Settling Siberia.

Omsk, Siberia, has become the out
fitting point for an extraordinary MI
grafton, estimated at 100000 people
annually, which pours into the country
bordering on Mongolia. Nothing In
Europe or Asia has ever been quite
so like the springing up of the great
cities of the American middle west
as is the growth today Of new towns
in Siberia. Except that the tide Is
moving east instead of west the move
ment has many parallels to the won
derful migration which won the west
for America. There are, however, two
striking differences. The first Is that
the pioneering is comparatively luxu-
rious compared to the American move
ment, while the natives, instead Of be-
ing swept aside, are being absorbed
by intermarr1age with the settler. The
ten-day journey up the Irish river
from Omsk into the promised land is
made by steamboats, which are the last
word in the luxury and convenience OF
river traffic.
