A Fresh WaVe of Revolt
Seen Brewing in Spain
Spanish Revolution Not
Vanquished, CP Deputy
from France Says

PARIS, Jan. 14.-Peri, member of
the Chamber of Deputies, has re-
turned to Paris from ten-day
tour of Spain. He visited Barcelona,
Madrid and OViedo, and met many
Communist and social-democrstic
worker functionaries, numerous per-
sons belonging to other parties,
members Of the CorbeS and work.
ers who took an active part in the
instruction. Asked by our CORE
spondent to give his general i'm
preston, Peri stated that, in the
first place, the Spanish revolution
had not been vanquished, but at the
moment Spain is in state Of quiet
in which forces are being reorgan-
lied in order to employ them in the
future.
It must be emphasized, declared
Peri, that fascism has not won the
battle in Spain. There can be no
comparison between what one sees
in Spain and what one saw in Ger
many a few weeks after the fascists
took over power there.
Our correspondent: But the
workers have been suppressed in
Asturias; wholesale arrests are still
taking place, which are bound to
have q depressing effect?"
Fresh Arrests
Peri: 1T is true, our friends SUI
fered serious losses. Forty thou
sand rsvolutionaries are in prison.
Fresh arrests are taking place every
day. Many reyolutionaries are
threatened with death, especially
our Comrade Gonzales Pena. The
state of Seige still remains in force
and with it the censorship, while
the workers organizations are only
semi-legal."
In reply to our correspondents
question whether the workers do
not feel that they have suffered a
severe defeat and whether despond-
ent elements are not going over to
Besteiros, Peri replied:
No Feeling of Defeat
Not in the least. The working
class is not depressed. It's organ
izations are almost entirely intact
Its stores Of weapons have not been
confiscated by a long way. In
Oviedo the workers absolutely re-
fused to resume work under the
conditions dictated by the govern
ment. They demonstrated against
these conditions and the govern
ment was compelled to retreat.
Among the lower organizations
of this party, especially among the
youth, the movement for the
formation Of united revolutionary
party of a Bolshevist character is
growing. Both the Communist
Party and the Socialist Party are
continually gaining fresh members. -
United Front Strengthened
Our correspondent asked Peri
whether the united front between
the Communists and the Socialists
had not been shaken by the false
attitude of the Socialist Party to
the question of the revolution. Peri
replied: mo, it is stronger and
firmer than ever. The Communists
and Socialists in the prisons are
exercising a severe self-criticism as
demanded by our Party. The So
cialist workers realize that it is
necessary not only to abandon their
technical-military idea Of the revo-
luton, but at the same time to free
themselves from the reformism of
their leaders. such as Besteiros
They understand and agree when
our comrades point out that mass
work in the army is more important
than the methods adopted by the

Finds Acres Of Ferns
Over 10 Feet High

One does not have to travel to far
distant countries to find tropical
Jungle, if one is to believe the story
now being told by Deputy Game War
den Darlington. And since he supports
his story by testimony of others, he
must be believed
In his latest Believe 1t or Not story
he tells about forest of ferns grow
ing much higher than mans head.
And this is his story.
-Four miles from the highway in the
vicinity of Bull lake, and on Ross
creek, there is a veritable tropical
growth of ferns, probably an acre and
a half in extent" says Darlington. In
visiting that section last week, we
found these ferns growing so rank and
dense and high above our heads that
it was with. difficulty we penetrated
them. The height of the ferns amazed
us. Ray Baenen, who was with me, was
carrying a 9l2 foot fish pole. Putting
this together he measured the height
of the ferns and found them to be
eight inches longer than the pole"
This is a good cutthroat stream, says
Dorrington,r fish averaging 10 inches.
However, the stream is getting low and
in some places sinks, leaving pools
where many fish are trapped and will
die unless a good rain relieves the
situation To rescue these fish would
require lot Of work and time and
would be too expensive to undertake
says the game warden.

Hungry Bass Feed
On Young Ducks

In these parlous times when all sorts
of alphabetical organizations are formed
to help the poor farmer, it seems fit
ting that another one should be pro-
vided to bring relief to the poultry
raiser whose young ducks are falling
prey to hungry bass
The bass in this section grow so
large-and they are SO fierce-that they
are beginning to feed on young ducks.
And one farmers wife, at least, finds it
necessary to keep her young ducks
off the water to prevent them from
going down the threats of the voracious
bass that infest the lake at her door
yard -
Deputy Game Warden Darlington
vouches for this story
He was in the Savage lake district
this week and called at the Vorheis
ranch, which lies just below Savage
lake on small body of water known
as Miner lake. While there Mrs Vor-
heis told him she had noticed that now
and then one of her young ducks would
be pulled down under the water, while
SW AIHIiAik vi TIE ldhC. investigating,
she came to the conclusion that the
ducks were being eaten by the bass
with which the lake abounds.
Darlington concluded Mrs. Vorheis'
diagnosis of the trouble was correct
and made arrangements to test it out.
Returning later, accompanied by Bill
Farris and Ray Baenen, they took
boat onto the lake and fished for the
bass. Farris succeeded finally in land
ing handsome specimen after hard
battle and found him to weigh 512
pounds, with mouth on him plenty
large enough to swallow young duck.
Two others were hooked but instantly
broke the tackle and got away. These
two were much larger than the one
caught, as the ones that get away are
always the larger ones, says Darlington.
To prove that this his latest fish story
really was. true, Darlington brought
the 5l2-lb beauty to town and placed
it on exhibition in the Electric Store
window

The natural result of such an item
of news is that people in the Middle
West and East will think the entire
Northwest is burning up. We who live
here know how utterly ridiculous such,
statement is. What the writer un-
doubtedly meant to say was that there
are scattering fires extending over
front OF possibly 600 miles, with plenty
of men available to combat the menace.
AS a matter of fact there have been
no bad fires anywhere in this district
this season. There are few Of larger
extent in Idaho and possibly some
farther west, but this immediate district
has been blessed with fewer fires this
year than IS the usual occurrence.
Such exaggeration as was found in

Winter Gee Camps
May Be Located Here

There are possibilities that two and
probably more CCC camps may be
located in this area this winter. On
Thursday and Friday of last week,
Captain Gerald W. Close and Captain
r. r. Brady, from Fort Missoula, were
in Libby investigating the local situa-
ton relative to the establishing of win
ter camps here. They were shown over
the area by c. S. Webb. supervisor of
the Kootenai national forest. Mr.. Webb
states the army men indicated their re-
ports would be favorable, but at this
time nothing is assured. If the camps
are approved, one would be located at
Libby. or in the immediate vicinity,
and one at WarIand Others were be-
ing considered at Sylvanite and on
Keller creek.
Negotiations are in progress for the
use of Shevlin park as camp site, and
this will probably be chosen if salts
factory arrangements. can be made for
providing city water If this is not pos
sible, the camp will probably be set up
some six miles out on Pipe creek, says
Mr.. Webb.
The camp at Warland will be located
just south of the ranger station Camps
at Sylvanite and on Keller creek will
be in the same locations as camps now
located there. All of which depends on
whether or not the final decision will
be for the placing of camps in this area
this winter.
AS has been the previous practice
each camp will consist of 200 men, and
will be established about October /.
Mr.. Webb states that the crews can
be employed in road work, tree thin
ming in forest improvement projects,
disposal of brush, roadside cleaning
and similar work.
