If this wheat were taken to western Russia or any poiht of export across the country hundreds of miles of land transportation would be required.. But herethe f Novorosayisk near at hand: The harbor is deep and het,- .er freezes aver in winter, so it is open to business the year round. All that was needed to stimulate the growth a the townwas a railroad to the pro- ductive interior. The road was built. The town began to grow and to -day the largest building in it is an ini- raense storehouse for cereals, which holds 110,000,000 pou.nds of wheat and is a great convenience in loading wheat on the steamers. ' Along this line of railroad also the production of petrol- eum, the raising af tobacco and the manufacture of Portland cement are impoetant and growing industries. There is every reason to believe that Nevorossyisk will become one • of the most important eitiea on the Black Sea, and Ibarel are "vet:y few Russian .sittes whioh have had similar rapid db- velopment.
