CISPIAN SEAPORT " FADES FROM VIEW MVMSK, Once Prosperots, .Now Like Fishing Village ‘Washington, novodsk, Transcaspla, largest sea- ‘port on the eastern shore of the Cas- ‘plan Sea, is reported to be slowly fading from the map,” says a bul- letin from the Washington, D. C. .Headquarters of the National Geo- graphic society. When the city was built by Rus- sian army engineers, more than half a century ago, it was destined to be- come the most impertant military 'post and commercial port in Asiatic {Russia. But after a short period of ‘prosperity, when it vied with Baku, Astrakhan and Persian ports on the Caspian, it began to decline until it Js now little more than a fishing vil- lage., Seventy Feet Below Sea Level In its early days the growth of Krasnovodsk was phenomenal, con- sidering its location, continues the bulletin. It is spread out at the foot 'of bare, converging, sun-parched ‘hils, seventy feet below sea level, with several hundred miles of desert isand at its back door. When its -~ founders arrived there fresh water | and grass were lacking. In less than ten years wharves were built, water distilleries established, and the population increased vodsk earned the right to be called a Russian city. Krasnovodsk became the gate- way to central Asia for the Tsar's ‘troops when they entered Turkestan. The road from Krasnovodsk to | Samarkand is said to have been lit- erally paved with the bones of soldiers of the Russian army who | perished from lack of water and | food and disease and sunstroke. Turkoman: in their foot-high sheepskin hats. Arabs in their ti ly wound Kkaffeyehs and flowin robes and fez-bedecked Persians, all mingled with the Ru trading palces. Distributing Center F The road now is tr ‘Transcaspia i southern e (desert, nearly touching the border for mxm) miles, veering off northward to & and Tashkent, in the rich tural regions of Turkestan. A } line runs south from Merv to Kushk Post near the Afghan border. The removal of the railway ter- minus from Uzan Ada to Krasnov- odsk gave the new city the a boom tewn. Soon it became th distributing center not only of Rus sion troops but of oil, grain and other commodities from Europe des- tined for Geok, Tepe, Askhabad, Bokhara and other important cen- tral Asiatic points along the rail- road. Later political conditions in the neighborhood of Krasnovodsk be- came impossible. ‘commercial shipments were delayed and the transshipment of commerc across the Caspian sea from Baku s became increasingly expensive and Tomikowski & Dawson The Store For You 361 Main Street National League umpires this season are proving by a real test that Mid- dishade Blue Serge Suits are ‘‘Safe”.

This caused the shippers to look for new routes to central Asia and Turkestan via Sa- mara and Orenburg, Russia, thence directly southeast to Tashkent, an all rail route. The railway station, two churches and the wharves approached by un- kempt, sloven thoroughfares, are all that remain as reminders of Kras- novodsk's better days. The station, a long, gray stone structure of ori- ental architecture, that any city would be proud to possess, is almost deserted. One cannot help but con- trast ite present deserted condition with the days when. the ralls crackled under fast moving trains]| and the shrill whistles of the loco- motives screeched day and night. Boats ply between Baku and Kras- novodsk, a ride of 16 to 18 hours, but the wharves are almost as de- serted as the railroad station. The sea-going vessels that anchored in the harbor while Caspian trade was brisk, have been displaced by small fishing smacks, row boats and dilapi- dated barg: STUDYING LIFE OF PRIMITIVE ESKIMO Two Anthropologists Delving Into Past of Race (P —Traditions, of life of the <imos of Alaska by two anthro- | Seattle, Aug. 26 language and ma more primitive I are being studied | pologists. | Nunivak Tsland, midway. between the Aleutians and Nome, is the field which ry B.
