tains. Those to the south are an i'm
passable range, and on the far side lie
still other ranges, in northern Mongo-
LA. To pass around the north end Of
the lake would have heightened the
line about 1000 miles, in a country
composed entirely of mountains.
The original plan for building the
road embraced line around the head
Of the lake, or south end. Work on this
connecting link was left to the last in
the general rush to push the road for
ward to the Pacific, and so little has
been done on it that Under the most
efficient engineering direction and with
ample labor it probably could not be
completed within two years from this
date.
The distance around the foot Of the
lake is 157 miles and the route to be
taken by the railroad is 1S0 miles
The Hood River glacier. (Hood River, Or.) 1889-1933, 1904-03-31

There are 10 tunnels in the proposed
route, the longest two miles in length.
Many marshes, ravines and gorges will
need to be bridged.
Until this work can be done, in all
probability, Russia must depend on
her ferry across Lake Baikal to take
care of the trans-Siberian traffic when
the lake is not frozen.
Further than this, the Trans-Siberian
railway for most of Its way is rudely
constructed and not suited for heavy
transportGt ton. 1t was knowledge Of
this condition that rendered Russia 80
anxious to delay the struggle with
Japan. Every month of delay meant a
bettering of the road, little advance
in tunnels and on permanent bridges,
little more ballasting of track, addi-
tons to rolling stock and further steps
toward closing the gap at Lake Baikal.

"Yes, Tom and you can both trust

Sarah Eastbell was even now scarcely

wished-had she been less confused. less

additions and conditions; but she stood on
the threshold of a new world, with the

One Of the greatest problems of Rms
sia in her war with Japan Is that Of
transportation. In sending men and
supplies to the far east she must rely
largely upon the railway. The dis
lance between St Petersburg and
Vladevostock is 5,737 miles, and be-
tween st. Petersburg and Port Arthur
1854 miles, and for more than 1000
miles of this distance the only rail.
way is the Trans-Siberian, which, al
though it cost $5OO0O0,0O0 in construc-
ton, is only singletrack road.
The weakest part of the system is a
gap 40 miles wide at Lake Baikal,
nearly 1900 miles from st. Petersburg
and 1000 from Port Arthur Commu-
nication is carried on over the lake In
haphazard manner. In summer
steamer conveys the trains across the
stretch of water. In winter, If the ice
permits, rails are laid on it and the
trains glide over them from one to the
other side. Sledges are also extensively
used, and sometimes when the ice will
not permit the laying of rails an ice
breaking steamer is used and a pas
sageway is kept open for the regular
steam ferries. For the guidance of
sledges trees are stuck in the Ice at
intervals across the 40 mile stretch
from shore to shore.
In considering the gordlan knot in
Russia's main line Of military trans
portation from her base, the casual OBJ
server asks, "Why did Russia lay out
the road to this lake"
The answer to this query is told by
the map. 1t was the shortest and only
practicable route in the trans-Asian
survey.
Lake Baikal lies In generally north
and south direction. 1t is 400 miles
long, and surrounded by tall noun.

We win never forget the beautiful

surroundings are unsurpassed in beau
ty. All around the camp Is a mass OF
fruit and flowers.

the water has been found unsuita BILE
for boiler purposes. The locomotives
passing these stations use, on an aver
age, about 100000 gallons of water
daily. The water from nearly all these
sources contains incrusting constitu-
ents; that is, the sulphates and carbon
ates Of lime and magnesium, and, in
many cases, corrosive substances, such
as chloride Of calcium and magnesium,
are present in troublesome amounts.
The incrusting solids contained in
900, 900 gallons Of water used each day
in the year amount to over 1900
pounds, or, in the course Of a year,
nearly 800 tons. This amount of In
crusting material deposited In the boil
er would, in the first place, damage
the boiler plates and cause an enor-
nous increase in the consumption of
coal. The removal of this scale would
cost probably from 6 to 10 cents per
mile of distance run.
At these 20 water stations water
softeners have been erected at great
initial expense. The maintenance Of
these softeners requires the eypendi-
ture of about SIT per day for chemi-
calls and an additional charge of about
$5S per day for services of attendants,
making total of $75 per day, or $27,-
375 per year. The cost Of construction
of these water softeners was not made
public, but, If the cost of mainte-
nance represents 4 per cent on the In
vestment, the total amount expended
for water softeners is nearly 100000.
The same experience holds true Of
other railroads. At 10 water stations
along the Union Pacific 2,790 pounds Of
solids are removed from the water
each day, almost as much as is re-
moved from the water of 20 stations
along the Santa Fe system. although,
at the 10 Union Pacific stations, they
use about 30 per cent more water than
at the Santa Fe stations.
The chemical survey Of natural wa.
ters which is being made by the dydro-
economic experts Of the geological sur
vey is directed, in part, toward the To-
cation of available waters which may
be used for boiler purposes without
treatment. II, by extensive surveys,
such waters can be discovered and
their location made known, the saving
of a tremendous amount Of money will
be effected. In the case Of railroads
the cost Of such great losses, as above
mentioned, is due largely to lack OF
concerning the sources Of
water suitable for boilers. and they
will become the greatest benefciaries
of this phase of the work of the gov
ernment.

Mary Holland rose and stood beside

arm, and once more the clear look in the
eyes seemed beyond all deceit.
Sarah, leave me with my miserable

Sarah stopped, and her hands were
pressed quickly to her breast to still its
sudden leaplng, while Mary Holland
clasped the others arm, as a sudden
knocking at the outer door, followed by
a ringing of the bell, announced a late
visitor to Sedge Hill,
"Can 1t be?" both young women whis-
Dered, as they went across the drawing
room toward the marble-chequered hall,
friends again in their suspense, and with
the new distrust forgotten for a time. In
the hall stood a servant, with a hand
upon the door, and in the corridor were
Thomas Eastbell and Captain Peterson;
the former with a waxen cast Of counte-
nance, like a man seized with strange
fear.
The chain before the door was lower
ed, the door was opened, and tall man
came with quick strides into his fathers
house.
He has come--oh! he has come" cried
Sarah EastbeIl joyfully, and forgetting
all sense of decorum in her delight at
seeing him-forgetting that he was only
her second-cousin n!-she ran toward him,
and cast her arms about his neck, to his
surprise, and in her warmth of welcome.
Here was one friend at least whom she
could trust.
II am so glad that you have come"
she cried; then she shrank away from his
arms in her second impulse, and went
with crimson-dyed cheeks to Mary Hol-
lands side again. He smiled--and 1t was
the old bright look cleaning from bis
full brown eyes. The welcome pleased
hint was so strange a contrast TO his
last reception In that house.

which he had never fully recovered.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bryant left this city about
