The colonization of Siberia has been
making rapid progress during the past
few years. according to Consular Agent
Harris at Eibenstock, in recent report
TO the department of state. This. says
Mr. Harris, may be attributed solely to
the construction of the Siberian railway.
The number of emigrants from Russia
proper to Siberia has increased from 203.-
900 in 1896 to 225000 last year. The
construction of the road has greatly re-
dueed the cost of emigration. Ten years
ago the cost of a trip from central Rus
STA to Tomsk, which is the destination
of about one-half of the emigrants. was
$50; today it is only 50. The Russian
government grants subsidies for the pur-
pose of helping new settlers, and this
money is spent in encouraging farming
and fruit raising. In the newly settled
districts, 400 churches and seventy-three
schools have already been built. and six
ty-tve churches and thirty-two schools
are in progress Of construction.
