The Norse-American Centennia • To the Editor of The Tribune: In re the, Norse-American celeb\;a• tion, it seems that in June there is going to be a history-making celebra­ tion at the fair grounds tor the Twin Cities and the rest of the state In gen• el'al. But why tell us and the rest of \ the world at all, when it is heralded in such a half-way manner. The St. Paul As­ sociation and Minneapolis Civic & Com­ I merce association ought to grasp more 1 at the meaning of this exposition and 1 continental celebration, I don't 1·ecall one celebration, during my 24 years of Min• neapolis residence, that bids to come anywhere near the size and importance o! the coming affair. All the more reason why we should sit up and take notice. This is going to prove a splen­ did way to advertise the advantages and beauty of our cities and lakes If we only take advantage ot the oppor­ tunity. What ls more beautiful than our state dressed up in her June frock. Why 11ot get the railroads interested? V,'e probably all have noticed bow they advertise other states In the leading 1 magazines. If the Civic & Commerce association, the Greater Minneapolis I committee, the Greater St, Paul com­ I mittee, and, even this newspaper would wake up and take notice of the many opportunities offered !n the coming celebration, ,ve might malte a national as well as a local success out of lt.­ I Cal'l Beri;;, R,�nvnte 71\lrlnn.T Parml!T' _!HURSDAY, -�:.': •. ·'One of the biR" t:tring5 as an advertisinl! stunt for Minne-I sota is the coming Norse-- f American Centennial which will be pulled off at the S�ate Fair vrounds next month.

From all points of the compass the celebrants are coming, and al­ ready n1any of them have left the Eu ropean ports for St. Paul. This would see m to be a good ti � e for the people of Minnesota to do so me talking for the benefit of visitors. It is without q uestion an opport un ity for us to let them know what Minnesota bas, and what a great state it is. It is on such occasions that the Californians get i n their deadliest work; nothing pleases them more than to corner visitors and regale them with their state's wonders. Compared with t h e wond ers of Minnesota, California hasn't any. For every asset claimed by Calif­ ornia, Minnesota can claim five, and make the claim stick. But California has been exploited and M i nnesota hasn't. There is the ru� and the difference. Millions of California dollars--tourists' dol­ lars, by the way-have gone to tell the world all about the West coast, to bring more tourists to it, and each dollar has paid returns. I Minnesota is approach ing the day when it will be exploi ted . In the mean while, suoh an event as the Norse-Ame rican centenary is to be grasped by Minnesotans to convince their guests that right here indeed is one of the world's wonde r spots. �r,...a (Minn.1 loum? THU RSDAY. JUNE 4. 1925 NORSE-AMERICAN CENTENNIAL. The.

Since that tim e th o u sands of that nati on ­ ality hav e e migrated to the United States an d t oday there are more Nor­ w e gians and descendants of Norweg- , tans in th e United State s than are t o be found- in their mother c ountry. Th e s e peopl e hav e figured pr ominent­ ly in th e pioneer life o f the entire N orthwest and it is only fit and prop. er that thi s great c e lebration i,h o uld be held in Minnesota . It is es timated that at l east 1 0 0 ,0 0 0 people will participate and be i n attendanc e at t h e s e festiviti es . Pre sident Coolidge, Secretary of State Kellogg , high officials from Norway and the governors of at lea s t six state s will be present. There never wa s pres ented a bet­ te r o pportunity t o advertise thi s state than that which i s offered at this meeting . With thousands .o f pe ople i.nterested in agriculture com­ ing f rom practically all parts of the United States and Canada, re.s idents of this state s hould not overlook this opportunity to show these visi­ t ors what great inducements Minne­ sota has to offer it s pro spectiv e .s et ­ tlers.

Th e peo ple of oth er states have in th e past taken f ull advantag e .o f opportunities lik e the on e n ow pre sented to the pe ople- o f this stat e and much has been ac­ co mplished by them in the upbuild­ ing of their c ommunities . For the purpo s e of calling our I visitors ' attention to th e resources .o f \ th e North Star state, $ 1 0,0 0 0 wa s appropriated at the las t se ssion of th e legi s lature and a v ery attractiv e state exhibit is b eing arranged .in th e El ectrical Building on the s tate fair gro unds. Pe ople interes ted in th e development of Minne s ota s h ould mak e it a po int to bring this exhibit to the attention of peopl e coming from o ther states and Canada.

I The throngs of men and women of l.orweglan birth or descent, expected to gather at the state fe.lr grounds .Tune 6 to 9, in celebration of the Norse­ American Centennial, will be augment• , ed by more than 22, 0 00 delegates to , the annual conventions of 24 "Bygde• lags" or organizations of Norwegians I from districts of Norway. These groups already Vtve decided to hold their 1925 gatherings in the Twin Cities, in con­ junction with the great Centennial, "'hich is to celebrate the one-hundredth anniversary of the entrance of Nor­ ;wegian people Into the life of America. In announcing the coming o:C the "Bygdelags" during Centennial week, Ogden.A. Confer, chairman o:C the con­ ventions and publicity bureau of the .,r,nnea.p0:is c; ic & Comllle1' 'lo a,-.;so ·>1.­ tion, explained that nther groups also are expected to select the Twin Cities for their meeting places, next J ,me, and to add their delegations to the crowds taking part in the mammoth celebration. Preliminary estimates place the total attendance at the Norse­ American Centennial p.t close to the 10 0,000 mark, according to S. H. Hol­ Etad, president of the S. H. Holstad & Co. of Minneapolis and second vice president of the centennial organiza­ tion. The Norwegian Lutheran Church of 'America will hold its 1925 general con­ clave in Minneapolis, in conjunction "'ith the anniversary celebration. Its accredited delegates are expected to number nearly 1,500 . The Young Representing a _Norwegian Each, Community, to Talk of Days Spent in Homeland Tender hea1 ts and open purses •Jf thousand of good Americans ,who once were Norwegians, have sent $1 0 , 000back to care for the aged and needy of their "bygde " in Norway, or $15,000 to establish a home for the aged, or $13,000 to buy a new lifeboat so the rockstrewn fjords of their childhood homes might be protected. An<l friends have been establi shed to put an organ in the church back '­ home, and to provide facilities for vic. s tims of tuber culos is and Norwegian sent have s egian Norw and sons of other meme ntoes of their regard t o their relatives and friends of Norw ay. All this and more has been the quiet work of years in more than 3 0 "by­ gdelags" which have sprung up in AmeTica in the last 25 yea1·s so that from me'J). and women who once came to No�-way can meet now and then lived hey when clays � the t� over ity. frr'the sam e littl e commun All to Meet at Ccutc!mial vari­ T11e:v have met annu ally, these miglit ous "lag s", or "clan s", as they one o; be calle d.

I -� Bydelags New Idea Although these Norsemen come from valleys and fj ords and moun­ tains of N.orway, where settlements were established before the time of Leif Ericsson, the Bygdelag idea is a new development, to bring Americans into touch with the days of old. lt reaaly started when, in 1899, a meet­ ing was caliecl at Minnehaha Falls, and a "stevne" f01·med. Two yeats later, at Como park, the first "sam­ band," the Vardris-Sambanclet, was oTganized, and from this beginning all the others have been formed.

Each "lag" repres An The Mjosenlaget, named after the largest lake in Norway, debated what might be done to commemot·ate its fiftieth annivel'.'sary this year. Other "lags'• discussed simllar mat-. ters and all listened to musical pro­ grams-no Norwegian meeting is com­ plete without classical music-in some cases on the traditional hardengerviolin, or :fiddle with eight strings. All talk�d �ver the beauties of the "pygd," or d1str1ct, from which their particular group came, all emphasized the superi­ ority of the scenery. the excellence of the cooking and the diligence and fru­ gaJ!ty of the housewives over all the rest of Norway. Yet in every case this sentimental at­ ta<lhment to a country which many of the members of the "lags" have never even seen was made subordinate to the expression of pride over what Noi-­ weglans have accomplished in Amer­ ica.

Walsh, (Unile<l Pr<'s!S St aff Cor1•p,spond0nt ) St. Paul, Mi nn., June 8.-President Coolidge's proverbial luck today brot lower temperatures and promises of ideal conditions for the whirlwind day mapped out for him. The suffocating heat which hung over the northwest even to last night was swept away during the night by thunder storms and sent the thermometer tumbling from 90 to 70 degrees. The change was welcome to every one, not in the least to President Coolidge, who faces a day packed with honor entertain­ ments that two great cities proud of having him with them can devise. The only disappointment for the day was the cancellation of the trip of the Naval Dirigible Los Angeles to the No1·thwest. More than 5,000 peo­ ple gathered at the air port when the great craft was due to arrive, reful'(­ ing to believe the report that it had turned back. President and Mrs. ,Coolidge slept under blankets at the home of Secre­ tary of State Kellogg, but were up early to tackle the heavy program be­ fore them. The president opened the day with a reception of the members of the Norse-America C:ai�iur:ra:i celebra­ tion. 'Re wi11 deliver the address at the state fair grounds this afternoon. Students Call On Mrs. Coolidge Mrs. Coolidge will receive a number of students of the University of Min­ nesota, members of her college soror­ ity, who will present her with a ban­ ner of the order's colors. Several conferences with state re­ publican leaders at the Kellogg home is on the schedule at 11 o'clock for the president. Shortly after 11 o'clock he will leave for Minneapolis by motor to attend a luncheon given in his honor by the Centennial comm ittee. The president was not expected to speak. The climax of the president's day of the Centennial was to come at 2 :30 p. m . at the fair grounds, when the president will deliver the address for which he came here. Amplifiers have been installed and the speech will be broadcasted by W.CCO. Governor Christianson of Minnesota and Secretary of State Kellogg will also speak. The president will drive along the Mississippi river back to the Kellogg home, which concludes the afternoon. Tonight, President and Mrs. Coolidge will attend a public reception at the state capitol and immediately after­ war� theY, will board their special train for the return to Washington. Welcomed By People The Twin Cities welcomed President Coolidge with open arms. The con­ course at the Union Station in St. Paul was jammed with humanity and the entire route from the station to the Kellogg home was crowded with cheering thousands. The city was decked with flags among whi¢h the banner of Norway was prominent. Among t�ose at the st�tion to re­ �eive the presidential · party ' were Prime Minister Mowinckcl of Norway, Bishop Lund of Oslo, Governor . Chris­ :ianson, Mayors Leech and Nelson of Mi nneap.olis and St. Paul respectively, 1n_d a committee of one hundred prom­ inent citizens. The trip from Washington was more ndurable than anticipated. After a f cool night crossing Ohio and Illinois, the president found Wisconsin some­ what warmer, but nothing compared with the hca,t they left behind at the 8a,pitol.

Leaden skies and an intermittent driz• zle this morning followed a sudden oreakup last night of the prolonged heat spell. The cool weather to-day provides relief for the thousanlls of celebrants and adds to their marked . contrast with Mr. Qoolidge's former visit.

"Filled with the Jove of God and supreme regard for His truth and sustained by unflinching faith in the people, these men spread like a bene­ diction over our people and followed them wherever they built theit ho.m es," he said. "They were men of knowledge. Highly educated and finely cultured, either in the best schools. of their . homeland or trained in educational In• stitutions of their adopted fatherland, . they possessed a learning equal to the' best, but filled with the nobler knowl­ edge. They were men of God, deeply religious. Thoroughly trained in the word of God, they came to build the church of Jesus Christ among our countrymen. I "Because they themselves were men I of knowledge, they realized that the I first requisite of the situation was the I education of the people. They started ' with the ch!ldren training them in their catechism, explanation, and the Bible history." T h o usands From N .D.

D. _ Tttetltt�,•Ml@ BM!::•� Deliver i The Cent ·nnial Celebration �om­ memorating che beginning of organ­ ized Norwegian immigration to th'i! United States is an occasion of great rejoicing, not only to the vast multi tudes assembled here, but to milli0t11s of our fellow citizens throughout our country. Recognized everywhere as a representative of a vigorous, virtu- ' ous, religiorus and liberty-loving r:1ce, the Norwegian immigrant is an ele­ ment of strength and stability in a country of fr.ee institutions, and that is the main reason why this occasion is one of universal jubilee. In order to understand the wol!lder­ ful achievements of the people of Norwegian descent in this country, it is necessary to look at the cradle of liberty from which they have �prung. In r.<:!spect to race and culture the in ­ habitants Norway have been, in the main, a homogeneous people for three thousand years. The basic in­ dustries of griculture, cattle raising, luw , · ,,g-, and the fisheries, together with' ::n nh1g and maritine enterprises, havr ten lea to make the Norwegian ·it, (boude) industrious, frugal, 1 P" h ,)v;Pf and courageous, with a s· _ �aning tn law and order to 1;.,.. liberty, and to economic inpl . dep_i1d '!nce. To own his own home i s a 1!,, �ural craving like hunger and thirst to the average Norwegian. Modest and unassuming to a fault, the Norwegian is known for his hon­ esty to such an extent that the honest Norwegian is an expression as cur­ rent as a proverb amdng the nations of the world. His tact is the ripe fruit of a millennium of social life, and man'y of his customs and habits may be considered as the most per­ fect flowers of civilization. His re­ ligious feelings are s,trong and have been cultivated from childhood. Ten­ der and kind at heart, but outwardly undemonstrative of his affection, the Norwegian boude must be known to be fully appreciated. The Norwegian farmers and laborers ,,,o;f modern times., however, have ha�e weak­ nesses and faults that ha�' taken a century of hard work and wise leader­ shio to .eliminate. An inherent ten­ de�cy to overestimate the value of imp0rtan<'e of things foreign anc' <iis­ tant and to be slow to recognize the capacity and merit a t home, is a pecu1 liar trait of character that has been very harmful to old Norway, and is, I suppose, a scar remaining of a wound cut deeper than the flesh dur­ ing the centuries Norwa'Y suffered under Danish domination. cu �T he Norwe<Yians have· been said to farm, the value of which was Hkely ] be a natio!Ji of lawyers.

Owing to th e great distance be­ tween Norway and t he states of the middle weSt, it took from four to eight years to1 round out th e fir5t Norwegian settlements in t h i s country. The me ans of travel were crude and primitiv.e and entailed a great deal of discomfort and frequently much suffering on th e immi­ grants. The average time for cros­ sing the Atlantic was seven weeks. The time consumed in making th e dis­ tance from New Yor@ to Alhany, and thence for 363 miles by canal boat to Buffalo, and finally from Buffalo by way of the Great Lakes to Mii­ waukee or - Chicago, tOIOk as many weeks a s it takes days now to make the s ame distanc.e. The immigrants in those early days, furnished their 'own fo od, and th ey were instructed t o lay in a stock of provisions for a t least twelve weeks. The cost of pas­ sage across the oc-ean was about $35. 00 , that from the seaboard to the upper Mississippi, abo.ut the sa me. Spea kers an d wn·ters have often led us to believe th at the first Nor­ wegian immigrants were very poor. This is not correct. Many of tflem wer_e . men of means1 wh o wer� m a position not 0n!y to meet their own expenses on a Journey of four thousand. miles and to pay .for some of uin th eir farms, but th e improvemen ts n also to give financial assistance to so�e of t heir friends, and neighbors. This . doe � not mean, of co�rse ,that th e immigrants were wealthy. Two o<r three _ years would naturally ex­ haust _ their resources a nd leave t hem poor md�ed . The trial s of the fi:st settlers wei:e such as to test all their powers. Their isolation, t heir poverty, their trials in clearing and breaking the land, sickness, epidemics and pestilence pressed upon them from every side and made them feel that the laying of the foundations of civilization in a wil­ derness is strenuous work indeed. It is very important to note the cost of the necessities of life, as well a s t1!-e wagE;s paid in Illinois and Wi s consm durmg . th e .early d ays of t he 1I Norw�gian settlements. We have a reco!I'd fro m tli e year 1838 which is · reliable and illuminating. The gov­ ernment sold land at $1 . 25 an acre. Most of the Norwegian settlers bought from forty to eighty acres, some • few a quarter section. Wate r, timber and meadow land were the prime requisites. A h qrse cost from fifty to a hundr,ed dollars, a yoke of oxen, sixty to eighty. A milk cow with c alf, sixteen to twenty ; a s heep, two or three · hogs six to ten d�lars a h ead ; por k thr� to five cents a pound, butter six to twelve, a barrel of fl our, eight to ten dollars, a b ar­ rel of potatoes, one dollar, a pound of coffee, tw.enty cents·, a barrel of salt, five dollars. Wisconsin being on the very frontier at the time , pric es there were prob ably twice as high as those just stated. Wages p aid for common laboir in th e settlements did not average more than fifty cents a day, and were often paid by giving the laborer a bushel of wheat. , As most of the early settlements were from sixty to a hundred miles wesrt of Chicago and Milwaukee, the h aul­ ing of produce to market over the marshy prairie, no roads or bridges having b,e en built, wa s a matter of great difficulty.

The motor busses due to leave Fargo t h is afternon at 6: 10 will be held until 6: 30 in order to accommodate the many passengers who have come In fl-om stations be­ tween I<,argo and Lisbon. Because of the heayy schedule of three programs In two days, arrang­ ed for the singers in Fargo and Moorhead, no official entertaining has been planned.

And It was fitting that it should be acted 'by sons and ! daughters and grandsons and grand- . daughters of those early settlers. From a list that embraces hundreds of -persons, it is impossible to recall many individual performances. Yet a word of praise should go to Mrs. Sanna Groseth for her sturdy :pioneer m other, to little Rolf Haugen for his youthful Hans, to Carl Waag for Harold, T. T.

The memory of Knute Nelson was kept alive by the i mpersonat ion of· the fa­ h10us senator ¥ a �,oung corporal in the Civil war times lby Colonel E. E. John.son . Ole Bull was acted by Eip.ar Larsen and Rev. Mr, Clausen 'by A. C. Erdahl. I Numerous Dances Produced The stotry of the pageant had been arranged to permit the logical intro­ duction of numerous dances and these l were given by various .g-roups. Most o f the scenes were acted on t h e race track j directly in front of the central portiop ' of the gran dstand while the folk lore 1 t11,les were presented on the platforms f at each side of the speaker's stand. Such a pageant is an enormous un­ cte·rtaking. In addition to John Grn­ seth, g1:meral chairman, the committee induded Miss Elisa Farseth, Carl Han­ sen, L. ·stavnheim, Mrs. William 0. ' Storlie, Mrs. Nils Juell and Mrs. T. V. , Thomen. Willard Dillman, the author, also acted as general di rec tor ; Thomas Russell was the assistant director and in charge of the hundreds of propei·ties l\Sed ; Cecilia Donlin directed the drills ; ,James Shillok, the lights : Agnes Both11e planned ,the musi c ; and Captajn Bis­ i,enette the battle effects. l . Stirring Music Played Throughout the everi1ng stirring urn­ i;!c was furnished by the Luther Col­ lege band with Carlo Sperati as direc­ tor. Before the pageant started an , interesting exhibition of vaulting, pyra­ mid building and balancing was given by a band of youthful athletes and a. '. d rill was offered by the Daughters of , Norway whose smart costumes· of white, with red trimmings, produced a capital color effect. Lavish use of the Norwegian and American flags throug·hout the pageant added to the g·eneral picturesqueness. Here was a pageant in which �mbol­ !sm was sutordinated to story save as the itecount of the gallant Heg's-live served as symbol of the life of the av­ erage Norse pioneer.

The curio collectors have been la­ poring diligently for many weeks, and now that their work is complet­ e'd, they have a perfect right to feel that they have carried on a difficut task and accomplished it well. We cannot give space to the pub­ lication of all the interesting curios that have been secured, but shall tell of some of them. Among those sent in are : A snuff box 100 years old ; powder horn 132 years old ; drinking cup 126 years old ; wedding shawl 100 years old ; weaving scarf, hand made, 80 years old ; linen thread fro m the ,old country, 90 years old ; tray holder embroicieTed on felt ; slire kniv med slire av mess­ ing, 150 years old ; laas av messing 200 years old ; ornament made of hair ; knitted bed spread ; brudeplag ifra selbu made of home-spun and wovie'n linen with drawn work bor­ der, 150 years old ; silver pin ; solv svamphus 150 years old ; embroider­ ed table spread of felt, folv fiske spade fra Norge ; old leather pocket book from Norway ; high brass can­ dlestick ; handcarved brass top for small handbag with date it was made, 1750, ,e•ngraved ; black figured "dilke torklaede" with fringe ; home woven linen tablecloth 1 0 0 years old ; faestapige torklaede av sile 1 5 0 years old ; hand carved wooden box 1 150 years old ; embroidered tapestry from Norway ; solje used on under­ 1 wear "saerke solje" from Selbu, Nor­ way ; sukker sax ; cream spoon made in 1760 in Norway and later perfor­ ated and use d for sugar ; pipe 1 0 0 y;e1ars old.
