FRIDAY, APRIL 7

STOCKHOLM, April '. - Swedish students and scholars who have been enabled by scholarships to pursue postgraduate work in America have found much to admire in American universities and colleges and are tell ing their folks at home about it.
 American university life seems to have captured their goodwill while American scholarship as represented in the larger universities has evoked their praise.
 What has completely won Swedish scholars, they say, is the liberal spirit and generosity of American colleges in enabling the Swedish visitors to prolong their stay by additional schol- arship grants.

ALASKAN WANTS BENEFIT
 OF NORTHLAND INDUSTRY
Receipts From Seals and Foxes Right fully Belong Here, Is Chambers
 Resolution.

Judge Edward F.

 The government is selling great number of fox-skins every year, and the value of the fur seal skin is much greater. The surplus seal males are killed every year and their carcasses are fed to the foxes.
 Judge Medley intimated his belief that the Cordova resolution, dupli- cate of action by other Northland chambers, can be made effective. He is doing his best with Washington, anyhow.
