AGED MADISON LADY IS
sMOTHERED TO DEATH
Mrs. Bertha AsIakson Suffocated
in Fire in Her Home. Relatives
at WiIlmar.

Madison, Minn.-Mrs. Bertha As
lakson lost her life in fire which
nearly destroyed her home II! this
lefty last Sunday morning, Dec. l.
The cause Of the sad accident is 4
mystery. She lived alone, and it is
supposed she had risen early to build
fire and returned to bed, and in
some manner the fire was com:auni-
Gated to the walls or floor Of the
house. Before she noticed it she
was nearly suffocated with the smoke
and was unable to get out. She was
found lying upon the floor fully dres-
sed. All efforts to revive her proved
Of no avail.
The fire department was soon up
on the scene Of the fire and had it un-
der control in a short time, but con-
siderable damage was done to the in
terror of the house.
Deceased was nearly 80 years old
| and had lived alone for some tirae.
She was sister of |. A. Guddal Of
near Gary and an aunt Of Mrs. T.
E. ROLAND of Lake Shore.
Funeral services were held in the
United church Tuesday afternoon
and were conducted by Rev. Thar
aldsen.-Western Guard.
The deceased was married to
Bernt Aslakson, a brother Of Mrs.
John Torkelson of this city, and an
aunt Of T. C. Torkelson, one Of the
telephone linemen Of our city.

"MINDEGAVE" CAMPAIGN
ABOUT TO BE launched
Organization of Norwegian-Ameri.
cans in Fifteen States is Now
Completed Ready for Work.

A recent issue of the Minneapolis
Journal contained the following spec
ial from Willmar:
Willmar, Mimi, Nov. 30.-With
the announcement by Senator L. O.
Thorpe Of this city that the organi-
cation is complete, the actual work
Of collecting the fund which will con-
stitute the gift Of Norwegians in
America to the Motherland in 1914
will be started.
At meeting in Minneapolis a few
years ago Of delegates from all over
the northwest it was unanimously re-
solved to effect an organization ma
tion-wide in scope, to the end that
suitable gift might be made to the
old country upon the occasion Of the
celebration Of the centennial Of in
dependence in 1914. There was great
difference Of opinion as to what
should be given and how it should be
used, but finally the delegates unit
ed on a basis that a cash fund be
collected, if possible Of $1,000,000,
and that this be given to NORWAY
Willmar tribune. [volume] (Willmar, Minn.) 1895-1931, 1912-12-11

with the understanding that the Nor
wegian storthing or legislature use
the interest each year for any pub
lie or humane purpose.
There was one clause, however,
setting aside $67, 900 to be used in
the restoration Of the famous cathe-
dral in Trondhjem. This cathedral
has played an interesting part in the
history Of Norway. 1t is almost as
old as the nation, and it has reflected
every important epoch Of the Nor.
wegian people.
When misfortune visited Norway
in one form or another, the cathedral
went down, again to be restored when
better times set in. This has been
repeated innumerable times. The
work of restoration has been going
on for years, but it has never been
finished for lack of funds It was
natural, therefore, that the Norweg-
ians in this country should place
special emphasis upon the restora-
ton Of this church.
The organization which will su-
pervise the collection Of the funds is
large one. Fifteen states are re-
presented, and besides there are
special organizations in the larger
cities. In Minnesota and other states
there are special county organiza-
tons.
It. is natural that every son and
daughter of Norwawy is interested in
this gift. They are all loyal Amer
leans but that does not do away with
their love for the mother country
Norway may not be as rich in ma
terial resources as the United States
but it has produced some men whose
names have travelled to the ends Of
the earth. Ibsen, Bjornson, Kje}land
Grieg, Bull-these are names to con-
jure with; no one can claim to be
wholly cultured without some know
ledge Of these intellectual giants.
A good many things can be done to
improve conditions in Norway. The
forests must be reclaimed and swamp
lands drained. The medieval condi-
tons under which thousands Of men
and women labor upon the open seas
during the fishing seasons must be
improved. Roads are being built
but there are still good many dis
tricts that are practically shut of
from civilization.
With a thorough understanding Of
the motive behind the enterprise there
ought to be no difficulty about secur-
ing fund that will be worthy Of
Norwegians in America. ss
