MARINE LOCKS LIFT
 SHIPS OVER HILLS
Climbing Mountains in Steamers Enjoyed by Tourists to Sweden

Trollhatan Falls, Sweden. Nov. D Climbing mountain in a ship was i the unusual experience Of many Am i crican visitors to the Gothenburg c1- position when they made the trip l over the historic Goeta canal from l Gothenburg to Stockholm. Marine locks in flights of five or l six carry tourist ships through gran ! ito hills from river to lake, until the canal reaches an attitude of more than l 300 feet in the highlands of pictur- esque southern Sweden, and then the ships begin their trip down stairs until they make their way to the level Of the Baltic Sea. and, after q short voyage on the open sea. finally enter lakes again and slip into the back door of Stockholm through fresh water.
 It takes two and half days to make the inland journey of 360 miles from Gothcnburc to Stockholm. The actual canal is only 54 miles long. but 5S locks are passed in avoiding the falls in rivers ascending to the high lakes in the interior.
 Fifty miles of the trip is through the Gocta River. and here at Troll hatan Falls the canal passes around tho celebrated falls which give south ern Sweden much of its electrical power and are the seat of some of its greatest industrial centers. Here is the great plant which supplied the Eolshenist government with 500 loco
 
 motives to Argentina.
 In the early days of the Bolshcvist government. when Lomonsoff was in charge of the effort to rc-equip the Russian railways, Sweden was given a contract for ,0o0 locomotives This plum was danCled before the eyes of other industrial nations by Bolshcyist traders. who icered at them for their failure to recognize Russia and sharc in tho great profits promised from participation in its rehabilitation. Tho Swcdas insisted on having gold in ad- vance on the locomotive order. Five hundred were finally completed and delivered. Then the work stopped al- though the Swedish manufacturers still had Russian money which had been advanced for materials The Swedes altered the plans for the locomotives 10 meet the needs Of the Argentine railways, and are today carrying on a lively business with the South American republic which has enabled tho manufactures to return to Russia it's advances on cancelled orders.
 The Goeta Canal was originally be- gun in 1880. when the Trolhatan Falls were successfully locked.

MICH. MODEL TOWN
 SOLD ID HENRY FORD
Highest Rent Is $i a Month,
 Water at Cost

L'Anse. Mich. Nov. 2.-Pcquaming, nine miles to the north of Tanse Is Henry Ford $ town. The highest rent there is S1 a month, electric light and water are furnished at cost, the doctors bill is never more than Sl.50 a month, and fuel famincs are un- known.
 The Detroit automobile manufac- turer acquired possession of Pequam- ing recently from Charles Hebard and Sons, Inc, pioneer lumbermen of the peninsula.
 When the town was built in 1877 the owners set about to make it something different from other lum- Der towns. They wanted q cornmun- ity of comfortable homes aud happy, contented workmcn. They seemed to think more Of the welfare of their employees than they did of the profits Of their enterprise
 There arc 105 cottages for the workmen. two churches-~onc Protes- tant and one Catholic--an amusement hall, q school clubhouse, a water works and electric lighting plant, a telephone system, a general store where all residents shop, and pub lic playground and park.
 Each workman pays the same rent -sl a month. lie need never worry about coal, for he burns none. In- stead he stufIs his big stove with hardwood from the cOmpany's forests, paying St.75 for large wagonload barely the cost of cutting and de- lNerius. X doctor administers to the ills Of the community at a charge of S1.5O month.
 The beauty of Pequamns has won frequent comment from tourists. The streets arc well shaded, the houses afr of }arvmg types, and thcro is d garden wtrA ,.crg house. Purchase of tho town gNcs Mr. Forl owncr- ship uf i'numlUS~ only industry, thu saw uuu property Of tho Hchard corporation, This includes largo saw mIN, jath and shnE,c mills. and sa.000 acres Of land containing 4oO.- oeo,0o0 feet of standing timber.
 The saw mill is the third purchased by Ford since his invasion of the Upper Peninsula two years ago. The first was at Iron Mountain, now fast becoming an industrial center of the 1ppcr Peninsula, and the second was at L'Ansc.
 The FcQnaming purchase makes thu Detroit manufacturer the largest single taxpayer in Earuga. He will bay about three-fourths of the taxes ut the entire county.
 MT Ford has not announced what policy hc will follow at Pequaminr, or whether he will continue the Hcbard program that has made Pc- quamiHs A model town.
