One Of the principal Siberian cities
Is Tobolsk, the commercial center OF
the vast province OF Tobolsk, which
extends over an area OF 100000 square
miles, n large portion OF which, how
ever, Is practically uninhabited. Pie
most prominent building in the city Is
the Kremlln, built in Imitation OF the
great citadel In Moscow. This struc-
ture was erected by Swedish prisoners
Of war captured by Peter the Great
at the battle OF Poltaya Ia 100.
