SPOKANE, August 23—Plans for I
bringing a colony of Russian peasants
to Douglas county for the resettle
ment of abandoned wheat farms there
were outlined at a recent meeting of
the land settlement committee on the
Spokane chamber of commerce.
Many fertile farms, it was declared,
some possessing valuable improve
ments, had been abandoned because
of crop failures and could be secured
with little or no payment down and
made to pay for themselves in a few
years. W. H. Miller told the committee
that these farms wouid produce Dum
per crops had they been planted this
year.
Mr. Miller expressed the belief that
mortgage men handling land would
assist the settlers in securing cattle
and other stock and that they would
not require any payments on the prin
cipal until at least five years after
taking possession. Now the committee
is seeking further information about
peasant people in Russia, Austria and
Czecho-Slavakia.

RESIDENTS OF LAKE KENAI
COMPLAIN RIVER IS BLOCKEI
Blockading of the lower Kenai rh
er by the nets of fishermen is respor
sible, according to residents of Lak
Kenai for very few salmon reachin
| the lake this season. Where salmo;
! formerly were caught by the thorn
ands, the intensive fishing in th
mouth of the river by the canner
crews, have resulted in fish bein
practically stopped from ascendin
the stream.
Thomas Donohoe, at Quartz creek
has put up about 160 salmon this sea
son, where formerly thousands wer
caught for local use.
“We attribute the scarcity of fis^
to the cannery being Locg^d far u;
the river from its mouth,” said on
prominent resident. “It is impossibl
for fish to escape the nets of the fist
ermen, and those caught here thi
year are all scarred by nets.”

being in excellent shape, and a great
convenience to residents and travel

a fine road leading to lower Skilak
lake, or to the edge of the Forestry
reserve, at which point it is hoped
the Road commission will start in on
a road to Kenai.
This road is one of the most impor

Cook Inlet residents to reach the rail
road thru the winter months, at a
time when the inlet is frozen over.
It is stated there are about 500 per
