insula, extending toward the east. just
south is the Swedish territory; but you
will notice that the Russian posses
sions run up into this territory like a
wedge, a triangular chunk Of land lying
with it's point close to Norway and as
near to the ocean as it could get.
An Atlantic Port.
This is no accident. When the peace
from Sweden nearly half Of it's area,
Sweden was So down that she could
protest against nothing. It was then
that Gear Alexis drew red line and
ran it as close on the map to Norway
as he could get. The land is Of almost
long ways ahead. Now Russia can build
railway close up to the ocean and
erect Notifications, and lay in supplies
Of everything in readiness for march
to the sea- That is why she wants an
ice-free port along the Atlantic ocean.
She will get it, too, some day. if there
does not happen something within her
own boundaries to upset all plans. A
general catastrophe, disturbance that
or ten smaller countries, that is the
real salvation and almost necessary for
the peace of Europe. How the big
colossus can hang together is a mystery.
There is no better bond than the cat
o-nine-tails, bond which: will some
day burst. e
There are many characteristics Of the
Norwegians that remind one Of Ameri-
cans, much more than do the Swedes:
Thus, they are exceedingly fond of
playing politics.. quality that helps
them a good bit when they try the
game in the states, For there they are
certainly many laps. ahead of the Swed-
ish elem ent, which is mum erically much
stronger. In business !. they are bold
and energetic to degree. In fact, that
is one of the causes Of the present trou-
BILE, over-estimation of their own coun-
try's resources. And lastly, when trav-
cling they do the Yankees, get ac-
quainted easily and start conversation
on any topic. ~
There is, up in Dalarne, in Sweden,
very interesting community that ought
certainly be attractive to emigrants.
If it is not exactly unique, the chances
are pretty good that: in few other por-
tions within the civilized part of the
world do the people have no knowledge
Of taxes. This place is called Orsa. and
lies very nearly in the center Of the
province. It is one Of the wealthiest
communities in existence, and owns ex-
tensive forest lands. Z The cutting of
the timber is so ARRANGED that for gen
erations to come there will be no need
of levying taxes. Tho in reality a small
community, they are now building a
their money in sensible way. At least,
architects have Alright to think So.

Definition OF
What a District
Judge
Ought to Be.

In his address entitled, Given
ty-two Years at the Old Court
house," delivered November,
1895, on the occasion of the open
ing of the new courthouse, Judge
Vanderburgh said:
"The district court is the great
court of the people and the most
important considering it's extern
sive jurisdiction and the multi
tude and Importance Of cases
brought before it, and the large
discretionary power necessarily
imposed in the judge. Their deci-
sions and rulings in the great ma
jority of questions are practical
ly, if not necessarily, final. There
is no more important or respon-
sible position in the state than
that of district Judge. He ought
to be a man Of the highest per-
sQnal character for integrity and
morality, of calm judicial tenn.

sonabiy promp~ and Of great in
dustry and thorough impartiality.
II is fortunate for this state that
thus far it's judges have generally

BY Olaf z. Cervin.

Christiania, Norway, Oct. 9.-It is
certainly a pleasure to be able to say
that. the present attitude of the Nor
wegians toward theS wedes is changing
for the better. Not once have I heard
word against the brotherhood. A
the Norwegians were very bitter; spoke
harshly, wrote angrilv and otherwise
tried to make themselves believe that
the SWedes were their enemies. 1t
seems impossible to believe it, but they
spent large sums of money construct
ing fortresses against an imaginary en-
envy: ~ -.
ward this changing of heart, the main
reason being that they have at last
really perceived that in all this world
they have no better friend than Swe-
den. The interests of one country can
not be divided from those of the other.
Not in vain are they called brother
lands. No better object could be found
for a society than just this, inscribed
as motto on one Of their banners:
to, foster brotherly love for one an
other.'
One way Of doing this is to encour-
age clubs and associations to take ex-
cursions and to do everything to make
their excursionists acquainted with the
people Where they go. For surely, 1t
you wish to care for any one, first
learn to know him. In order to get
the, young generation started right, this
society has arranged for entire classes
of school children to visit; notable
places each in the brother country. It
is needless to say that such trips are
popular and the promoters feel we'll
satisfied with the experiments.
Fear of Russia.
Perhaps the greatest factor is Rus
STA. She is the common danger, and
no worse fate could befall the Scan
dinavian peoples than to get under the
crushing paw of the big bear. Year
by year this becomes more evident, and
Finland is the warning example. The
way this country is being treated is
beyond belief, and that in the begin
ming Of the twentieth century! And
no one doubts Russia s ultimate plans.
It is true, she now has her hands full,
and the war may cripple her for fifty
or hundred years to come. But what
of that9 One hundred years are no
barrier to Russian policy.
If you doubt this, just take your
map and look up one corner, a corner
that possibly never attracted your at
tention. This is where the Swedish,
the Norwerian and the Russian boun-
diaries seem to get all mixed up with
each other, way up on the north. The
Norwegians have a long, narrow strip
of coast which curves around the pen

BIG GRAIN ELEVATOR
SLIDES INTO WATER

Buffalo, N. Y, Oct. 31.-From some
cause which cannot be definitely ex-
yesterday and sank into the waters Of
the Evans slip.
The elevator contained about three
hundred and seventy thousand bushels
Of barley, a large proportion Of which
lies at the bottom of the slip. The loss
on the grain and the building is esti-
mated at $350,000. Charles Bartholo-
my, 81 years old, the elevator super
1ntendent, was seriously injured.
The Ontario was built fifteen years
ago, and had been in active operation
all of this season. Various reasons
have been given as to the cause Of the
collapse, but as nearly as could be
learned, it had it's origin in the weak
ening of the foundations about the
dock.
