condition of affairs existing in Nor

men of adapability, attempted to ar

refusal they washed their hands of the

from private reports received by the
DAILY Market Record from correspon-
dents throughout the Northwest,
whose estimates during the past two
years have proven very close, it would
appear that some 3d. 2 per cent of last
years crop of North Dakota aud 18 5
per cent of that of South Dakota was
IN farmers hands on Feb 1, last.
The reports cover large portion of
the wheat growing territory of the
three states, but there arc many Sec
lions from which no reports have been
received up to date. Taking the gov
eminent estimate of last years
wheat production as basis to work
on, and which report closely agrees
with the published Market Record fig
ures on last years crop, the amount of
wheat held by farmers Feb. 1, was:
Minnesota, $3.50, O96 bushels; North
Dakota, 7,451 ,034 bushels, South Da-
kota, 1921, TO bushels. The amount
of wheat out of farmers hands and
held in interior mills and private and
country elevators, Feb. 1 was:
Minnesota, 4,O45, $50 bushels; North
Dakota, 1,914, 800 bushels, and South
Dakota, 1.041,932 bushels, total of
:, OO1, 9S2 bushels.

VIEW OF SITKA.

Alaska purchase was the fur, whale
oil and seal business; then the gold
fields overshadowed in Importance any
other Alaskan wealth; and some fu-
ture day what are now her latent re-
sources may become the chief wealth
of Alaska. Mr.. Gannett, of the Har-
riman expedition, adds his voice to the
declaration that Alaska's natural re-
sources are enormous. "The skins and
furs, the gold, copper and coal, and
the timber of the territory are in value
almost beyond calculation, and the
mere reaping of this harvest sown and
ripened for us by nature will occupy
an industrial army for years"
One that writes more enthusiastical-
ly, if less authoritatiVely, Mr.. B. w.
James, refers to the attractions Of
this country. Gin the future there
will be many who will prefer Alaska
or Dakota to Florida and vice versa.
AS far as my own experience led me
to observe it was lovely and health
full. l can see no reason why tract
of land teeming with wea tn should
be neglected by government and peo-
pie alike From the mines of silver
and gold, from the mighty forests of
cedar and pine, from the beautiful furs
of seal and otter, from the great fish
cries of seal, whale, salmon and cod,
from the enormous, inexhaustible sup
ply of pure ice, comes the one voice:
Give us the protection of an interested
government, and we will not only sup
port ourselves, but will return to the
United States a revenue many times
multiplying the amount of her invest
ment by purchase of the district of
Alaska"

These representatives agreed upon
new Constitution, sin many respects a
most remarkable document" :. Repub-
lican in substance, though monarch
ical in form, it is not only the freest,
but also the Oldest written constitution
based on a uniformly elected repre-
sentation now in force in Europe.
Democratic, yet conservative; firm, yet
flexible, 1T has proven most admirable
instrument for the preservation of lib
erty in word and action. Based on
true liberal principles, it has shown a
wonderful vitality, and being born of
a progressive age, it has been found to
possess rare adaptability to the adj
vance of liberal development. The con-
stitution was finished and sworn to by
the deputies on May II, 1914, which
thus became the national holiday of
Norway, it's Fourth of July"
The day after the constitution was
sworn to, Prince Christian Frederick
was unanimously elected king of Nor
way War with Sweden now seemed
very near; but Bernadotte was off with
the greater Part Of the army in Ger
many, and Sweden was loath to begin
fighting. She appealed to Russia, Eng
land, Austria and Prussia for help,
which as signatory powers had guar
anteed to Sweden the possession of
Norway. Bernadotte knew that Swe-
den in war of conquest might fail,
and preferred Norway should feel the
weight of overwhelming opposition.
To Sweden's appeal, Russia promised
an army corps of 10000 men, England
