Fox and Mink Plentiful

All reports coming in indicate that there will be an abundance of fox and mink this winter in various sections of the Seward Peninsula. Not in years have fox been so plentiful and this plenty is in marked contrast to the lack of ptarmigan and the failure of the rabbits. Further, another interesting fact in con nection with Arctic animal life here is that field mice and moles were never so abundant. Their mounds are literally to be seen everywhere. As these furnish the foxes with food, their plenti- fitness also means that the fox will be fat and plentiful also. Old timers explain the matter of the excessive numbers of mice and moles as due to the fact that there have been no tundra fires, owing to the inclement weather preventing them. These fires usually are very destructive of field life helped to overcome the normal fecundity of these ami mals Nome Industrial Worker.

SWEDEN REAPS WhIRL
 WIND

Since the beginning of the war Sweden has been one of the great assets of the Prussian war ma chine, according to the New York Herald. Her neutrality has been sham, her pretense that she has been an unprejudiced non cnmbatant mockery. Like Greece, Sweden was counted upon by the kaiser to help the fatherland, because members of the German royal family had been shrewdly allied in maria ge with the rulers at Athens and Stockholm. Unlike Greece, Swe- den was able to carry out it's part of the matrimonial. military contract through furnishing to the central empires the war sup. plies and foodstuffs which the latter so sorely needed.
 For almost three years Stock holm has been little less than a second Berlin. Court circles and large group of profteering exporters have all but raised the German flag, and would have done this if they had not feared the growing spirit of democracy which even in Sweden is mak- ing the throne unsteady. How Americas refusal to permit Sweden to remain a go-between for Germany has blocked the Berlin war arrange. ments is told in a special cable gram from Paris. Therein is demonstrated by an American what suicidal folly it was for Sweden to permit herself to be made cog in the kaiser's war machine and how the whole country now is..reaping a bitter fruit from the seeds which the pro-German element at Stock. holm planted in their great zeal to garner the Teutonic gold.
 Sweden now calls on high heaven to witness the terrible plight of her furnishing people and begs the United States to give her relief. But a govern. ment that can call on high heaven to witness her nndeviat- ing neutrality, and at the same time be a practical comrade in arms of a power that seeks to enslave the world must not be surprised if honest folk refuse to place any trust either in her calls for help or her promises of future good behavior.
