A Siberian wonder.

The scientists have for years been
perplexed over the wonderful frozen
well at YaRutsk, Siberia. AS long ago
as 1928 it was announced that the
ground was frozen to an abnormal
depth at the place referred to. In the
summer of 1929 Russian merchant
set gang of men to the task of ascer-
tanning the depth of the frozen stratum.
They gave up the job after digging
some thirty feet in solidly frozen
ground. The Russian Academy of Sci
ences took the matter in hand and be-
tween 1888 and 1874 dug to a depth of
3S2 feet and then abandoned the shaft
because the earth was still frozen as
hard as a rock. Natural cold could new
er penetrate to such depth, and the
phenomenon is still unexplained.

turing the cement blocks, from
which the building will be erected,
will probably be carried on during
the winter, the congregation having
practically decided to purchase a
machine for that purpose.
The church, as designed, is al
most entirely of the Grecian Ionic
style with as little deviation as is
absolutely necessary to conform
with modern usages.
The auditorium is in the form of
Greek cross, the intersections of
which are surmounted by low
vaulted ceiling in the center of
which is dome which penetrates
the roof some distance, and is per-
forated with windows and sky
lights. About half way, at an in
termediate point in the dome, there
will be located large ceiling light
of loaded glass artistically designed,
through which light is transmitted
to the auditorium. There is addi-
tional light obtained from windows
placed on three sides of the build
ing above and below. the gallery.
The glass in all of the windows is

colored and loaded and made to
special designs.
The floor of the auditorium will
be inclined from the three sides
towards the pulpit, and at the front
of the building will be over eight
feet above the sidewalk and will be
reached by flight of wide steps
made of cement moulded in proper
form.
The side entrance will be on a
level with the walk and the stairs
placed on the inside.
The entrance to the Sunday-schoo
rooms will be directly under the
front steps at the side and also from
the side entrance.
The roof of the portico will be
supported by five large Ionic col
umns which extends up to the cor
nice of the main building.
The entrance to the trout of the
building is made through two set of
large double doors, faced with oxi-
died iron.
There are two flights of stairs
leading to the gallery placed on
each side of the building, one flight
close to the pulpit, and one from
the vestibule. The stairs leading

The Greatest Things Are the Simplest
The trouble with us is that we look

things are the simplest In hunting for
roses we trample the daisies under our

blessings near us because we are look
ing so far away for them Everything
depends upon the power of the mind to
see opportunities. 1t is the eye that can
see the chance, the pluck and determi-

LAP1NEsn COMPETITION.

There seems to be an idea among GER
tain Of our manufacturers and exporters
that our trade I'm the far east is to be
seriously affected by japanese compe-
titlon. It is somewhat surprising to
find the fear constantly expressed that
this great country, with all its vast re-
sources and possibilities. is really in
danger Of being outstrlpped in its ASH
attic trade by the nation that has just
come out of a most destructive war,
from which 1t will take her years to re-
cover. Such a view seems a sort of con-
fession Of the inability of the American
people to successfully compete with a
country not by one-tenth part so well
equipped for the trade battle in the far
east.
In an address few days ago before
the Massachusetts State Board Of Trade,
the president OF that organization, Mr..
Of, japanese merchants in establishing
cotton mills in Japan and said it would
result in Japan becoming a vigorous
competitor in the contiguous Asiatic ter
ritory, especially China. He thought
there was danger of Japan absorbing
Americas cotton industry in China.
There is no doubt of the possibility of
this, but it does not seem to be a matter
about which there need be any immedi-
ate concern. The question that naturally
presents itself is as to how long it will
take Japan to place herself in position
to absorb the cotton trade of Asia now
held by this country. Having just come
out of a great war. that has made a
tremendous drain upon her financial re-
sources, and in fact left her very nearly
impoverished, Japan cannot immedi-
ately enter upon very active career
Of industrial and commercial develop
ment. That she will do something in
this direction with the least possible de-
lay there can be no doubt. The Japa-
nese understand fully their opportuni-
ties and they may be expected to take
advantage Of them as rapidly as pos

cannot be obtained at once and conse-
quently Japan's industrial growth must
be gradual she will be able to push
forward only as rapidly as she can OBJ
tain money to promote her industries
and commerce and with her present
heavy Indebtedness it will not be an
altogether easy matter to secure for
elgn loans, If Japan should desire to
do so.
In the meantime it is to be presumed
that American manufacturers will cult
vate to the utmost the opportunity to
secure trade in the Aslatic countries
and especially in China. There is an
obstacle in the latter country due to
our explosion policy, but this is not in
sdrmountable. 1t is not as serious now
as few months ago and may soon dis
appear altogether. Japanese competi-
ton in the far east is certain to be
reckoned with, but it is not likely to
become very formidable in the near
future.

PLAYING KING oANnrE.

The direct primary is just as unavoid-
able as railroad rate regulation. Re-
sistance to these reforms on the part of
railway corporations will prove unavail-
ing against the irresistible force of pub
lie sentiment and corporation politicians
and organs may as well submit grace
fully. The primary election law enacted
by the recent legislature for Douglas
county exclusively is, Doubtless, de-
fective in may particulars and may be
pronounced unconstitutional by the
courts. The resolutions of the repub-
lican state convention, declaring in
favor of direct primaries may have been
a sop thrown to the reform element of
the party, but it has struck n responsive
chord in the rank and file of the party
that instinctively regards it as the fore
runner of emancipation from corporate
domination.
1t was naturally to have been ex-
pected that corporation spokesman
would seek to create prejudice against
1t, and it is not surprising that they
should seek to discourage the movement
in it's favor Our amiable cOntempor-
airy, the Lincoln Star, for example,
which voices the sentiment of corporate
leadership. has labored hard ever since
the direct primary resolutions were
adopted by the republican state con-
vention to stem the tide Of primary
election reform by specious arguments
and absurd objections. Its latest alb
surdity is embodied in the following

that the next legislature shall enact a

DEPARTMENTAL REFORMS.

A few months ago President Roose-
welt appointed commission charged
with the duty Of investigating the bust
ness methods in the various depart.
ments and bureaus of the government
The object of this was to ascertain
what reforms could be introduced, what
could be done in the way of dispensing
with or modifying certain red tape meth.
DDS long in vogue and which were be
lieved to be an obstruction to business
and what was desirable in order to
simplify and facilitate business.
This commission has been actively
engaged in the work assigned 10 II since
its appointment and it is stated that
the work is now reaching point where
it is likely to take some definite form
before a great while, either in the way
of actual plans for changes in methods
or else Of suggestions and recommended
tons regarding the steps that had bet
ter be taken. The Washington CORE.
spondent of an eastern paper remarks
that the commission has been some
what under fire ever since its inception
and that various newspapers identified
with local interests have from time to
time given it a rap as opportunity Of
fered. But this correspondent says that
so far as can be judged by unprecedented
witnesses the methods pursued by the
commission in it's investigations have
been more careful, scientific and ac-
curate than those which have been fol-
lowed out by any investigating body
appointed by the government for a
good while. at seems to be clear, al
though the information gathered by the
commission has not been published, that
it has succeeded in getting many re-
suits of very great interest and value,
while there can be ne doubt that in a
number of different respects conditions
in the departments have already stiff
fened up as a result of the commits
sion's work"
This sufficiently justiies the wisdom
of instituting the investigation. Even
In advance of it's report and recon-
mendations there has taken place re-
form and improvement In departmental
and bureau methods. The simple fact
is that the president, from personal oh
servation and information, had become
convinced that the business methods in
the executive departments of the govern
ment could be improved, that there was
too much ''red tape" and circumlocu-
ton, that a great deal of time was being
wasted in one way and another, and
that a general reform in methods was
needed. In order to arrive at the facts
the commission was appointed and there
appears to be every reason to expect
that the result will be not only de-
cided improvement in the efficiency of
the public service, but a material reduc-
ton in expenses. This movement for
departmental reforms is conclusive evil
dence of the earnest purpose of the ad-
ministration to elevate the public serv-
ice to the highest standard of efficiency.
