The police department of Uddevalla
Is up in arms against the Stockholm
News, which recently published an ar
ticle in reference to the conditions at
Uddevalla. The article charges the
police with gross ineficiency and
drunkenness and such generally a
dalous behavior that the public has
lost all confidence in them. The de-
partment has taken the matter I'D, and
the editor, Gustaf Gullberg, is to be
brought before the court on the
charge Of libel and the abuse of the
rights of the freedom of the press.
The case has the support of the entire

I have frequently referred to the de-

ing liquors in Norway. An investi-
gator has recently prepared a table,
showing that the decline has heen in
progress for several generations. Rec
ords have been taken Of the amount
Of liquor used since 1888, and it seems
to be a fact that the average indi-
vidual drinks five times as little
liquor today as the average individual
seventy five years ago. In 1888 it Is
claimed that the average amount Of
liquor drunk per year by each indi-
vidual was sixteen liters; now /. is a
trife over three liters.

$500, 900 WATER POWER PROJECT.
Famous Homestake Mining Company
Pushing Water Power Project to
Successful Conclusion,

SUCCESSFUL CONCLUSION.
One of the greatest water power
projects in the history of the North
west is being pushed to a successful
conclusion by the famous Hpmestake
Mining company, which in Lead con-
ducts the greatest gold producing
mine in the United States, and one Of
the leading gold producers of the
world.
The company will expend the sum
of about $500, 600 on the water power
project. Preliminary to prosecuting
active work, the company some weeks
ago made application in accordance
with the state law for the a%ppropria-
ton Of a certain amount of water from
Spearfsh creek, n of the principal
watercourses Of the Black Hills.
The company made application for
a permit to appropriate for it's use
100 cubic feet of water per second Of
time from Spearfsh creek through the
Homestake power conduit, the point
of diversion of which is to be located
upon the left bank of the stream a
short distance below Spearf1sh falls,
such water to be used, as stated, for
power purposes.
The location of the power house
will necessitate a conduit three or
four miles in length, and when the
natural fall Of Spearfish creek is con-
sidered this makes it certain that a
conduit OF that length will furnish an
immense horse power.
Ever since the company decided to
install the new power plant it has
had a mar stationed on Spearfsh
creek, whose duty it is to keep care
full tab on the stream. A self-regis-
tering thermometer which keeps a
record for eight days is placed in the
creek, and keeps an accurate account
Of conditions. BY this means the va
r1ations of temperature, together with
their frequency, are kept track of.
The man stationed at the creek
reads the thermometer and watches
the behavior of the streams flow.
Thus the company will be in possess
sion of accurate facts regarding the
possibilities Of the creek during the
winter months. The present winter
Is we'll adapted for the keeping of
such a record, as it has been unusual
ly severe, both in point Of %quickness
with which the variations in tempera-
ture have taken place, and the num-
Der of changes that have occurred.
1t has been an exceptional winter,
and 1t Is hardly possible that a more
trying n will ever again be expert
enced. Hence, if the stream lives up
to requirements during this season, it
Is fairly safe to assume that in future
there will not be any trouble from the
stream. The collection of data being
made will show what is necessary to
guard against and what must be pro-
vided for in the construction of the
mammoth power plant.
Thus far, the records have been of
a very satisfactory character. Tho
data will include the per cent of
water taken up by the ice, how long
the ice lasts, and all the other points
necessary to make a complete record
OF the behavior of the stream flow.

was to be expected, the members Of
the social democratic party are solid
ly arrayed against the proposed meas
ure; they want disarmament and ev-
erlasting peace. The radical lefts are
also against the measure, largely be-
cause they like to be in opposition,
but especially because they think tho
sum asked for is entirely too large.
Some refuse to vote a penny; others
are willing to appropriate four or Ave
million crowns, and a very few Of

The national taxes collected from
the people during the years 1866 and
1867 amounted to 75,050,O00 crowns,
and the local taxes during the same
period aggregated the sum Of 46,700.-
900 crowns-making a grand total OF
1921 900 900 crowns. 1t Is estimated
that the aggregate income of the peo-
ple Of Denmark during the same Pc

the taxes were equal to IL per cent
of the peoples earnings. 1t is there
fore apparent that 1t is expensive to
live In Denmark, but the taxes were
still higher in former times, a thought
which may console the Danish people
somewhat.

Academy of Music.

Joe Weber's Travesty Company is
this season Offering a three-act satire
on the two immensely popular New
York successes, ''The Merry Widow
and "The Devil" the travesty being
entitled ''The Merry Widow and The
DEVIL by George v. Hobart. The
company will be at the Academy of
Music, Baltimore, next week, with
matinees Wednesday and Saturday.
The show is one of the most origin
al burlesques imaginable on the pOpu-
lar plays of the season, and so enter
tanning that those who have not seen
the two plays travestied are bound to
be fascinated, while those who have
been fortunate enough to have seen
the originals will find the burlesque
refreshingly Iudicrous. The original
music, by Franz Lehar, has been re-
tanned.
The satire has been staged by Julian
Mitchell, whose name is a sufficient
guarantee for the nerve and vim of the
performance. Thirty-two of the most
stunning girls who have ever shown
themselves on the stage are in the
chorus, attired in costumes to delight
the feminine observer. In addition,
there are eight French dancers, form
ing a pony ballet of unique excellence.

to wait until a day or two before

in one or two days. The shipment
should be delivered day before
Christmas rather than the day follow

earlier it would afford the company
better opportunity to fulfill the de-
sires of the patrons. He also calls at
tention to this company's 'Do not open

which on packages forwarded in ad-
vance of Christmas day permit them
to be opened in the hands of the con-
