Norway.


Consul General Il. III. Dennlson at
Christiania has made report to the
department Of commerce at Washing
ton, in which he says: THE extent to
| which Norwegian industry has expand
ed under the stimulus of the war Is
demonstrated in a compilation of the
| new companies formed during the first
nine months of the current year. The
total amount Of capital of these new
companies Is given as $1SS, 451 600, d.
vided into six groups as follows: Ship
ping companies. S14S, 10000; banks,
S17,52S,OOO; industrial companies, $12,-
100000; mining companies. 81, 139, 900 (;
insurance companies. $4.325 600; other
commercial companies, s3,315,OO0. In
addition. $6,164, 600 has been invested
In public loans. For country of the
size of Norway, these figures are
large"
The Aftenblad Of Stavanger de-
clares that there has been less build
ing in that city the present year than
has been the case during the four pre-
yious years. During each Of those
years the average number of new resi-
dences constructed was $50 per year
During the first nine months of the
present year 105 residences were erect
ed, and it Is probable that the total
| for the year will not run up to more
than about 125 or 40. One reason for
the decline in the number of houses Is
the difficulties encountered in getting
certain material and the increase in
the cost Of other materials still OBJ
tainable.
Mr.. and Mrs. Andrew K. Lind of
Christiania have presented to the So
ciety for the finding Of homes for
homeless children furnished home at
No. s Normansgaden, Christiania. Mr..
Lind was the first president of the So
ciety 30 years ago and has always been
pillar of support. The presentation
of the home was In connection with

Denmark.
So far the government of Denmark
has not indicated its attitude toward
the peace move of President Wilson,
nor has the Danish press discussed the
matter as freely as have the leading
papers of Sweden. Denmark has been
anti-German from the beginning, owing
to the war of 1864, when Germany took
from Denmark her possession, Schles-
wig-Holstein, and 1t is apparent that
the neutral nations that have the least
sympathy for Germany are the least
inclined to support the American
peace move.
Telegraphing from Copenhagen, the
correspondent Of the Exchange Tele-
graph company quotes the Frankfurter
Zeitung as saying: Germany does
not want cessation of fighting but
merely conference at which all the
belligerents shall openly state their
peace proposals. A conference will be
held at The Hague about January 10
While the conference is Id session all
the belligerents will be allowed to con
tinue military operations"
1t Is probable that the Danish Yves,
Indies will become the property of the
United States the latter part of Janu
airy next. Both houses of the Danish
rigsdag have ratified the treaty pro
viding for the sale. and King Chris
tan has also ratified it in the cabinet
council. The exchange of the ratifica
ton instruments will take place al
Washington and will complete the
transaction.
According to Politiken, a German
corporation is negotiating for the pur
chase Of real estate at Amager. which
1t Is surmised, will be used as the
site for large manufacturing estab
lishment. The price to be paid fol
the real estate in question is 2eo,0Ot
crowns.

CITY SCHOOL NOTES
Interesting News of Our City
Schools

Mr.. and Mrs. Hunter presented
the high school with a fine collection
Of mounted birds representing all
the various birds frequenting and
are native to the Black Hills. The
specimens are perfect in mounting
and preservation and is indeed q
valuable asset to the school as it's
worth cannot be measured in dol
lars and cents, owing to the fact that
another such collection could not be
secured.
The students find much interest
in the study of these birds and ap-
preciate Mr.. and Mrs. Hunters gift
very highly. The collection which
is in a glass case has been given a
conspicuous place in the hallway at
the head of the stairs on the second
floor.
The students Of the high school
have been organized into two liter
ary societies which include the en-
tire student body. and plans are be-
ling arranged for the work Of the
year. Each society will give at
least two programs each semester.
These programs will be given to the
public on Friday afternoon ct the
lend OF each month. There Will be
inte-society contests In debate. ora

which under the present superin-
tendent have forged to the front and
are now as good as any in the state.
The Rapid City Journal has the
following regarding the contest:
The spelling contest held in con-
nection with the Alfalfa Palace fea-
tured Thursday afternoons perform
s.nce. This was won by Margaret
Birdsall, of Fall River county, a girl
from the rural schools in that coun-
ty. Each contestant was given 25
words to spell by Chas. Nystrom,
who officiated as pronouncer and as
the contestant missed the word the
judges made note of 1t. Miss Bird
sail spelled all of her rs words cor
rectly but the others missed one or
more of their words. If contestant
misspelled a word the word was
dropped and new word given the
next contestant, the same as though
the word had been spelled correctly.
The winner received a prize of $50
in gold and silver loving cup Civ
en- by the Alfalfa Palace Committee
on which her name will be engraved
and which will remain in her pos
session for one year. At the end of
that time it will be returned to the
Alfalfa Palace Committee and will
be competed for next year."

A NARROW ESCAPE.
Ex-Congressman Martins Auto Goes
Over Embankment.

The large number of friends of
e. w. Martin all
over. the state will be pleased to
know that he was not seriously in
jured yesterday when his automo-
bile went over the embankment on
the Spearfish road near the Smith
monument. Mr.. Martin says that he
recalls that he felt slightly "dozy'
from the suns warmth in the can
yon after the cool morning ride
from his ranch near Hot Springs,
and that suddenly he aroused from
apparently momentary slumber
and found his machine at the brink
of the embankment just in time to
head it straight down the embank-
ment rather than go down sideways.
which he did, thus saving the car
from rolling over which no doubt
would have brought fatal consequen-
ces. 1t was a miraculous escape, re-
>sulting only in a broken nose and
a few slight cuts upon the nose and
lips, caused by Mr.. Martin being
suddenly thrust against the wind
shield.-Pioneer-Times.

rarture from the old plan and as the
work is to be made q part Of the reg
ular school work 1t is expected that
number of excellent programs will
be staged during the year. All the
students of the high school are mem
bers and will have part. One to
ten points, can be earned by each,
owing to the character and merit of
the work done. These points may
be added to the grade in any subject
the student may elect. BY this
method every student in the high
school will have an opportunity to
take part in the literary work and
the students seem to be enthusias-
tic In their plans for making the
literary work an important part of
their school work.
The school was divided into two
sections and section one held q meet
ing Tuesday at the close of school

The seventh and eighth grades are
making rapid progress in their
chorus work under the direction of
Miss Mills, the music teacher.
The board of education has pur-
chased teachers desks for two of the
