quired a movement of population
which would bo facllltuled by (be
opening of roads for wagon transport.
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.
Over this nialu tilherian highway
passed thousands of colonists, many of
llx-in pnlitirnl exiles from Hus.sia. oth

up Iheir resldeuce along the main SI-

a main line of connection between
scattered settlcmentH of natives of
various races, who bud previously
made limited use of trulls ami rivers
for Intercourse wlih each other, and
for comiiierco with the world outside.
It formed the only route by which the
inlerlor of Siberia could he reached
from easl or west ; while the only oth
er route were the caravan trails
across the mountains and deserts to
tile hoiilh. and the difficult passages
of the Kara sen Into the mouths of
the Ob n lift Veuesei rivers.
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. Most of this road could be
covered easily by vehicle, except in
the stretch between Sretcnsk and
Khabarovsk. 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. The portion
of the route bdween the river Shilka
and Khabarovsk Is called tho Amur
lllchwny.
