Minneapolis Tribune: Among the emi-
grants gathered at the Union Depot emf
grant room were two little girls, who, for
the past few weeks. have had unique
experience. They came over on the
Thingvalla steamship Island, the ship
which has just got through quarantine
with difficulty, and are from. Southern
Sweden. One is 12 years old and, the
other is II. They ,are as pretty as pair
of blondes as one rarely; sees. The odd
thing about them is that theyi are travel
ing the whole distance from their Scan
dinavian home to ;.their destination in
North Dakota, distance of between 5000
and 1000 miles alone. Each has little
tag hung about her neck, one bearing;
"Hilda Sorensen. No. G. Washburn, N. D..
and the other tag gives the name Freda
Sorensen. They are thus checked through
to their destination, and from the time
left home have been completely in charge
of the agents of the Thingvalla Steamship
Line. They looked rather sad and lone
some and will doubles be glad enough
when they finish their long journey and
with their parents in North Dakota.
The above mentioned little girls arrived
at Washburn yesterday evening. all o. X.
They are relatives of Nils G. Peterson of
Buffalo CoOlee.
