Entertainment
For The Aged

OSLO-Old Age Pension bene-
ficiaries in Oslo were guests of the
Municipal Welfare Committee at
two parties last week. First, well
over a thousand attended a con-
cert in the mural-decorated cham
Der of Oslo Town Hall, followed
by refreshments. Later, about two
thousand enjoyed a show at the
Zoo Cirrus. Altogether, ten SINH
lar events for the old folks are
scheduled this fall and winter.
So far the Municipal Welfare
Committee has hosted 81 movie
performances, attended by 22,4OO
pensioners, and church concerts
for another 1900. And SIT have
been guests at the Town Hall par
ties. Altogether more than $4,000
elderly Osloites have been invited

Tractors Increasing
In Sweden

The increase in the number of
tractors in Sweden has exceeded
all forecasts. The present total
is about 40, 900, of which at least
80 per cent are used in the farm
ing industry. Ten years ago, when
Sweden had about 10000 tractors,
it was estimated that the market
would have reached the satura-
ton point when the figure 10000
had been attained. Now it seems
that this number will have to be
doubled, but even that calculation
may prove too conservative. Of
the tractors sold in Sweden in re-
cent years, about one-third were
manufactured in the country. The
number of horses naturally has
decreased substantially. Today
there are about 100000 farm
horses, against 100000 in 1945.

Who Was Martin
Eden?

"In the moonlight, who are they
cross-legged, telling their stories
over and over?
'Ts one of 'em Martin Eden. -
= Carl Sandburg.
Returning to land, after years
of wandering on the high seas, !
found, in backlog of notes, that
the Swedish publisher of Jack
London had been seeking to get
in touch with me. He wished to
know more about Martin Eden of
Sonoma, a story I had written and
published in the American Scan
dinavian Review and Scandinavian
papers. It was the story about
Norrlanningen Martin Eden, liv-
ing in the Valley of the Moon,
whose name Jack London had used
for his autobiography.
The book Martin Eden has been
translated into many languages.
When it appeared in Sweden it be-
came best seller, although no one
knew that the bearer of the name
Martin Eden was a landsman. The
London publisher in Sweden had
been very successful and he de-
sired more information about the
original Martin Eden, moreover
since, previous to that time, it
had been brought up in the Stock
holm papers a question why all
Swedish characters appearing in
London's writings always had to
be outcasts and wild ones.
Had Martin Eden, as 1 know
him, told me anything that could
shed light on the subject? Lon
don was known for his human
contracts, gathering about him
many men from many lands, TAX
ing down their stories which lat
err he mastery nodded into his
novels. Was Martin Eden from
Sonoma the true adventurer and
London speaking through him?
There was not much more to
tell about Martin Eden, the pee
uliar Swede", as people in the
Valley sometimes called him, than
had already been set down. An
immigrant from Solicited, having
left his homeland, where he had
worked as CANDY dancer on the
railroad tracks near the iron
mines of Kiruna, and coming to
America about 1890. His "adven-
lures didn't even take him to
sea, contrary to the obituary in
a San Francisco newspaper 1913,
when he passed away. He perish
ed at sea in the book. But the
real Martin Eden was no sailor.
Martin Eden lived alone in a
little house, earning his living by
chopping wood for the nearby
ranchers and helping them at har-
vest time; he was a handy man
in the valley. There was no Won

cross-legged, telling their stories

Scandinavian American. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1945-1958, 1954-12-01

der the people called him the
peculiar one.
During the seasonal crops, at
fruit picking, chopping wood, or
mending fences = that was the
only time the people of Sonoma
saw Martin Eden. Since he had
started at an early age, his
schooling was short and he had
little opportunity to study read
ing and writing.
Years later, after the book bear
ing his name had become a best
seller, Martin received a copy of
the novel. It wasn't a new copy;
it had been used and the pages
were dog-eared. But his name,
Martin Eden, was printed in large
letters on the cover. Even though
he never read the book, he always
kept it in an old box underneath
his bed. When he brought it out
to show it to me, it was buried
in dry blossoms of camomile. "Why
do you put the book in a grave
yard of flowers, 1 said to him.
Flowers for my tea, came the
short answer from Martin. (Ca-
momile tea of purported medical
value, habit clinging to him
from the NorthlandD.
There was little Martin Eden
could tell me from the time his
famous neighbor walked on the
grounds. Once when London came
over, in the year of 1908, about
the time he had received his book,
Martin was gloomier than ever,
and London told him so. Looking
away from London out through
his window, festooned with spider
webs, Martin growled something
about not being important
enough to have his name on the
book, since he was only a gam
NAL kraka". This was a pet say
ing of Martins, and one of his
idiosyncrasies.
1t amused London hearing the
mixed language of Martins. He
liked him, having no iron collar
of necessity around his neck, con-
tended in his Valley of dreams.
Most Swedes he had encountered
while on the road, had put him
to test by brain and Drawn, but
Martin, 1.-The tame one, wasn't
talking.
London went away that day
without saying anything to Mar
tin. The next day when Martin
was poking about his stove, fry
ing a jackrabbit someone in the
Valley had sent over to him, he
heard the approach of a horse
and knew that London was COM
ing back.
After having tied his horse to
tree outside, London, carrying
something with him wrapped up
in a brown paper bag, STROBE in.
Fetch your mugs he common
deered, referring to the enamel
mugs Martin had gotten from
Sweden one of the few things he
ever mentioned. Opening up his
paperbag, London uncovered a
bottle of Old Crow whisky. "SkAl
to the Old Crow-it is best, Mar
tin, he unused and poured from
the bottle into Martins mugs.
The "Gamla krakan," chuckled
Martin and was cheerful again.
Martin Eden's oddities belong
to the past, inferred as his bones
are in the Odd Fellows Cemetery
in Santa Rosa. The Wake Robin
Lodge, the sweet and wholesome
setting place of sanity and reason,
as London wrote, has now been
parceled out by real estate oper-
ators, shifting about the ground
where THE Seawolf' was put to-
gether. When I recently walked
over the place, where Martin Ed
en- lived, / found bulldozers level
ing the ground, and his house
demolished.
The age of Jack London is wan
ing, blurred by digests and pub
locations, with verbalism of sex
plots and sentensious attires. This
was something Jack London. the
