City Ownership.

The Portland, Oregon, water
rates for the new year have been
reduced and the service improved.
The system is owned by the city,
Chicago now pays $55.93 per arc
light per year for street lighting
purposes. The city formerly paid
$l75 per year to a private company.
A plebiscite was taken in Toronto
recently on the question of the
municipaliEation of the gas service.
An overwhelming vote IN favor of
the city buying the plant of the
Consumers Gas company was
polled.
After several years Of darkness
Hastings, Nebraska, again has elec.

on the first of January. The plant
is now owned and operated by the
CITY, and the venture is proving .
decided success.
The Walla Walla, Washington
municipal water cleared $92, ,5l7.3e

CZAR'S GREAT ROAD.
MANCHOORlAN BRANCH OF BIG
SYSTEM COMPLETED.
Advantages of the New Line, Which
Opens a Vast Territory-The Time of
Journey Around the World Will
Now Be Cut in Two.

Russia's Manchoorian branch of the
Siberian railway has been practically
completed, says United States Consul
Smith at Moscow. This indicates that
Russia has not allowed the Boxer up
rising seriously to retard the work of
constructing her railroad through Chi
nese territory to the ice-free port at
Port Arthur, and it also indicates that
the longest railroad in the world is
nearing completion to provide an all
rail route from Europe to the Orient.
This work has been going forward for
ten years under the direct control of the
Russian government. and while 1t has
met many apparently insurmountable
difficulties the resources of the Cars
government have been equal to over
coming them.
Ten years ago, while the rest Of the
world was reading about Siberia as a
penal colony to which were banished
the nihilists, the Czar of Russia was be-
ginning the construction of the great
est railroad in the world. In May, 1891,
the present Czar, then the Czarowitz,
was In Vladivostok, and drove the first
spike In the road begun from the east
ern coast, which was to be built west

from the Ural mountains east through
Southern Siberia

from the Ural mountains east through
Southern Siberia.
The subject of the building of rail-
road across Siberia had been under
consideration and discussion In Russia
for many years, but it did not take
definite shape until the success of the
transcontinental roads In the United
States had been assured. Russian
statesmen watched with eager interest
the construction of these transconti-
mental roads In America, and when the
Union Pacific, Northern Pacific and
Southern Pacific roads had been built
and put In operation, developing our
great West and populating it in a com
paratively short time, the Russians con-
cluded that they could follow the Amer
lean example with like success.
In 1894 there were 10000 men at
work on this great undertaking, which
was estimated to cost $3.50, 100000. The
world began to realize that way off In
Siberia the most gigantic railroad en-
terprise had Its theater, and that Rus
sia was doing what no other govern
ment In the world had ever under
taken. This road was to be nearly 81
900 miles long. and 1t was crossing q
country so little known that any story
of Russian cruelty practiced there
found ready belief. To the world at
large Siberia was land Of Ice and
snow, and banished nihilists, but the
Siberian railroad promised to develop
new markets for German as we'll as
Russian goods, and it also promised an
outlet for the greatest wheat field In the
world. People in every country began
to take new interest in Siberia.
Opening Up Siberia.
The road. was built rapidly, and as
the western division was pushed into
the interior of Siberia 1t made travel
easier, and the country became better
known. Not only Russians, but other
people, realized the future possibilities
of Siberia. 1t resembled our great
Northwest, with grazing lands for great
herds and fiocks, and, what was more
surprising, immense tracts of wheat
land to make the country n rival of the
United States and Argentina In supply
Ing the food products of Europe. The
western division of the Siberian road
was opened to Irlutsk, on Lake Baikal,
in 1898, and trains have been running
from st. Petersburg to that point regu-
iarly ever since. The. eastern section
