RUSSIA OFFERS FURS AND OILS FOR EXPORT Soviet Russia’s Trade Commit- tee Has Plan for Vast Ex- port of National Products By Carl D. Groat (United Pro Stafl Corres) Berlin, July 16.---Soviel Rus committee for export trade has devel- oped a plan for a vast export of nat- ural products. The list, obtained today from Ger- man_economic sources interested in developing a Russo-German-English \trade, shows the following: 10,000,- 000 pud petroleum; 5,000,000 pud benzine; 8,500,000 pud naptha; 3,- 500,000 pud lubricating oils; 1,500, 000 pud flax; 500,000 pud hemp; 7,000,000 furs; 1,000,000 goat skins; 400,000 horse hides and a quantity of hair. (Note---A pud, sometimes spelled pood, equals 36,112 U. S. pounds.) The United Press informant re- garded this as a considerable quan- #ity, especially in view of Russia’s generally bad economic situation, and pointed out that the import for which Rus: is now clamoring will have to be paid, temporarily at t, main- Iy with gold. The Soviet government is now preaching everywhere that it cannot upbuild Rugsia with out«ide aid. Hence the growth of import business. This year hert imports grew consid- erably over those of 1920, when ouly one fortieth of the prewar import was received. According to amounts sent in, the United States leads the list chiefiy with coal and other combustibl while Giermany is second with ma- chinery, dyes, metals and metal wares. Ingland, Sweden, and Den- mark follow. America’s partigipa- tion is constantly increasing. England with Russia lias had somewhat of a setback. For in- recently desired to place an orden for 100,000 tons of raile, Germany to furnish 60,000 and England 40,000. The English appor- tionment was not made, however, for Bngland asked $60 a ton as against the German price of §44, 5 At this time, there are negotia- tions with German concerns for loco- motives, rails, machinery of various mey in Lemembourg palace for tho first session.

MAY START BIG AUTOMOBILE TOUR Initial Tour Over Roosevelt Highway Bids Fair to Be Biggest in Northwest Duluth, Minn., July 16--Announce- ment that Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., is expected to start the first big so- clal automobile tour of the Theodore Roosevelt International highway from Duluth to Glacier National Park, July 25, has resulted in many addi- wional entries for this motor event. More than a hundred automobiles are counted on whew the caravan leaves the Zenith City on a nine days' trip across Minnesota, North Dakota and Montana., The tour will end August 2 at Glacier Park hotel, Glacier Na- tional park, Montana. This is the first big tour to be run over any section of the great Memi- orial highway, which extends across the northern portion of the United States from Portland, Maine, to Port- land, Oregon. Baggage trucks and service trucks carrying mechanics and tire experts will accompany the tour for the convenience of the travelers. Every city along the route is making extensive arrangements to entertain- the tounists. Indians of the Glacier National Park will mass on the Mon- tana prairie as a reception commit- tee. The red skins will scatter buck- skin confetti over the last lap of the motorists’s journey as a welcoming omen. This early custom of the Blackfeet tribe, indulged in when- ever they welcomed friendly mount- ed Indians, now is modernized as ap- plicable to automobilists, and the practice is peculiarly fitting since it will serve the double purpose of show- ing the way to the motorists as well as spreading the welcoming sign of this tribe. A. W. Tracy, general secretary of the Theodore Roosevelt International Highway association, says the initial tour over the Roosevelt highway bids fair to excel, in many respects, any automobile tour ever taken through the northwest.

' CALIFORNIA MAY HAVE HIGHEST DAM IN WORLD (By United Press) San Francisco, July 16.--More than five million acres of barren desert can bo turned into rich farming land by the construction of the proposed Boulder Canyon dam across the Colo< rado river, according to J. B. Lippin<4 colt, reclamation engineer, formerly of the United States geographical survey. The proposed dam, to be the high« ‘est in the world, Is to be 550 feet high, it is planned. It will be cap- able of storing 24,000,000 acre feet of water and will develop, 1,000,000 horsepower, more than thel total hy- K dro-electric power now developed by, California projects. Lippinsott compares the Colorado river deposits to Nile in the way the two rivers depodit waste quantities of silt to the lands they irrigate. Trig silt, he says, actd as fertilizer, and makes the desert soil suitable for cul- ture of almost any product. The United States governmen§ owns more than 1,000,000 acres im the region which would be transf+ erred into valuable farming land by ho consummution of the project, day fair, and sughtlyJ iz
