KARLSTAD IS NOT
SO OPTIMISTIC
Swedes Refuse to Recognize that
the Union Is Yet Dis
solved.
Special Cable to The Journal.

Karlstad, Sweden, Sept. 2.-The dele
gates appointed to settle on terms for
the dissolution of the union between
Norway and Sweden met again this
morning and discussed the Swedish pro-
posals and the counter Norwegian pro-
posals for two hours before luncheon.
All refused absolutely to give any ink
ling Of what had been done, and the
rule of silence adopted at the opening
session is scrupulously observed.
A Swedish Technicality.
It is said that at the session Of yes
terday the Swedish delegates took the
stand that they were treating with the
Norwegian delegates, not in their ca
pacity as representatives OF the gov
eminent in existence, but as representa-
tives Of the cabinet appointed by King
Oscar, thus emphasizing the fact that
Sweden does not recognize Norway, IS
claim that the union has already been
dissolved. This is denied by Norwe-
gan5 here but the report is published
The Swedish delegates are assisted
l by three military experts.
Feeling Not So Optimistic.
The feeling here this evening is that
if the conference fails to reach an
| agreement within week, the negotia-
| tions are likely to be suddenly broken
off.
| The Norwegian delegates are not as
! optimistic as they were on their ARR.
| vol here.
Premier Nicholson of Norway pre-.
diets that the negotiations will perhaps
last for weeks.
| - The Narvik Railroad.
/ However, some of the orders sent
home by the Norwegian delegates for
clothing and the like lead the wiseacres
to predict a long session and much dick
ering before the final compromise is
reached. It is believed that the ques.
tion of the Notifications has been passed
over for the time and the matter of
reciprocal arrangements on the Narvik.
Offoten railroad taken up. The Swedes
want unrestricted transportation rights
over this railroad from the northern
iron mines over Norwegian territory to
the free Norwegian port Of Narvik on
the north Atlantic. They offer the same
privileges to Norway for that portion
Of the railroad running thru northern
Sweden. No difficulty is expected in
reaching an agreement on this point
nor on the granting of pasture priv
leges tothe Swedish Lapps in Finmark

Leesville Lette-
A SKETCH OF TO
FROM THE TIME l
WAS A FOREST
PERSONALS.

Fifty years ago the site If Leesyille
was an original forest. The Augusta
road passed through and was an inn
portant highway. Jno. w. Lee owned
all of the land south and west and
kept tavern for the accommodation
OF the stage. Also ne was the first
postmaster OF LeeSville which was
named after him. There is now no
trace Of this old place.
The north and east side of the town
was then owned by John Shealy which
place is now occupied by Tyre Ether
edge. This land was afterwards own
ed by David and Jacob Shealy. The
house just at the end of Main Street
was the home of David Shealy and the
one Just back of the college on the hill
was the home of Jacob Shealy.
One Of the landmarks of Leesville is
what is known as the Lee house but
was the home of Matthe ws Quattle-
baum.
At the beginning OF the war between
the states there was nothing of pub
lie nature except the postoffice kept
by Mr. Lee and a blacksmith shop
kept by Mr.. Shealy and his sons.
After the war in 1868 the railroad
was completed. That same year the
first store was built by Rev Emanuel
Caughman. The next year Capt. Jas
per Derrick built store which build
ing is still standing and used as a ware
house by Matthews & Bouknight.
Then came Fred Hendrix and many
Others soon followed. The post Office
was held by Mr.. Jeter Mitchell after
Mr.. Lee. During Ridical days Jack
Dent was postmaster Then came Mr.
Smithdeal, Jasper Derrick J. p. Bod
lie, Capt. West and again j. u. Bodie.
This office is now a distributing Of
fee for the whole county.
The first school Of Leesville stood
near the Daniel Mitche place. Then

lege In 30 years the school has
grown from an OLD field school~
