the question intends to VISIT America
in the near future, it may be of in
terest to Journal readers, and for that
matter, to all Americans, to know
what this distinguished gentleman's
opinion is of the far west" But to
avoid any mistake, allow me to intro
duce the man, DIR. Olav Johan Olsen.
Here is an extract from one of his late
newspaper articles IL

ly, America will be held up as a good ex-
ample. I have never been in that coun-
try, altho very likely. before the end Of
the year. shall have to take a trip over
there. But anyway, I have gained knowl
edge of the American system at close
that Norway in this respect will not fol-
low in the footsteps of America. That
land Of Goshen, that .'Oleana" where the
hypocrisy of teetotalism has gone SO far
that in certain circles It is considered un-
becoming even to consume beer and wine
in the presence of ladies; but where either
sex, when by themselves, enjoys, on the
one side their fine cognac whisky and eau
de cologne bonbons, on the other side their
horrid cocktails. Yes. if they are real nrst
class hypocrites they have their bottles Of
whisky concealed where they-safely for
the ladies-even treat their friends to
drink or two. This hyDocrittcal, non-sex-
ual, non-spirituaI, money greedy nation
where fortunately the trouble Of child
births is still less desired than the alco-
hol. It is therefore, thank tod, only a
question Of time when this disgustful race,
with the feminine men and the sexless
women without teeth, will die out, in or
der to give room for race possessing
more lifeblood, with more happiness in
life and with a less sickly desire for the
dollar the ownership Of which is the only
aim and enjoyment of the race now ruling.

garding this particular Mr.. Olsen's
safety should he get as far as the
states, and for the. reputation of our
great. nation, hope he won't venture
as far south as those latitudes, where

Christiania's Street Car Fare.
You wouldn't think that times were
hard in this city, when you hear what
Christiania spent for street car fare
in 1908, when the scarcity Of money
was as great as in any Of the
habitants used for this purpose
1,916,061.10. or nearly 100000

It is safe to say that it would be
hard to find a, city where people make
such an extensive, and for that mat

simply onlookers. In a small country
like Norway, there is danger that
threatens the women particularly and
that is isolation. loneliness, without
intercourse and unity. With a pOpu-
lation so scattered, where the dis
tances are so great, the women-who
are naturally more confined to the
home than the men-feel this exclu-
sion, which SO often causes spiritual
stagnation. What Is needed is inter-
course with others-an intercourse
that will arouse to activity and teach
them to use the faculties they pos
sess, which are not utilized now. The
many organizations which have been
formed have, it is true, been trying to
work with this aim in view, each in

is a gallant little fighter who entered
the service as bugle boy when he was
only years of age. He was such
good bugler that there was great ri
valry among the officers to obtain his
services. When he was II years old
he was spirited away from the COM
mand with which he was serving at
the time and brought to Panama. In
and returned to his former place, his
name was changed. He has seen much
service. He was in the trenches dur
ing the whole of the great battle
known as the 'seven-day fight" in
Panama three years ago. Under his
leadership his troops fought desper-
ately, and at the conclusion of the
struggle there was a pile of 400 dead
men in front of them. General Huertas
has a great reputation as a strategist.
Once he with a detail of sixty men
was ordered to capture a battery of
five pieces located near the seashore.
He took five men and made a cautious
detour to the rear of the position he
wished to take. Then his ffty-fve
men landed in boat within sight of
the defenders of the battery. AS soon
as the enemy got busy in front he
bounced upon them from the rear with
his little squad, and got their guns
without the loss of a man.
His latest: exploit was the capture
of his two superior officers during
1.-The bloodless revolution" He had
agreed to assist the secession move
ment, and altho the time had been
set for the outbreak, he had not told
his officers or his men,. It seems Co
lumbia got wind that trouble was
brewing on the isthmus, and quietly
sent out forces to put d own the moves
ment. Two superior Officers walked
into the barracks one afternoon and
took Huertas unawares. None of his
subordinates happened to be in the
room when they walked in. One of
them said: =
Are you aware, sir, that rebel
lion is about to break out here?' =
He replied that he knew 1t.
Are you ready to resist it," He
told them he was to the last man.
Look there" he said, pointing out
the window, G"see those guns trained
on the street, and 1 will show you
how we'll drilled are my men," He
walked to the door, gave an order,
and in a moment detail of thirty
men filed into the room. He ordered
his two superior officers, arrested,
and sent word to the rebels to come
after their prisoners. It was a nervy
trick and might easily have cost him

his neck General Huertas has but
one hand, having lost the other in bat
tie. He is hardly five feet tall and
weighs only 1O7 pounds. He is very
gallant and is the lion of the hour in
Panama.
Shaler Defies Uncle Sam.
Colonel James r. Shaler. superin-
tendent of the Panama railroad, is
another man who knows some tricks
about war and strategy. He was q
colonel in the confederate army, and
carries himself with the air of a man
born to command. 1t is part of the
agreement between the Panama rail-
road and. the Colombian government
that the railroad shall provide free
transportation for her troops when
ever Colombia demands it. Three
times lately the United States authors
ties have prevented the Colombian
troops from using the road On each
occasion this seemed certain to put the
colonel in a bad light with the Colon
bian authorities. but he carried it off
in fine style. He would say to them:
Nov, look here, it is part of my
agreement with you that I shall carry
you men, and if you want to go over
the line neither the United States gov
eminent nor anyone else can prevent
me from keeping my contract. But.
and here the colonel would look wise
and speak in fatherly, confidential
tone, "if I were you, I wouldn't make
the start because the other side is
little too stout for you"
In each instance the generals re-
ported that Colonel Shaler had stood
ready to do his part, but that they
considered it unWise to act. Colonel
Shaler is source Of constant worry to
Dr.. Randall. the company physician,
because he won't screen his house or

onel says a mosquito won't bite him,

holder and owner Of the Star-Herald,

Mr.. Duque has a sociable disposition.

liberal. The last time he INDUCED he
signed an order for an iron fence to
be put around the plaza. When the
bill came in he had to yield up $1,000.
and now he is total abstalner for
fear he might get under the influence
and take a notion to build wall
around the town.

While the work for the up

years, endeavors in this direc-

dividual character. There have been a
few societies in the larger cities, each

others. The leading spirit in the
movement has been, and is, Miss Gina

Landed With Quarter.
Panama's only millionaire is Henry
Ehrman, who had just one American
quarter when he landed on the 18TH
mus. 81 years ago. He has been a
banker for many years, but made a
good deal Of money handling cigars in
the early days. He. added greatly to
his large fortune when . the French
company was exploiting the canal.
Considering that Mr.. Ehrman has been
50 successful here, it is natural that
he should be a great believer in Pana-
ma. He thinks it is a health resort
He says he goes to Paris for pleasure,
but must return to the isthmus for his
health. He is a devoted family man,
and is very fond of his brother, Felix,
who is the practical head of his bank
ing house, and who is also the Ameri-
can vice consul. I .........

since he was young man. He has
lied one revolution, and has acted as
governor Of the province of Panama.
His principal characteristics are cool
ness in danger and brevity of speech.
Upon his recent return from the
states there was a great ovation in his
honor, and letters were presented to
him from the army. 1t was a good
chance for a man with speech making
tproclivities to do some soaring, but
the doctor only said:
Thank you, my friends; I would
not change the lancet for the sword"
In the old canal days he invested
"a large fortune in building houses for
rent. When the crash came, he not
only lost all he had, but more beside.
He merely said: II will pay you ALL"
and he did. He bears a very honor
able name, and the only objection
that is offered against him as suit

that was used against Estrada Palma
in Cuba-that Of old age.
H. A. Gudger. the United States
consul general to Panama, practiced
law at Ashville, N. c., before he en-
tered the consular service. He has
been in politics all his life, and when
he went to Washington in 1897 he
thought he had the wires all set to
get the consulate at Hong Kong,
China. Everything was assured up to
the hour the appointment was an
nounced, SO much SO that he had his
trunk packed and all arrangements
made for the start to Hong Kong.
When the appointment was read in
the senate another man got the place,
and Gudger went back to Ashville as
mad as a hornet. In a few days his
senator wired him that he could have
Panama. and he has been here ever
since. Mr.. Gudger says that some way
or another things are always trans
Ipiring to shake his confidence in peo-
pie.
Trusting Mr.. Gudger.
From long residence among them
he had come to believe in the honesty
and thoughtfulness Of the Panamans,
but his trust suffered a severe shock
in the last revolution. 1t was a time
when food was very scarce here. One
morning a respectable looking native
walked into his office, called him
general in a familiar way. and told
