hitit navigation during the months
from December to April. The govern
ment has huge ice breakers, however,
which have had some success in keep
ing navigation open during the past
two years.
Vladivostch is very busy city, but
like most of the eastern towns looks
best from distance as one is APP
preaching from the bay. Its one main
street with an unpronounceable Rus
sian name is dusty in the summer and
the whole place is dirty and grimy in
all but the winter months.
Back of the city are rolling hills,
and at distance from the city these
bear heavy timber. Along the water
front are several docks, all belonging
to- the government, and batteries are
to be found everywhere. Heavy guns
appear at every angle of the harbor
entrance and the bay is always more
or less warlike in appearance from the
presence of Russian battleships.
Huge intrenchments and barracks,
filled with Russian soldiers. always at
work, are on every side, and in the
summer time the water front is contin-
ually the scene of some war prepare
tions.
The city is quite a manufacturing
center and large sawmills, fiourmills,
match factories, tanneries, mechani-
cal and naval works, give it little of
the hustling American air. Vladivos-
tok is, too. the terminal of the great
Trans-Siberian railway, and a fine
stone station has been constructed.
Trains run regularly, and already a
great deal of business is done by this
government venture.
Vladivostok has not as cold eli
mate as many people have been led to
think. Quite to the contrary. the sum-
mers are very hot and moist, and at
times mists, similar to those of the
Oregon coast, prevail. The season
break off abruptly and the winters are
not severely cold. But little snow falls
and the skies in the winter time are
usually clear.
AS a strategical point, the harbor is
finely situated for it is large and al
most completely land locked. In the
summer the Russian Pacific squadron
makes it's headquarters here, and both
in winter and summer thef defensive
work of the Russians goes on without
cessation.

Where Japan and

The opening of hostilities in the
east found the Japanese on the alert
and perfectly prepared for any course
o. action that Russia might take.
while the fleets and armies of the lat
ter nation were not in the least ready
TO meet any foe that might present a
formidable front. Russia has been
moving slowly, but steadily, in the east
and it was generally thought by the
high military authorities of the great
powers that she could put forth very
strong forces on both land and sea.

is called Golden Horn Bay.
Since 1859 the Russians have been
attempting to establish strong post
in eastern Siberia. the first effective
occupation occurring in 1860 when
they received the permission of China
to do this by the treaty of Pel1in. In
1872 VladiVostok was made a naval
station in the east and its subsequent
growth has been due to the ccnsum-
nation Of the Russian national policy
which has long been working for an
open port on the Pacific.
The harbor is approached from the
south and several islands are passed
at the entrance. Two projecting arms
of the main peninsula form the gates
to the bay and these with the islands
form a perfect anchorage protected
from both wind and breakers. Golden
Horn harbor is easily one mile wide
by two and a half miles long and is
sufficiently large to allow the fleets of
