He assumes the risk in his business, the production of greater crops, and does it with scarce and incompetent help. Can you blame him. therefore, if he does not listen to all the bunk fired at him telling him his duty!

The trading ship Belevdere. Capt. G. w. Porter arrived in the roadstead from Aandyr this morning after an unusual and difficult experience along the Siberian coast. MT. Olof Swen- son, who is a member of the company operating the Belvedere, reports that the vessel was held up by the Ice off the Anadyr coast for period of twen- ty days and was totally unable to follow the usual course of the annual trading trip owing to the extremely adverse ice conditions found along the coast. As a usual thing the Bel vederc proceeds to the northward of Anaydr and works along the shore when returning south. thus avoiding the ice off .he coast. This year, how

As the vessel was unable to reach Anadyr in time for the annual fur sale. the voyage was hardly a success from the point of view of the owners. Supplies were plentiful aboard, however. and the time was
 passed as easily as possible under the ciicumstances. After remaining in the ice for three weeks or more, the Belvedere was finally able to
