ROAD WORK COSTLY

Since January 1st Mineral county
has expended $o,52o.60 on road work.
This is an average of $1,000 per
month. The greater part of the mon
ey is spent on the roads diverging
from Nina, owing to the heavy travel
in that section. Still there is room
for great Improvement in the con-
dition of the roads.

warning is made that MalmO and Co
! thenburg in Sweden, and Bergen and

! free harbOrS. The Dane knows that
more cities of Scandinavia will be
needed to handle the enormous result

| fact that the geographical position Of
| either MalmO or GOthenburg is not as
favorable as that Of Copenhagen. Nor
ways claims do not loom large, for
! Bergen and Christiania cannot be
placed in the same category with
| GOthenburg or Malmo.
A Free Port 25 Years.
The port of Copenhagen has been
free for more than % years. For a
period of years 1t was not improved,
but during the war changes have been
made and real development has taken
! place. 1t has been estimated that more
than S10,000,000 has been spent thus.
Its tonnage capacity, reported to be
100000, has been pronounced as in
adequate for the traffic which COpen-
hagen may expect. This condition,
however. may be easily overcome,
since the free port, being north of the
city, is at point where it may be
enlarged to twice it's present capacity.
The free port is semiofficial insti.
| tuition, and is In close connection with
the Danish customs department. In
fact, 1t is an agency of that depart
ment. Like all other free ports, it Of
fers certain advantages to the foreign
manufacturer. Goods may be stored In
its buildings free Of duty for any length
of time. Thus the privilege is afforded
to the Baltic distributor Of having a
convenient stOrehouse for his goods,
which may accumulate during a slack
season. When the demand becomes
heavy the Baltic trader is in a position
to meet the wants of his customers inn
mediately. The cargoes Of ocean-gO-
ing vessels may be unloaded at Copen-
hagen and distributed in the Baltic re-
gions by the smaller steamers which
call at the less important Baltic ports.
These steamers would return to Copen-
hagen with the exports Of the Baltic
regions, which would form the return
cargo of the ocean-going vessels.
The convenience which the Copen-
hagen free port affords the foreign
manufacturer is not confined to the Bal
tic territory alone; for Copenhagen
may well take Hamburgs place for all
Europe. AS Hamburg was at one time
SO Copenhagen is now terminus for
many ships calling at all ports Of the
world, and chiefly European ports.
Hence it offers the same service that
Hamburg did in former years, that
is. quick and cheap transshipment of
goods, when the demand is heavy, to
all important European ports.
