Russian Projects in Siberia.

The attempt being made under English
auspices TO tap the trade of Siberia by the
water route of the Kara Sea and the Yenise
has suggested TO several Russian authorities
interested in that province alternative schemes
intended to retain for Russian merchants ex-
clusive1y the advantages that must accrue
from exploiting the immense natural re-
sources of Siberia. brief summary of
these will not be devoid of practical interest
First among these authorities comes NJ
Sbirakof who was originally an ardent
supporter of the water route from the north
but this idea he has now given up as chimeri-
cal. As the necessary consequence he has
become the exponent and champion of COM
muuication by land NJ. Sihiriakoff claims
TO have discovered in the Ural chain, between
the basins of the Obi and Plethora, a pass
100 versts broad. which he has utilized for
some time for the carriage of goods into the
Plethora district. This route has not met
with much favor from Russian critics on ac-
count of its distance from the sea and for
local reasons. A more favorable reception
has been accorded To the scheme of NJ. Golokh-
vastoif, who has ready obtained the neces-
sary authority TO make a preliminary sur

II is said that no difficulty is to be encountered
on the 400 versts of this railroad, and that |

Fossil Trees Near Washington

From the Washington Post.
f. II. Know ton, one of the curators at the
National Museum, read paper before the
Biographical Society last night on the fossil
woods aud ligEites of the Potomac formation.
This formation extend. from the upper part
of the Chesapeake Bay in Mary land down
through Virginia and as far south as
Weldon in North Carolina. 1t includes por-
tons of Baltimore and this city Outcrops
near here are found Ga the Baltimore al d
Ohio road and at Fort Washington, White
House Landing, and Acquia Creek To
what geological age this formation belongs is
not exactly known. 1t is supposed however,
that it existed somew here between the
jurasoie and cretaceous ages.
These ages occurred thousands OF
years ago, specimens of silici-
fed wood and Ignite found in this formation
indicate that centuries ago immense trees,
belonging to the same species as those in Cal
ifornia, grew upon the land which now forms
this city. The Potomac formation has a
thickness of 400 feet, divided into two mem
bers. The upper consists of clay and the
lower member of sandstone. Nearly all of
the fossils e found in the sandstone sec
ton. The largest trunk of silicihed wood
was found at the new reservoir in this city by
Messrs. McCiee & Ward. 1t was found 20
feet below the surface and was from 30 to 40
feet long. 1t had diameter of 2 feet. The
structure Of the WOOL /, vii preserved in
the slicifed specimen. The ignite, which
is an early form of coal. is much more abun-
dant In color it is jet black. A large
specimen was found at Fort Washington.

HOW WILL 1T HURT THE

The Herald Wants tOKnow.

The Prohibition State Commit
tee has decided to have Third
Party" campaign in this State
this year. This decision undoubt-
eddy Injuries the prospect for the
adoption of the prohibitory amend
ment.- Wetzel Volunteer.
This is one of several late items
of a similar tenor in the editorial
columns of our West Virginia ex-
changes, and as so many of the
brethren seem to think the same
way, we infer that it must be 80,
but we fail precisely to understand
the reason why, if a "Third
Party" takes the field, it will
necessarily, or even probably injure
the cause of prohibition. Will
some of the brethren out of the full
ness of their intuition, if not Of their
acquired knowledge, please en-
tighten US, or must we conclude
that it is all monkey and parrot
game-somebody else in the old
party oounsels has said 80, and
they feel themselves bound to fol-
low suit, as they have been doing
all their lives. We do not refer to
the Volunteer people particularly,
but to those of that way of talking
generally.
Every man that votes the Third
party ticket can be relied upon
with confidence not to scratch his
ticket when it comes to the words,
Z" For the Amendment" and Re-
publican or a Democrat, who would
likely vote for the measure, sup
posing there was no third party in
the field, will not, in our opinion,
very likely, scratch it because
there may be. There is very con-
siderable allowance, we are free to
say, to be made for pure cussedness;
but we do not think that it will
influence sufficient number of
voters to amount TO much, one way
or the other, for there is no telling
precisely in what direction the GUS
sedness will be directed.
The third party If it organizes
its elements, may be Troublesome
and demoralizing to the old parties
but we would like some better rea-
sons than any we have read yet, to
show how it is going to seriously
diminish the vote for Prohibition.

Feb. 4, 'SS. I

ED. FREEMAN -
The interest in Temperance work
has not abated in Guyandotte. AS
you have already been informed
we won signal victory at our late
municipal election, mainly through
the tireless efforts Of the w. G. r.
u, seconded by every lover OF Tenn
perance, sobriety and good order.
We won upon narrow margins,
but considering the forces arraved
against US and the issues involved
our victory was complete.
What we now need is education
along the lines of Temperance, 30
that we can not only hold the van
tage ground already gained but
press forward to greater ACHE We
mer ts and to grandel victories.
The Canaan of Prohibition is
not yet reached in our town or
Mountain State. Hence we should
utilize every possible agency, well
come every true Temperance work
or among US, place our forces in
solid phalanx and then hurl them
against the accursed saloon power
until it is driven from the field,
utterly crushed and defeated.
To assist in this good work Rev.
j. D. Harris of Ravenswood, Depu-
ty G. G. r., l. o. G.. T. of W. Va,
came among US recently and deliv-
cred an interesting Temperance
address, to large and appreciative
audience.

Competent judges pronounced
the lecture a very good one. II
will no doubt bear good fruit.
Bro Harris was kindly received
and welcomed by all lovers of Tenn

away with him our best wishes
and prayers for his future success.
AS the days and years go t y may
his faith and zeal still increase and
his usefulness abound more and

Brewer Testimony.

Frank Jones, the brewer, says ::
"Prohibition in Rhode Island
has cut off the sale of 1000 barrels
of beer during the year."
Well if the taxpayers of little
Rhody can stand this reduction in
its land consequent increase
in individual taxes, we presume
the rest of the country can do the
same. - South West, Liquor Organ.
Well, as the tax payers of little
Rhody are not complaining the
"rest of the country" ought to be
happy.
We ask our readers to take this
one item from the brewers them
selves, and set it against all the
silly lies recently published in the
Wheeling papers and elsewhere,
about the failure of Prohibition in
Rhode Island" Surely cutting off
$4,000 barrels of beer in one year
in the least little State in the
Union shows impending failure
somewhere. But the failure is with
the brewers and not with prohibi.
tionists.
