In the society news was the
story of the reception given by
the congregation Of the Nor
wesian Lutheran church for the
pastor. Rev. I. Tollofson, and his
bride. They were due back from
their wedding trip early that
evening and the stage was all
set for a wholesome and friend

groom. But something went
wrong with the transportation
system. Eight o'clock, the dead
line for starting such affairs 90

Seattle had not arrived. Nine

ice was packed around the ice

to give up when they heard
the boat whistle for the Ia

break the monopoly but admit

telephone service was due to
