scAND1NAv1ANs IN THE UNITED STATES.


Undoubtedly the scandinavian element
in the United States has never been prop
erly appreciated, either for its great num-
bers or for its enrichment of our national
character, by its sterling virtues of cour-
age, fortitude. industry, honesty and mo-
rality Prof. o. n. Nelson, of Minneap-
oils, the author of a most excellent and
exhaustive work on the American Scan
dinavians, has been carefully analysing
the census returns, and says:
Until 10 years ago no satisfactory re-
ports were issued in regard to the num-
her of persons born in this country OF
Scandinavian parents, and the census Of
1900 is certainly a mastery attempt in
that direction. This is very gratifying,
because that class of people already out
number the Scandinavian immigrants
themselves; and, although the majority
Of them are still children, yet they exer-
else a vast influence in the Scandinavian
American world, and will IL few years
be the controlling element. 1t appears
that 30I ,913 persons have Danish parents,
although i'll few cases one of the parents
is natiye-born American. But in most
instances it simply means that a person
of Danish birth has married a person
born in this country of Danish parents.
Their children, therefore, have one Dan
ish and one native parent, but in reality
these children are of purely Danish ex-
traction. The same, of course, is true OF
the Norwegians and Swedes, of whom
there are 7S1 ,0S9 and 2.0S3,5 respect
lively. Besides, there are 30, go persons in
this country who have one Danish parent
and one parent born in some other cOun-
try outside of the United States. OF this
class Of people there are G9,293 of Nor
wegian mixture and 9O,16S of Swedish.
Consequently the total number of persons
having one or both parents Danish is 1884,
16S; and the people of Norwegian and
Swedish extraction number S56,3S2 and
,1I3, 755, respectively. Granting that the
census enumerators have omitted some
people, the total population OF Danish
birth and extraction may be put at about
450, 900, the Norwegian at 100000, and
the Swedish at nearly 100000. Except
ing the Germans, Irish and English, the
Scandinavians are today the most numer-
GUS Of all the various elements of for
eign extraction in this country. numbering
about 100000, or One-twenty-ffth of the
total population Of the United States.

G. II. BROCK and % other veterans of
Marshall Co, Iowa. have recently won n
suit Of much interest to veterans. 1t Gp-
pears that in 1862 the Supervisors of the
County levied a special tax TO pay boun-
ties to those that should enlist. These
bounties were paid TO a large number; but
the compliments were not aware of the
bounty when they enlisted. and did not
learn OF it until 4 year or so ago. Then
they were told that the unexpended bal
ance of the funds, 500-hnd years ago
been turned into the general fund. and the
bounty fund had ceased to exist, so that
there was nothing with which to pay
them. They brought suit to recover the
sums due them, and the Judge has decided
that they must be paid, the Supervisors
having no right TO turn money raised for
II special purpose into the general fund.

A Welcome Visitor.

We have received a number OF
letters of appreciation from persons
who have loved ones in this part OF
Alaska, who have been thought
full enough to have the PRospEcToR
sent to their friends. We pub
lish herewith a letter that we great
ly appreciate and are much graft
fled to know that the PRosrEcroR
is welcome visitor.
Editor OF PRosPEcToR:
AS in all times of danger the
men have the work and the women
the weary waiting, so in the dcvel-
opment of Alaska'S great resources.
the ones left at home must feel the
anxiety and loneliness.
Back in old Missouri" there is
another home, that. like Mrs.
Robeson's. is gladdcned by the reg
ular appearance of the energetic
PROsPEcToR. Just how eagerly
its columns are scanned, only those
who have dear ones i'm Alaska can
know.
l want to offer the PROspECroR
my best wishes for the increase of
its circulation, both because we
value the paper and because wish
the lot of all the stay-at-homes
made as bright as possible.
Yours very truly,
Mrs. II. S. Leavell,
New Florence, Mo.
