1cELANDIC NATAL DAY.

This day was fittingly observed
yesterday, August 2. A bowery,
speakers platform and dancing
floor we're built near the Ieelandlc
Mercantile Co.'S store for the occa-
sion.
Speaking. songs and Rotations
were ably rendered before an APP
preciatlve audience of about 300
people, mostly lcelanders.
Without going too much into
details it may be pardonable to
mention the songs and instrument
tai music by the jameson sisters,
as the most popular and best re-
ceived renditions.
After the exercises coffee, mild
drinks and cakes were served to all,
and dancing was freely INDUCED
in--some say "and so was beer,h
A general good will prevailed.
Indeed every thing went off as sche-
duled without a hitch, save a
speech assigned a certain gentle
man who was conspicuously absent
was given extemporaneously by
the master of ceremony. If there
are any knockers in the lcelandic
colony they favored us by remain
ing away, for everything at the
"doings" was just lovely.

THE WHY OF THE ICELAN
Die PIONEER DAY.

Die PIONEER DAY.
"patriotsm makes one wish to
live, and dare to die. Campbell.
1t may interest many of the
readers Of The Press to get to know
the brief outline of the important
historical event in which memory
the Icelanders celebrate the second
Of August.
1t was in A. D. $50, or there
about, that a military chieftain
known by the name of Herald
Harfager undertook to unite all Of
Norway into subsection to himself
and succeeding in this. imposed
heavy taxes and unlimited authority
on the people. This caused many
Of the greatest free holders to leave
their vast estates and go elswhere.
Iceland was about that time Incl
IDENTIFY discovered, but the first
ones to start for that isle for the
purpose to make it their future
homes we're lngolf Arnason and
Hjorleif Hredmarson, who, on ac-
cording to the best historical ac-
counts, on the second day of Au-
gust in A. d. S74 landed in
Iceland. At the grand national
celebration held in Iceland in AID.
1874, the thousandth anniversary
of this event, the king of Denmark
by his own hand brought and
handed the governor of Iceland and
its people constitution for the
people Of that island to be governed
by.
Very few realize how important
the settlement Of Iceland is to the
people Of Europe. There as early
A. d. $50 a national parliment was
established and a constitutional re-
public formed, which lasted till in
the year A. D. 1852 when it lost
its independence and became sub
ject to King Hakon of Norway. In
A. d. 1883 Iceland together with
Norway became subject to Den
mark.
From literary standpoint no
country in Europe excells Iceland.
The Eddas and sagas consisting of
over twenty volumes were written
mostly during the eleventh and
twelfth centuries. Snorra Edda
was written during the thirteenth.
In those volumes is mostly pre-
served all that is known regarding
the Scandinavians previous to that |
date. 1t was there that trial by
jury was preserved and brought
from there to England from whence
it came to America. The Icelandic
language is by the leading philolo-
gists termed the Greek Of the
North. 1t is the Oldest living
language in the world. The peo-
pie of Iceland have, since it's
settlement, always reached amongst
the most intelligent, the best civil
lized and the best educated people
in the world. John Thorgeirson.
