It Is a Territory Nearly as Large
as Ireland and Useless
for Farming.

Greece, Sakhalin 1 -:land. taken by
Japan a (t•w weeks ago, will add
about ita,O1)O square miles of terri-
tory to the alikutio's empire. This
ribbonlike island. lying northwest of
Japan. et retches along the coast of
tqberia (front which a narrow sea
separates it) for a distance of 670
miles. Sakhalin has a river 250
Wiles lung and mountains 5.000 foot
high. It's by no means a vest Foe-
ket county. -.
Japanese enterprise, then, will
have plenty of room to knock about
in, but square miles aren't every-
thing. even when you can count them
by the teens of thoue-ands, and unfor-
tunately Sakhalin's climate Is no-
thing to beast of. To bo sure, tho
island isn't fur north (it lies in
about the same latitude as !'ranee),
but the Nty is almost always cloud-
ed. and the the cold currents flow-
ing from the Okhotsk `lea keep the
eastern coast pretty well ice strewn
411 mummer, while on the western
teoctet the ice from the Amur clogs
up the Harrow space between the is-
land and the mainland and long re-
mains
o-stains tn,nrclted. Nobody is ever
too warns on Sakhalin. The cli-
mate resembles that of Siberia, and
Alexnndrolfsky is colder in winter
than Archangel.
ANOTHER TIIING,
equally discoureging as far as it
goes, you can't farm to advantage
on Sakhalin. Only here and there
is the soil at alt fertile, and even
then you must content yourself with
raising market truck and expect to
get malaria while weeding your gar-
den. Such at toast has been the ex-
perience of Russian penal colonists
who have tried to wrest a living
from the soil. Moreover, the coun-
try looks every whit as inhospitable
as experiment has proved it to be.
They say that when Russian exiles
get their first glimpse of that rocky
coast Mill those grim, cloud -capped
mountains they often burst into
tears tot -every despair. When such
•of them( as aro not lido prisoners
have served their terns and become
"free colonists," they aro almost
certain to leave Sakhalin and settle
in Siberia. They call the country
of their imprisonment "The Isle of
the Lost."
Cold. untillablc, but Dig—is that
the whole story? If it. were then
we ahoul(i certainly bo at. a loss to
know why tho ponce envoy's at
Portsmouth aro haggling over the
quest ion of who is to own Sakhalin.
But thatisn't it by any moans. 'Phe
Isle of the leis( is also the Isle of
I'Otertial Wealth. I( it had no
other claim to importnnce its dense
forests n 0111(1 be enough to 'mako it
worth owning. Practically untouch-
ed, they stretch from one end of
St:khalin to the other. The Japan-
ese will know what to do with them.
COAL( AND OIL.
Besides. there is coal—nut easily
mined, but abundant. At Duey the
toughest criminals have worked
chained to their barrows, and each
year they spent in the mites has
counted as a year and a half toward
hastening their discharge. Sakhalin
has long supplied ships with fuel.
Perhaps the Japanese will develop
the coal mines to (1e full extent of
their possibilities, but it is certain
at all events thnt they will develop
the oil fields. According to C. S.
1'atonog: the oil regions of Sakhalin
aro richer then those of America.
Subterranean inkes•—some of 1h(•m
with un ales of 8,000 square feet—
lie so close to the surface that na-
tural (;ushers can 1e easily estab-
