LIBRARY REPORT.
Miss FernaId Makes the Report of De-
Cember Work at the Building.

The December report of Miss
Fernald, city librarian, states that
with the exception of Christmas the
library was open for reading and
reference every day Of the month
and for the distribution of books Is
days.
The total number of volumes is
sued was 1905, a daily average of AZ
of which 1876 or 19a per cent. were
non-fction. The largest circulation
on any one day was 70. Owing to the
preparation for the various Christ
mas entertainments which were given
in the churches and schools we note
considerable decrease in the circu-
lation in the juvenile department.
However $50 books Of fiction and
/ 100 of non-fction were issued.
There were 40 new registrations,
5 of which were from the country.
The reference workers, Of whom
there were 40, have been enjoying
the privileges of a small library on
French history and literature which
by courtesy of the state commits
sion has been loaned us for a
period of six months. The readers
4 this month numbered AS of whom
358 we're children. The largest daily
attendance was rs.
The Story hour which proved SO
successful in November was equally
so in December. Among other
suitable stories for the month the
Christmas story was told and illus
trated with reproductions of works
of art. New posters have been
hung appropriate to the season.
The library has been the recipient
this month of about 2 score books,
as we'll as some magazines. A A.
volume set of Shakespeare which
was much needed to supply the in
cessant demand of the high school
students was given by Mrs. Robin
son, 8 books of fiction by Mrs. Vale,
| Il juvenile books by Mr.. Race, a
volume of poems by Mr.. Leroy
Davis Of Sleepy Eye, a volume of
his poems by Robert Givler, and a
Is volume set of Modern Eioquence
by Mr.. Apitz.
This last named set is an edition
de luxe" and is a most valuable
acquisition to our library. A refer
!. ence which comprises lectures, after
dinner speeches, anecdotes, political
orations, etc. It is edited by Thomas
Reed and a large number Of the
most distinguished speakers of this
country and Great Britain have
selected their own best speeches,
many of these articles are here
printed for the first time from
original manuscript. 1t is of just
such works that the library stands
in need and we cannot thank the
donor too heartily.
Mrs. Powell also presented the
library with Christmas gift a
picture of California sunset, which
was hung the Saturday before
Christmas and which is, we hope,
the first of many such gifts as a
library is the place for works of art
in the realm of art as well as in
literature.

continuity of the tunnel would be
broken nearly midway in the strait by
the larger of the Diomed Islands, but
each of the two tunnels would be con
siderably longer than the Simplon tun-
mel, now the longest tunnel in the
world.
r., What Russia Is Doing.
In spite of her political and financial
difficulties, Russia has just taken steps
to decide upon the best route in Siberia
and to make practical study of the
tunnel project. Early in December last
fa commission was appointed to investi,
gate these, questions on the ground, and
it will begin it's work next spring. The
St. Petersburg newspapers say that it
is estimated that the cost of building
the tunnel and the Siberian section OF
the road will be about $3.50, 100000
This is probably preliminary estimate
upon which little reliance can be
placed
What are the real reasons for the
| genuine interest which Russia is tax
ing in this enormous project? The
most important among them may BIZ
briefly mentioned here. ;.
Before the recent war very important
development had occurred in south
east Siberia in it's agricultural, mining
and commercial interests, all Of which
was directly traceable to the completion
Of the Trans-Siberian railroad. Thi
development was not accompanied b,
parallel progress in the north, but, il

will best serve the interests of COM
Inerce. For much of the way the route
is not far from the sea, whose influ-
ence mOdifes the extreme cold of win
ter. Most of the rivers to be crossed
are small, and there are no great floods
in the early summer. There are no
towering mountain ranges to cross, for
the route is between the ocean and
the ranges that extend parallel with
it. More than half of the way is thru
heavily wooded country, protection
against drifting snow.
In connection with this route, branch
routes have been planned leading up
thru low passes to northern mining dis
tricts among the mountains and to
Yakutsk on the Lena, which, tho the
second coolest town in the world-its
winter temperature being much colder
than that of the settlements Of the
west coast Of Greenland-has popu-
lation Of 5000, and is growing more
and more important as a mining cen
ter, while in the region around it cat
tie raising is becoming large industry.
| ! It is expected that all the prelim-
mary studies for the railroad will be
made within the next year; but there
is no telling when Russia will be in
/ position to invest the large amount
Of money required to build the line.
Her present financial position is de-
plorable, and the government railroads
have not been paying expenses for
some time. Nobody doubts, however,
that land SO richly blessed with nat
ural wealth as Russia is will see pros
perity again when good government
and peace at home and abroad are its
portion. The educated classes arc

The objections to the northern route
across the tundra are very serious. The
spongy soil of the tundra is deep and,
in the short, hot summer the ground is
yielding, and many engineers believe it
would be difficult to establish there a
stable roadbed. Then, in winter, the
snowfall is enormous, which would be
a great impediment; in the early sum-
mer the snow is melted in a short time
by the excessive heat and the whole
region is turned into a vast lake which
the rivers cannot carry off for weeks.
We all know that excessive cold
always interferes with the movement of
our trains. Now this proposed north

YEARLY everybody has laughed
~ at the fantastic project Of
connecting New York with
Parts by rail. Only Frenchmen
and Russians treat the matter Sc
riously. The French, originating the
project some ten years ago, have me-
morialized every government thru
whose territory the road would pass.
The French press and scientific peri
odicals today give sober consideration
and encouragement to the scheme. The
Russians have reasons of their own for
heartily favoring it. =.
They say that the plan is perfectly
feasible. Their engineers and explors
ers have written scores of articles on
the practicability of the scheme. They
have treated the matter, as far as it
relates to Russian territory. in all it's
aspects, and have especially discussed
the comparative merits of the different
routes proposed from Boring Strait
thru northern Siberia to the Trans.
Siberian railroad in the south.
The project, in brief, is to connect
the existing railroads in America with
Bering Strait by line running north
thru Canada and Alaska, Bering Strai:
to be crossed by bridge or a tunnel
and the rails to be carried thru north
eastern Siberia to the Trans Siberian
railroad.
The Russians have rejected the idea
of a bridge across Boring Strait as Of
doubtful practicability. Their engin

belts of the ezar Is Asiatic domain. to;
the more temperate and promising
zones.
The railroad had the effect to attract
all enterprises to the southeast. The
European outposts in the Chukche coun-
try of the northeast were gradually
abandoned, the settlements along the
Kolyma, Yana and Irdigirka rivers de-
clined, and some of the old colonies of
the eighteenth century were wholly de-
serted. Everybody hocked to the south,
tho Russia was just beginning to find
new riches in the north.
It was learned over three years ago
that the gold-bearing areas Of Alaska
apparently extend under Bering strait
and reappear on the neighboring shores
of Asia.

/ 1t was also found that among these
mountains and along the coastal plain
| was a great reserve for the fur trade
still untouched except in it's southern
part, where a fur company. was carrying
on a barter trade with the natives al
profit Of 500 to 1000 per cent.
Russia is fully convinced that there
are vast resources in minerals, furs anG
forests in part of this northeastern
extension of Siberia, and that they are
comparatively worthless until an outlet
is provided.
As the outcome of the war the empire
has lost much Of it's opportunity ant
irfluence in East Asia. The government
policy is now turning eagerly to the
idea of doing everything it can to de
velop the .neglected arts Of Siberia, boil

for the. energies Of the Russian people
This is the reason that commission

/ posed routes for the railroad to which
they will give attention. T.
The route that at first seemed to b
most in favor is shown by a dotted lin

towns Of Verchoyansk and Yakutsk an
thence down the Lena river to Irkutsk
where it would meet the Trans-Siberia
road. This project has developed stron

tends southwest to Gishiga, then skirts

below the freezing point. =
The last formidable objection that
is urged to this route is that on the
way to Yakutsk the trains would have
to cross two mountain ranges thru
passes that are about 1000 and 1000
feet above the level Of the tundra
These objections have been urged SC
forcibly that the general opinion in
Russia now is that there is very little
prospect that the northern route tc
the Lena river will be selected.
Some Of the moss prominent engi
neers argue, on the other hand, that
not a single serious objection can be
