 The Grand Igloo of Pioneer; of Alaska has passed resolutions on the subject on more than one occasion. These have been eln- bodied in the Legislatures memo rials.
 Judge Wickersham took notice of the matter shortly after he as sumed office as Delegate in Wash ington last Spring. The state ment just issued by his office to the press commented on the mat ter as follows:
 Early in May last some people in the lower Yukon region asked the Delegate to present their re- quest to Commissioner of Fish cries OMalley for the privilege of a limited amount of fishing off the mouth of the Yukon river. It seems that the Commissioner had been seriously considering recom- mending to the Secretary of Com merce that future regulations to be issued permit the Yukon river to be opened to King salmon fishing, allowing 50,000 to 60000 to be taken, and limiting opera tions to King salmon gill nets, and limiting the season to the time when the bulk of King salmon are running. Commissioner OMalley wrote letter to this effect to the Delegate, with permission to give it publicity.
 "The Delegate then had about 75 copies of this letter printed and sent to persons who might i be interested, particularly along the Yukon river, and personally wrote on each letter DO you want this? Write to me-Wickersham. As a result some have written ia voring the opening of the mouth of the Yukon, while others have written in opposition, claiming that the run of the salmon up the river would be affected as would also the natural supply of food

SOVIET PLAN MARKING BACK
 LEVIN TIMES
Scheme to Electrify Farms w as Dream of
 Former Leader
By CHARLES STEPHENSON
 SMITH tChief of Foreign Service of The Associated Press)

Joseph Stalin's decision to bring Russian agriculture under electrifi- cation through the new five-year plan to be inaugurated in 1883 is in furtherance of one of the cher ished dreams of Nikolai Lenin.
 Lenin dramatically outlined such a program before the eighth All Russian Soviet Congress on -Decem- Der 23, 1920.
 It was one of the most important public addresses of the great So- viet leader. He was already in i'll health. There were many rumors that he would not be able to speak before the Congress, but he unex- pectedly appeared on the stage of the Moscow Opera House and was received with deafening applause by the crowd of delegates from all parts of the Soviet Union.
 Was I0-Year Plan
 Ten years was the time fixed then by Lenin for the completion of the preliminary work of electri- fication. we have already worked out the plan he said. More than 200 specialists took part in that work. Tn spite of the fact that nearly all of them were against the Soviet regime, they nevertheless be- came interested in the work, having to admit from the point of view of science that it was the only way

The Galloyak.
Steward Gateway.)


 What is this yak Senator Howell has fallen hard for? Listen my children and you shall hear.
 Experiments in crossing the yak of Tibet with the Galloway cattle at the experiment station near Fairbanks during the last several years have pro duced hardy animal that preserves most of the good qualities of both breeds
 This cross, the galloyak, may do for Alaska in time even more than the reindeer has done or could do
 The yak is a native of the high pateaus and valleys of Central Asia 12000 feet and more above sea level It forages for itself all winter on dried grasses and lives in the open in the codest weather of those high regions.
 The valleys of Central Alaska have climate and grass feed where the yak thrves better than Tn its native habitat environments.
 Its meat is equal to the best beef. It gives good supply of rich milk Its coat of hair is really wool from four to six inches long. The natives of Central Asia use the yak wool for weaving cloth and blankets, as we the wool of sheep.
 The yak is also valuable beast of burden The Asiatics work it to blows and wagons use it as a pack animal and get all service in general from Il that we get from cattle and horses together.
 The yak, galoyak, can find a congenial home in Central Alaska, where day it may roam the ranges in droves of thousands as reindeer dc today. It should be a source of profit in many ways.

to enable the country to emerge from the economic crisis, and to save the peasantry from want and starvation. To accomplish this plan is not so simple; it requires no less than ten years for it's initial work to be carried out.
 "In comparison with Western European countries, what we have managed to do in that direction is insignificant, but the peasant is learning even from that meagre measure. He can see that some thing is being achieved, where everyone is not working for him. self but where the whole State is working. There is no need to re- gret that we shall have to pay the capitalists hundreds of millions of Kilograms of. oil for their help in .,electrifying our country"
 Expenditures
 1 A vivid picture of farms and fac tories operated by electrical power was drawn by Lenin. He explained the initial plans called for an ex- penditure of $750, 100000

 Lenin stood so close to the from ! of the stage and was so unsteady on his feet as he was delivering this speech that the writer and { score of other foreign correspond. ents who were sitting at the pres table in the orchestra pit feared h, might fall upon them.

letariat insisted on looking into the future and planning for bet ter day and he made forceful defense of the changed economic policy which contemplated the let ting of extensive foreign conces- sionS.
 Comparisons Made He explained that State capital ism in proletarian society is not the same as State capitalism in a capitalist society. The capitalism of Soviet Russia, he continued, is pro noted in the interests of the pro- letariat." He commented upon the suspicion with which many com munists regarded the granting of concessions to foreigners, saying it looked as if Russian capitalists had been chased out to make way for ! foreign capitalists.
 The seven years oI war nearly ruined us," Lenin said "The re- covery of our industry will take several years. We have to pay for our backwardness and weakness because, when we wish to learn i we have to pay.
 We exist in the midst of capi- talist States. We are alone, just now, and until the revolution ir highly developed industries coun- tries has freed us from this, we art compelled to pay toll to interna- tional capitalism. We will win thiI time, and this means winning ev, erything."

 "The Delegate has sought infor- nation from the people interested so that he might be in position to again take the question up with Commissioner OMalley and either urge or oppose the opening of the mouth of the Yukon for fish, ing, as the facts should warrant, From responses so far received the Delegate is inclined to believe that the best interests of the fishing in- dustry and of the peopl ealong the Yukon require that he oppose the new contemplated regulations. ,"
