NORWAY.

NORWAY.
The northernmost port of Norway
was treated to a perfectly tropical
heat last summer
The city electric plant Of the city
OF Drammen gave surplus of al
most $4,000 for the past year.
The Birtavarra mining company, at
Lyngen, has been registered with a
capital stock of $4,000, of whish
one-haf has been paid up. The board
of directors consists of four Norwe-
gians and two Englishmen.
Norway has $4,000 saters, or places
in the mountains where the stock is
kept during the warm season. It is
estimated that the milk produced at
the Norwegian saters in one season
exceeds 16,000,000 gallons and about
$1,250.O00 worth of cheese and butter
made at the saters reaches the mar
kets.
Mr.. and Mrs. Mead, American peace
agitators who were on their way to
the peace congress which should have
was postponed on account of the
strike, stopped in Kristiania and gave
lectures which seem to have been
much appreciated.
Traland Falls is the first waterpower
to be utilized for industrial purposes
in the Kvina river, near Mandal. Over
200 men have been at work there
since last winter and in a month or
two pulp factory will be in opera
tion. From the factory to Fedefjord
six-mile trolley is to be stretched
for carrying the raw materials from
the sea to the factory and the pulp
in the opposite direction. Part of
the way the trolley crosses one thou
sand-foot mountains
East and West Norway have been
connected by the Kristiania and Ber-
gen railway. But the railway itself
seems to be very poorly connected"
beginning at the east end of the line,
the rails are strong enough for the
heaviest engines. Next comes a
stretch of light rails, then heavy
rails, and, finally, light rails near the
western terminus. The result is far
more interesting than economical.
The light rails cannot carry the heavy
engines needed in certain sections,
and the rule is that four different en-.
gines must be used for every through
train. Much time is thus lost in
changing engines three times. The
only remedy is to put heavy rails on
the whole line. One reason why
heavy engines are necessary is that
the rails are wet and slippery in the
tunnels through the mountains.

SWEDEN.

The starting campaign is raging ali
over the country, but to an outsider
the fighting lines are too indistinct to
be put down in a few clearcut SEN
tences.
The freight traffic on the car ferries
running between Sweden and Ger
many did not decrease much during
the strike, but the passenger traffic
was demoralized.
Stockholm, Sept 4.-The workmen's
committee has practically given up
the general strike, and more than
100000 men will 60 to work on Mon
day. There has been no violence dur
ing the long struggle, but nothing has
been gained. Great suffering is ex-
pected in the course of the coming
winter.
The king of Sweden officially has
recognized DR.. Cook as the discover
er of the north pole. Minister Egan,
at Copenhagen, has informed the state
department that the king, through the
Swedish minister at Copenhagen, has
congratulated the government of the
United States on the occasion of DR..
Cooks discovery.
Concerning the great strike in
Sweden, the acting consul for Sweden
in New York, C. G. G. Anderberg, made
statement responsive to inquiries
as to the influence of the strike on
the economic activities of Sweden.
"The estimates of losses incurred by
the strike as given by the press, for
eign and domestic, are necessarily
only approximate" said he. "Strik-
ers, of course, lost their wages during
the strike and this has been reck-
oned to be about $250,O00 per day at
the beginning of the strike. On the
other hand this sum represents so
much reduction in favor of the EN-.
ployers. Still it must be conceded
that the prolonged suspension of fac
tory work entails in some industries
considerable loss which becomes
greater the longer the strike lasts
Not 1nconsiderable savings have been
made by the prohibition Of the sale of
beer and spirits during the strike 1t
is to be believed that the loss from
suspended manufacturing activities
will in a measure be neutralized by
the enforced economy and lessened
local consumption. 1t is also conf
IDENTIFY expected that the economic &C.
tivities generally throughout Sweden
and their relations to foreign trade
will not be materially affected by the
strike or it's results"
The Peoples Park, Of Malmo, is
owned and managed by the labor or.
ganizations. Several persons who
have bought season tickets have been
chased out Of the park because they
did not join the strike. A lawsuit
will be the result OF this way of do
ing business.
The king has granted Governor
Hammarskold a six weeks vacation,
in order that he may preside at the
Hague Tribunal, which is to fix the
boundary line between Sweden and
Norway across the Grisebaa fishing
grounds.

Ter.
Another team had an equally narrow
escape from being crushed by the ice
blocks piled over them. The ice on the
north side of the lead was moving around
eastward. The small floor on which
were the captains igloos was drifting
eastward In the open water, and the side
of our igloos threatened to follow suit.
Saved by Quick Dash.
Kicking out the door of the igloos
called to the captains men to pack
their sledges and be ready for a quick
dash when a favorable chance arrived.
We hurried our things on our sledges.

one man to look out for the dogs and
sledges. we hurried, over to assist the
Captains party to join us.
A cosner Of their raft impinged on
the leo on our side. For the rest Of the
night and during the next day the ice
suffered the torment Of the damned,
and grinding. while the open water
belched black smoke like a prairie fire.
Fine Clear Stretch.
Then the motion ceased. the omen wa-
ter closed, the atmosphere to the north
was cleared. and we rushed across be-
fore tho Ice should open again.
A succession Of laterally open leads
were crossed, and after them some heavy
old ice. and then we came to layer OF
young ice. some of which bucked under
our sledges. and this gave US q straight
way of six miles to the north.
Then came more heavy old hoe.
covered with snow. This was a good
long march.
The next march was also long one.

o-~H~s
journey five outward marches in three
return marches
Just as long as we could hold the
trail we could double our speed. and
we need waste no time in building
new lgloos every day, so that the time
we gained on the return lessened the
chances of a gale destroying the track.
Just above the eighty seventh paral-
lei was region some fifty miles wide
which caused me considerable uneasi-
ness. Twelve hours of strong easterly,
westerly. or northerly wind would
make this region an open sea.
In the afternoon of the 7th we start
ed on our return. having double fed
the dogs, repaired the sledges for the
last time. and discarded ali our snare
clothing to Tighten the loads.
Tries to Sound Sea.
Five miles from the pole a narrow
crack filled with recent ice, through
which we were able to work a hole
with a pickax. enabled me to make a
sounding. All my wire. 1900 fathoms.
was sent down. but there was no bot
tom.
In pulling up the wire parted a few
fathoms from the surface and lead and
wire went to the bottom. on went reel
and handle. tightening the sledges still
further. We had no more use for them
now.
Three marches brought us back to
the igloos where the captain turned
back The last march was in the wild
sweep Of a northerly gale, with drift
ing snow and the ice rocking under as
we dashed over it.
Not Delayed by Leads.
South Of where Marvin had turned
back we came to where his party had
built several igloos while delayed by
open leads. Still further south We
found where the captain had been held
up by an open lead and obliged to
camp.
Fortunately the movement Of these
leads was simply open and shut and II
took considerable water motion to fault
the trail seriously.
While the captain. Marvin, and as I
found later. Borup. had been delayed
by open leads. we seemed to bear n
charm and with no single lead were we
delayed more than couple Of hours
Sometimes the ice was fast and firm
enough to carsy us across; sometimes
a short detort sometimes a brief halt
for the lead to close, sometimes an inn
provised ferry on an Ice cake, kept the
trail without difficulty down to the
tenth outward march.

when Charles Wainwright. the eastern
representative Of the American COM
pany. was in Hammond on July lst. he
was very favorably impressed with
Hammond as a possible location for the
first American plant for the manufac-
ture Of reversible turbine engines
Shortly before Judge Mcmahon left
for Europe a demonstration of the
working models was made in the plant
Of the + s Betz CO. in Hammond be-
fore a number of competent mechanical
engineers and the tests were reported
to be nothing less than marvellous.
In Germany the engines have done
more than was claimed for them. and
it is freely predicted there that the
reversible turbine will replace the
reciprocating engine all over the coun-
try.
