Omaha, Neb., Nov. 21.-Another trip
through Omaha IN account of the com.
ing Los Angles Terminal company
was made today by a private car filled
with eastern promoters. Among them
were J. S. Bemis, president of the Be
mis- Bag company; r. S. keerens, Re-
publican national committeeman from
St. Louis; Perry S. Heath. late assist
ant postmaster general: w. B. Clark,
president of the United States Trust

Clark. of the Granite Mountain route;
J. Ross Clark. of Los Angeles, Rich
ard Keerens of st. Louis, and others.
Their plan is to build a short line
from Salt Lake 10 Los Angeles. The
Union Pacific is interested in the en-
terprise, for on the last trip out Gen
eral Manager Dickinson rambled over

ator Clark of Montana is the big finan-

there is no water in the lake, its place
being occupied by a spacious morass.
which quickly swallows any one who
is so adventurous as to set foot on It.
Beneath this morass is still some
water. but in order to bring 1t to the
surface the ground must be barred to
a considerable depth. River Tauche
formerly flowed into this lake. but now
the tributaries chat led to the lake are
dry. and the river itself Is also choked
up about thirty-two kilometsrs north
Of Ngami. During the last ten or
twelve years the water has disappear
ed very rapidly, and the reason appar-
emily is because the mouth OF the river
was gradually filled with the thou
sands Of small floats or RATS on which
the natives are wont to TAKE their
yearly tribute Of corn to Denokana.
These RATS were left year after year
and travellers maintain that the water
found itself powerless against an OBJ
stacle like this. the result being that
the river and lake have become dry.
and that what was nee a fertile agri-
cultural region is now bleak and bar
rem. Formerly there were several vii
lagos ear the lake. but now these,
too, have vanished, and only a fow

will be impossible to restore the lake."

RUSSlA OF

Tho Depressing Poverty OF tho RUSSIAN

Poverty and illiteracy naturally go
hand In hand. In no other great
country OF the world is poverty-unt-
ver.al. monotonous. hopeless poverty
the national characteristic of the
people. The only parallels | know are
in some of the Balkan states. At al
most any point In rural Russia you
might think yourself in the interior OF
Servia or Bulgaria, except that even In
these countries the poor peasant Is
not quite so poor, and his bearing Is
more Independent. Long train jour
neys In Russia are depressing expert

first and foremost an agricultural
country; she produces including tPo-

grain. and grain products form more
than half her total exports to Europe;
therefore. at the right season, there
are great stretches of waving fields
and later. the huge mounds Of straw.
whence the grain has been threshed.
But It Is in her most fertile districts
that the worst famines occur, for IA
