A good deal was spoken and writ
ten few months ago about Scandi-
navian-American steamship line, but
nothing seemed to be accomplished.
Now the matter has again been
brought before the public. At the
annual meeting Of the stockholders
of the United Steamship Company of
Denmark, President Richelieu explain
ed the situation to the stockholders.
He first gave an account of the pre-.
liminary negotiations. His company,
he said, had been on friendly terms
with leading Swedish and Norwegian
shipowners, and proposition to es-
tablish an American line had been
favorably received by them. But the
hard times had made it impracticable
to start a subscription for such line
In Norway and Sweden just at pres
ent. But the negotiations are still
continued, and the plan will again be
brought before the proper parties at
the proper time.
The new railway car ferry which
will be started between Sweden and
Germany early in the summer is
keeping some of the brightest Danish
brains busy night and day. This line
is expected to deprive Denmark of
much transit trade between the Scan
dinavian peninsula and Germany, and
the question for Denmark is to offer
still better facilities. New ferries are
built, huge bridge is to be built be-
tween Sjalland and Falster, and tun-
mel under the Great Belt has been Sc
riously proposed. But this is not all.
An old proposition to tunnel the
Sound, between Denmark and Swe-
den, has also been revived. A. Qvist-
gard, Danish engineer, has written
an elaborate article on this subject
for trade journal. He proposes to
start the tunnel at Amager, near Co.
penhagen, and run it to Saltholm,
thence distance of about seven Eng
lish miles to Limhamn, Sweden. The
maximum depth of the tunnel would
be about 80 feet under the level of the
water. A train running through this
tunnel would cover the distance be-
tween Copenhagen and Malmo in Al
minutes, as compared with 2 hours
and II minutes which it takes to
travel the same distance under exist
ing conditions. A tunnel between Hell
Singer and Telsingborg would be only
little over half as long, but it would
cost more because it would have to be
dug 100 feet below the water level.

Bond Issue Will Be FOUGHT,

Red Lake Falls.-The board of
county commissioners of Red Lalse
county will endeavor to issue bonds
to the amount of $4,000 for the con-
struction of new courthouse, to re-
place the old structure which burned
last week. There is contest in the
courts, and has been for five years,
between the present county seat
town, Red Lake Falls, and Thief
River Falls, the latter trying to get
vote of the people on the removal of
the county seat to Thief River. It is
probable steps will be taken to pre-
vent the board from issuing bonds
for the purpose stated.

DEN MARK,

There was sudden rise in the
stocks of the Burmeister & Vain iron
works after long period of dullness.
The reason for the rise is said to be
due to a plan to consolidate this COM
pany with the powerful Separator
Manufacturing company. The pro-
posed move is easy to explain. The
former company is already turning
out large quantity of separators, and
a consolidation would do away with
competition between the two compa-
