In presenting this paper l do not
claim for it originality or entend re
search on my part. | have made use
of information furnished by X. c.
Babcock and others who have made
study of immigration in this and
other countries.
Scandinavia, supposed by many to
be the true home of the Tutonic race
is the name generally used as a col
lective term for the three kingdoms
of Norway, Sweden and Denmark.
In more restricted and purely
geographical sense, the name is con-
fined to the great peninsular of North
ern Europe, including only Norway
and Sweden.
The name Scandal was first en-
ployed by the Romans, to designate
a large island supposed to lie north
of the Baltic sea. This was probably
southern Sweden, which still bears
the name "Scana," and which was not
then known to be connected with the
mainland in the north. Scandinavians
are therefore people of the Teutonic
stock, consisting of Norwegians, Swedes
Danes and Iselanders, all belonging to
the race of long headed blends.
They appear in history at the time
of the searoving expeditions, when
they came in contact with many civil
lied nations and carried back to the
north, the coins and artworks of these
nations.
From the coast of the Baltic sea
amber, which in ancient times was
largely used in medicines and the
arts, was obtained in greater abun-
dance than anywhere else in the world
The trade in this commodity follow
ed well known route, and had de-
cided effect upon the culture of Swe-
den, for great quantities were used
in the Mohammedan worship at Nee
ca and it was and is still in great
demand throughout the east
This trade and the ineXaustible sup
ply of food, especially fish, gave rise
to early commerce between this re-
sion, and the nations of the south
and explains largely the diffusion OF
culture in Scandinavia.
The Swedes have taken less of the
blending than the Norwegians or Danes
and preserve the best types of the
early migrants. The only foreign
types of the region, are the Laps, and
the settlements of the short heads on
the west coast of Norway. ''What a
glorious Scandinavia might not -,4ln-
nesota become here would the Swede
find again his clear romantic lakes
and the plains of Scana rich in corn
Here would the Norwegian find his
rapid flowing rivers, his lofty noun
tains for | include the Rocky noun
tains and Oregon in the new King
dom; and both nations their hunt
ing fields and their fisheries. The
Danes might here pasture ;:leir Eocxs
and herds, and lay out their farms
on richer and less misty coasts thar,
those of Denmark. The climate, the
situation, the character of the scenery
agrees with our people better than that
of any of the American States" So
wrote Frederick Bremen from st. Paul
in 1850, when there were hardly a
score of Scandinavians in all the west
region she called Minnesota. Fifty
years has brought marvellous change.

Work on the street railway line
is proceeding up Front street, the pave
ment being torn up and rails laid.
The cold weather has not interferred
with the laying of the cement under
the iron ties.
The track has been laid and COM
pleted to the entrance to Sibley park,
and the force of men employed there
will now be transferred to Dukes
addition, where two blocks of track
will be laid beyond Thompson's creek,
in accordance with the agreement made
with A. n. Dukes. The work of
building the culvert across the creek
has begun, and when that has been
completed the track will be connected.

Albert Lea, Mimi, Nov. 7.-R. 5.
Blackmer has sold from his herd of
Holstein- Freisian cattle three cows and
the combined price was $545, the pur-
chaser being Robert Freeman of st.
Paul. Two of the COWS were priced at
SlS5 each and the other at $l75. This
is perhaps a record price for cows
in this part of the country, but these
had been tested and found free from
tuberculosis and would soon freshen,
and with milk at the present price
they will make their new owner some
money.

where they were set to work break

st. Paul, Nov. What may be
news to some members of the legis-
lature, and especially the 1905 body,
the first to hold a session in the new
capitol, is the recent placing in the
senate retiring room of large bronze
tablet having in relief all of the
names of those composing the 1908
state senate.
According to the heading on the
tablet it is in recognition of the first
senate to occupy the chamber in the
new capitol. Both the capitol commits
sion and those at present in charge
of the building disclaim any credit for
installing the memorial.
They say it was done privately by
committee from the 1905 body,
headed by Senator Calhoun, of Min
neapolis. Each member was taxed his
share of the cost, which was about
$500. The idea of perpetuating the
memory of the 1905 senate was taken
up following adjournment, and was
carried out some months later.
