Conjecture on Argentina.

How Argentina will receive the in.
suit, coming close on her diplomatic
victory with Germany is the subject
Of a good deal of conjecture. I'm
doubtedly public opinion in Argentina
will go far toward determining that
point.
To Sweden, however, the United
States, and it's Allies as we'll, looks for
action which will purge the Swedish
government and the Stockholm for
eign office of the stigma of knowingly
having been Germany's tool in her
newest. intrigue. American officials
would like to believe that Sweden Of
f1ciaIly discountenances any such en-
croachments on her neutrality and
that Sweden's legation was imposed
upon by Luxburg.
May Not Have Known.
Officials and diplomats entertain the
possibility that it may have trans
mitted Luxburg's dispatches without
knowing their exact contents, taking
the German charges word that they
were no breach of Sweden's obliga-
lions to Argentina They also enter
tain the possibility that Luxburg, with
a diplomacy of which the world has
learned more since German secrets be-
gan to leak out, may have told the
Swedish legation one thing and writ
ten another in his dispatches.
Whatever becomes the accepted ex-
PLANTATION, officials and diplomats here
are unanimous in their belief that
Sweden must disavow any particip'
ton or responsibility, and take aprro-
pirate steps to show her good faith.

Germany's Probable Action.

Germany's probable action is more
or less discounted. Anxious to retain
the friendship of the few nations
which have not gone to war with her,
it is expected that amends will be Of
fered to Argentina for the German
charges references to the foreign min
lister as notorious ass" and his rec
concentrations that Argentine ships be
destroyed without leaving any trace. .
This might take the form of Luxburg's
recall and a Reputation of his action.

Seims, as Frontier
Contractor, Had Hard
Lot; Made a Fortune


Peter Seims. millionaire st. Paul
contractor and former Fargo resident,
who died at his home in st. Paul sew
eral days ago. got his start in Fargo
back In the seventies-when Fargo
was on the northwestern frontier.
It was in 1872 that Mr.. Seims land
ed in Fargo. and during the first few
months of his residence here, he
engaged in small contracting work,
doing such small Jobs as basement
digging, handling hay contract for
Northern Pacific construction crew,
and in other small work.
In the fall OF 1873. Mr.. Seims OBJ
tanned the contract for handling the
mail between Fargo and Bismarck, the
Northern Pacific abandoning service
during the period from Dec. 1 to May
1. except for two or three supply
trains. 1t required about twenty days
to make the trip from Fargo to Bis
marck and return. 1t being a hard
winter. and the contractor made little
or nothing on the venture.
The Fargo forum and daily republican. [volume] (Fargo, N.D.) 1894-1957, 1917-03-06

During the succeeding winter, how
ever. he again took over the contract,
and that season the weather was
moderate. and trains were operated
regularly. AS a result, all the con-
tractor had to do was to mount the
train with his mail pouch, ride out to
Bismarck and back-and make 5000
for each trip.
The funds accumulated during the
winter made it possible for Mr.. Seims
to branch out. and he handled work
on the Mandan to Black Hills road.
In 1873 to 1879. Mr.. Seims left Fargo,
and he had since resided in st. Paul.
From his small beginning. Mr.. Seims
became a millionaire. twice or thrice
over. Recently. he came to national
attention by reason OF the big Chinese
railroad contract that he undertook.
Mr.. Seims was a charter member of
the Fargo Blue lodge OF Masons, and
he retained his membership through
out his life. He held membership No.
80 in the local lodge.
