An electric telegraph, with a single
wire more than 5000 versts in length,
alone affords communication between
the western and eastern frontiers OF
Siberia. On issuing from the Ural it
passes through Ekaterenburg, Kasi-

Nikolaevsk, and 6 rubles and 10 CO.
pecks are paid for every word sent
from one end to the other. From Irkutsk
there is a branch to Kiatka, on the
Monaghan frontier, and from thence,
for 80 copecks a word, the post conveys
the dispatches to Picking in a fort

Just received information that serious
events were taking place beyond the
frontiers Of the Ural. 1t had become
evident that a formidable rebellion
threatened to wrest the Siberian prov
inces from the Russian crown.
Asiatic Russia, or Siberia, covers
superficial area of 1,79O,2OS square
miles and contains nearly 100000 Of
inhabitants. Extending from the Ural
mountains, which separate it from
Russia in Europe, to the shores Of the
Pacific ocean, it is bounded on the
south by Turkestan and the Chimes,
empire, on the north by the Arctic
ocean, from the sea of Kara to Be-
ring strait. 1t is divided into several
governments or provinces, those OF To-
bolsk, Yeniseisk, Irkutsk, Omsk and
Yakutsk; contains two districts, Ok
hotsk and Kamchatka, and possesses
two countries, now under the Musco-
vite dominion-that of the kirghiz and
that Of the Tshowktshes.
Two governor generals represent the
I supreme authority of the car over this
vast country. One resided at Irkutsk,
the capital Of western Siberia. The
river Tchonna, tributary Of the Yeni-

The Dairymen's Convention.

The HERALD is fully justified in the
assertion that the annual meeting of
the State Dairymen's Association to
be held here in December will be the
most important meeting ever held in
this city. 1t will be attended by the
representatives of practical dairying
in the state, and there are none better
in the world. Men who made Mime
sofa butter fam Gus, giving it a world
wide reputation for excellence in that
they hayes butter which has taken first
premium in competition with the world
will be here to tell each other and
our people how it is done. 1t will be
a practical education for every farmer.
They will deal with conditions as they
exist here, and with problems which
present themselves to the farmers of
MINES ota. They will tell the man
who is cultivating $50 acres Of land,
more or less. how to use the capital
and labor at his command to the best
possible advantages to make it profit
able. The average farmer cares little
to know how fifty Or a hundred thous-
and dollars could best be expended in
the dairying business. What he de-
sires to know is how best to use his
present investment. Men who have
fought their way to the front from just
such conditions as exist here will tell
how they did it, and how you can do
it.
Every farmer within a radius of
dozen miles and more should all
attend this convention, If not from
first to last, at least part of the time.
The HERALD will, in due time, print
the program. ....
