52 AMONG THE CELESTIALS. [CHAP. Il.
the colonel, " had had this country, you would
have made a magnificent place of it by now ;
but our Russians have none of that colonising
spirit you have, and the country is only slowly
opened up." Since that time, however, the
Siberian railway has been taken in hand. The
Russians are waking up in earnest, and a great
future ought to lie before these magnificently
fertile tracts of Eastern Siberia. What the
Chinese colonists have been able to do on their
side of the border is a type of what the Rus-
sians could do also. And with a railway to aid
in its development, all these regions about the
Amur and its tributaries ought to equal the
most thriving parts of Canada.
