OF its innumerable waterways nearly
90, 600 miles are navigable. It has
gold fields many thousand square
miles in extent, and for 1000 miles
from the Steppes of the Altai noun
tains and thence through the Balkan
region of the East Siberian ranges
fields of silver, lead, copper and iron
persist in an unbroken metallic chain.
The great railroad itself, which trans
ports us from gray Europe to the gold
en- east and the Pacific, is 5000 miles
long-that is to say, it girdles nearly
a quarter of the globes circumfer-
ence.
AS with distances so with num-
bers. 1t was decided to build rail-
road which should hinge Europe to the
far east Immediately an army Of
100000 appeared to build It. That
army of workmen promptly scored
record for its cosmopolitanism-R
slams, Germans, Americans, French,
Turks, Khirghis, Tartars, fungus,
Buriats, Ostiaks, Mongolians. Chinese,
Msnchurians. Japanese-are all con
spicuous in it. Think of the task of
feeding them!
The whole length of line may be di-
vided into four sections-the vast
plains of West Siberia, the forested
rolling country of central Siberia, the
high ranges of the Baikal region, and
the taiga or forest country, which
Pacific
Russian system naturally dominates
everything. Here it is, for example, in
the stations, of which, by the way,
there are 400. They are built on a
strictly systematic plan and graduated
into classes-four classes, at least. The
first and second class are built of
brick or stone; they have very good
refreshment rooms, and complete ar
rangements at the back for tempora-
rily housing and dispensing the 25O,0O0
picked emigrants now annually enter
ing Siberia The lower classes are built
of wood, and uncooked food is procur-
able at these. AL of course, have
water-tower, and storehouse-
banked with earth up to the roof to
eep out the Cold-and to every sta
ion there is attached a small dispen-
'ary, with a dispenser in attendance
which is a welcome enough sight In
this land Of distances.

100000 tons Of goods passed along

the railway. That is not bad for a
single line. What will it be, however,
as Siberia develops? It's population
has already risen, with the railway,
from 5000, 600 to 5000 900. Towns have
already sprung up in the wilderness.
Two years ago the junction for Tomsk
possessed three houses, and to-day it
contains 10000 peoplel Branch lines
have been built to Archangel In the
far northwest and to the Caspian in
the southwest. Every outlet of Euro
pean Russia is being connected with
the Siberian railroad-Whites sea. Bal
tic and Black set; everywhere is de-
velopment: everywhere haste and en-
orgy in building up Greater Russia.
For, whichever way we look at 1t, we
must never forget that what we are
watching is the expansion OF Russia,
and that in Siberia and her capacity
for almost unlimited growth Russia
has discovered and now is founding
her colonial empire.
