Sweden Bitter
Against British

London, Jan. 19.-The Politike of
Copenhagen, as quoted by The Ex-
change Telegraph correspondent here
says that anxiety has been aroused
in Stockholm by the speech at the
opening of the Swedish parliament
by King Gustave, who urged Wig
orous preparation Of national de-
fense in view o9the disregard on the
part Of the beligerents Of neutral
rights. The situation is. a source of
concern in Stockholm, the cores
pondent says because of the seizure
by the British last week of large
quantity of provisions from the
dish-American steamship Stock
holm from New York to Stockholm.
The action of the British authori-
ties is criticized sharply by The Swe-
dish Press, which expresses the opin-
ion that the value of the goods seized
cannot be regarded as anything like
an adequate offset to the effect of
the incident on the nations between
Sweden and Great Britain. Some
Swedish newspapers state that such
actions are worse than an open rup-
ture.
Hjalmar Branting, the socialist
leader of the second Swedish cham
ber, who recently visited the allied
front in Flanders, is quoted by The
Social Demokraten as saying he pre-
fers decisive action a day too early
rather than day too late in order
to save Sweden from complications.
ut is noted that King Gustav, in
his speech from the throne did not
make the usual reference to the good
relations Of Sweden with foreign
powers" the correspondent adds.
Special interpretations on foreign af-
fairs are expected during the session.

In Withdrawing from the Chronicle

Chronicle has accomplished in the
Golden Valley in small way can
be accomplished in a larger field in

Mr.. Bolstad takes charge of the
Chronicle with no political strings
or attachments. He has no political
intentions. He is a business man
and intends conducting the paper as
a business institution. It will BE-
conducted from the standpoint of q
business manager instead of from
the viewpoint Of an editor, although
Mr.. Bolstad will act in both capaci.
ties. AS stranger coming to ou1

him to Beach people and the Colder

Bandmaster Gone
But Not Forgotten
Took Sudden Departure Last Satur-
day morning-Sheriff Smith
On Trail

Band Master 0. Young, who with
his family, has for the past six
or seven months been resident of
Beach took French leave last Satur-
day morning and since has been un-
able to locate. Immediately after
his departure people who had deal
ings with him found that they were
considerable loser thereby and as q
result Sheriff Seamen Smith is look
ing for our former bandmaster with
a warrant for grand larceny.
MIR. Young. came here along in the
latter part of July from Forsythe,
Mont. At the time of his arrival he
went under the name of Prof Welch
and shortly after changed it to
Young. 1t was. soon found that ha
was the party wanted ut Forsythe
on u charge similar to the one
against him here and he was arrest
ed. The matter was, however, patch
cd up by the payment of the money
which was due Forsythe people and
Young was released. lie proceed
ed to organize a boys band and also
u girls band here and procured the
instruments for both organizations.
He also sold tickets to Il number Of
local people which were good for pri-
|[vate lessons. These tickets were
paid for at $500 each, IN advance.
Most Of the purchasers still have
lessons coming, but Young has got
the money, it is alleged.
After some time the girls band
was disbanded and the Instruments
were turred over to Young to dis
pose Of. He took them to Ollie, Car
lyle and Golva, where he also organ
lied bands and sold the Instruments
but failed to turn over the money re-
ceived for them. We understand
that the band rpembers in the towns
on the south line, as we'll as some at
Bclteld, where band was Just be-
ing organized, are out some money
on the deal. Sheriff Smith informed
US today that it is estimated the to-
tai amount Of money gotten away
with by Young is in the neighborhood
of $500.
Young is a man about fifty-nine
years old but does not look as old
as he really is. He is smooth shaved,
a good clarinet player and also a
good band director. Up to this noon
no trace has been found of him but
Sheriff Smith is devoting all his en-
ergy to finding him and has been
assured by parties interested that
he need spare no expense in at
tempting to secure the arrest.

OTHER LANDS FEEL WAR
PRICES MORE THAN U. S.
Inquiry Shows That Cost of Necessi'
ties Has Increased 63 Per Cent
in Norway over 1914.

An inquiry made by Uncle Sam has
shown that the United States has felt
the increased cost of living resulting
from the great war less than any other
nation in the world. Other neutral
countries have been touched almost as
heavily as the belligerents.
The statistics give the biggest food
price advances in Austria, where
meats are more than 500 per cent
higher than before the outbreak Of
hostilities. Beef that in February,
1914, sold for 63 cents a pound now
brings 3S.7 cents. Meat prices in Ber-
lin show increases ranging from 40 to
100 per cent.
The British public is paying on an
average 80 per cent more for it's food
than it did two years ago. The great
est increase, 152 per cent, has been
In sugar; the lowest, IL per cent, in
Oleomargarine.
In France prices are % per cent
above the prewar average; in Italy
around 10 per cent.
Price increases in the neutral coun-
tries are shown to be highest in Nor
way, where 20 necessities are sold at
an average Of 3 per cent more than

Method Of Locating Guns.

Science has discovered that gun
fire affects the eurth's surface much
as an earthquake, so it is not surpris-
ing to learn that guns are being To-
Gated by the seismograph-th deli
cate little instrument which records
terrestrial tremOrs. An Austrian au-
thority on the subject of earthquake
disturbances announces that the seis-
mOgraph can record the position of
hostile artillery as well as the caliber
Of the guns.
In fairly recent engagement be-
tween Italian and Austrian troops on
the Isonzo, the tremors induced by the
heavy cannonade were duly registered
by the apparatus, and the operator
was able to detect, by means of dia-
grams of artificial movements of the
ground, the difference between the
shocks produced by the fall Of projec-
tiles and those caused by the recoil of
the guns. Moreover, the form of the
tracings revealed to the practiced eye
the number as well as the caliber Of
the latter.-Popuar Science Monthly.

INDIANS RICHES GROW
Income of Members Of 0sage
Tribe Is Increased.
Fortune Smiles en- Oklahoma Red Men,
Already Known as WeaIthest Peo.
pie, Per Capita, in World.


Some Of Uncle Sans wards-thc
Usage mdians-whO have beeu noted
us the wealthlest people, per capita,
In the world, have become still richer,
BY a new arrangement between the
Indians and oil operators, the average
annual income Of more than 1000 al
lotted Osages, will be increased from
between 5000 and 500 per annum, to
something between 5000 and $1,000 per
annum. The per capita wealth OF
these Indians is estimated by the In.
dian office at about $4,000. The new
leases are for a period Of five years,
but may run until the year 1881 pro-
vided oil and gas continue TO be found
in paying quantities.
The 6SO,0OO acres of land involved
was held under the "Foster lease" by
about 100 sub-lessees in areas ranging
from 40 to 100000 acres. Under this
lease the tribe received one-elghth roy.
atty on the oil produced.
As the result of extended public
hearings conducted by Secretary Lane
with oil operators, sub-lessees aud all
other interested parties, the making OF
thorough investigations by government
| agents, and conferences with the
/ tribal council of the Indians, new oil
leases have been granted to sub
lessees covering their former holdings,
not exceeding 4,S00 acres each. and
aggregating about 100000 acres, OF
which about 10000 acres by quarter.
section units is subject to a rental OF
one dollar per year until drilled, leav.
ing about 100000 acres Of the old lease
| to be leased for oil in the future.
/ The Osages will receive under the
new oil leases one-sixth royalty from
wells producing less than 100 barrels
/ per day and one-ffth royalty from
wells producing 100 or more barrels
daily; also a rental of one dollar per
acre per year on each 100 acres of un.
developed land. Furthermore, as a
result of the recent sales at public
auction of about $4,000 acres of the
producing lands formerly held by OPP
orators on which producing wells aver.
age less than five barrels Of oil per
| day and / ,760 acres on which the wells
average over 25 barrels per day on
each 100 acre tract, there was realized
cash bonuses aggregating about S3,-
233,0OO, in addition to the stipulated
royalties.
Former gas leases covering the game
land embraced 6S0,0OO acres. New gas
leases cover about 100000 acres. Un.
der former gas leases, the tribe re.
ceived 500 per annum for each gas
well in service which aggregated
about $4,000 annually. AS a result
Of conferences between gas men and
the secretary, the tribe will receive un.
/ der new gas leases a minimum royalty
Of cents per thousand cubic feet
measured at or near the wells, which
royalty it is expected will aggregate at
least 100000 annually.
It is therefore estimated that the
| annual income to the Usage tribe un.
der new oil and gas leases, based on
/ the same production as during the past
year, will aggregate at least $2,50O,000,
in addition to the S3,233,OO0 received
in cash at recent sales, as against
about S500,O00 heretofore received an.
nually under the old lease.

Bearers of Perfume.

DO you. know those little crystal
pottery bulldogs, so-called "luclIy
dogs" which are provided with bril-
liants for eyes and are supposed to
bring good luck to the owner as they
repose as weight on the desk? Well,
you can use them for another purpose.
Make tiny bag Of silk and till ii
with a pungent sachet; tie it about
the dogs neck, and you will have a
most attractive custodian Of the bit
OF elusive perfume for the dressing
table or desk. In the latter case, the
perfume should be less dainty and
more of the sandalwood or oriental
character.
Elephants in the same solid crystal
have huge borders of silk-covered
sachet on their backs. Both these ami
mails make cunning favors for parties,
and with cards attached may be used
as place cards as well.

FOREST NOTES
(From the Forest Service, U. S.
Department Of Agrieulture.)

It is estimated that automobiles car.
ried to the Grand Canyon National
monument last year 10000 persons,
while the number of persons to reach
the canyon by railroad was $4,000, or
five times as many as in 1914.
New Mexico official reports show
that 360,325 cattle and 1,219,762 sheep
were shipped out of that state in 1915.
Most of this stock was grazed on
public lands, especially the national
forests. On the forest ranges the for
age crop is as much an object of care
as the timber crop, and is increasing
as a result of scientific methods.
Approximately So per cent of the
losses of cattle on the national forest
ranges due to poisonous plants is
caused by tall larkspur. Death camas,
lupine, laurel sneeze weed, and rub
Der weed are responsible for sheep
weed is the principal poisonous plant
affecting horses. Last year the loss
from this cause amounted to S3OO,OOO.
That wild burros in the Grand can
yon of the Colorado are increasing
rapidly is the report from ranger on
the Tusayan National forest, who says
the little animals in their Search for
forage are finding their way to the top
in such numbers as to constitute
nuisance. Already there are thousands
of the animals in the Grand canyon
from Supai to the mouth of the Little
Colorado, according to the forest ran
