LONDON. — Demoralized trans
portation, not lack of food, is re
sponsible for the famine conditions
in Russian cities and towns, ac
cording to Leslie Urquhart, a capi
talist with large metallurgical and
mining interests in Siberia. Mr.
Urquhart, who recently returned
from Russia, has been appointed
by the British government to assist
in the revival of Siberia’s economic
life.
Considering the depreciation > f
■ the ruble, he told a represen iti'.'e
of the Associated Press, food prices
in Siberia are practically normal.
In Western Siberia, he said, there
is so much food on hand that a
| considerable surplus could be sent
into other parts of Russia, and the
same applies, he understood, to
Southeastern Russia, and to the
Ukraine.
“Broadly speaking, it can be said
j that in the country as a whole there
is no shortage of food, and although
'the large towns of north and cen
, tral Russia are starving, there is
j plenty of food in the villages. The
j difficulty of transport, due to the
j disorganization of the railways, the
industrial strikes anti risings which
brought about the flooding of the
Donetz coal mines and the decrease
in the supply of fuel to less than
25 per cent of normal production,
rival war in the country and econj
mic chaos generally are all reasons
| for the state bordering on famine
I in the towns.
“Ekibastous, the greatest wheat
! producing province in Siberia, with
! lareg stocks ot' wheat lying less than
100 miles away, is living from hand
to mouth as it is practically impos
sible to transport the wheat for lack
, of strap iron with which to make
! tires for wagon wheels.
“The continual increase of wages
in the industrial and manufacturing
towns has raised the cost of iron,
: steel, clothing, boots and other es
! sentials of everything indeed that
; the peasant wears and uses—and
the peasant represents 85 per cent
of the population of the country
to 20 and even 50 times their nor
mal value. The town workers, or
j 15 per cent of the population, how
ever, would not permit the Soviet
government to raise the maximum
1 prices fixed for food. This one
sided legislation not unnaturally in
censed the peasant. While he had
to pay 20 and 50 times the normal
price for all essential commodities
produced by the industrial workers
, in the towns, he received only about
double the normal pre-war price
for the produce of his own labor.
“Therefore, the peasant sits tight
•on his grain. He refuses to sell
: wheat to the Iiolsheviki at the re
quisition price of 1 1-2 cents a
| pound, when he can sell it at 96
1 I
| cents a pound, or even more. When;
j it can be got, bread today in 1‘etro- j
grad or Moscow is 16 rubles or!
|more a pound. The peasant is will
ing to barter his food for cloth,1
steel, textiles and other necessaries,'
but the industrial workers have
ruined industry- Nothing is being
■produced, there is nothing to barter
.with. The peasants have large ac-!
cumulations of paper money, but
| this is of no value for they can buy
nothing with it. Meanwhile the
peasants are hoarding their produce.
“In a sense then the peasant is
master of the situation He has
the food, the townspeople have not.1
The Bolsheviki have tried with vary
ing success to take wheat and other
produce by force to feed the pro
letariat of the town, but neither
the Germans in the Ukrnine, as they
have found to their cost, nor the
workmen in the towns can get food
from the Russian peasant if he does
not choose to let them have it.”
The recent flu epidemic at Valdez
cost that city $700 for salaries of
watchmen, rent of quarantine quar
ters and other expenses.
It is said that the famous Engin
eer mine in the Carcross district
will soon be working full blast soon.

OUT OF DANGER
1 CHIHUAHAU CITY, Mex—Flee
ing: before Villa’s advance in a track
motor car in which keros 'ne had!
been substituted for gasoline by
mistake, was the experience of E.
P. Ryan, general manager of the:
Cusihuiriachic Mining company of|
Cusihuiriachic, Chiuuahua. His ex
perience was typical of others un
dergone by American mining men in
this state while Villa was riding
over the country with his band of
800 men.
From his scouts who were sta
tioned on all sides of the camp.
General Manager Ryan learned that1
Villa was having a fight with the
federal troops at Hacienda Rubio, j
•r>0 miles north. He went to San
Antonio, the railroad junction poir.i
to obtain more definite information
about the rebel leader’s movements.
With another American he watched
the horizon for two days to see if
any military forces were advancing
toward that station. On the second
day he saw twelve men riding hard
toward Sar. Antonio. Thinking they
were only Villa stragglers, Ryan and
llis companion started to seek shelter
until the stragglers had passed.
•lust then a rancher rode up badly
frightened, and said Villa had
visited his ranch personally that
morning, had taken his family and
was approaching with the small
hand to be seen in a dust cloud on
the horizon. Realizing that Villa’s
presence was a menace to their lives
the Americans boarded their track
car and started for Chihuahua Citv
Over the railroad which was re
ported to be infested with followers.
Two miles away from San Antonio
the motor “died". It was started
'and again died just as two mounted
and armed men were seen approacn
. ing. Pushing it ahead of them and
! with the f| n Antonio station mas
ter’s family and bedding on board,
'they reached another station where
gasoline was obtained and suosti
; tuted for the kerosene which herd
been placed in the fuel tank by
mistake.
They continued the journey o the
'state capital, leaving the Mexican
