operette the subject OF which is a
North Pole expedition which did not
reach the pole.
The water in the Hjelle mill pond in
Skien is to be raised three feet, and
that will add 900 horsepower to the

All the houses but the main building
on the Modrum estate, near Fetsund
station, were destroyed by fire in the
night. The flames were seen far and
wide, and large part OF the popula-
ton Of the neighborhood rushed to
the place, and but for the hard work
of these volunteer firemen the main
building would have gone up in smoke
with the rest. The stock was saved.
but what was left of last years crops
was destroyed
In 1908 the merchant marine of
Bergen ranked as number one with a
tonnage of 36S, 400, Kristiania coming
as number two with tonnage of 1876
GOO. By the first Of January, 1910,
Kristiania had jumped to the head of
the column with total tonnage of
411,000, which Bergen had only 4O6,.
600 at that date. Figures are not
available for the past year, but it is
supposed that Kristiania has left her
competitor still farther to the rear.
Several hundred farmers from
southwestern Norway attended a
farmers convention at Stavanger in
the latter part of January. Lectures
on the different branches of farming
were given by recognized authorities
en- those subjects. The farmers union
of Stavanger was organized with
membership Of fifty The farmers
supply company decided to buy a
property in Stavanger which is to be
used as a warehouse, the price agreed
upon being 100000

ROAD TO COMPETENCE
Purchase of Real Estate Often Leads
to Fortune

No road to competence is smoother
than that which starts from the Dur.
chase Of we'll chosen real estate. No
man OF ordinary income should neg
lect to invest a portion of his earn
ings in land
The young man who makes a pay
ment on a piece of property and as
sumes further payments will not
throw his money away foolishly A
liability OF that kind teaches a man
TO save, gives him a standing in the
community, awakens civic pride in his
bosom, and makes him a better citi.
zen.
More than sixty years ago the rel
atlves of John Hunt of New York
tried to have him declared insane be
cause he had paid $4,000 for a bit OF
New York real estate The orher day
the same piece sold for sl,625,OOO.
Real estate in the right location is
an ideal investment. It cannot be de.
stroyed, burned, lost or stolen. And
it will increase more rapidly than
money in almost any other form.-

MISPLACED COMMUNICATIONS

/ : /. ! t ID
At a recent meeting of the Ameri-
can Association of Scientists, held III
! Minneapolis, there was a great deal
+ Of pessimistic talk and discussion in
reference to the disagreeable and dis
Icouraging features of farm life. A
! New Yorker read paper to prove
| that farm land values were unduly in
fiated, and that this country could not
have prosperity until farm lands
could be purchased more cheaply.
This sort of talk, coming from a part
OF the country where the greatest
crop consists of abandoned farms. ard
where said abandoned farms (due to
soil robbery can now be purchased
in many cases at less than the cost of
the buildings and fences upon them,
need not seriously concern farmers in
region where land values for the
past five or ten years have been
steadily increasing, without any arti-
crease. Minnesota has not been
doomed at ALL and nearly two-thirds
OF it's tillable land is yet unoccupied.
Yet Government statistics show
that Minnesota farm land has increas-
ed in value eighty-two per cent in the
past ten years, exclusive of the value
Oh the buildings and other improve
ments. This refers to the land alone.
The value, including the buildings has
increased eighty-eight per cent.
This is a direct and official answer
to the pessimistic theory of the man
who is entirely out Of touch with the
land situation = Northwestern Agri-
culturalist.

The City and the Saloon
BY T.. M. Cox

After completing the examination
Of all the cities OF the state OF Iowa
Tor The second time (under the direc-
ton Of the auditor of state), | have
discovered that q saloon revenue is
not necessary for city's mainten-
ance.. Instead | have found and can
confidently state, that from iina1,-
cial standpoint saloons are a menace
and hindrance to the welfare of any
city
Having forced this opinion after
making a comparison Of cities of near
ly the same population and surround
ing ones, with and the other without
saloons, I found that without excep-
ton The city without saloons was in
the better financial condition. After
discovering that this condition existed
] undertook to find the reason for it.
For example. after examining the
accounts of a certain city which had
two saloons ia each one thousand in
habitants I found it's Indebtedness SO
great that it exceeded the legal limit.

SWEDEN.

The street cars Of Stockholm were
taken into the mail service five years
ago. At first they carried an average
OF 1900 letters a day, but now the
average is about 1000 a day.
Grand Hotel, the largest building in
Halmstad, was totally destroyed by
fire. A servant girl, Emma Johansson
of Slattakra, was burnt to death. She
was seen after the fire started, and
she is supposed to have returned to
the burning building to save some of
her effects. The loss was about S7O,-
900.
The plans for free harbor at NAL
mo are SO comprehensive that when
they are carried thru Malmo will have
the second largest commercial harbor
in the world. The leading business
men of Copenhagen are beginning to
worry lest they lose some of their
trade to the energetic Swedish com.
petitor.
When a tenant farmer on the Fin
spong estate dies his nearest heir has
the first chance to rent the property
The result is that in many cases the
farms pass from father to son as if by
inheritance. Karl E. Peterson, who
rents farm at Olofstorp, can look
back upon five generations of male
ancestors who rented the same farm
without break in the line.
An architect named Boberg is pre-
pairing plans and specifications for
the proposed Nobel palace in Stock
holm. The main auditorium will have
either 14OO or 1000 seats If the
former alternative is chosen work may
begin on the building at once, but if
the latter is chosen the work will
have to be put off for a few decades
for lack of available funds.
Erik Olofsson of Enafors and Johan
Henriksson Of Asan, West Jamtland,
went to the Snasahogen mountains to
hunt white grouse (ripor). They
walked on skis, and had their guns
cooked. When they came to the hunt
ing grounds Henriksson's gun was ac-
cidentally discharged, and the load
of shot was lodged in Olofsson's leg.
They were many miles from the near
est human habitation. Henriksson
carried his wounded comrade about
quarter of a mite, but the burd en-
was too much for him, and he left
him and went alone to the nearest
house. When Henriksson and another
man returned Olofsson was almost un.
conscious from loss of blood, and both
of his legs were frozen. Olofsson was
taken back back to Enafors and put
on train bound for Storlien, where
medical attendance was ordered.
Gustaf Froding, the poet, has been
suffering from diabetes for some time
past, and now it is reported that he
is getting worse. The seriousness Of
the case may be inferred from the
fact that he has been given campaor
injections. Lung catarrh has also set
in. Physically Mr.. Froding is robust
! man, and he is expected to revocer.
Karl Huffman, resident of Malmo,

condition and the mayor refused to
sign the record OF the council pro-
ceedings when | asked him to do so.
My next examination was city OF
the size and surroundings as the
above. There had been no saloons for
years. I found better sidewalks, bet,
ter and more paved streets, an indebt-
edness about one-fourth the amount
of the former city; besides this city
owned its own water plant valued at
a hundred thousand dollars The po-
lice force consisted of a day and a
night marshal. with one arrest during
my stay of two weeks in the city.
The above examples are not isolat-
ed for the purpose of making an ex-
elusive comparison for l continued
my Investigation throughout the state
with like results.
I will state further that there are
one Of these cities has more saloons
one of thsee cities has more saloons
than Des Moines. About the time Of
the closing of the saloons in Musca-
tine visited that city My attention
was called to the vacant buildings
caused by the closing down of the ss
loon business, and l will admit the OLD
town did look bad, for the breweries
had placarded the windows of these
buildings calling attention to the de.
plorable condition Of things. Two
years from this time | again made an
examination of the accounts OF the
above city I found every one Of
those empty buildings occupied by
some legitimate business. New bust
ness blocks had been erected, one
banking interest had already erected
a very commodious cement structure
and another had it's foundation start

they bought.

the banks and the small savings de-
posts in his bank had increased over
one hundred thousand dollars and BIZ
inquiry had found the other banks had
increased accordingly.
