regarding the district. Mr. Taylor
has spent many years in the Kan
tishna and knows more about the
district, probably, than any other
man in Alaska.
The horses and outfit will be tak
en to the Crossing on tomorrow’s
train, and the start will be made
from that point.
It is not known definitely what
properties will be investigated, but
it is understood that sufficient sup
plies are being taken to permit of a
look around the entire district,
should the showing prove sufficiently
attractive.
Enos Hanson, an oldtimer of the
Kantishna, came down from Fair
banks with Messrs. McDonald and
Wernecks, but will not accompany
them on the present trip.

OUTFITTING OUR SPECIALTY
Bolshevism has made its appear
ance in Norway and is threatening
grave consequences, according to a
j letter received by Mrs. Carl Schmidt
and Louis Johnson, of this city,
from their brother, Olaves Johnson,
of Christiania, who owns consider
able property in the Norwegian cap
ital, including a large apartment
house in the heart of the city. The
writer is also a brother of Joe
Johnson, owner of the launnch Peer
less.
The letter, written during the
latter part of June, contains an in-;
i
jteresting description of conditions
'as they are today in Norway, and
shows that the war has left unrest
in neutral countries as well as in
those which were involved in the
war.
I
"From your letters I learn,"
writes the Christiania landlord, “that
you also have a great deal of strik-:
ing and unrest among workers and
trades people over there. Well, the
same conditions seem to prevail all ;
over the civilized world, in spite of j
the fact that wages are abnormally
high, here particularly.
“A few years ago, from 60 to 75 ■
crowns a month was considered a
fair wage for common labor. Now j
the rate is about six to seven and 1
one-half crowns for the same kind
of work for an eight-hour day. The j
eight-hour law has been in force j
for som^ time in all kinds of indus- j
tries, federal, municipal, and pri-,
vate, and, besides that, labor shares j
in the profits. And what is more, j
the workers share in the manage
ment and conduct of the business
in which they are engaged. The
larger concerns are not even allowed
to discharge a man for cause, as'
the men have the final say in the
i
matter.
At present, practically all labor
organizations are Bolsheviki. At a
large genera! assembly held at Chris- •
tiania during June, when repre
sentatives from the trade unions of
the whole country were present, the
program of the Russian Bolsheviki
was adopted by a large majority. A
telegram was despatched to Lenine
declaring that the Norwegian labor
organizations fully approved and
adopted the principles set forth in
the Third Internationa! manifesto.
“Such being the conditions here
at present, products of labor have
become so high priced that our
home industrial concerns are unable
to compete with foreign or Ameri
can manufacturers on the markets
of the world, or even in our home
markets. To prove this, let me
state one instance: A large con
struction company in or near
Trondhjem advertised for bids on
supplies for a number of houses
they were building, and while lum-!
ber and lumber manufactures are,
one of the chief exports and indus-!
tries of Norway, yet American 1
agents could deliver doors and win- ;
dows cheaper over here than the
Norwegian factories were able to. |
They further agreed to deliver:
American hardwood flooring for less'
than the local mills could furnish
the same stock manufactured from j
pine or fir.
“The same conditions prevail in
other industries, or manufactured :
articles—clothing and shpes and ag
ricultural and domestic machinery
and implements, and, unless a heavy
import duty is imposed, our home
industries are facing complete de
struction and bankruptcy. I suppose
that feature is one of the safeguards
of the American industries, as I
know it to be a fact that the Ameri
can consumer over there as a rule
pays a higher price for the above
goods, right at home, than the same
goods are sold for over here.
“Another, and I believe a worse,
situation faces the landlords or
house-owners over here. The ten
I
ants have the whole say and they
have a commission of their own,
called the Rent Comite, which has
absolute control. And the house
owner has no redress from the de
mands of this comite. They can
enter any apartment house, looking
for complaints from any of the ten
ants regarding rent, etc. They can
lower the rents arbitrarily, and there
is no appeal from their decision, and
the tenants can stay as long as they
want to, provided they pay the rent.
“I have a tenant, a widow, who
is a conductress on the streetcars,
and she earns as much during the
year as I take in for the whole
building. She has an anteroom, two
rooms and a kitchen, all lighted, at
a monthly rental of 30 crowns. She
sublets the smallest room to two
brothers at 50 crowns, which leaves
her the rest of the apartment free
of charge, and 20 crowns extra.
“If the Bolsheviki program is any
worse, I do not know. It provides
that all property be controlled by
the government and all rents regu
lated so as to leave the owner only
the going interest on his money in
vested. I am afraid that system
will kill all individual effort toward
bettering our conditions, and the
outcome will be general stagnation
of all progress, individually and col
lectively.”

CHILDREN ONLY
WERE LOST WHEN
BOAT CAPSIZED
Rev. Frederick D. Drane is au
thority for the statement that only
two deaths, instead of three, result
ed from the canoe accident which
occurred Saturday afternoon, seven
miles below Xenana. At the time
of the accident, it was reported that
one of the women occupants of the
canoe, Bessie Paul, and her two
children had been drowned, the oth
er woman, Charlotte Titus, being the
only survivor. It has since devel
oped that both women escaped with
their lives, but were unable to res
cue the children, one of whom was
a baby and the other about two
years old.
Mr. Drane says that the accident
was most unusual and that it was
the first ease of drowning among
the natives of which he has heard,
during his residence in the North.
The natives, he says, are experts
with boats and are cautious at all
times. The accident of Saturday
was not due to carelessness nor to
inexperience. The river, at the
place where the accident occurred,
is very swift and the current swings
in against a cut bank, where sweep
ers and snags are numerous. In
passing under the end of a pro
truding tree, the canoeists misjudged
the clearance, with the result that
the upward-curving stern of their
frail craft was caught by the ob
struction and the canoe caught by
the current in such a manner as to
throw the occupants out. The two
women saved themselves with diffi
culty, but were not able to rescue
the children, one of whom was an
invalid.
A number of natives arrived on
the scene shortly after the accident
and searched the river for the bodies
of the two children, but without!
success. Everything else that was
in the canoe, however, has been re
covered.
The women belong to the village
above Xenana.

LARGEST VINEYARD
HAS BEEN CONVERTED
INTO FRUIT RANCH
ONTARIO, Cal.—What is claimed
to be the largest vineyard in the
world, owned by Segundo Guasti,
Jr., of Los Angeles, and located a
few miles north of here, has been
converted into a fruit ranch. The
4,000-acre tract of land will be irri
gated and set out to walnut and
fruit trees, according to Mr. Guasti,
who recently announced the com
pletion of the sinking of four wells
on the ranch and the construction
of a reservoir with a capacity of
thirteen million gallons.
More than a year ago, in anticipa
tion of prohibition, trees were set
out among the wine grapes on the
land. Now these grapes are being
taken out entirely.
