MOST NoRTHELY hallway.
Designed for the Development of Scan
dinavian Mining Resources.

The bureau of statistics of the Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor has compiled
the following information from various
trade publications regarding the most
northerly railroad in the world:
July IA will see railroad opened that is
destined to do much for Scandinavian and
English commerce and manufa ctures. Be

all the year round have built a railroad
from the mines. or iron ore deposits. near
Gellivare to Ofoten. on the coast OF Nor
way. King Oscar Of Sweden has consented
to be present at the opening. For some
time ore has been carried on a branch of
the road to the Norwegian ford from the
mines or hills OF Kirunavara and Narwik.
Gellivare is an inland town of Sweden
nearly fifty miles north Of the arctic circle
1t Is the center Of vast forests and IRON
filed hills. 1t is much nearer to Lulea. a
port on the Gulf of Bothnia. whittier, were
1t not for the long winters. Its wood and
iron would naturally go; but the Gulf Of
Bothnia. a bay of the Baltic. is closed to
navigation for four or five months of each
year. Russia's tireless efforts to get bet
ter seaport than st. Petersburg are due to a
similar cause.
That city is on the Gulf of Finland, an
other arm of the Baltic that is closed with
ice for five months in each year. English
enterprise and English capital have done
and are destined to do much in the develop
ment of Scandinavia's resources-particu-
larry those helpful to English industries.
The long and severe winters of the Arctic
are being conquered and the Baltic defied.
Even the tourists Is to be taken. in summer
time at least into the wild regions over
which the road passes 1t is singular that
somewhat similar conditions confront Eng
land in her Labrador iron regions and that
a proposition has been made to overcome
them in the same way by building road
to the mines. 1t is thought it might be
made to pay in more ways than one; for
Labrador (parts of it, at leasD, like vast
regions in Scandinavia. is covered with pri-
meval fOrests-woods rich in the very best
kind Of building material. With the price
of wood rapidly rising, it may pay Labra-
dor to put railroads far into her forests.

THE ACRE DISPUTE.
Recent Advices as to the Acts of
Bolivia

Advices recently received in Washington
from Bolivia regarding the dispute over
the Acre territory, state that the president
of Bolivia General Pando who marched to
the Acre at the head Of the Bolivian army
to suppress the revolutionary movement
initiated in Brazil in order to get possession
of that territory, arrived at Puerto Rico,
at that point and had organized the defence
OF the place, situated at the confluence of
the Manurupi and Tahuamanu rivers By
this advance he now defends all the Orion
river, which was threatened by the revolu-
tiOnistS. He has stationed large force at
Puerto Rico composed of the LIST Battalion
that point the basis of his military opera
tons
The revolutiOniStS were very near the
Bolivian forces. and warning to the
latter allowed the body of Bolivian whom
they had killed and horribly mutilated to
float down the river to where the Bolivian
forces were stationed. Placido Castro is at
the head of the revolutionStS who are con-
tinually receiving supplies from the Bra
lillian town Of ManaOs.
In later letter President Pando an
nounces that the revolutionists attacked his
position at Puerto Rico from distance of
400 yards under cover of the trees. but
caused little damage. only one officer and
two soldiers being wounded When the
Bolivian troops returned their fire they fed,
leaving some dead. After this attack Presi-
felt sure of being able to repel any new at
tack The condition of The Bolivian troops
was very satisfactory, and they were we'll
accustomed.
