Since we began selling lots in this

First: That the real demand is for
moderate size house lots-and in ac-
cordance with our suggestion the own
er has Undivided; the two large lots
into twelve smaller ones containing
from $4,000 to 10000 square feet; Still
good sized lots!
Second that the lots in this land
come pretty near selling themselves:
The reason? Because the lots are
not remnants nor undesirables left
over after the pick, but are the real
choice locations. This is easily prov
ed by visit to the land. Let us show

News Of Scandinavia
Principal Happenings Of the Week
In the Scandinavian Countries.

The Danish Nationaltidende recent
" contained lengthy article about q
visit which King Oscar and Queen
Sole Of Sweden and Norway paid to
the Danish court in 1875. As soon as
they put their feet on Danish soil
they were received with b0isterous
enthusiasm by the people. and King
Oscar, being carried away by this
popular outburst of Joy. made speech
in which he used strong language
about the bonds which kept the peo-
PIES Of the North together. The Danes
took this as token Of closer political
relations between Denmark and Swed-
en- In the near future. King Oscar
continued his journey and few days
later visited the imperial court of
Berlin. The kaiser and several other
members of the imperial family met
King Oscar and Queen Sole at the
depot, and the magnificent splendor
Of the occasion at once made a pro-
found impression on the poetic mind
Of King Oscar. At the close of 4
grand parade on Tempelhofe Field q
dinner was given at the Franz Bar
racks, and now came the time for a
speech by King Oscar. In this
speech he went so far as to wish for
- more intimate martial fraternity
between the armies" of Sweden and
Germany. This speech was a great
disappointment to Denmark, and even
in Sweden and Norway it was criti-
cised as far from diplomatic. King
Oscar was do doubt carried too far by
his feelings on this occasion, for dur
ing his long reign he proved himself
to be true friend Of Denmark. But
this speech went far towards prevent
ing closer connection between Swed-
en- and Denmark.

DEN MARK.

In Z correspondence from Copen-
hagen to a London paper it is stat
ed that Kaiser Wilhelm prevented
Denmark from carrying out her plans
for improving her Notifications by
land. Two years ago the rigsrad be-
gan to discuss proposition to build
a series of forts for the protec-
ton of Copenhagen from an invasion
by land, the cost being estimated at
about $10,000,000. All of a sudden the
whole matter was dropped, and short
ly afterwards it was resolved to spend
the money for improving the coast de-
fences, especially those protecting the
harbor Of Copenhagen. In connection
with this move it was also decided
that number Of small craft should
be added to the navy. Now this sud-
den change of policy is explained as
follows: Kaiser Wilhelm, thru his
minister in Copenhagen, told the
Danish government that the building
Of any comprehensive system of land
Notifications in Denmark would be
looked upon as an insult to Germany
and would be. regarded with extreme
displeasure by the German people.
But other means of pressure were
also brought to bear upon Denmark
at the critical moment. Negotiations
for commercial treaty were sudden
~ interrupted by Germany, and the
German minister in Copenhagen was
granted leave of absence which left
his position vacant for the longest
period since the German-Danish war
of 1864. Another strange feature of
the plan Of defense is, that over g.

ment. But in case of war between
Germany and England tho former
could, by occupying it, cripple the
Danish export Of farm products to
England.

hunt white grouse (ripor). They
walked on skis, and had their guns

cidentally discharged, and the load
OF shot was lodged in Olofsson's leg.
They were many miles from the near

carried his wounded comrade about
a quarter Of a mile, but the burden
was too much for him, and he left
