fourteenth century lumber has been
exported from Norway, and originally
nearly the whole country, even includ-
ing small islands along the west coast,
was covered with forest. This is hard
for the traveller, who sees so many
square miles Of barren country, to be-
lieve, but the peasants, who for gen.
erations have been utilizing the big
roots, which they have been digging
out Of the ground, for fuel, know 1t
we'll. Years ago legislators and others
began a movement to prevent the
ruthless destruction Of the forest, and
it must be admitted that they have
succeeded fairly well.
! The main thing done, is the en-
thusiasm that has been aroused thru

these some twenty odd million plants

state, thru a number Of special insti-

an open secret that Russia's aim to Sc

northern part of the Scandinavian
peninsula has been more than fancy,
and according to an article just pub

the outbreak of the war. Russia fully
realizes that the fact that nearly all
Of her seaports are ice-blocked for
six months Of the year is one Of her
vulnerable spots. For years the build
ing of roads in the districts Of lap
land, bordering on Sweden and Nor
way, has been going on.
Now while the war Is raging In the
east, and the worlds eyes are partic-
ularly fixed on that part of the map,
road is being planned by the Rus
haetta to the border line near Kok-
kinmuodka. The work Is to be rushed
at the highest speed.
The region thru which the road is
to go Is but sparsely settled. In the
small towns on the Swedish side all
the laborers that possibly can be Sc
cured are being hired at any wages
they ask. From the terminus of the
projected road is but short distance
to Hellingskogen, which Is about
twenty English miles from the Nor
wegian market place Skibotten, on the
Lyngenfjord, which Is twenty-eight
miles long, and surrounded by high
mountains. Skibotten is considered
one of the finest harbors that can be
found anywhere, and lies in the Fin
marken district, about midway be-
tween the towns Of Tromsoe and
Hammerfest.

close application to their alleged
handicraft-are seen in the newspa-

that only one-f1fth of the lumber cut

what an important part the forest
plays In the prosperity of Norway.
