In the near future the dangerous
grade crossing at Earle street. near the
works OF the Gorham Co. will be abolish

erected over the tracks OF the Consolidat-
ed road, one by the Gorham Co, and the
other by the Consolidated railroad
Plans for both the bridges are about
completed. and the work OF erecting the
same will probably begin with the open
ing of spring weather The Gorham
company will build a trestls bridge over
the tracks just north OF the present Earl
street crossing. and the railroad will build
a bridge over its tracks at the end OF
Adelaide avenue on abutments construct
ed at the expense OF tho city, according
TO the arrangement approved at the last
meeting OF the board Of aldermen.
With the completion OF the bridges the
crossing. one OF the most dangerous in
the state, will be abolished. Hundreds Of
persons cross the railroad tracks at this
point the greater number from the
works OF the Gorham Co, and that more
than one serious accident has not occur
red here has been due to great good luck.
As IL is there have been quite a number
OF very narrow escapes.
The company has for long time appre-
ciated the danger from It's employees be-
ing forced TO cross the tracks at Earl
street this being practically the only way
OF reaching the works. To do away with
this present necessity the Gorham COM
pany has made an arrangement with the
railroad. whereby the grade crossing Will
be abolished. and the Gorham company
will build trestle bridge extending from
Buckln street. which runs from Earl
street in front OF the site OF the old car

bridge will have Its approach and will rest
at one end on the lot formerly occupied
by the burned car barn at the corner or
Bucklin and Earl streets.
The bridge will be 10 feet wide. and Its
construction including approaches, will
cost about $685. which Will be paid by
the Gorham company. The approaches TO
the central span will have a per cent

There will be a flight OF steps from the
bridge TO the street opposite the station.

Christmas Visitors from America.
At present the American Christmas

three thousand, mainly from the
Great Northwest" are the most con-
spicuous on the routes of travel, and
they will no doubt be the cause of
many a happy Christmas when they
make their temperance in the
homes they left years ago, where an
old father and mother is anxiously
waiting to see their wandering boy
again, and besides the joy Of the re-
union, a few Yankee dollars go far
to brighten up dark dreary winter
day in a poor Norwegian peasant
home.

make a ten days visit to Norway and
spend much less than ESQ kroner, I
know very we'll that many of them
spend several times that amount dur
ing their stay here, and this will
change the total receipts to a great
extent. So it may be safely put down
that the coins left behind by foreign
ers in Norway for hotel bills and
travelling expenses in the year 1902
was not much short Of ten million
kroner. And, then, what about the
souvenirs?
While this income is of great i'm
portance to the country, it is still far
from the sum southern countries,
such as Schweiz and Italy, receive
from the same sources every year.
There it amounts to several hundred
million kroner for each country. But
old Norway is also gaining in this
respect every year, and as long as the
midnight sun is kept in working con-

no doubt that the tourist stream will
increase every year till it reaches
proportions equal to that of the south

Thru the energetic and intelligent
work Of the Swedish Tourist associa-
ton the natural beauties of that coun-
try are becoming gradually known to
outside world. With scenery unsur-
passed, this country has been to some
extent neglected by the "globe-trot-
ters,' but they do not suspect what
they have missed for in a general way
they know little of what Sweden has
to offer. 1t is to supply this lack of
information, to encourage tourist
travel in Sweden and to arrange routes
and provide accommodations that the
Swedish Tourist association was
formed.
In the Swedish provinces the people
are still unspoiled by the tourist in
vasion. The traveller is not beset on
every hand by peddlers of curios and
mementoes nor annoyed by guides,
"hotel runners" and the silent but OPP
pressive demand for tips. Here is

The Tourist Traffic.
The new society for promotion of
the tourist traffic in Norway has just
published some statistics for last year.
According to these figures Norway's
1918 hotels, with an aggregate of
22,460 beds and 5,261 servants, had
526,042 visitors. OF these 41S,O95 We're
Norwegians; the balance, 107,947,
were foreigners AS to seasons, the
figures are: For the summer season
(May-September), 216,561 Norwe-
gians, 86,646 foreigners; in the winter
season (October-ApriD 2O1,534 Nor
wegians and 21,3O1 foreigners.
In these figures, no doubt, the same
person is calculated more than once,
so it more accurately indicates the
number of visits than visitors. After
asking the opinion of people who
ought to know, the right course to
pursue In order to get somewhere near
to the actual number of foreigners
who visited the country in 1902, would
be to divide the total of foreign visits
by four, and that would make the
total number of foreign visitors about
$4,000. The average time spent In the
country by each Of them is about ten
days, and the average daily expense
for each about 25 kroner.
Suppose that the visiting foreign
