the great construction companies in Norway financed with English capital have had to stop work as payments from England have been cut off. Sev- eral of these companies have been har- messing Norwegian water falls for electric powers. The Nitrogen Pro- ducts and Carbide Co. Limited, for in- stance, has been erecting machinery to develop 100000 horse power but after having spent a few million crowns it has entirely ceased opera tions, throwing about a thousand men out of work. Mining companies, ex- porting ore to England, Belgium and France, have also stopped as their market at present is closed. About 5000 hands in this industry are ideal The great industrial factories are kept going as before the war, and there is even a greater demand for workmen than there are men to fill the places. On the Government Railway, under construction, where wages are as high as five dollars a day, they cannot get hands enough.
 There is also plenty of employment for sailors in the merchant marine, and wages are raised considerably be- cause of the danger of floating mines. Two Norwegian steamers have thus far been blown up by these machines. The fishing fleet has kept at work in the North Sea and had very good catches.

FAIRBANKS, Nov. As soon as the returns came in from the coast last night and it was seen that Wick ersham was carrying the First and Second divisions, where the hard fight had been promised him by the Dem ocrats, the delegate began smiling and he knew that all was well. The Fourth division, his home, he expected to carry by large majority, yet he did not quite anticipate such crush ing victory as was his. His confidence was strong in the coast towns from the beginning, but it was pleasant to hear that he had carried Ketchikan, Wrangeli, Douglas, Treadwell, Sitka, Seward and last but not least Valdez, the home of Bunnell. Juneau he lost by a few votes.
 At 1 o'clock when the Valdez news came and at that hour the Wicker sham headquarters was a seething mass of humanity, about as noisy as a crowd on the midway at a fair getting ready to cut loose. However, the dele gate urged them to hold back until Valdez was heard from as he was particularly interested in the outcome there.
 When it came, 362 for Wickersham, 268 for Bunnell and lO4 for Brooks, pandemonium broke loose and rush was made for the doors to the street.
