This huge Zeppelin can be classed without exaggeration as one or the wonders of the world. Its trip to th� Twin Cities in June. on order of Secretary Wilbur of the Navy department, will give the people of the Northwest their first onportunity to see a modern dirigible in action. Present plans call for the Los Angeles to fly to St. Paul from Chicago on the day President Coolidge arrives here for the Centennial. The Zep­ pelin will circle over the Twin Cities ror the day. and then return to Chicago as there are no facilities here tor mooring it. While in the air here the ship wUI be visible for miles around the Twin Cities. lt is expected to make its nearest approach to earth at the State }!'air grounds in St. Paul when President Coolidge gives his address to the Centennial throngs. The Los Angeles, formerly known as the ZR-3, was built at the Zeppelln plant at Friedrichsha(en, Germany, and flown across the Atlantic ocean to the United States in the fall of 1924. In this flight it covered 5,006 miles without landing, a. world's record. The trip took 81 hours.

I �LOS ANGELES TO REACH CITY DAY COOLIDGE IS HERE Navy Sending Expert to Arrange Landing of Dirigible. The airship Los Angeles will be at the State Fair grounds on Monday, June 8, the day that President Coolidge addresses visit.ors to the Norse-Amer• jean centennial' celebration, according to an Associated Press dispatch Wednesday Irom Washin&·ton. On Sunday night, .June 7, the big craft will leave its rnooril1gs at Lakehurst, N. J'. , and head westward.

Advices from v'\T.ashington, received by Lieutenant Colonel E. M. Norton, acting commandant at F'ort Snelling, were to the effect that the Los Angeles wlll make a landi,ng in the Twi n Cities. Heretofora it had been anticipated that a landing would not be attempted be• cause of lack of pt·eparations for it.

When the Lo s Angeles was first promised to visit the Northwest it was thought improbable that any landin,g attempt-s would be made ow­ ing to the lack of a mooring mast and the short space of time in which . to construct one.

Representations were made, how­ e 1rer, urging that the sh i:p be landed to permit a closer view of the big· si., ter of the Shenandoah, and It t.s thought that the radiogram.

Because of the landing crew to b e made available here it i s possible that the trips to and from St. Paul will be made at night and t11at the ship will be in St. Paul all day June 9.

There are too man}' other things we stand more in need of than a mooring mast-shoes, for example. Anyway, the Los Angeles is com­ ing. Of that we are assured by the officials at Washington. The giant dirigible will be, as it were, the middle ring of a three-ring flying circus that is to open Saturday and continue for three days at the Wold­ Chamberlain field. There will _be five Martin bomber:3, a fleet of the latest type of United States fighting planes and a unit of navy aces to entertain the crowd3 for two days before the Los Angelea turns its nose northward. Great rtv­ alry between the army and navy fliere has sprouted since the deal was made, with the result that we are looking fo:rwm-d to many a thrill. F'rinstance-there will be what the army men call the "apron string for­ mation," in which three planes, each capable of traveling 200 miles an hour, will be tied together with 01· ­ dinary string that a child could break. Thus connected they will ascend and perform a variety of flip-flops while going at top speed and then return to earth with the string as good as new. Try that i n your hay-mow. Proceeds from the meet will be used to purchase the Wold-Chamber­ lain field }"hich Twin City bustnes,,, men have oeen maintaining for sever-­ al years on a lease.

Captain George Steele of the Los Angeles said that he had found the su·n -usually the best ally of the bii4 dirigible-had so rarified the air through expansion during the days of hot weather that it would hardly • sustain the weight of the airsh ip.

It was most fitting, perhaps, that Premier J.

" Long before the Norsemen came country at the Centennial. There is so eif@'N orse to the United States there were peo­ much in "'Mlliiilbt b L ' and himself that they can well be Canada," in blood Norwegian of 'ple thought of together. Mr. Bracken said. "Canada joins with The New Englanders had their the United States in the closest bond ' Mayflower; the N orweigians, their of friendship in tribute to the Norse- "Restorationen." The New England- sted Quil ers -are a very reserved peo_ple ; the Norwegians almost stolid. In their pursuits they have much in common. Both take life very seriously, finding little pleasure in the excitements that claim the attention of so many of us. 'The rugged hills, the small wood­ fringed meadows, the rocky sea coasts and the -melancholy whale­ paths are familiar to both. They prize culture and disapprove of pom­ pousness. They are deeply religious, yet simple in their beliefs. They are frugal and hard working folk, among whom manual labor is held exalted. They have much in common, so it was fortunate that Calvin Coolidge, who represents to us the rural folk of New England, should have been the honored guest of ,the Norse-Am­ ericans. The Centennial became an occasion for general hand-clasping between peoples and nations. Aside from that, it became an effective means of bringing the President of the United States to the Norwest. The thous­ ands who lined the streets of the Twin Cities for a passing view of a little man who wields the sceptre of the world's most powerful nation testifies to the enthusiasm of the Northwest. It became an impressive tribute. But what is the good of it all. The results are indeed of questionable worth. No one can point out any real gain resultant from the Cen­ tennial, or from any other similar convention. For the Norweigians, of course, it enhances their sense of Nationalism, a feeling that has been too strong before. For the government it brought unnecessary expense. True, the Northwest won universal attention for a day, and the Twin Cities reaped a small harvest in the sudden but passing swell of business. And the celebators are driving home satisfied with the good words so · generously e:icchanged, but benefitted in no material way at all. The results of the Centennial can best be S1lmmed up in a, terse remark made to the writer of the Twiste Quill b� a visitor from y when he said, "I - �lll] Noc -J\merican C entennial Is Observed ONQ�D wi res1 en o t e mte • ates cases of friends who had not met in a half century or more.

The occasion was the 100th anniversary of the sailing of the Norwegian sloop Restaurationen, whkh brought 53 Norwegian immig1·ants to this country ; not the first from the hardy kingdom across the seas, for Norwegian blood was shed in the war of the Revolution in making America free, but the first community band, casting their lot and fortune together, the forerunner of hundreds of thousands of splendid Norsemen who have fol­ lowed in their wake. The Restaurationen deserves n place in history alongside the Mayflower of the Pilgrims and the Welcome of the Quakers. And right fittingly the event was celebrated, the cul­ mination of the centennial being the program at the fair grounds Monday, when President Coolidge praised Norway, the original immigrants and those who, since, have played such an important part in the making of America. I thought,• as I listened to the President and to ives, who had come from the Norw Oslo to St. au and Minneapolis expressly for this event, an<l to the represenffltive OI the Premier of the Dominion of Canada, which country has like­ wise shared in the splendid Norse blood, how proper and fitting it was that such events should be ob­ served. We bring historical events right down to date, so that grownups and children may realize their purport, may understand their every detail. The tears came to my eyes as the youngsters in the stand-alongside the place where the President, Mrs. Coolidge, the Secretary of State and other dignitaries sat-wearing their 1·ed, white and blue dresses and caps changed from o-..e flag to another, tri-colors of international fraternalism and prog­ ress. How their voices rang through the open spaces, testifying to an America made up of the best peoples of all the earth ; none better than those northern European countries to which the grain belt, in partictrlar, owes J:lO much. President Coolidge spoke eloquently and feeling­ ly. I 11ever saw him gesticulate so often or so easily and genuinely.. He· retold the story of the first immigrants ; he traced the movement of peoples from one land to another, from eai·ly times. I never realized before the truth of what the President said : "Man seems to have been, from his beginnings, the most migratory of anima1s." He has, indeed, surpassed the birds in migrating from one land to another; across untraced oceans, ever moving toward the home which he hopes and prays to be better for him and all his kith and kin. President Coolidge gave the Norse nations the honor of having di scovered America, centuries be­ fore Columbus touched that "there was born on American soil a boy who afterwards became so great a mathematician and astronomer that his studies may have contributed much to the fund of knowledge which helped Co­ lumbus formulate his vision of the world as we know it." No wonder that 50,000 people of Norse birth or descent cheered this great tribute to their land and its progressiveness. It was inspiring, also, to hear a Norwegian statesman read a personal message from King Haakon VII to the people born in his land, and to their sons and grandsons, who have helped to make America great and whom the President was honoring ; · and to heat' the member of the Nor wegian Parliament, or Storthing,. bring greetings unanimously adopted by that body ; and to hear resounding Norwegian words which, when trans­ lated, meant not the thunder which they suggested, but the peace and friendship and love which exists between the twci countries. It was inspiring, moreover, to hear the greetings which the represen­ tative of the Premier of Canada delivered, to the remarkable enjoyment of his auditors, being a good speaker, y;itty and resourceful. All in all, it was ·a wonderful occasion, fittingly celebrating a great event in the life of a great people. I hope other peoples will celebrate their anni­ versaries in an equally fitting manner. Many na­ tions have contributed to the making of America and Americans.

'l'he r�eption, however, that was given to President Coolidge arnl Mrs. Coolidge was warm and hearty ,and must have impressed them greatly. I U. S.

In stature President Cool­ idge is small, but his features are strong and clean cut. He is not an orato'r, but his voice is pleasant ) and amplifiers carried it to every part 1 of the grounds. In his splendid act- I dress which the Sheaf published in ! full, he warmly praised the Norwegian , J)eople fot· their valualJ,le contribution to the making of America. . At the close of his aclclress tlle President was heartlily cheered. The Star Spangled Banner, led by Luther College Concert band, was sung before the President's address aud America led by St. Olaf College Baud was sung after the ad­ dress. A novel featu�e was a living flag of school chilclren seated upon n tC'rrnced pla tform and cl ail in colors arrange([ so as to .form first a Nor­ wegian flag nnd then by regrouping forming the U.

The Sunday Services Sunday forenoon was given to divine services at several places on the groumls. But tlle crowds were so large that many could not get within hearing distance of the speakers.

"It is like standing on tlle shore �of an ncean. I am gl ad to bring tic\: ings from the clrni:ch of Nm·way anu from tl1e king as the he-ad of the chur<:11."

'J'he Sunday afternoon program was given before the grand stand in the face of a burning sun. Every seat in the grandstand was filled and thousands occupied the bleechers or stood on the race track in front of the speaker's stancl. There were many speakers at this program, among tl1_em Consul E. H. Hobe, Prof. Gu;le Botbne ; H. Bryn, minister from Nor­ way ; C. J.

Not only in th, n ature of the program which was � I V · en but a lso on account of the exhibits will the hundredth anniversary ol Norse settl ement ill America be long remembered, he said. "The dominant no te in the add ress! es which occupied three fu l l days, was the idealism of the early imm!granti and the fortitude and perseveranc1, and ability that they showed in mak• ing use ,of their opportunities , " Mr. Selvig said . The outsta nding even t of the we1Jk was, of course, Pres ident Coolidge's address which elicited favorable com• men t from all. He was given the clos­ est attention poss ible by the over 80,000 persons through the aid of loud speaking devices which we re in• stalled . Mr. Selvig was greatly im pressed with the cultural exhibit displayed in the fine arts building at the State Fa i r grounds. Here, h e said, was fonnll painting , art work, progress in lit era­ ture, science and medicine and in 11 1 1 -,ranches o f knowledge contributed by I Norsemen in America.

It was indeed interesting and charming to notice how the Nor­ wegians had tilled the soil and built the fine homes alongside the railroad. President Coolidge and Secre­ tary of State Kellogg- praised the Norwegians of this country for what they have added t.o the development of America.

A smal l vessel, a sloop, was purchased, 1·epaired and called "The Resturation." On the 4th day of July 1825, this company of about fifty emigrants sailed out of the harbor of Stavanger, Norway, with their little ve ssel heade<l for N ew York. Most of the passengers were part owners of the sloop and its cargo of iron both of which were to b e sold in New York. Whipped b y Storms i The voyage was long and diffi cult. They took a southerly course and touched a·t Funchal, Made ria. The American consul there was very ae­ commodating and supplied . the emi­ grants with provisions. On Sunday evening, July 31st, they sailed from Maderia, and from then on for ten weeks they were cast about in storm , after storm and were driven south to , the West Indies and info the Gulf ,� Mexico. But in spite of all difficulti,,s I the passengers remained in :.he best of condition, and on Sunday, O ctober 9th, they arrived at New York with one passenger more than they started out with, a daughter, Margaret, hav­ ing been born to Mr. and Mrs. Lars Larson during the voyage. The arrival of "The Resturation" in N ew York attracted much attention and the emigrants were admired for their bravery, but they had violated the l aw by having too many pas- . sengers on board a vessel of that size, about forty tons. The authori­ ties attached both the v essel and car­ go, but there was sympathy for these people, too, as thei r violation of law consisted o f ignorance o f the law of a strange land, and the vessel and cargo was releas ed, and they sold both at considerable loss. Among those who landed from this� sloop we re the above mentione d Lars Larson and wife and daughter, Mar­ garet, Daniel S. Rosdail, wife and five children, and Nels Nelson and wife, Bertha. They proceeded westward to Orl eans county, N. Y., where Cleng Peerson had made arran�ments for them. There they est\l>lt,hed the first permanent Norse set1'fment in the United States,_ call ed th� Ken1al l set­ tlement in Kendall township, near Rochester, New York. Some of the emigrants settled in the c ity of Rochester, among them Lars Larson and family, where th eir daughter, Matha, younger than her sister, Mar­ garet, born on the voyage, b ec ame a schoo l teach er in 1848 and is said to have been the first person of Norse descent to teach in our public schools. Came to LaSalle County Cleng Peerson did not remain many years in the Kendall settlement. His desire for travel and adventure took possession of him and he came west. It is claimed that he was the first Norseman to set foot on the soil west of the Great Lakes. While he was e xp l oring Illinois in 1833 and came to LaSalle county around where Norway and Danway are situated he came to the conclusion that it was an ideal !ocation for a settl e me nt. He hurried back to the Kendall settlement i_n New York and told the settlers of his new discoVE.ry, and in the spring of 1835 he c ame back with a number of settlers from there and founded the Fox Riv er settlement near Ottawa. Among the m were the sloop passengers, Dainel S. Rosedail, wife and children, N�ls Nelson 3:nd w�fe, Be rtha. One of the Roseda1l children was John Rose dail, who was 4 years old when he landed in New York trom the sloop. He was one of the pionee r farm�rs �and stock raisers near Norway.

The senator recalled some Interest­ Ing bits of history about the Norse• me �� -their early conquests in Europe, their colonization of Greenland and Leif Ericson's cli$covery of America. Concerning the party that came here In the sloop in 1825, he ea.id in part as follows: ""\V e are lnformed that half their number ltved In one small log house during tho following winter, and that tl:le. first improvement In tl1elr affai rij was the fol lowing fall, when e:,,ch family harvested about two acres of wheat from their new clearings.

A his­ tory o( , t \o country, wri t.ten fifty-one years l pr by Mr. 'l'horna$, contains the foll'l>•:·ing brief statement: 'Al)out 1�25 a company of Norwegians, about fifty-two in number, settled on the la.ke shore in th e town near Kendall They came from Norwl'!,Y togethe; and took up Ian{] ln a body.

"The Norwegians who came in ttie little sloop In 1925 were neither the first nor the last Norwegian emi­ grants, but the fi rst shipload, or rather, we may say, they were the first who came in a group. lndlvid­ uals had preceded them, <iOme by a hundred years."

SSEMBLY TO PA� UTE TO NORSE Buhop Lunde Wi'tr -'µegl't ITT' Lutheran M eetin i Albion Among celebrations o n a smaller scale commemorating the Norse­ Americ:�"°'iilil/ia��!'>.• .;a nnouncement is made that t h e Koshkonong Lu­ t h eran assembly ,yill hold forth on July 5. at Albion Center, Wis., on the classical and historical site of the former Albion academy, well known and remembered among Nor- , w ' egian-Americans as the school , w here Senator Knute Nelson, Prof. Rasmus Anderson and others re­ ceived their early training. Here, on the beautiful campus which forms the center attraction o f this little rural village, the assembly, a nation­ al-religioqs organization made up o f church people i n the environs of what is known as t h e Koshlrnnong Prairie, the c.radle of a large and scattered constituency of the Nor­ wegian Lutheran Church of Ameri­ ca, has each summer for a number of years been i n the habit o f gather­ ing for a "Homecoming." At t imes th ere have been as many as 4, 0 0 0 visitors t o these meetings, a n d t h e day h as been pleasantly a n d profit­ ably spent i n programs made up of addresses by prominent speak(lrs. vocal and instrumental music, base­ ball games, horseshoe competition, and social intercourse in general. At t h e last assembly, visitors �were re­ ported in attendance even from the Dakotas and Minnesota. A good program may be looked forward to at the forthcoming meet­ ing. Though it is u nusual to assem­ ble on a Sunday, various considera­ tions have this year made it neces­ sary. On this accourtt the sports feature has been omitted, and t h e w h o l e festival w i l l t a k e o n a some­ what different character. The forenoon will be devoted to a u nion religious service under t h e o p e n sky, a t w h i c h t h e visiting Bish ­ op Johan Lunde, from Norway, will preach the sermon. Services i n all Lutheran churches i n the neighbor­ ing communities are cancelled, in or­ d er t o give wide opportunity for an attendance at Albion of notable pro­ portions. It need hardly be said t h at those coming will be privileged to hear a forceful and eloquent speaker, one o f Norway's most pop­ ular and outstanding orators. He will have a message worth hearing. The Spea,J,ers' Committee feels elated at having secured Bishop Lunde for this year's exercises, and has confidence that the audience on July 6 will not in any way be dis­ appointing. Another feature of the day's pro­ gram will be an address by Prof. .J ulius Olson, h ead of t h e Depart­ ment of Norse at University of Wis­ consin, o n the subject, "Our Pio­ n eers, and the Country they came t o." No one who has heard this prominent "son of Koshkonong" and appreciates h is splendid forensic abi lities will doubt t hat under t h e inspiration · of the jubilee year, t h e atmosphere, and the historical set­ t ing and surroundings, Mr. Olson will do his theme just.ice and add a n ew luster to his reputation. Interspersed throughout the pro­ gram t here will be music of a varied nature, particularly singing by a large joint chorus from surrounding churches, un<'er the leadershi p o f t h e Re,·. O.
