It was in lil'li tliiil the town of Kkatorlnburff was founded, and In 17G- plana wero made for projecting a road toward Tiumen and theucv across the iSlberlan ateppes, Th( route followed waa that of (be present ISIberlaD rail way. Work was delayed for aome years by cbiitigeif of government, but tho road was finally completed along the line proposed.

The Sibirsky-Trakt. Of the main highways used as pos tal routes, the principal road Is the famous Sihlrsky-Trakt, over 4,iK) miles long, following, as has been said, the siiinw route as the Trans-Siberian railway.

IJetween those towns Hhoiif 570 tn lies of road run he made by vehicle, while the rest, HH miles, Is covered by a park horse trail over (he mountains, giving an alternative roule to the river Shilka. The trail is used through the fall and spring only, while the rircr serves for boat, trans port In summer, and fledge transport over the lie In winter.
