Regions in North Russia
Free of Invading Hosts
In The Perils of War
WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 14.-
Unlike the other belligerents, vulner
able in every part, Russia has unlimit
ed reaches of territory where no
wounds of war could be inflicted,
where the invaders would ever come,
and where, if they came, their coming
would be to no purpose, as it could
work no damage, Such a security
from the perils of far is enjoyed by the
north of Russia, by the wild thinly
peopled governments of Archangel and
and Olonets, which are described as
follows in the latest bulletin of the
National Geographic Society:
“In the north of European Russia
stretches a land of endless forests ,of
immense belts of moor wastes, and of
grayish tundra which blurs as far as
the eye can reacjj into uncertain hor
izons. Here mighty, unfrequented riv
ers cut their ways to the northern wa
ters, some drowsy and reed-cluttered
and others swift and strong and cas
cade-broken. Here are innumerable
pleasant, wooded lakes and huge in
land seas, and throughout all of th<
royal reaches of this north are good
hunting and wilderness.,
“Archangel is the only city in this
region whose name is known in the
outside world, and the only place that
has been able to achieve an individual
distinction in the midst of the vast
ness, the desolation and the congeal-

Her Cooking
A Burden. P
You hear some women say, '1 y
like a coal-stove best for cooking l u u
because it gives more heat.” j «
How true, especially in summer!
This picture shows the back date
way of cooking. It tells its own
story —the woman hot and tired and
worried over the time she is wasting 11 --
waiting for a hot oven.
If you are one of this class get /
out of it. Buy a gas range and
lighten your burdens.

ing winters of Russia’s north. There
is much economic value in the north,
the forests are filled with valuable fur
bearing animals, the lower forests ar-i
rich in noble trees, the higher forests
in pitch and tar, the tundras in rein
deer herds, and great sturgeon are
caught through the ice of the rivers,
which produce quantities of this
delicate fish meat and caviar.
“The English established a trading
‘factory,’ near present Archangel, dur
ing the reign of Ivan the Terrible, and
since their coming the region has beer
exploited by pioneers, by adventurous
traders, trappers, huntsmen and fisher
men, but the country has never passed
the pioneer stage. The roads, for the
most part, are barely marked trails,
narrow, unleveled ribbons through
vast forests, indifferently corduroyed
causeways through swamp and mars'i
lands and uncertain tracks through
the northern tundra. Post stations
are scattered over the governments,
far apart, where hardy little horses
and prehistoric types of conveyances
are kept for the occasional trader, the
occasional letter and the rare visitor.
The villages are small and poor and
forgetful of the modern world and all
that it contains. Between them are
leagues of solitude.
“The northern Dvina and the Pech
ora are the two great rivers of the

114 Jackson Street. Over Sparks,
country, and, before the railroad pen
etrated to Archangel, they formed th
commercial outlet of the land to the
Arctic Sea. The famous and fabulous
ly wealthy monastery of Solovetski an
nually attracts 15,000 pilgrims into
the far north, to the wooded island
fourteen hours sailing from Archangel
in the Gulf of Onega on which it is
situated. This monastery was founded
in 1429. It was bombarded by the Eng
lish fleet during the Crimean War, and
the marks of hostile shells are still
proudly shown.
“The northern peasants are very in
dependent, quite the most independent
of all the Russians. They have the
self-reliance and self-respect of true
pioneers, and, as free hunters in the
forests and prospectors of the tundra,
they share many of the characteristics
of the free, careless people of our own
early West and of the present Canad
ian Northwest. Lacking even in the
rudiments of education, picturesque in
their costumes, primitive in their cus
toms, they are a simple, straight
forward, stalwart and hospitable peo
ple.
Some of their songs linger long in
memory. Their tales are stirring, of
privation and of adventure. Their
woods are full of game, and their riv
ers are lavishly stocked with fish.
Woodcock, capercailzie, tree-partridge
and blackcock are to be shot in abund
ance among the trees that fringe each
village. In the forests are foxes,
wolves, and sombre Russian bears,
nursing their perpetual grouches. The
peasants sometimes hunt the bear.,
armed only with long knives. Wolves
however, are the most thrilling quarry
They are hunted in summer and au
tumn on horseback; the hunters, aided
by trained hounds, drag down the wolf |
and stab it to death. This is exciting
and dangerous sport. In winter, they
are hunted by parties in sleighs, and
often the quarry hunts the hunters, the
pack racing by the side of the sleigh
snapping at the cold rifle buzzles and
at the horses. This sport is also evhil
irating.
“In autumn, in the ‘time of change’
this whole region is shut off from the
outside world, the roads become im
passable and all communication ceas
es. There are 20 words for ice, 11 for
cold, 41 for snow and 25 for the pro
cess of freezing in the speech of the
Lapps, and this goes far toward mak
ing plain the autumns, the winters and
the early springs of North Russia.’’
CANADIAN PREMIER MEETS
THE WOUNRED SOLDIERS
DEAL, England, September 14.—A
Canadian soldier sent to this coast re
sort on sick leave was walking along
th e sea front when he was stopped by
a man in civilian dress who shook his
hand vigorously and asked him how he
was getting on. “Very well, thank
you,” said the soldier.
“You don't know me?” asked the
stranger.
“No,” was the reply.
“Well, my name is Borden, and I
am quite well known in Canada.”
The Canadian rifleman came to at
tention and saluted.
The Premier spent the day on the
sea front, exchanging stories with the
wounded soldiers. He was just be
ginning a week’s holiday motor trip
around England.
