NORWAY and
SWEDEN ARE
STILL WRANGLING OVER THE
QUESTION OF FRONTIER
FoRTIFICATIoNs.
Delegates at Karlstad Hold Session
on the Sabbath. Riksdag May
Approve Negotiations but the
Storthing will not.

Karlstad, Sept. 1s-The Norwegian
and Swedish delegates sat in confer
ence yesterday from noon until
o'clock and from $ until Z, at which
time they adjourned until today.
The question of Notifications is still
being discussed and some unforeseen
difficulties have appeared. It is ex-
pected that the discussions will be
concluded Wednesday and the prelim-
mary result will then be submitted to
the riksdag and the storthing.
The riksdag's approval of the results
of the negotiations is sure, but that of
the storthing is doubtful, especially if
the Norwegian delegates yield on the
questions concerning the forts.
Christiania, Sept 1s-Peace be-
tween Sweden and Norway being as
sured, gutter feeling prevails here.
News from Karlstad, however is still
awaited with the keenest interest and
there is anxiety to learn the details of
the compromise. The press is unani-
nous in hoping for speedy settlement
| of the questions
There are some misgivings enter
tanned that peace may have been
bought too dearly, but all the news
papers express relief that peace has
been secured, provided it is on an en-
during basis
The Aftenposten says there are still
| some difficulties to be overcome, but
that they cannot, according to human
calculation, lead to rupture.

Poor Care of Cows,

St Paul e. K. Slater, state dairy
and food commissioner, reckons that
the farmers of Minnesota are losing
Approximately $50, 900, 900 year just
because they do not take proper care
ofstheir cows.
In a series of tests conducted by the
state department it was lear ned that
one Minnesota COW in 1903 produced
476.2 pounds of butter, as compared
with 166 pounds produced by the aver
age COW. If the 1885, TAO cows which
furnished milk to Minnesota creamer-
les in 1908 produced as much butter as
the best COW, the total would have
been so7,412,24o pounds, instead of
70, 266, ,34s. This was loss of 1875, 145,-
s9e pounds, or butter worth $27, ,O29,-
17s 40
Mr.. Slater estimates that the total
production of butter this year will ap-
proximate so, 900, 600 pounds, so that if
all cows produce as much this year as
the best COW did in 1908, the saving
to Minnesota farmers will be about

De Moines, Sept. According to
preliminary figures of Iowa's state

state was accredited with a population
OF 2,231, s53 Twenty-Five of the nine
ty counties showed increase in popula-
ton, while the remainder showed de-
creases. Practically all of the large
cities and counties showed gains. The
loss was almost entirely in rural Sec
tons. All of the census authorities
who have studied this years statistics
have agreed that the loss was due to
the enlargement of Iowa farms and at
tendant immigration of Iowans to dis
tricts where cheaper lands were avail

Minneapolis. nearly three
years at Eue Claire, Wis, the full
sized model of the historic viking ship
of Gokstad is to be returned TO its
former place in the Minneapolis public
library, if an agitation started by the
Norwegian Society of America is sue

The model is of great value, being
an exact reproduction Of the viking
ship unearthed at Golzstad, Norway,
some twenty years ago. 1t was
loaned three years ago to some persons
in Eue Claire, to be used in a street
parade, and has never been returned
Resolutions condemning those respon-
sible for the loaning of the ship were
adopted by the executive board of the
