Sweden. Climate Like canada's

SWeoeh's CIimate Like CanaoTs
The climate OF Sweden is not unlike
that Of Canada. The summer though
short is occasionally very hot in June
and July. The ground is generally
covered with snow from the middle OF
November to the middle of April then
follows brief spring, accompanied by
. rapid growth Of vegetation. There
Is also short fall. The long summer
days, when the sun only goes below
the horizon for an hour or two, have a
peculiar charm. At Helsingfors the
mean temperature for the year is 40,
while at Abo it is Al. The annual
rainfall at Helsingfors is about 70
inches.

WITH THE AMERICANS After a--particularly heavy and intensive bombardment by the German batter ies on the positions held by the American troops on the Vosges sal tent, the Hun infantry advanced in force to the attack early on Tues day. Our troops met the shock of their attack very firmly and severe fighting ensued. The Americans, although greatly outnumbered, re- fused to give an inch of ground and are said to have fought like demons with the result that the at- tacking forces were hurled back with very heavy losses.

 Contracted For.

R. E. Burns & Go. have been awarded a contract for the supply of five thousand tons of Ignite coal of good quality for the use of the Alaskan Engineering commission, the contract goes into effect imme- diately and Burns and his partners will probably go out to their mine and commence mining immediately.

 The coal vein which Messers Burns & Go. have tapped is situated ap- proximately from 600 to 1000 feet in a westerly direction from Station No. 17435 on the right of way.
 The coal will be taken delivery of as required by the Commission at the right of way near the mine, and will probably be put to general use on the railroad. where large quantities of fuel are required. It will also be used on the locomotives and in the shops in the Nenana yard
