The aocond night of Chautauqua
brought to the platform a striking
1 personality in Cant. - Sigurdur K.
Qudutndson, an Arctic explorer, in his'
lecture, "liack from Russia." He com
manded tk relief expedition to the
North of Siberia in 1920, returning to
the United States in 11)23.
It woa a straight forward story of a
daring and energetic man, winning
through great opposition of both na
ture and mankind. It was a stirring
recital of thrilling experiences. Capt.
OudmundHon stated that after an ap
peal from the soviet government he
fitted out a relief expedition at Nome
to carry foodstuffs and medicines to
the Russians at the mouth of the Koly
nlak river,
Ho found the settlement in charge
of deported criminals, whom the com
munists had made officials. At first
welcomed, ho was later dealt treach
ery by the governor and ended by
making a trip overland by dog and
reindeer teams to the soviet headquar
ters at YakutRh. On this journey of
2800 miles he passed hrough country
Inhabited by three different peoples, :
none of which is like our Ksktmos. '
One of them being an agricultural
t folk. This region ho found to contain
0B. remarkable timber belt 2000 miles
long and 300 to 500 miles wide. The
Arctic is not the barren waste usually .
pictured.
In VakutHh ho found the cheka.ru!-
ing In an arbitrary manner, living off
the fat of the land, while the peasantry
was negeiccted ana often starving.
Freedom as we understand it, was un
known there. No one being allowed
either to travel or to tulk without per
mission of tho soviet.
. dipt. Gudmundson was offered gen
erous sums of money nnd great min
eral concessions to preach bolshevism
Jn the United States upon his return.
1 Upon his refusal he was Imprisoned
and sentenced to death, but escaped
and finally returned to his vessel. His
experience has caused him to wonder
What Is belnir clvon to thnxe now in
this, country who are advocating rec- '
ognltion of tho communist govern
ment in Russia.
At the end of the lecture a young
man was dressed in a seal skin suit
given the locturer by Capt, Amund
sen and like the one now worn by the
lost explorer.,
Leake's orchestral entertniiiers.gave
the prelude to the' evening's program.
The Junior lady, Cluiio Mary Smlh,
was introduced "and Invited the young- ,

declared his faith in Amundsen's being
alive with some or all of his crew,
ne said that an experienced and in
telligent explorer like Amundsen
would certainly be aljlo to live "o(f the
country" In the Arctic during the
summer months. Our duty Is to find
the last explorer during the summer
and secure his return before the long
Arctic night sets in, the speaker said.
Captain Gudmundson is a follow
countryman of Roald Amundsen's and
had met him In tho ..rctic when Gud
mundson wan captain of the "Polar
Hear" nnd Amundsen was making his
famous northern passage. Gudmund
son has offered his services to aid in
the search for Amundsen.
Captain Gudmundson spoke briefly
of his own experiences in the north
of Siberia as an Arctic explorer. His
relations with the soviet government
has made him a pronounced anti-bol-shevic.
Communism as ' practiced
there means starvation, oppression
and often deuth to tho subjects, while
the officials lived in abundance and
ruled by extortion and high-handod
tyranny.
Captain Gudmundson warned against
the encroachment of communist teach
ing and propaganda in America and
urged that Amorlcans make sure that
all teachers from the -primary schools
through the university are perfect in
their devotion to American principles.
U W. Elliott of Salem, an experi
enced tax authority, spoke on a pro
posed income tax measure of which
he is the author. He condemned the
recent Oregon measure in positive
terms but declared that an equitable
measure would mean equalizing the
tax burden so thnt all would bear a
fair share and thnt the excessive bur
den now borne by property taxes
would be relieved.
He pointed out that even the bad
income tax recently repealed had not
driven business from the state, sup
porting his contention by giving

Under the able direction of May Valentine, one of the most prominent stage producers of today, tliu
favorite Gilbert and Sullivan comic opera, "The Mikado," will be presented nt Chautauqua.
The presentation of such a pretentious opera as the Mikado Is a distinct acquisition to the general pro
gram. Under Miss Valentine It will be given In Its entirety ns to costuming and elaborate singe settings.
The cast has been curefully selected, ench voice eminently fitted to Its particular role, nnd each slncr u
good actor. The funny story and the splendid music which Gilbert nnd Sullivan gave the opera
seem to take on new life and interest with every presentation. Yum-Yum and her lover Nankl-Poo, Ko-Ko,
the Lord High Executioner who eventually has to marry the ugly and elderly Katlsha to escupe the Mikado's
wrath, rooh-Bnh. and all the other comical characters will be well presented. "A Wandering Mlnslrei 1,"
"Tit Willow," "Three Little Maids From School," "The Flowers That Bloom In the Spring," "Madrigal,"
"Moon Song," and other favorites will be thoroughly enjoyed as sung by the splendid cast which May Valen
