OF RUSSIA LIFTED
TO RELEIVE FAMINE
LONDON (Correspondence of the
Associated Press.) Lift the econom
. lo blockade from Russia Is the appeal
which Alexander Berkenheim of Mos
. cow, vice-president and general man
ager of the AU-Russian Central Union
of Consumers' societies, is making In
England and which he intends to
' make soon in the United States. That
,' is the only way, in Mr. Berkenhelm's
opinion, to cure Russia's troubles.
Mr. Berkenheim left Moscow, the
"headquarters of his organization, in
December. He confirms reports' of
the' famine - conditions prevailing in
the. cities of northern Russia. . The
v situation in Petrograd is particularly
had, he says. - ',-
. . . 'Mr. -Berkenheim intends to visit
' New York, Washington, Chicago and
San Franciseo. ' The principal object
. of his trip to America is to develop
trade relations between the United
, States and, Russia, and to establish
' offices on the eastern and western
seaboards. From the eastern coast
he plans to ship large consignments
of American products to the Black
Sea districts of Russia, and from the
Pacific coast to Siberia. Heretofore,
. the organization has had only a few
' agents in the United States.
The All-Russian Central Union of
- Consumers' societies is, Mr. Berken
heim says, the directing head of var
ious associations. It embraces 450
Unions made up of 35,000 societies
with an individual membership of
12,000,000 heads of families. Count
;, ing five, persons to the family,, it is
' reckoned that the central organiza
tion Is supplying the necessaries of
life to. some 60,000,000 people in all
parts of the empire.

Daily Health Talks
GOIXG BACK TO NATURE. ,
BY DR. W. LUCAS.
People get sick because they go
away from Nature, and the only way
to get well is to go back. Something
grows out of the ground In the form
of vegetation to cure almost every ill.
Some of these vegetable growths are
understood by -man, and some are
" not: ,nimals, it. would seem, know
:'Vhat to do when they are sick better
than, men and women. 'Observers
have noted that a sick horse, dog or
cat will stop eating food and seek out
some vegetable growth in the field or
yard, which, when found and eaten,
often restores appetite and health.
. Haven't you seen those animals do
this very thing yourself?,
Dr. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y., long
' since found the herbs and roots pro
vided by Nature to overcome consti
pation, and he bad these vegetables
collected and made up of Mayapple,
leaves of Aloe, root of Jalap, Into lit
tle white sugar-coated pills, that he
called Dr. Werce's Pleasant Pellets.
You must understand that when your
Intestines are stopped up, poisons
and decayed matter are imprisoned
, in your system, and these are carried
by the blood throughout your Jiody.
Thus does your head ache, you got
' dizzy, you can't sleep, your skin may
break out, your appetite declines, you
got tired and despondent. As a mat
ter of fact, you may get sick all over.
i Don't you see how useless all this
suffering 1b? All that is often need
ed is a few of Dr. Pierce's Pleasant
Pellets, which he lias placed in all
drug stores for your convenience and
health. Try them by all means. Thoy
are probably the very thing :you need

THE LOGICAL SOLUTION.

investment of $1,800,000 was
juitteo of the ledford Commercial club for $270,000 and
an extension of time, now nearins? its limitation, Avas
granted by the receiver to permit organization of ii pur
chasing svniieate. The organization of such a syndicate
was taken up with the owners of timber tracts and local
co-operation offered, but nothing definite has resulted, so
far as the public is informed, though 'negotiations con
tinue.'- ''.-' .'
The purchase of the. railroad by timber interests would
mean its operation as a logging road, wlucli while preter
able to its discontinuance, would not result in the benefit
to the country, and its development to tho extent that its
operation as a common carrier would hence tho commit
tee appealed to Senator Chamberlain to secure, if possible,
the consent of the federal director general of railroads to
its acquisition and operation by the Southern Pacific .'as
a branch line or feeder and the subject is now under con-
a ... i.; 1 . J 1 M --.li!
siaerauon uy ine icucnu railw ay uuuioiiues. ,
The operation of the Pacific and Eastern was diseoiv
turned because the plans under which the construction of
the railroad to a connection
Bend were abandoned, and the property was operated at
a loss by its owners, the Hill system, as a feeder for the
Southern Pacific. The owners saw no object in its exten
sion to the main timber belt
the timber originated trartic
short haul and a. rival system the long haul.
' The logical solution of the P. & E. problem is its opera
tion by the Southern Pacific. Recent developments of the
lumber business, the construction of a large mill at Butte
Falls, another mill at Medford as well as box factories and
smaller mills along the line, promise business enough to
pay its maintainance and inasmuch as the Southern Pa
cific gets the long haul, it could afford to operate the
branch, even at a loss. ,
' The Southern Pacific is however, under federal con
trol and the sanction of the government directors must be
secured, as well as the consent of the Southern Pacific
company. The refusal of the senate to pass the railroad
finance bill" leaves the railroad administration short of
funds and complicates the situation. However this is a
case where the welfare of a community is at stake and the
amount involved comparatively small, that there is little
question that its acquisition could be managed, if favored.
There is no ouestion but that an extension of the rail
road to' the government timber, which could be secured
by operators upon a stumpage basis, would bring in many
mills and . create a lumber development equal to that of tin.
JtUaniatli country and there is now and promises to be
for years,, a great demand for lumber, :- i
, Failure to operate the railroad , and its j unking will
mean the confiscation of large investments, the deprecia
tion of property totalling millions, including the govern
ment timber holdings, and delay for years the develop
ment of southern Oreeon. It would mean business par
alysis for a large section of
ritory and the loss oi actual
enue to the line.
Every man, woman and child in Southern Oregon pays
tiibute to the Southern Pacific,-which brings in their
supplies and hauls out their products. To get here and
to leave here, they must ; pay the railroad's toll. The
more people there are here, the more the resources are de
veloped, the more traffic originating," the .greater the
profit to the Southern Pacific. It is therefore to the rail
road's interest, as well as the government's interest and
the communities' interest, that the Pacific and Eastern
become a part of the Southern Pacific system.

The machinery of tho Alliance Is
