KINGOSCAR
is DEAD
MONARCH OF SWEDEN
HAD LONG ILLNESS.
HAD YIELDED THRONE TO HIS
SON, CROWN PRINCE
GUSTAvE.

Stockholm, Dec. SKIING Oscar
died at 9:15 Sunday.
Members of the royal family and the
chief representatives of the Swedish
church In Stockholm were at the bed.
side. The king has been Ill for sew.
eral years. He suffered first from
facial paralysis. Then he became q
victim Of insomnia. Symptoms OF
acute kidney trouble recently ap.
peared.
When Oscar yielded the reins OF
power to his son, Crown Prince Gus.
tave, as regent, a week ago, 1t was
announced he sought only a short
rest and would soon resume the crown
Now it is believed he fully realized
his condition and hal no idea he would
ever take up the scepter again.
For a monarch King Oscar has
played his part on a comparatively
small stage. Many Europenan states
men place him, however, high among
the sovereigns Of his time. In per.
sonal accomplishments he was easily
foremost. He wrote well in prose and
verse, knew many languages and was
envied as painter by professional
artists. The king was born January
81. 1929, the son of Oscar l.. and
grandson of Charles XIV, the famous
Marshal Bernadotte. He married
Princess Sophia of Nassau in 1857
and succeeded to the throne of Nor
way and Sweden in 1872. His reign
was one of unbroken peace as to for
eign relations, but saw the dissolution
of Sweden and Norway, which his eff
forts retarded but could not prevent
His majesty's Swedish subjects idol
lied him. Norway thought so we'll Of
him that 1t offered its crown, aftel
breaking the union, TO one of his sons
Through all Europe he was admired
and loved.
Physically he was powerfully built
handsome, and until a few years age
in robust health.
Within the palace, members of the
royal family. high ecclesiastical dig
nitaries, the premier and the minister
of foreign affairs had been assembled
for some hours in the kings study, to
which room his majesty had been re
moved In bed at noon when still un
conscious. This measure was taken
to enable all the family and the Off
cials to be present at the last moments
without undue crowding.
The physicians in attendance admin
istered stimulants, consisting of ga
line solutions, camphor and digitalis
which were injected at intervals, and
they relieved also as far as possible
the vascular trouble from which the
king has suffered severely all through
the illness. They, however, could &C
complish very little more than the
bringing back of their patient to mo
mentary consciousness. Every effort
was made to reduce the pain to a
minimum, and this apparently was
successful.

MINES IN MANY CAMPS.

A smelter, especially adapted to the
treatment Of its copper sulphide ore.
will be installed in the near future
by the Scotch Bonnet Mining COM
pany. whose property is located in
Park county, Montana.
While making his daily inspection
Of the Occidental coal mine. near
Palmer, 80 miles from Tacoma, recent
ly, Joseph Kraczek, the fire boss, aged
% years, encountered what is known
as white damp and fell backward,
dead. The body was discovered by the
men going to work on the day shift.
About 40 men have applied for work
at the Cranky smelter in Grand Forks,
81 Of whom were put to work, the re-
mainder to 60 to work as soon as the
smelter gets running properly. 1t is
stated by officials of the CRANKY COM
pany that the Western Federation Of
Miners has pickets posted on the road
to the smelter with the intention Of
persuading any men who might start
up the hill to turn back.
The Spokane Lead Mines company

Another shipper has rejoined the list
Of Rossland, B. c., in the Evening

smelter. The Evening Star is being
operated under lease for a year by
Andrew X. Idler. The lessee expects
to ship at least 1000 tons during the
next six months. The mine was oper-
ated in the early days OF the camp.

Rain Destroys Ice and Causes No Little
Apprehension.

Boston, Dec. 31.-The warm and I'M
usually heavy rain coming after 10
days of open weather cleared the ice
from nearly all the ponds in Southern
New England, and left the condition
for harvesting next years supply in
practically the same shape as at this
time last winter, when the crop was q
failure.
The rigid weather Of the first two
weeks of the month resulted in The
formation of nearly a foot Of ice on the
ponds about this city and to the south
ward while further north the ice aver
aged nearly is inches. The harvesting
along tho Merrimac river and 10 thn
north had already begun last week but
was stopped by today's rain. and It
IS expected that the ice men will he
obliged to wait for another freeze.
While there is. of course, sufficient
time for another crop to form. still the
clearing of the ponds today was dis
couraginS to the ice men, and the COM
ing few weeks will be anxious ones.

CONGRESSIONAL SALARIES.
Senate Committee Expected to Report
in Favor Of so Per Cent. Advance.

Washington. Dec. 31.-The sub-com-
mittee of the Senate committee on APP
preparations, which for the past week
has been considering the legislative,
executive and judicial appropriation
bill with the view of getting it in shape
for the full committee. has considered
the question of increasing the salaries
Of the senators and members of the
House of Representatives and while
no program has been agreed upon. it
now seems probable that the Sub-cOm-
mittee will recommend an advance of
so per cent. on Congressional salaries.
The subcommittee is practically un-
animous in the opinion that such an
increase should be made but there is
q general feeling that the House should
have inserted the provisions. 1t
also looks as # the committee would
recommend that the provision for in
creasng the salaries of the Vice Pres
ident. the Speaker and cabinet officers
should be eliminated unless a CORE
spending increase shall be secured for
senators and members. Many men,
bers of the committee express the
opinion that the Senate should be Civ
