From the Missouri to the Oxu is a big
step. The Central Asian railway has been
constructed by Russia TO open the interior Of
Turkestan and Bokhara to Russian commerce.
The difficulties in the way have been the
crossing Of the rivers Tejend, Murghab and
Au1ou Daria, or Oxus. The obstacles in
bridging these streams are TIE same as those
encountered in the Missouri-the shifting
sands and liability TO food To combat this
popularity the Russians planted a shrub
called ''Saxaul,n which takes root in the
sand and at last forms barrier and permits
the carrying of the food water through
numerous conduitS. The bridge across the
Oxus at Chardjui is a light structure OF
wooden piers and is two miles long, though
it includes an intervening island The rail-
way line has been in al its parts under the
superintendence Of Gen. Annenkof, one Of
the most distinguished officers il the Russian
service. He has been rewarded By the car
with the Order of st. Alexander Newsky ard
the appointment as chief director OF the line
for twenty years.

Rev. Frank NJ. Day to scatter the holy
word in Lander, the Fremont county me-

resigned to take a polishing course in a
theological college. Rev. Day manipu-
lated anthony on THE LEADER twenty
years age and is a good printer. This be-
ing conceded there can be no doubt of
his ministerial qualifications. The re-
quisites for success in the profession and
the art are not dissimilar. Both must be
persevering, have education and i~ntelli-
gence, aptitude and rapidity of thought,
must be observing and of good morals.
The writer is certain that Mr.. Day will
be well received at Lander and will sur
round himself with a good congregation.
He is especially recommended to the big
hearted Joe De Barthe and the polished
j.. +. Ludin of the Mountaineer. Both
will accord him good treatment.
