SIBERIA Is NOT \ DEsERT-Sibcria coupled
as its name is with stories of Russian bar
barity, is not the barren. terrible land of lin
i.less deserts which fiction and the drama
have pictured it, The building of the Trans
Siberian Railway and the extension of lines
along the northern frontier of China will
greatly change the entire drama of civilian
ton The railroad from Nladivostock TO the
Ural mountains will bring that great naval
station within IL days journey OF st. Peters
burg and along this route stations will rapid
ly grow into towns and offer opportunities for
new and striking developments.
Russias enterprise stimulates that O.! China,
not only rs Il matter cf competitive ambition,
but for strategetic reasons. The railways now
being surveyed aud completed within tie
Celestial Empire are numerous and to this
end many foreign engineers are employed.
Soldiers and convicts are largely employed as
worlmen, thus chcapening the cost of labor
rs far as possible. The Trans Siberian Rail-
way extends length Of nearly 5000 miles,
aad il is expected to cost S25O,OOO,000. 1t
is divided into six sections each section COM
grising three or more divisions, and the con-
tract for building IS given to these, thus en-
ploying large number of contractors for lin
tied distances.

It's wealth is practically unlimited. With the
advantages OF railroad communication and
