Doukhobors Considering
Return to Russia

Toronto, Dec. ia report from
Yorkton, Sask., says that there is a
movement among the Independent
'Doukhobors" to migrate back to
Russia, whence they came more than
a quarter of a century ago. There
are about 5000 Of the sect working
forms outside the original Duokhobor
communal colony over which Peter
Nerigin is the head. Verigin's fol-
lowers in Saskatchewan and British
Columbia are not involved.
Two agents from the independent
districts, which have been formed by
offshoots from the original communal
colony. have been in Russia and have
just returned to Canada. No definite
information is available as to the
nature Of their report on the proposed
trek back to Europe.
The religious beliefs and practices
OF the "Doukhobors" have frequently
brought them into conflict with the
provincial and federal governments.
The education law and the war time
draft resulted in the movement Of a
large colony to Mexico.

Sweden's Budget

Stockholm, Dec. 4.-Tke various

ment are concerned just now with

directions, according to information
received by the Minister of Finance.
The customs service reports that
the duties on imports for the next
fiscal year will total about s2S, O0O, 900.
which is slight increase over the

already profitable, will so continue,
it is said, and show a surplus Of
about s1,600.000, while the deDart-
ment Of telegraphs is expected to
take in 100000 more than it ex-
ponds.
The state railways, with the ex-
ception of the ore carrying roads,
expect a surplus of about $500, 900.
This figure will be cut. however, by
deduction for the increase in wages
which will continue at a rate not now
determined for several months dur
ing the next fiscal year. The state
railways which serve the iron mines
by carrying ore expect to realize
about five percent on the invested
capital.
A total Of 100000 is expected
from the government mono ply in to-

will be realized from the sale by the

Labor Protests
Repeal of
| PrOfteering Act

-. Sydney, N. S. w. Dec. 5.-Labor
supporters in New South Wales are
complaining against the expressed in
tention Of the government to repeal
the profiteering act, a measure of the
late labor government which was in
tended to save workers from unduly
high prices.
The complaints contend that the
repeal Of the act would leave the
workers at the mercy of profiteers.
The Nationalist government, how
ever, proposes to go even further
than its predecessors in this matter,
it has been announced, and, while the
Profiteering act will be repealed, it
will introduce legislation of kind
previously unknown in New South
Wales, for the repression of harmful
monopolies and restraints of trade.
The new bill provides that any
person is guilty of an offense if he
monopolizes or attempts to monopo-
lize the production or manufacture,
trade or commerce in any commodity
or article of commerce or the supply
OF any services. Every contract made
in contravention of this provision
would be declared illegal and void.
A penalty of 500 pounds is provided
for a first offense and a second Of
Tense would be liable to fine of 500
pounds or years Imprisonment.
Provision is made also for Supreme
court Injunction to prevent harmful
monopoly or arrangement" from
continuing, fine of 500 pounds be-
ing provided for each day that the
offense continues. Persons injured
by a monopoly or trade arrangement
may recover damages.

N. E. College
To Reclaim Swamp

Charlestown, II. l., Dec. 25.-Little
locomotives are humping over newly
laid rails on corduroy flooring, a
27-ton walking dredge is blowing its
way through the muck, steam hois-
ter is putting noisily, and the ring
of the axe is heard in the depths of a
forest in this town to which few
white men previously had penetrated
The great Indian swamp is in the
early stages of transformation into a
market garden.
Already 200 acres Of the swamp
have been drained and cleared. On
this tract next spring members of
the faculty of Rhode Island State
College will conduct a demonstra :
ton in cultivation.
The swamp, little more than two
miles long and with ap average width
of two miles and a half, is heavily
timbered. White pine, cedar, oak and
maple predominant. Some of the
pines already felled measured three
feet in diameter, and eac,i of these
when sawed made 1000 feet or more
of lumber.
WOrl.men are now engaged on the
last lap of broad road cut straight
through the swamp for the logging
railroad. Large quantities of timber
and cordwood already have been
hauled out. The steam holster, in
stalled on a fiat car, shoots out its
steel ca bles and hauls the great sleds
each loaded with from three to ten
tons of logs, to the side of the rail-
road. 1t is utilized also for pulling
stumpS.
The dredge has advanced half a
mile from the starting point Of the
main canal which is being dug for
drainage purposes and which will
extend the length Of the swamp and
back along the other side. When
completed the canal will be utilized
also for floating out logs. There will
be two siX-foot cross bitches.
1t is estimated that four million
feet of logs and five thousand cords
of firewood will be logged off the
tract. Five years is the time sched-
uled from the start of reclamation
to the final preparation of the land
for truck farming. The swamp is
rich in muck deposits which promise
great fertility.

Independent Paris
Artists Regulate
Their Exhibit

Paris, Dec. 6.-The Society of In
dependent Artists has just resolved
to regulate itself. Its principal
characteristic, heretofore, has been
the entire absence of regulations
from its annual salon. Members sent
any sort of picture and it was hung
in any sort of way without regard to
its class, merit or subject.
The eccentricities of the Independ-
ent's salon sufficed to make it a sue
cess, and with success came the
necessity for regulation. The regu-
lations, however, amount to little
more than to limit the number of
pictures sent in. The quality still
depends On the taste and talent of the
artist. There will, as of old, be no
jury mercilessly to reject, and the art =
lists will be permitted to set a price
on all pictures shown.

When Maine ran out OF the ScOS-

other statesmen, with an occasional
departure such is Bangor, which was
called after a favorite hymn. But
with all the raids on the atlas and

rich residuum of Indian names, espe-

who have a taste for the state, either

Central Europe
Losing Valuable
Railroad Equipment

Vienna, Dec. 5.-While the men,
bers Of the Austrian Rolling Stock
Commission are making efforts to
decide how the equipment of the
former Austrian railroads shall be
divided among the newly made states,
thousands of locomotives and freight
cars are rotting on the sidings of
Central Europe. The commission,
which is composed of one represen-
tative of each of the seven states
erected from the old Austrian En-
pire, was appointed under the treaty
of st. German to dispose of the rail-
roads and rolling stock under 4 plan
favorable to the Allies.
The commission has so far been
unable to come to a decision, and it
has had to dismiss it's staff of en-
Gineers and experts because of lack
of funds. The British government
has been advancing money to the
commission for its work, but last
summer it refused to loan any further
amounts until repayment was guar
anteed. The commission has been
unable to do this, although the roll
ing stock in question is said to be
worth $500,000,0
