FROM RU$$L .15 t (Victoria, Times) Ji Soviet Russia, today seems to be nearer !o that long-predicted smashup than at any time srhcFNjcHdlai Lenin was laid to rest in chilly grandeur in the Kremlin. Every year has brought its scare story from Russia; but this one, which tells of revolting peasants, hostile neighbors and a restless army, seems to be based on fact. Its chief details, for instance, are broadcast by the special correspondent of a New York paper that has always been scrupulously fair to the Soviet regime. The grand Communistic experiment is evidently approaching a crisis. Probably "experiment" is not quite the word, at that. It is the word we have been Using for a decade, and the Russian nation has surely lent itself to a great venture into an untried neiu; yet, on tne whole, what has happened over there has been a great deal .... more than an ex- f A Ti 11 m penmenc n nas Deen, primarily, an object lesson, a colossal, smoking warning, trailing across the eastern sky a banner of blood and, -fire ,and smoke, by which all the rest of us can prof itably be guicfe'd.' " K Suppose, fdr, the. saKepf. argument,. that the present stories should be correct and that the Soviet state should presently come down with a crash. Suppose that Stalin, as some predict, should seize absolute power and make himself a kind of northern Napoleon, riding the Russian people with a spur as sharp as the czar's. What then? Would it be in order for us to lean back and smile and say that we "knew all along" that this wild Communistic struggle could not possibly stand fpr more than a. few years? It would not. All along most of us have missed the point of the Russian revolution. We have deplored its wild excesses, shuddered at its bloodshed, piously shaken our heads at its cruelties and have been, all the while, supremely blind to the' real meaning of the whole business. The Russian revolution has been a demonstration that ought to last the human race forever,. ot ivfaat repression and autocracy inevitably brine in theiMrafrh The ruler of that great country sowed tne wind for centuries and as always happens, they finally had to reap the whirlwind. Many innocent people were killed and much money was wasted, but it was inevitable. As Carlisle pointed out, if people are deprived of their rights long enough they will eventually assert their mights tragically and cruelly. The Russian revolution was Rusgia's by-product of the World War. We are beginning to realize that to avoid a repetition of the war we must steer a different course from that which was charted up to 1914. We might let the Russian revolution tell us that the race must discard autocracy, repression and Bourbonism if it is to avoid another Communistic experiment on a grand scale. and the Unak River, the development of this immense showing will be of much importance, demanding tl asportation facilities which will open up another large territory.

Trustees are S. P. Fftsgerald, Frank Pisher and E. D. Haddon. As a result of considerable prospecting; the own ei s have been convinced that further development, which weuld cost a good deal of money, is warranted. The ground la undoubtedly a dredging proposition, so it is proposed to thoroughly prospect it with a keystone drill. It is the plan to raise the' money this winter and move the outfit .
