we should be conservative and care
ful in expenditures yet not to the

bring valuable returns and that the

would Invest his own funds. -Taxpayer

TORNEO. RUSSIA, Dec. SI.
j (Correspondence of . The Associated
JPress): The Torneo river Is frozen
Lover again and business is good In
smugglers' haven. From far np In
the arctic tundra or Lapland 'down
to Ice-filled Torneo bay, thirty miles
south of the circle, sledges drawn
by reindeer, dogs and ponies are
crunching across the river by night,
laden to the runners with tea. cof-
irtee, rubber and sugar, all bound for
Sweden, where they are worth almost
fthelr weight In gold.
. . Their sources are Russia and Fin
land, and their immediate destina
tion Haparanda; on the Swedish side
of the Torneo river, where ex-sailors,
hotel waiters and a typical col-
lecuon or ironuer town types are
making money, hand over fist and
Prinking champagne for breakfast.
Haparanda Is Swedish, as differ
ent from war distracted-and revolu
tion-ridden Russian Torneo as if it
were hundreds- of -miles away, in
stead of being separated only by a
jten minute sleigh-ride, in winter
and a ten-minute ferry trip In sum
mer, across the mile-wide, -salmon-filled
river. Haparanda Is the Daw
son of the new Klondike, and Its
gold come from sledges that slip by
the Russian frostier guards, full of
the commodities weden needs. It
Is nearly Arctic, and, now. In tho
neart or 'Winter, there is daylight
only five hours. The town doesn't
awaken until ten ln the morning.

War Make Torneo Rival.'
Before the war, Haparanda .was a
tiny village, a frontier customs post.
The' Russian frontier gendarmes
were vigilant and those, who slipped
through from Finland smuggieagoo
through from Finland with smug
gled goods wet a few and far between
and there was less incentive to amug
gle. for 8 wed en Imported freely from
serosa th seas. The war maae Tor
neo the rival of Archangel and Vlad
ivostok as a port of entry Into Rus
sia.' k Haparanda shared tne gain.
Business buildings of wood, And; a
large hotel that looks like a typical
American small town hall sprang np
almost over-night.; It is still grow
ing. 1 . ' ; j - :
The coose that lays the goiaen
eeg that buys the wine and keeps
the poker games rolng live over In
Finland,- which, although short cf
food itself, permits millions 01 Kron
er worth to slip through every
month.
A year ago" a Swedish preacher, on
n innocent mission, was shot by a
Russian frontier guard. The trouble
that resulted led to almost complete
laTltr at the frontier and now, on
any dark night, scores of sleighs slip
ateross the river, unmoiesiea, ana
deposit their cargoes on the Swedish
irf- Rome of the goods go through
the iSwedlrti customs houses, and
the duty Is 1 paid.' Even with the
Swedish duty, there is tremendous
profit on the shipments.
Coffee that the Finnish agents se
cure for ten kroner a kilo (2.20
pounds) brings twenty across the
frontier. Small boys, muffled in
great overcoats waddle across the
river on sklis with rubber tires for
automobiles wrapped around their
waists and rubber is the most dif
ficult of all commercial products to
obtain In Sweden. Its export from
Russia is forbidden.
Rraugxlen Richest of AIL
The smugglers are the richest, but
Haparanda's "gay white way" the
hotel, is filled always with other
spenders. There are German agents
the . German consul always has a
k"party" at his table. Haparanda is
the spit where mvaua prisoners are
exchanged, through the agency of
Swedish Red Cross workers, and has
Tor months been the only place where
Russia was in .free contact with
Europe. Hence the Germans.
Here is a typical picture of any
night In Haparanda when business is
good on the Torneo. The coffee room
Is crowded earl. A Serbian "kap
pelmetster" tunes up his violin. A
oung Austrian with a. base viol and
three plump smiling German girls,
with mandolins, the rest of the or
chestra, play American rag-time.
Swedish barmaids hurry about with
champs cne and other wines Just as
expensive. j ,
A young Swede with a blank
looking face, who has Just made ten
thousand kroner on a coTTee deal,
spending It. buying for everyone
who "will accept. At a corner table,
tipsy but dignified, a group of Swed
ish officers stiffly reject suchamll
iarity. At the other tables are Rus
sian officers, In civilian clothes, who
have slipped acrqss from prohibition
Torneo to make a night of it. Finnish
smugglers, over for tbesame purpose,
and perhaps a dozen Englishmen,
Americans or Frenchmen, Just es
caped from Russia's troubles and
