Scandinavian NEWS
PranolpaI Events Gathered II tho
Oh Scandinavian Countries

Premier Knudsen of Norway has ex-
pressed himself strongly in favor of
partial free trade between the
Scandinavian countries; but the Stock
holm Allehanda, an influential Swed-
tsh daily. is opposed to such policy,
asserting that Sweden is fully able to
compete with her neighbors on the
markets Of the world.
Selma Lagerlof has celebrated her
flftfeth birthday anniversary. To say
that she is popular in Sweden is too
dry and bleak an expression for the
intense love with which she is en-
braced by tens of thousands of her
countrymen and countrywomen. The
power of her literary genius is also be-
ginning to make itself felt among
Sweden's neighbors, and as an illustra-
ton Of this fact the following from the
Danish Dannebrog is given: Selma
Lagerlof's Nils Holgersson' came with
a message from foreign country, but
from a country which the magic of the
legend made dear to us, from a coun-
try which our children learn to love
as they ought to love their own coun-
try. Henceforth will be found in the
hearts of the Danish children love
for Sweden, feeling of intimate kin
ship, which no politics can blast. The
thanks which pass from thousands of
Danish hearts to Selma Lagerlof seem
to me to be the most beautiful of all
legends"

The employers union has a strike
fund of almost 100000, partly in
cash, partly in guaranty checks.
A sca1f0ldiEg at the third story Of
the police station at Kungsholmsgatan,
Stockholm, consisted Of a thick plank.
When the men went to work one
morning the plank was already loaded
with some bricks and bucket Of
mortar. But several of them jumped
down upon the plank anyway, and it
suddenly broke. Seven men seized
planks and boards or the brick wall
and saved their lives, but one man
and the bricks and mortar fell down
into the basement. He was immediate
ly picked up and cared for, but he died
on the way to the hospital.
The government has received ap.
plications for loans exceeding $2,O0O,-
600 from parties who desire to es-
tablish homes of their own. Such peo-
pie may perhaps be called 'home-
crofters'' in English. The applica-
tions are generally made thru home
crofters' unions. The fund set aside
by the government for such loans
amounts to about 81 ,350,00o, and hence
heavy retrenchments must be made.
The amounts asked for are much
larger this year than ever before,
which goes to prove that the people
begin to realize what benefits may be
derived from the homecrofters' loan
fund.

MATTERS OF. INTEREST IN THE
GOPHER STATE.
TO Amend the Railroad laws-Wins
the First Prize on Wheat
at Omaha.
Amend the Laws.


st. Paul.-The state railroad com.
mission is preparing to notify the
legislature next month that there is
not a single railroad rate law in the
state which can be enforced, and that
amendments are absolutely necessary
to make them effective.
Members of the commission have
come to this conclusion as a result of
the decision by the United States su-
preme court in the Young case. The
highest court in the land approved the
fine assessed against Attorney Gen.
eral Young for contempt, by Judge
Lochren, on the ground that the state
law he was trying to enforce was in
valid. The reason for declaring the
law invalid was that it's penalties
were excessive.
The courts language applied espe-
cially to the commodity rate law Of
1907, which was drastic in the penal
ties invoked. 1t gave no option of a
fine. but provided that every railroad
official guilty of refusing to apply the
maximum rates fixed in the bill should
be subject to Imprisonment for not
more than ninety days for each Of
Tense.

Mid-WlnteT Fair.

Hamline-'I think mid-winter fair
could be made a success and would be
of great educational value to the farm
ers and to the people of the state gen
orally said Dean E. Randall of the
state agricultural school in speaking
OF the suggestion that such a fair,
along the lines OF the annual event
at Guelph, Ont*r1o, might be held at
the state fair grounds.
''Of course it would entail consid-
cradle expense at first, if the buildings
at the fair grounds should be used, as
heating plant would have to be in
stalled. A fair could be held in either
cne OF the Twin Cities, but in that case
it would not be so extensive as the one
th&t could be housed in the buildings
ct the fair grounds.
However, on first thought, l be-
Heve that such fair would be as sue
cessful here as the Guelph fair, or the
Omaha corn exposition. which are both
held in the mid-winter.''

DENMARK.

A Danish-French leprosy expedition
is going to the West Indies to study
the causes of leprosy. Prof. Ehlers
will head the expedition. This au-
thority believes to have found that
bed parasites, fleas and lice, have
great influence upon the disease. The
Paris Pasteur institute is to defray
part of the expenses. The expedition
will start out in February.
The establishment Of a line of rail-
way car ferries between Sweden and
Germany has almost compelled the
Danish government to improve the
travelling facilities thru Denmark. One
improvement will no doubt be rail-
road bridge from Sjalland to Falster.
The distance is about two and half
English miles, and the bridge will
cost over 100000. Masredsund, the
water which it crosses, is navigable,
and a huge drawbridge must be built
across the greatest depth of the chan
mel.

Washington, Dec. Chairman
Perkins of the house special commit
tee appointed to recommend course
of action relative to the suggestions
of the president in his annual mes
sage concerning the secret service, to
which members of congress have ia
ken exception, presented a report of
that committee at the beginning of
Thursdays session of the house. The
report recommends the adoption of a
resolution calling upon the president
Willmar tribune. [volume] (Willmar, Minn.) 1895-1931, 1908-12-23

to supply the house with evidence
upon which he based his state
ment that the members of the house
were principally concerned over the
fact that the secret service men had
been investigating members them
selves
Resolution Is Adopted.
The house adopted the Perkins reso-
luton in regard to the president and
the secret service without a dissent
ing vote, and after very little COM
ment, Mr.. Cochran of New York, sug-
geSted that it should be made ap.
pllcable to congress as whole, and
not merely to the house, but the
change was not made.
In reporting the resolution Mr.. Per-
kins said it had been recommended
unanimously by the special committee,
and said that as soon as the president
should send in any information in his
possession the committee would make
another report for the consideration of
the house.
Representative John Sharp Williams
expressed the hope that the resolution
would be adopted promptly and prac.
tically without debate.
Get the Truth, Williams Says.
Mr.. Williams said the committee
would impartially report upon this
seemingly unprovoked and unjustified
attack upon the honesty and reputa-
ton of the legislative branch of the
government"
$50 far as the committee knows"
said Mr.. Williams, there is not
scintilla of evidence to support that
statement by the president. The COM
mittee has thought it would be fair
to the president to give him further
opportunity to produce testimony if
he has any. The American people
have right to know if the American
congress be corrupt.
be corrupt
Such a procedure, he continued,
would allow the country. which, he
said, lis the master of both of u.s."
to exercise judgment in the matter.
The special committee he said, would
remain in session ready to receive,
to consider and to weigh whatsoever
competent evidence the president can
furnish with absolute justice and i'm
partiality."
Would Be Just to Roosevelt.
Mr.. Perkins said the committee was
actuated by desire to be entirely
just to the president and he added
that it had brought in the resolution
with that purpose in view.
Mr.. Keifer of Ohio, wanted to know
whether the words If not incOmpati.
BILE with the public service" should
not be inserted in the resolution as
usual in calling on the president for
information. This suggestion called
forth laughter and Mr.. Perkins de-.
clared that the resolution as worded
was request for information and
was imperative in it's wording.
Mr.. Perkins then cut off further dis
cussion by demanding the previous
question and Speaker Cannon calling
for viva voce vote, there was cho-
rus of ''ayes" favoring the passage
of the resolution, followed by a dead
silence when the noes were called for.

for the year ending June so, 1908, ac-
cording to the annual reports of the
various roads, is 145.27 miles. For
the year previous the increase for all
the roads was only 90 miles, so that
the gain is large. The total mileage
of the state now, exclusive of terminal
and belt lines is S,1GS.36 miles.
The largest increase was 1910
miles of new line on the Duluth,
Rainy Lake and Winnipeg from Asha-
