Often times the boy from the

base ball player in Geo. Cunning

pitchers are going great, and the
team will win games when the
boys start hitting. He doesn't
say when the hitting season
opens, but from the tone of his
letter, we expect it will be soon.
The Detroit News gives his
record to May 18th as follows:
Several fans have sent in re-
quests for the record of George
Cunningham, the youthful twirl-
er who is doing more work-do-
ing most of it in the bull pen
than any of the Detroit hurlers.
The Sturgeon Lake boy has yet
to start game, tho he is cred
tied with victory in one, at
Cleveland, where he relieved Car
roll Jones in the first inning,
stopped the Indians, and held
them while his mates were max
ing runs to win with.
cunningham has been in seven
games. pitching 18 1-3 innings,
and has not been scored on ex-
cepting in his first appearance,
where an error of commission
and one Of omission helped to 2
tallics. He has allowed only 10
bits, and has been very steady.
Jennings fancies him as a relief

OUR TRIP TO
MARE ISLANDS
Complete Description Of Trip by
AskOv American Core.
spOndent Mt Front.

After having our physical ex-
animation, finger prints, scars
and marks taken at the Recruit
ing Station in St. Paul, we were
finally ready on a Saturday night
to leave for Mare Island, San
Francisco, CAL, the western
training station for the Marine
service. There was ? number
censored) of us assembled at the
recruiting station in St. Paul
that night to leave on the $50
Milwaukee road. We were some
bunch; university boys, cooks,
farmers, BARRIERS, cow-punchers,
bank clerks, and many other oc-
cupations were represented. Two
Pine County boys were with us,
Dosch and Scott from Sandstone.
The officer at the Recruiting Sta
tion took us down to the train
double file-when we were given
two special Pullmans. Sunday
morning we were skirting the
Black Hills or Bad Lands of Da-
kota and eastern Montana. The
forenoon wore slowly away in
these black and desolate hills,
but in the afternoon as we
neared Miles City, Montana, the
trip became delightful. We had
then reached an elevation of 3.-
500 feet above sea level, which
made the air light and invigorat-
ing.
That night we discovered that
we had real musical talent in the
personnel porter-who cer-
tainly had missed his calling
when taking up the honorable
profession Of porter. He was a
musical comedy in himself and
soon had our bunch on the loud
pedal. We also took in real
poker game by three Montana
punchers.
The next day found us in the
Rocky mountain ranges near
Butte, pulled by the great elec-
trio locomotives on that line.
The electric railroad gives much
smoother riding and is free from
dirt and SCOT; surely this is, a
great progress in transportation
and will undoubtedly become
used very extensively. This road
took us high up in the snow-clad
mountains of Idaho, at one time
$500 feet above sea level. All
the bridges and tunnels even
way up here in the mountains,
were guarded by our national
guardsmen. As we were whirled
along high up in the mountains
admiring the high snow capped
peaks, our attention was often
called to the beauty of the noun
tain torrents that often tore
along in the bottom of deep gull
lies far below us. At times the
track would run down alongside
and many hours could be spent
watching the winding. tumbling,
roaring, foaming mountain
stream as it dashed downward on
its way to the Pacific. All with
sporting blood in their veins,
especially all lovers of fly cast
ing for trout. would surely. have
seen "whoppers" in every whirl-
pool. Leaving the rugged noun
tains of Idaho we entered east
ern Washington, the prettiest
country yet seen: 4 country of
low hills and many beautiful
lakes. Here we saw great forests
of the wonderful Washington
frs, giants in size. tall and

Duluth, Mimi, celebrated their
silver wedding last week, and
many Norwegian compatriots
took part in the festivities.
At Jewell, Iowa, Mr.. and Mrs.
Thomas C. Jensen, we'll known
Danes, have celebrated their
golden wedding surrounded by
their children and grandchildren
and even great-grandchildren.
Rev. C. J. Magnuson, a Swedish
divine, died last week at his
home in Loomis, Neb., at the age
of 81. He was born in Kalmar,
Sweden, came to America in 1865,
and had lived at Loomis during
the last Is years.
The Washington Square Play
ers in New York, have given a
presentation of Ibsen's weird So
cial drama, Ghosts" with Mrs.
Mary Shaw playing the role of
Fru Alving. Mrs. Shaw also
staged and directed the play.
A notable silver wedding oc-
Cured the other day in Racine,
Wis.,, when friends of Mr.. and
Mrs. Martin Larsen recalled the
twenty-fifth anniversary of their
union in marriage. Hosts of
Danish friends stormed the Lar
sen home and made merry for
many hours.
Nowadays it is pretty rare to
hear a man who has worked in
one place continuously for fifty
years; yet, A. Bernstein, a Swede
in Brooklyn, N. Y, can claim
such a distinction as he cele-
brated last week the fiftieth an
niversary of his connection with
the New York and Brooklyn Cas-
ket Co. He is 83 years old.
Peter S. Anderson, a young
American of Norwegian parent
age, was wounded in the famous
attack on the Vimy Ridge in
France little more than a
month ago. He enlisted in Sep
tember, 1915, in the Tooth
Grenadiers from Manitoba, and
left for the battlefields of blood
drenched France a year later.
He is now in a hospital, and may
recover.
DR.. Winslow Andersen, wide
ly known Danish-American ply
sician and surgeon, has died in
New York only 81 years old. He
was born in Hillsborough, Mass,
and educated at the California
State University. 1t is probable
that he suffered from his NAL
adv, cancer, already at the time
he was married only a few
months ago. 1t was during a
business visit to New York that
DR.. Andersen died.
Swedish eloquence is famous
thruout the world, and young
Alvan Pearson in Carlton, Ore,
has done his best to maintain
that fame. He is only Is years
old, but nevertheless won the
oratorical contest arranged by
the high school of his city a few
days ago, and he will now be the
representative of the school at
the final contest of the year
which will be held in McMinn-
Vile, Yamhill County, Oregon.

Former Danish Consul in San
Francisco, Otto Wadsted, has
been appointed Danish consul
general in Melbourne, Australia;
on April Oath he left Copenhagen
by way of Russia, Siberia, and
Japan, and he will reach his des-
tination about June 25th. The
war makes it necessary for the
consul to make a wide detour;
under ordinary circumstances he
could go from Denmark to Aus
tralia in less than month.
There are more than two thou
sand Danes in Australia and New
Zealand.
The famous Swedish aviator,
Capt. Hugo Sundstedt, is now in
San Francisco for the purpose of
inspecting the two motors which
he intends to install in his aero
plane prior to his transatlantic
flying trip, which is to start
some time next month. He will
go from St. Johns, N. B., and
estimates that it will be possible
to reach the coast of Ireland
within sixteen hours, i. e., he
must maintain a speed of 200
miles an hour. Capt. Sundstedt
has personally designed the ma
chine which is now being built
in Florida.
G.. S. Strandvold, for some time
editor Of the Danish "Ugebladet"
in Minneapolis, Mimi, has been
appointed night city editor on the
staff of the Herald" Grand
Forks, No. Dak., and will take
up his new duties on Monday of
next week. Aside from his regu-
lar work, he is now preparing
manuscript for a book about
Harold Bell Wright which will
be published some time during
the summer by the Askov Ameri-

The Constitutional Day of the

brated Tuesday of last week in
Seattle and Tacoma, Wash; in
Chicago, Ill.,; Grand Forks, and
Minot, N. d.; Roxbury, Mass;
Brooklyn, N. Y; Minneapolis,
Mimi, and other cities. The
"Syttende Mai" celebration was,
owing to some propaganda, de-
void of most of it's characteristic
features this year, and the flag
of Norway was kept very much
in the background at the various
festivities.
An official representative of
the Swedish government, Her.
man F. Lagercrantz, has arrived
in this country for the purpose
of negotiating with the United
States authorities regarding fut-
ure export to Sweden where the
rationing system, applied to food
stuffs, endangers the existence
of the nation. Political condi-
