"Out of the forty horses purchased from you only two casualties have taken place, one dying of sunstroke and another of dysentery. Our march of 600 miles was made under the most unfavorable conditions for horses, and I think I am not on- larging on the truth when I say that no other class of horses in the world could have stood the misery and hardships which our Northâ€"\V'est horses went through since they left Halifax, After 8,000 miles of sea voyage, without any exercise and very little feed, a week’s rest at Cape Town on a. hot sandbank. five days packed up in small close cars. and then sent away on a 600 mile trip with poor feed and water and a heavy load. Still we can muster a larger percentage of horses to-day that are fit for duty than any other mounted corps which landed in South Africa this year.

According to a report made to the Russian Government by Herr Gotta. who for ayear past has been examln- ing the "tundra" between the rrvers of Obi and Pertchnra. it seems that the building of the line could fbe ma n- uged without any great exp-endllure of capital and consequently every- thing new depends on the report of the expedition, sent to find a place for a good harbor at the Petchorae mouth. The realization of these projects. by assisting the export of Slberlan pro- duce will ooniar agreat benefit upon England. SPEOIOUS REASONIN G.
