active rival.
The government has purchased An

Siljan" for the National museum at

Preparations for. tho great inter-
national peace congress. to be held at

Kan. is to be one of the delegates
from the United States, having been
chosen by the recent national peace
congress held at Chicago.
writer who recently returned
from trip through Palestine relates
some Items OF interest concerning tho
colony of Swedes IN Jerusalem. known
as the Larssonites. They emigrated
to Jerusalem some fifty or sixty years
ago under the influence OF rival and
and have kept up comparatively
separate existence In the Holy City
since that time. They reside In what
liz called the American section. They
are God.fearing people and live an
unassuming and exemplary life among
the Catholics and Mohammedans OF
the city. They are well known for
hn anI
improvident Arabs. The noted Swe-
dish writer. Selma Lagerlof. some
years ago wrote book entitled "Jeru-
salem." In which she describes tho
emigration Of this sect to the Holy
City.
The newspapers OF Norway and
Sweden have enjoyed little tilt
about them accepting OF Official decora-
tionson the part OF citizens OF ono
country from the other. A Christiania
daily sizes up the situation as follows:
1T has now been learned that tho
rumor that the Swedish government
does not desire Swedish officials To
receive and carry any decorations OF
any OF the Norwegian orders Is well
founded. From a Norwegian point OF
view It is only another Official evil
dence on tho part OF Sweden that her
stand on this question Is made at just
exactly the same time the Swedish
press began to look for sympathy
from Norway In regard to the building
Of the Swedish Continental route to
Germany. In Norway. however,
sweden's attitude toward Norwegian
orders has not caused nearly tho
furore that was anticipated. II Il
only pertinent to note that General
Tkaulow, a Norwegian Officer, who
stands very high In foreign military
circles. has returned all his decora-
tions from Swedish orders on tho
ground that II n Swedish citizen can
not carry the st. Olaf order. for In
stance, q Norwegian citizen cannot.
as a matter Of course. carry q Swsd-
fish order. The Norwegian press In
general seems TO approve of the gem
erals course In this respect ~ being
absolutely consistent"

THE INFLUENCE ON CHARACTER
 OF CLIMATE AND SCENERY.

When a man can think of nothing else he talks about the weather. Surely then mention of the elements Is permissible at this ume. even though 1t predicates a somewhat jaded condition of the editorial mind However, the weather is not the dry and fruitless topic that some people think it. We are all barometers to a certain extent and there IS little doubt but that climatic influences play an important part in the develop meut of human character
 For instance the peoples Of the balmy south are inclined to indolence and passiveuess. On the other hand the rigorous winters Of the north with the incidental train of frozen fingers. bursted water pipes and ct cetra. are conducive to the strenuous life and sometimes profanity. Most of us are prone to pessimism on a dark and gloomy day, while when the sunlight kisses the snow crested peaks of the mountains and the air tastes like new wine our spirits are attuu,d to natures Ioyliness and we thrill with the joy of life"
 Il the people of Skagway can claim any superiority over those who re- side in other sections of this muudan sphere-aud We think they cau-the weather IS tine reason. In summer We have blue skies with fIeecy clouds travelling overhead. The air is cool, and vibrant with energy. In winter 'tis seldom cold and even our present touch of icyuess is less severe than what is being experienced in the states. At all times the mountains around us rear their majestic crests of snow to greet the morning sun and to be caresscd by its golden flood when the day is done. The winking
 rs and northern lights add to the splendor oG the scene.
 True. We have rain now and then. and the wind bloweth where it Hsteth. But what is this? Nature has blessed us in Skagway and it's influence helps to shape our lives day by day

THE REMOVAL OF THE ROAD

 Although rumors were circulated about the removal for many months before the announcement. no organ. ized effort was made by the mer. chants of Skagway or the Chamber of Commerce to influence the war department to retain the headQuarter here. It may be that the logical city for the headquarters is Valdez, but at the same time skagway is the gate way to Alaska and the work could have been carried on here
 It is probably too late now to take any action but the business men of skagway should profit by this exam pie. There is also talk of removing the federal court from skagway. These rumors may be unfounded. But at the same time it bshooYss the
