THE KNIGHTH00D OF
THE ORDER OF WASA
co>rEKREp on AUGUST PETERSON
MashinGtOpian HoEoFrd by the
King of NorWny and sweden in
Tie Land of His Adoption.

Scandinavian papers announce that His
has conferred upon August Peterson,
citizen of Washington, the Knighthood Of
the Order of Wasa. This order is one of
the oldest in Sweden
On ascending the throne of Sweden in
1172 Gustavus I'll Instituted the Order of
Wasa, in the name and in the memory
of his ancestor. Gustavus Wasa ]. the lib
orator of Sweden from the Danish yoke
under Christian the Tyrant.
The word wasa signifies in Swedish a
sheaf. and the royal family carries sheaf
on its arms.
Gustavus III designed this order 10 rec
ompense such persons as have rendered
specially distinguished services to his
country. The king alone is grand master.
bur he cannot abolish the order. He
names the members after having. on the
day of his coronation. sworn To observe
the existing statutes. If king al his ae-
cession does not possess the Order of
Wasa he receives ii from the Archbishop
of Upsala. There are three classes: The
Grand Crosses, consisting OF six, the Com
manders of eight and the knights of fifty
members.
The insignia of the order are an oval
gold medallion united fiexibly to golden
crown, enameled red and having in the
center a gold sheaf, bound by a gold rib
bon, around which Is the inscription in
Swedish: "Gusrayus III instituted this
order in 17I2.''
The decoration, suspended from green
ribbon is carried by the Grand Crosses
and Commanders on n sheaf from right to
left The knights have the decoration
suspended from the neck. The decoration
and the honor is rarely conferred outside
of Sweden, and in the United States but
two or three are known to have been
granted.
Mr. Peterson is an old and highly re-
spected citizen of Washington. having
resided here nearly thirty years. During
his first few years in this country he was
connected with the Kansas Pacific Rail-
road along the line of which he located
several prosperous Scandinavian colonies.
He was subsequently closely identified
with the land department of the North
ern Pacific Railroad. He made several
trips to Europe, establishing and locating
railroad AMI steam ;hip connections in the
principal cities of the old world to faCil-
tate the settlements along the line of the
company. \ trip to Southern Russian
resulted in the formation of one of the
most important colonies in the North
west-that of the Mennonites-some of
whom were also located in Kansas about
the same time.
On his arrival in Washington he was
for few years employed in the Treasury
Department, after which he entered into
the practice of patent law, in which he
has since been actively engaged. Mr. Pc
terson is also an active member of the
various associations for the advancement
| of the city's interests and welfare, as well
| as a devoted friend of the Masonic fra
ternity. He received also some years ago
| from his native government the appoint
| ment as consul of Sweden and Norway
and it is chiefly owing to his efficient
services in this capacity that this distinc-
| ton and honor have been conferred
