swEDES ARE WEALTHY
Have Made Splendid Success Of Wyo
ming Colony.


In tho southeastern portion of Lara
ME county, Wyoming, forty miles from
CHEYENNE, the capital, and ten miles
from the Union Pacific railroad town
of Pine Bluffs, is located the famous
"Swedish Home colony, or Salem, as
1t is now called. Established in 1887
on tract Of the rolling and grass-clad
uplands of Laramie county, this Swed-
ish settlement has progressed until now
it is the wealthiest community, per
capita in Wyoming.
Recognizing from the start the gilt
edged stock farm opportunities given
into their hands, these settlers speedily
added to their original homestead en-
tries the purchase Of from one to three
sections Of railroad land for stock-graz-
ing purposes. As the frugal seasons OF
these Swedish American settlers passed
on, there came the Inevitable growth
of land and stock values, until now each
Swedish family counts it's cattle herds
by the hundreds and it's land acres by
the thousands-these stock farmers be-
ing worth from $4,000 to $4,000 each
and living in comfort and independ-
The cattle of the Salem colony are
noted for their high Hereford and
shorthorn grades and heavy beet
weights. Garden vegetables are freely
raised, with potatoes as an especial
crop, q recent tuber yield recording 26O
bushels from two acres. -.
This Swedish settlement, in its
chosen Wyoming home, is as replete
with civilization as it is with coin, hav
ing now four public schoolhouses ano
being virile with exemplary religion:
and social life.

Tt might be wise plan for bachelor
maids on this side of the Atlantic, to
borrow the idea from their sisters in
Denmark and organize an insurance
One particular advantage to, an in;
surance company of this kind would
be that none of the insured would be
impatient about proving their claim to
the pension. What bachelor maid of
40 years would promptly state her. age
and call for her dues unless dire ne
cessity compelled her to acknowledge
the facts She would willingly pay the
premium year after year long after the
her age was secret not to be admitted
even to herself. y5.E ~ ] r..
The profits to underwriters from such
cases would be immense, and it is
strange that ,enterprising Americans
have not already made themselves rich

reach the age of 40. .sst=

PUBLIC OPINION
STILL DIVIDED
PRAISE AND CENSURE FOR THE
KING OF SWEDEN.
Royal Family Evidently Considers the
Norwegian-Swedish Situation as a
Grave one-Arnoldson, Peace Advo-
cate, Addresses Statement to the
Swedish People-Urges Arbitration.

While Norway, under her new minis
try, aided by the united storthing, is
working out her plans for separate !
consular service, Sweden is interested
in the request from the king for the APP
pointmept by the riksdag of a secret
committee to consider the union ques-
ton. This committee has already been
appointed and presumably is working
with his majesty. Under the Swedish
constitution the secret committee has
simply advisory powers and the king is
not bound to accept its counsel.
Only twice before has the ruler of
Sweden availed himself of the oppor-
dag by means of secret committee,
namely in 1858, during the, Crimean
war, and again III 1895, when the
trouble with Norway reached an acute
stage. Apparently the royal family
considers the present situation as Jun
its views. The conservative papers
naturally approve the conduct of the
king, bot the liberals express their dis
approval of plan to consider important
public questions in secret when the in
terests of both countries demand that
there should be the utmost frankness
and confidence shown in all delibera-
lions.
Arnoldson's Address.
K. P. Arnoldson, a prominent peace
advocate, from his sickbed, has dictated
an address to the Swedish people which
opens as follows:
'"We Swedes should leave the people

which Norway is named as free and

king with Sweden. While, the union
was wholly voluntary on the part of

Norwegians naturally dislike the pat
