While the attention of Eurora
been centered mainly on the nro,.- las
OF events in the far east, Russia has
been silently laying the foundation las
an ice-free naval base on her nortb,voa.'
ern coast. This long-talked-of ,.,",
station in the north of Russia Is ,orA
connected with the railway svs.er,
the empire by railway running -.
the harbor of Ecatherinsk to KIM. with
branch line to Kandalask. ON ,,A
White sea, in Russian Lapland Ths'
new line will be $50 versts in LENGTH ..s
will probably be connected with an
Finnish line at Joinsun, in the nor,h :,
Finland, or with the st. Petershnrc.
Petrazavodsk railway. Thus. in e.
years, Russia will possess a naval -,
ton in the far north which will be ON.
all the year round, and whence her me-
of-war will be able at pleasure to cali,
out into the Atlantic. 1t certainly s,r.
a great deal in favor of Russia's ener...
md persistence in certain direct;on,
that this scheme should now be on IN.
high road toward being fully and spo.
cessfully carried out, although the lido.
was mooted for the first time in ~.
Russian press somewhere about tbrs.
years ago. We may now await an e,.
tension of the Russian fleet. In case :,
need, Russia will be able to remove bs.
entire Baltic fleet to the Thurman coas,
and defend the Baltic ports by means
OF gunboats and torpedo boats.

quirements of the Russian navy in tbs

~ being converted into a first-class
naval station at considerable expense.
Whether this work is intended to men.
ace Germany or Sweden is not vet oui,s
evident, but there can be no doubt that
the new port of Libau, when finished
will be a great factor in the event n.
hostilities on the Baltic. This port IL
practically free from ice all the year.
and it bids fair to become a naval sta.
ton of the very first Importance in the
western part of the Russian empire
Millions of rubles have of late years
been expended on the port of Libau.
and it is now intended to rebuild two
moles, one of which is 1900 feet in
length. This work will be began this
year and will continue until 1904. Two
hundred thousand pounds, English.
have been assigned to defray the cost
of this work. \ portion of this amount

The valuable cedar and black walnut lands
OF Sharp, Stone, Baxter and lizard counties

thieves. Most of it is contracted for by east

here TO make a contract with the people living
near to cut the timber for daily wages, promis-
ing to make it all right with the government
