in all Russia, a city Of merchant
princes, of bursting warehouses and
miles of crowded docking, Of vigorous
Teutonic architecture and cosmopoli-
tan organization, with Il hurrylng,
tense business life that finds Its coun-
terpart In New York and Hamburg,
lies near the head of the Gulf Of Riga,
d few miles northeast of Mitau. Riga
is great commercial city. 1t stands
third among Russia's seaports, and
second among all the ports upon the
Baltic sea, where commercial cities
have been growing and building for
centuries. The city Is 1863 miles south
west of Petrograd, and Is filled with
the spirit Of modern business. 1t Is
main gateway into vast Russian him
terlands, and is, probably, the most up
to-date city to be found from Vladl.
Nostok to Libau.
Riga Is second only to Petrograd In
population and industry. German
merchants Of the thirteenth century
laid the foundations Of its commercial
renown. 1t was founded In 1901, and
many German colonists soon found
their way to the new city, attracted
thither by the many commercial privl-
leges granted by its founder. Riga be-
came powerful, flourshing member
of the Hanseatic league, the great
merchant trust Of the Middle Ages.
With Hamburg, Bremen, Lubbock,
Stralsund and scores of its fellow
banded cities, Riga grew In wealth
and trade connections; boats from all
parts of the world ran in and out OF
its river harbor, and 1t enjoyed the
proud development Of German "free
city,"
Near the middle Of the sixteenth
century, Riga passed into the power
of the king Of Poland. The headlong
Gustavus Adolphus Of Sweden brought
up In his course Of conquest with a
shock before its walls In 1901, and, on
ly after long hard siege, was he
able to take the city. Riga passed to
the control Of the Russians In ITO.
Looks Like a German Port.
Riga has the appearance of a Ger
man port. The older part Of the port
looks like medieval German town,
Catoctin clarion., 1917-10-04

while new Riga might be Bremen. 1t
has none of the happy-go-lucky Sla-
yonic air about 1t, and so, for the tour
lst, 1t is disappointing. Before the
war German was the language OF Its
business and German was the idiom
of its streets and homes. Official Riga
was Russian, and, as Riga is the seat
of the governor general Of the Baltic
provinces, this official element was OF
much significance.
For the most part, Riga Is a very
modern city. Its older buildings have
been torn down to make way for struc-
lures more up-to-date, more suited to
the prosperity of business city. 1t
Is situated ON the River Duena, ten
miles above the mouth of the Gulf OF
Riga, and it Is bound to the Baltic oy
canals. It has princes Of finance and
trade, and they have lined many Of its
avenues with modern villas and pal
aces. As an example of the city's
growth, it may be mentioned that Riga
erected more than 1900 new business

cent year and that most of these build
ings We're equipped with elevators,
open plumbing, vacuum cleaning, CEN
trail refrigerating and steam heating
plants.
A strong and varied industry has
grown up in the port city. Machinery,
railway cars, lumber, leather, candles,
tiles, glass, tobacco and other products
are turned out in Its numerous fac
tories. The annual value Of the arti-
cles manufactured in Riga exceeds
$3O,0O0,000.
The average value of Riga's exports
is well over $35,OOO,00O. Its imports
total about $sO,O000U each year. The
exports include cereals, flax, flaxseed'
eggs, lumber and butter. It's chief inn
ports are machinery, cotton, coal and
groceries. 1t has thrifty, well-to-do
population of more than 100000.

~ the name given to kron-
stadt and the small Island
of Kotlin which 1t occupies,
but more appropriate name would
be 1.-THE Gibraltar of Petrograd,' for
the supposedly impregnable fortress
commands the sea avenue to the great
Russian capital, says a bulletin OF
the National Geographic society.
The Island of Kotlin, which Is a
little more than seven miles long and
a mile and quarter wide, lies at the
western extremity of the Bay Of Neva,
in the fresh water discharged by the
River Neva. To the west Is the Gulf
of Finland.
Kotln was first fortified in 1903 by
Peter the Great, when 1t was wrested
from the Swedes, but 1t was not until
seven years later. that the great mon
arch laid out the town Of Kronstadt
and began the systematic erection or
its defenSeS. Three hundred thousand
men are said to have been employed
on this work, but it was not completed
until the reign of Peters daughter
Elizabeth.
lntersected by Canals.
The town, which had population
of 65, 900 at the beginning of the world
war, is intersected by two waterways
the Canal of Peter the Great, begun
in 1921, but not completed until 81
years later, and the Catherine canal,
constructed in 1882. Between these
two canals stands the Italian palace
of Prince Menschikoff, one of the
most picturesque figures in all Rus
sian history. Born of the most humble
parents, Menschikoff at the age OF
twenty was selling meat pies In the
streets of Moscow when he attracted
the attention of Lefort, Peter the
Greats favorite. On the death of the
latter MenschikoG succeeded to the
place of honor with his sovereign and
served him energetically. 1t is said OF
Menschikoff that he could drill regi-
ment, build a frigate, administer a
province and decapitate q rebel with
equal facility Upon the death OF
Peter he became the virtual ruler OF
Russia during the brief reign Of Pc
