CONSUL EERGH REPORTS.
Tells Manufacturers What to Send to
Sweden.

i Sweden.
Robert S. S. Bcrgh, United States
consul, at Gothcnhurg. Sweden, has is
sued Il hint to Americans in n report on
his station. 1t will not specially inter-
est his friends in Grand Forks and the
Northwest generally, but it shows that
Mr.. Bergh is widc-awake and docs not
propose to let American interests suf-
fer while lie is around to point the way.
Calling attention to the neglect shown
| by American automobile manufacture
crs and electrical companies, lie re-
ports us follows:
''Many business mon here think that
the import of motor carriages into
Sweden. il onca properly started, would
be considerable, provided they can be
made durable. neat in appearance. safe
and easy to handle, and not too eX-
pensivc. Cab owners. especially in
| Stockholm. are considering the adviSl-
| bility Of purchasing motor carriages,
and !, short time ago they sent experts
to Berlin 10 study and examine motor
cabs manufactured in Germany. The
report they made OH their return was
not altogether favorable. They said
that automobiles which. in catalogues,
seemed TO be ideals of perfection, in re-
ality did not come up to expectations.
'lhe chief objection to motor cabs,
with accrmulators or storage batteries.
was that they could not make sharp
enough turns. The cabs were built
with the batteries placed close to the
back wheels. Tho steering power Of
rlle front wheels was so small that the
carriages could turn only in very large
curves. making them unfit for use on
narrow streets. Another Inconvenience
was that as soon as the carriages got
GU IL road covered with Il layer Of sand
an incl, thick, they stopped hclplessly.
eat present there is only a petroleum
motor carriage and Il light motorcycle
in Golilcnburg. both Of French manu-
factura. l believe there is an American
motor carriage in Stockholm: but
American manufacturers ought to pay
attention. Also to the markets in the
other cities of this kingdom, especially
Gothrnhurg and Malno. 1t would be
of great advantage for American firms
to he represented here at once.
"Another thing of Importance is cleo
trical machinery in general. Which will
be in great demand rs soon as tho pco-
pie have fully learned the value OF
their numerous waterfalls. a large
electric power plant will soon be built
at Trollhattan; electric railways and
tramways are being planned i'll Goth

this line, as in everything else, the
Germans are always watchful: they
pay close attention to details. and. if
necessary, send experts here to study
plans. etc. whereby they greatly in
crease their chances to Introduce ma
chircry. If it is not practical for
Americans to do likewise, they could,
possibly. employ active agents to repre-
sent them here.
"Electrc motor carriages are prefer
rod for city traffic. Those with bcn-
zine motors are said to be noisy and to

buy new ones and wear them; that we
are in various ways compelled to
change; that we are rooted out now

some of us profit by this change. Once
lifted out of the rut We stay up on the

us, and where we can lay about freely
