The thirtieth anniversary of the plant

The thirtieth anniversary of the plant
ing of Swedish colony in the forests OF
Maine-the beginning of the now pros,
porous town of New Sweden-was cele-
brated Monday. To Hon. Parker P,
Burleigh, then State land agent, now
deceased, and to Hon. W. w. Thomas,
now minister to Sweden, belong the
honor of this successful organization.
The party when they arrived in ARGOS
took county numbered 81 men, women
and children. The Swedish population
of New Sweden and adjoining towns is
estimated at $500. No more thrifty and
intelligent people inhabit any Maine
town than these people of New Sweden.
Their immigration was decided
advantage to Maine and contributed 25OO
to her population thus far to say nothing
of the increase in property value of the
town of New Sweden and other Aroos-
took towns, because of this immigration
scheme of 80 years ago.
