KING OSCARS PROBLEM.
A swede Likens Norway's Position to That
Of Ireland In United Kin sdom.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sir: As I
have Just returned from q six months visit
To Sweden and Norway. have had an oppor-
tunity to watch the political conflict between
tho two countries on the scene Of action.
l attended the opening Of the Riksdag at
the Royal Palace In Stockholm. and heard
King Oscar make his masterful opening
speech to the men of the Riksdae. Among
the petitions presented to his Majesty there
was the one asking for a separate consular
service for Norway. Later. when the Ques-
tlon was brought before the Riksdag. I OBJ
tanned permission, through the courtesy Of Q
member. to attend and listen to the discus
sions.
Tho Swedish side recognized that by grant.
Ing this petition they would practically sever
the union OF Norway and Sweden, Then,
too. the financial status OF these two little
nations would be inadequate to assume tho
added expense involved In maintaining sep
arate consular services There was no preo-
edent, either, for such procedure. and the
Swedes were UP against pretty difficult
problem. Great Britain and Ireland have
one consular service and one Ministry to
represent the United Kingdom, You -rnlehs
States OF America should be separately rep
resented and expect to maintain unity.
Norweeians seems to be that the King does
not live in Christiania during a portion OF
each year. l talked with many NorweG ians
when ! was in Christiania and the consensus
Was KING Of Both Norway and sNeden s' se
ought to make his headquarters alternately
in Chrstiania and Stockholm. The Scotch
and Irish nations might just as we'll set up q
howl because King Edward makes England
his Headquarters instead Of conducting the
Ireland.
The truth Of the matter is this The Nor
wegians have great race pride and do not
wish to be looked upon as suhservient to the
rule Of another Power no matter what privi-
gentle and lenent the governing power may
be. In this they have the sympathy OF all
liberty loving Americans. But there Is an
other side, and very important one, to be
United, Sweden and Norway have weight
in European diplomacy: divided. they will
be continually menaced by the superior force
Of greater Powers. South of them they have
Germany, at the east Russia, and on the west
Great Britain.
These two little nations standing alone will
be mere footballs. to be played with and
1t has been the dream Of King Oscars lie
to maintain peace and unity between his peo-
pies. and these troubles have been a source
OF great grief to this grand old monarch
some OF those near to him have told me that
bis Majesty often weeps over the situation,
King Oscar is far sighted man. with rood
for the welfare OF his subjects. ard there is
not man in the world more respected and
beloved than, this Mind, gentle, Intelligent
ruler Of Sweden and Norway.

You did the only possible thing he answered.
"Frank-and l don't deserve you-that's all.
'But-even now, that you knOw-what will you

The sweat had broken out on WoOsters brow.

She fled, even as she spoke swiftly, desperately
afraid every moment that she might vet meet her

With a sickening dread at his heart that nothing

what the thing had meant, for fear it compro-

One great gush of relief welled up within him, as
soon as he knew that Aileen was absolutely
innocent; but when he thought of Frank even
now IN the room behind them and of all that

But he did believe it. One look at Aileen
drove the wretched truth so far home that he
could not doubt. Ashamed of having BETRAYED

THOUGHT LITTLE BOY
HAD BEEN DROWNED

Considerable excitement was caused
in the netghborhood of the home Of Mr..
and Mra. ). A. Van Bnskirk, b20 Coli
lege avenue, last Sunday afternoon by
the disappearance OF their eighteen
monts ald son, Edward, whose where
abouts for couple of hours baflled the
efforts nt score Of people to locate
him. The. little f,.llos is great favor
ite in the family and on that sccouut
is given more privileges thau IS usually
accorded to children Of his age, and Is
sometimes allowed 50 visit the imme-
diate neiEhhOrs without an escort
Taking advantage OF relaxation IN
the watehfulucss OF his parents last
Sunday afternoon the little fellow
started out TO explore the town with
out an attendant to guide him, He
had been gone from the house for
probably three-quarters Of an hour be-
fore any body missed him.
Unable TO find him about the prem
ises or at the homes of Other people in
the vicinity an alarm was given and
everybody living within couple OF
blocks turned out to assist in looking
for the lost boy. The general opinion
was that he had fallen into the city
ditch and had drowned and with view
of finding out II there was any truth In
the theory the water was turned oil
and n search made In the bed Of the
ditch for the body. No trace OF IL
could be discovered and the fire bell
was sounded and the announcement
made TO those who assembled to learn
its cause, Of the boys disappearance.
About this time hackman found the
little fellow ~ the d. 4 X. g. station

nothing is so richly entitled to our ex-
pioitation and praise as the mildness
and charm OF the climate of Colorado.
Many thousands OF people from the
East pass through Canon City every
summer and autumn en- route to Cali

where they may escape the rigors of
the climate they left behind. uneon-
scious that by stopping here they could
find advantages in that respect superior
to any thing on the Pacific coast.

WEATHER BACK TO
NORMAL CONDITIONS

Despite the chilliness OF the temper
ature the greater part OF last week. the
weather has settled down to normal
condition again, and from now until
the first OF February, with possibly oc-
casional idiosyncracies, I, is likely TO
be of the most delightful character.
As rule, there is considerable rain
fail in the Upper Arkansas valley dur
ing the month of September, but this
year was an exception, and the first
precipitation OF moisture IS likely to he
in the form OF snow. some having all
ready fallen on the Continental Divide.
Snow. however. is far lees disagreeable
here than it is in the same latitude 70

promising as represented by the report
TO the Merchants association.
1t is probable that further details
concerning the enterprise will be laid
before the Merchantz, association At
its regular monthly meeting next Nom
day night. 1t is understood that a
prominent capitalist from distant
state is expected here in few days to
look into the matter with view of f.
nancing the proposition. If he decides,
after going over the proposed route,
that the enterprise is good one, he
will furnish the means for its construc-
tion. II he takes the matter up Canon
City will be made the center from
which will radiate several interurban
electric lines of great value to this
community.

Canon City from the building of an

Its construction would mean more for
people here than any enterprise that

receive the helpfulness and encourage

An electric line from Canon City to
the Cripple Greek district would bring
immense quantities of ore here for
treatment and would necessitate the
erection Of another smelter with big

BIGGEST APPLE CROP
IN HISTORY OF TOWN

The apple crop OF the Canon City
district is being marketed rapidly as
circumstances will permit, the cold
weather OF last week having aece.er-
ated their movement. Most of the
fruit has been picked and by the end
of the week apple gathering will be
practically over for this season. The
prevailing prices are an incentive to
orchardists to dispose OF their product
and less of it will go into cold storage
this year than usual.
From fifteen to twenty cars loaded
with apples were standing on the rail-
road tracks in the LOCAL yards yester-
day ready for shipment to consigneee
in Denver. Kansas City. Omaha, Chi
cago. and points in Texas and New
Mexico, and, perhaps, as many more
