LONGEST RAILROAD TRIP IN THE WORLD

Concerning Kuropatkin's history of
the Russo-Japanese war, and his
description of the long trip from
st. Petersburg to Manchuria, the
Chicago Record-Herald says:
In the long list of complaints re-
corded in General Kouropatkin's his
tory Of the Russo-Japanese war there
was one against the Trans-Siberian
railroad. The general says that
though the minister of war reported
that it could carry twelve trains each
way daily this number had not been
reached up to the end of the war.
1t is of some interest to note in
this connection that our vice consul
general at Mukden, Nelson Fairchild.
has been considering the attractions
of the road for travellers and has laid
out a trip that should be satisfying
to tourists bent on making long dis
tances.
He begins with a journey from
London to st. Petersburg that takes
four days and half. This is a pre-
liminary jaunt, with 6521 miles ahead
to Vladivostok, and rate of progress
that makes the most of each linger-
ing mile.
After a nights ride to Moscow II
takes eight days to reach Irkutsk.
From there to Harbin the run re-
quires five days, and from Hardin to
Vladivostok the distance is covered
in thirty-six holirs
This is the longest transcontinental
road, but the line is partly ex-
planned by light rails and poor fuel.
The speed, we are told, rarely ex-
ceeds twenty-five miles an hour.
AS regards accommodations. the
express from Moscow to Irkutsk cons
sists OF first and second class cars,
the former having compartments for
two or four persons and the latter
for four persons
Each compartment is fitted with
small table and electric reading
lamp, and there is lavatory at eth
er end of the car. From Irkutsk on
the trains are built on the same plan
hut slightly larger, with three lava
tories" Neither towels nor soap are
furnished the passengers. Where

The following resume of condition
in the Sound country following the
great floods and its effect upon the
producing sections of interior WASH
ington, is from the Yakima Repub-
lie:
It's an i'll wind that blows nobody
good, and the farmers of that part of
Washington that is east of the Cas-
cades will perhaps not be displeased
to hear that they are not going to
have a great deal of rivalry and op-
position from growers of spuds.
peaches and cauliflower on the
Sound side. Last autumn there
started over there a series of remark
able floods. and these have kept up
with regularity since that has made
all concerned resort to all kinds of
profanity.
As result the most of the farm
land along the Puget Sound country
Is today nice swamp, and all vege-
tation that ever grew there is
drowned out and lying in rotting
heaps that are enriching the ground
all right, and making an ideal soil
for that plant known as skunk cab
bage, and often sold by enterprising
peddlers as "a new form Of Chinese
lily."
This, of course, is not conducive to
raising other things, though It is
said the soil is Just about wet enough

mountains has to be irrigated to pro-
duce the hest of land; conditions
have come to such pass In the
Sound farming district that drainage
systems will have to be instituted
in the near future to make the land
worth even half that It formerly was.
From south of Tacoma up the
coast as far as Ferndale and the
farming district Immediately ada
cent, there are to be seen miles upon
miles OF flooded fields. Water is
found over there in quantities that
would make the average irrigating
farmer green with envy; but the soil

This condition over there is now
extremely serious, and 1t is not at al

How he delights his audience year in

magic-his large pictures quickly

pictures which are bound to make
you laugh while you wonder how
those hands can do 1t all-how as a

And now he has added to the mu-

musicians besides himself as soprano
saxophonist produce such entertaining
strains from these beautiful instru-

Such widely divergent effects from
