SIBERIA AN ELYsLuM.

I London Chronicle.
 It is a startling paradox that Asia i tic Russia is more Western in its spir-
 it than European Russia. The great
 impetus of Western energy and enter prise seems to be clrcling the globe
 having crossed the Atlantic. the Ameri- can Continent and the Pacific Ocean

 the impression strengthens, until, at
 Kurgan. the first important Siberian

 les of the Western States.
 The growth of Kurgan since the rail-
 way reached 1t has been rapid. It now covers about four square miles of the prairie-like Siberian steppe. The town

The housese are small. but they are not huddled to- 9ether Each has spacious court yard They are. with few exceptions, built of logs. I saw several in progress of erec- tion for there seems to be a building boom in Kurgan and a considerable amount of speculation in land. The wood work was excellent. The princi- pal implement employed was the axe. In the use of which the Russian peas ant excels. The dove-tailing at the corners and the fitting of the windows were marveIs of perfection.
 Butter fig booming in Kurgan. Every body who can get hold of a COW Is either making butter himself or selling milk goes into the churn or Into the separator. The children suffer In the old days, when wheat was the staple product. each child had as much milk as 1t could drink. But now the fluid Is too precious for domestic use. and the population live upon bread and tea. Without doubt this imDoveishment of diet will have q serious effect upon the of the next generation.
 From hundreds of versts around but ter comes pouring Into Kurgan. and yet the exporters cannot get enough. The rivalry is very keen. Twenty-two firms Danes. Germans. British. Belgian, Swiss and Russian-are bidding against one another. and the shrewd Siberian peasant Is not slow to take advantage of the situation. A paternal govern ment has assisted him to form a CO., operative union for the double purpose of buying implements and stock and Of selling his produce. In Kurgan there Is fortable for As. One evening, when the representative of a British and a Danish firm were dining with me. was surprised to notice two peasants enter the room in the most easy and natural manner and order refreshments Later one of them came over to our table and talked butter business for a little.

 The independence. intelligence ana initiative of these Siberian peasants are doubtless due to the fact that they have never been private serfs. They were fixed upon the land, It is true, but the land was crown domain. and they could not be bought or sold. They new CT experienced the degrading and de- domestic slavery to which the private serfs were subjected

A Horse Show Circuit.

R. M Williams, who Is Secretary and General Manager of the Alabama State Fair, and managed the last fair in this city. has gone to Winchester, Tenn, to look after a fair sIns-that vi- cinIty. He announces that he Is work ing on the formation of a Southern Horse Show circuit to give spring Horse Shows during State fairs
 Eforts are being made to get up a cir cult with Richmond. Va, Knoxville. Chattanooga, Nashville. Atlanta, Bir- mingham, Montgomery and Macon, Ga, therein. Such a circuit would afford high class prizes, and 8 big show in each place. His plan is to have the shows in April and continue five days until the entire circuit was covered. The shows could be repeated at the fairs held in the Fall. He received much encouragement in Birmingham and there is no doubt but that a show will be given in this city. The State Fair Association will make extensive improvements about the grounds near this city, including the enlargement of the horse show arena

Iron and steel Merger.

Considerable gossip is to be heard again in the Birmingham district in regard to a consolidation of the larger iron and steel interests In the Bir- mingham, district and while officers of companies mentioned are not making any statements, there appears to be indications that something is doing"
 President Don Bacon, of the Tennes- see Coal. Iron and Railroad Company and President J. c. Maben. of the Sloss- Sheffield Steel and Iron Com- pany are in the East and though state- ments are made that their business there is in no wise connected with merger proposition. The stocks of both the Sloss- -shefield and Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company have been going up for the past few weeks and this has had much to do with the many rumors. According to the latest rumor heard. the Tennessee. Sloss- -Shefiield. Republic Iron and Steel (Alabama properties). and the Alabama Consolidated Coal and iron Companies are to be in the merg- CT.
 There Is much good feeling among the union coal miners in this district who have been out on strike since July. 1904, over the prospects of merger 1t being the opinion of the miners that a change in officials or management of the companies declining to treat with them will mean the settlement of the strike. -,,
