American merchants nre MT

American merchants are not the
only business men with enterprise. A
Russian firm has recently sent an ex-
petition into Mongolia to learn what
the Mongolians will buy now and what
they can be persuaded to purchase in
the future. There are twenty men
and fifty pack-horses In the party.
The Russian military authorities have
sent a topographer along with it, and
the imperial geographical society Is
represented by naturalist. Thus the
commercial needs of the country will
be studied along with the questions Of
Its military control and tile possible
ties Of developing Its natural resources.
This, is an excellent example Of the
thoroughness with which Russia does
the things which 1t undertakes.
