FORMER MILE Laos
COUNTY MAN WRITES
Tells of Life and Trials and Tribula.
tiOnS In New Colony at Matan.
uska. Alaska.

One of the members Of the
Matanuska colony in Alaska, Ray
W. Wilkes, who formerly Lived
near Waukon On the south shores
of Mile Laos Lake. writes the
Askov American from Palmer.
Alaska, as follows:
In view of the fact that much I'M
favorable publicity has been given
this colonization project ! feel it my
duty as one of the cClonists to let
you know of some of the true con-
ditions and the reasons for same.
To begin with Dan Irwin, general
manager, is everything that it takes
for the big job. However, it is my
belief that this project being polit-
ically controlled. he had had to ac-
cept under-officers who are not fit
for their jobs Much confusion is
caused daily under this management.
Then there is the money powers of
the United States controlling Juneau.
They have worked a hardship ON US
that we may not overcome. One of
their representatives, a Mr.. Troast,
head Of construction, has been dis
charged as he did nothing to help
the project while here.
As for our own coloniStS, ! would say
there are about so to Is that should
be sent back to where they came
from They have never farmed nor
have they ever had to rough it. Also
there are the trouble makers, which
is still more serious. / am in a posi-
ton to know for ! have been placed
in charge of logging and saw mill
for one-half of the colonists. You may
be sure that / have had my troubles.
But we can and will make good if
politics can be taken out.
There are ten colonists from my
county of Mile Laos and every one
of them is out here every day doing
what he can to help himself and the
project in general. To my knowledge
not one of them has shown the white
feather. / will mention those officers
whom. believe, at heart are up here
to help US. They are: Dan Irwin,
general manager; Rex Atwood, chief
clerk; Mr.. Biggs, construction man.
ager for colonists; and Mr.. Jacobs,
architect
i believe in Alaska. and / believe
in this project. We like it here and
want to give our best that we, as a
colony. might be successful.

u. S. SLAUGHTER OF
MEAT ANIMALS is THE
SMALLEST ON RECORD

June slaughter of meat animals in
the United States was one OF the
smallest on record, according to the
livestock market bulletin issued by
the Central Cooperative Association,
farmer-owned livestock selling agency
at South St Paul.
Most of the reduction is due to the
extremely small number of hogs
slaughtered the June total being
1-S2S.279 head or about half the av-
erage June hog slaughter, and two
fifths of the June slaughter in 1888.
During the first half of 1885, total
hog slaughter in the United States
was 13,792.00 head or practically
half the average six months slaughter
since 1920.
While cattle slaughter during June,
at 669,253 head is sharp reduction
from June last year when thousands
of cattle were forced TO slaughter be-
cause of the drouth. it is about in
line with the average June cattle
slaughter for other years. The six
month cattle slaughter at 4,414 1872
head also is about equal TO the aver
age corresponding periods in other
years.
Sheep and lamb slaughter during
June this year was 1,420.679 head.
This figure has been exceeded by
three other June totals. and the six
month sheep slaughter at S,343.191
head is fourth largest on record
Sheep production is still large and
the cattle population of the country
is about equal to the average, but
with pork extremely scarce. sheep
men and cattlemen should get along

KITTENBALL TEAM
CHALLENGES OTHERS

The Askov Coop kittenball team
feels that it is getting to be quite
somebody in this field of sport
since it has won all of its games
thus far this year, its last con-
quests being a 5 to victory over
Rutledge, and a double header VIC
tory over Sandstone to and 9
to 2.
The boys, therefore. issue a chal-
lenge to teams elsewhere within
striking distance for one or more
games. This challenge is not is
sued in a spirit of boastfulness, but
il is the desire of the soft ball
tossers in Askov to start some
thing" amongst the communities
in kittenball way.

INTERNATIONAL
NEWS REVIEW
By GEORG STRANDVOLD

Although the Briand-kellogg treaty
against war owes its origin to the
League of Nations, and although great
powers, signatnries of the treaty and
members of the League as well, look
with disfavor upon the active Italian
preparations for warfare against
Abyssinia, none of them has spoken
definitely and Enthusiastically to the
Mussolini government about its open
defiance of treaty and League.
Corden Hull, secretary of state of
the United States not a member Of
the League-was asked by Abyssinia
to warn Italy against violating the
Briand-Kellogg treaty. He sent a
most evasive reply and then, after
thinking the matter over and watch
ing the public reaction, summoned
the Italian, the French and the Brit
ish ambassadors i'm Washington for
conferences concerning the AbysSin-
ian situation He once more expressed
the hope that war would be averted.
but was as far as the public knows.
not very specific or direct in his
talks with the Italian ambassad or.
Situation Elsewhere.
1t cannot be claimed that Great
Britain did much better: Sir Samuel
Hoare, foreign minister, told the house
of commons that he, too, hoped war
would not ensue, and that while he
recognized the necessity of Italian
territorial expansion, he doubted
whether that would be sufficiently
justifying reason for warning ON the
African kingdom. Also, he said that
some of the criticism directed against
Abyssinia was merited.
As far as France is concerned, the
government at Paris apparently wants
to remain non-committal for the time
being.
In other words-and to put it all
into a nutshell: Not one of the great
nations governing the destiny OF the
terrestrial world has said to Italy
plainly and bluntly that she must
not violate the Briand-Kellogg treaty,
or that am attack On Abyssinia would
constitute such violation. There have
been plenty of general statements"
but still that one clarion and author
itative voice deprecating war is mis-
sing. Many there are who feel that
it might have emanated from Wash
ington more forcefully than from any
other capital-and more effectively,
