young ladies, Miss Thora Hanson who
has been staying up here most of the
summer. But Pete is not likely to re-
turn until he brings another girl to fill
the vacancy.
The Thorfinnson Bros, and also John
Bergo and Bockstad. will start up their
threshing outfits for good, this week.
The Thortinnson boys have hired some
of the choicest old threshing hands from
the Valley. most of whom will be able to
show the rest of threshers up here how
to handle the sheaves.
The farmers have finished the cutting
of barley, oats and wheat in this neigh
borhood and some have begun cutting
flax. Wheat promises to yield more than
was expected some time ago. Some will
go as high as % bushels to the acre. or
more. Late flax also promises better
yield than was figured on, if frost keeps
away.
MIR. and Mrs. Sigurdson have just left
here for Edinburg where they intend to
make their future home. Mr. Sigurdson
calculates to put up feed mill in Edin-
burg to be run by gasoline power. We
are all sorry to see Mr.. and Mrs. Sigurd-
son leave our midst. but it isone of those
things that cannot be helped.
Mr. P. d. Waldi is having Il neat dwell
ling house erected: the work being done
by Svcinson and Thortinnson. The size
of the building is 24x24 with IL foot
posts. Henry Dickman has erected a
nice dwelling on his farm formerly owned
by Joe Biornson. Jacob Fair has built
a nice house on his eighty acres pur-
chased from FIR. Lavotzki.
On the evening of the 18th inst,
surprise was given to Mr.. and Mrs. Born
son by the gathering of all the Icelanders,
from Gordon and Henderson, at their
home, and presenting them with hand
some bureau. After little neighborly
chat. and the setting up of the bureau
the whole party including Mr.. and Mrs.
Bjornson and family drove over to Thor
fnnson Bros, granary which had been
previously engaged by the leaders ofthe
surprise party, Misses Maggie Indrida-
son and Thora Thorarinson. A neat
little program was listened to, consist
ing of Rotations, dialogues and singing
by little folks, between the ages of six
and eleven years, who had evidently
been remarkably we'll trained by Miss
Indridason, and would have done credit
to far larger assembly. 1t is safe to
FAY that some of the common school
teachers would do well to take lesson
from Miss Indridason, in the training and
management of the children. Besides
the program mentioned, a few old fashion
ed games were enjoyed by all present,
young and old alike. Tn. Thorfnnson
managed to fill the stops by instrumental
and vocal music, and comical recitations,
through the Berliner gramophone. At
late hour delicious supper was par
taken of, including ice cream and other
delicacies. which proved the before
mentioned young ladies' ability in that
line also. On the whole everybody had
good time, which in itself. was sur
prise. considering all disadvantages in
this out of the way place. The program
was all in the American language.
