Vodka is the one drink which per-

Siberia just as In European Russia.

vodka was sold in Vladivostok at about
fifty kopeeks or IS cents gold a pint.
Hardin, which is located in Manchuria
and consequently is under Chinese
control, is the nearest place to V1ad-
iiVostok where liquor is now sold and
the liquor smuggled in from that point
| for secret sale in Vladivostok brings
as much as five rubIes, or about $3.50
gold, a pint. This price is prohibitive
| for most men of the humber classes.

Wars Effects In Labrador.

The far-reaching influences of the.
present war are illustrated by the eff
feet it Is having on the Indian and
half-breed trappers of Labrador and
Hudson bay, says an exchange. The
various companies which carry on the
traffic in pelts in this northern re-
gion are curtailing their operations.
and although steamers Of the New
foundland sealing fleet will 60 north
In the coming summer, as In previous
years, to take supplies for the fur
trading posts and to embark the
stocks Of furs and fish collected dur
Ing the past twelve months. they will
carry much smaller quantities of trad
ing goods and provisions than hereto
fore. This policy is dictated by the
fact that since the war began valuable
furs have been a drug in the worlds
markets, and little prospect OF any
betterment Is foreshadowed until aft
er hostilities terminate and old-time
conditions of prosperity revive.
