crops, but the second year had 100
acres in wheat which made over $500
bushels. He has not had failure In

horses. is head of cattle and 35 hogs,
and owns 1,120 acres OF land, all I'M

$35 an acre for his land. and should
he care to dispose OF his holdings he
could pay all his debts and have $780,
900 to the good; but, as he says.

and get as good returns" He con-
tinues in his letter to the immigration
department August, 1912:

gen. Jacob Peterson, an author who
usually writes under the name of ia
cob Rome, had received collection
of Ibsen letters from his mother H.
sen wrote the letters to a young lady
iamRSEgen when he was twenty-seven
vor twenty eight .~ers old. and that
lady is still living Is an old woman.
AS the letters were given to Peter
sons mother, he thought he had a
right to publish them. But at this
juncture the old woman to whom the
letters were originally written pro-
tested and ordered Petersen to send
the letters back to her. This he re.
fused to do. and a lawsuit was the
result. 1t now turns out that Peter.
sen first tried to sell the letters to
the university library, but that the
price asked by him was considered
too stiff. DR.. Sigurd Ibsen, the son
of Henrik Ibsen, has declared that he
will not permit the publication of the
letters until he has found out their
contents.
