Pedersbaken, No. 1. Stavenger,
 Feb. IS. 1900. Editor. Herald, St. Johns, Ariz.:
 Dear Sir: IL has been long time since 1 have seen number of The Herald, and hence l know not whether It IS alive or dead. My hope however is that it is full of life and vitality; as it has in years past been quite interesting to me although politically l have hitherto not been able to coincide with it and yet 1 am willing to accede many good traits in democratic principles and also acknowledge that we Republicans are not perfect and if We could only unite the good Ideas iu both parties and ex- clude ali errors and be one united whole we would have just the kind of politics 1 should like. Here in Norway we hear very little about politics. This winters cold is all the people can think of at present, and it. has really been quite 6 long cold spell now. At present the trains have had to stop for snow and reports say that in places it has blown together so as to cover houses which is nprecedented of late years but it does not seem cold to me, and so far think beautiful to see the fine sleIghs dash ing through the streets in all dlrec- tions, and what g time the children have on sleds and skates down these crooked hill streets that are sometimes so steep it Is hard to get up and so nar- row that one man and one wagon can not pass one another; at places entire ly without sidewalk and at others from one to six feet.
 My health is excellent and I feel well in every respect and I wish that all the readers of The Herald may feel and be likewIse ard with kind regards to you and all remain, Yours Respectfully,
 Christopher J. Kempe'

 It is quite noticeable that the absence of snow iR the mountains causes a cor. responding absence of high spring wind which we very much appreciate.

ness of tone towards the British which
was noticeable until recently.

Britain for century to come from In
