Úr Heimskringlu,
2. júlí 1903:
Stephan Sigurðsson kaup-
maður frá Hnausa, P.O. og hr.
Tryggvi Ingjaldsson frá Ár-
dal, P.O. voru hér báðir á ferð
fyrir helgina er leið. Kváðu
góða líðan í Nýja íslandi nú.
Aldrei hefir verið sáð þar eins
miklu af korntegundum og
garðávöxtum sém í vor . . .
Vegabætur hafa verið gerðar
þar bæði miklar og góðar . . .
Á r d a 1 s skurðurinn, sem
Tryggvi Ingjaldsson hefir
staðið fyrir verki á, er nú bú-
inn. Hann liggur á milli fljót-
anna, og er 16 feta breiður og
3 feta djúpur. Hann mun hafa
kostað $1200. Hann er mesta
stórvirkið, sem gert hefir ver-
ið þar í nýlendu . . .

Úr Heimskringlu,
3. júlí 1913:
Þau tíðindi hafa borist hing-
að með dönskum blöðum, að
allt sé nú í uppnámi á íslandi,
út af því, að danska varð-
skipið „Fálkinn“ hafi hand-
samað íslenzkan bát, sem hafi
haft íslenzka flaggið uppi, og
hafi varðskipið síðan flutt
bátinn til Reykjavíkur og af-
hent lögreglustjóranum flagg-
ið.
Þetta olli feikna uppnámi í
Reykjavík sérstaklega meðal
stúdenta og sjálfstæðismanna,
og voru mótmælafundnir
haldnir og þetta gjörræði
danska skipstjórans harðlega
vítt, og síðan skorað á alþjóð
íslendingadagsræða

such an agricultural techni-
que had been practiced by
white men on the American
continent. Perhaps you have
heard of the beautiful monu-
ment in Salt Lake City to the
seagulls. I should like to tell
you the story in detail, but
time will not allow. I can
say only that the seagulls
saved the Mormon colony in
the Salt Lake valley from
starvation by stuffing them-
selves with the locusts that
had attacked the crops and
threatened to devour every
green blade of grass and
every leaf in the valley. Many
of you have been to Salt Lake
City and, as you drove up
and down the tree-lined
streets and saw the crystal
clear mountain water runn-
ing in the gutters on either
side of the street, you may
have found it hard to believe
that when the first Mormon
pioneers arrived, there was
scarcely a tree to be found in
the whole valley aside from a
íslendinga, að draga hvar-
vetna upp íslenzka flaggið.
Hitinn og ákafinn í mönn-
um var svo mikill, að danska
flaggið sem blakti yfir stjórn-
arráðsbyggingunni, var af
syni Skúla Þóroddsens dregið
niður, og þurfti hjálp lögregl-
unnar til að koma því upp
aftur . . . Bjarni Jónsson frá
Vogi og aðrir landvarnar-
menn eru áköfustu mótmæl-
endurnir gegn þessu gjörræði

Úr Heimskringlu,
4. júlí 1923:
Kapteinn Sigtryggur Jónas-
son frá Riverton, Man., hefir
verið í bænum undanfarið.
Hann er að gangast fyrir
stofnun félags á meðal ís-
lendinga með þeim tilgangi,
að byrja á, áður en allir elztu
innflytjendur deyja, að skrifa
sögu Vestur-íslendinga. Hann
hefir fyrirlestur um þetta
annað kvöld í Goodtemplara-
húsinu. íslendingar ættu að
fjölmenna, því mál það er
mikils vert . . .

Miss Þorstína Jackson frá
New York er stödd hér í bæn-
um . . . Hún biður þess getið
að þriðja b'indi af landnáms-
sögu þeirri, er faðir hennar
skrifaði, sé nú þegar komið út.
Ætlar hún að ferðast um

few cottonwoods along the
banks of the streams. The
valley was so parched and so
sun-baked that Jim Bridger,
the famous scout and moun-
tain man is supposed to have
bet Brigham Young $100.00
that he would never be able
to grow a bushel of wheat in
that arid valley.
Yes, if time allowed, we
could dwell at more length on
many apparently insoluable
problems that faced these
early settlers and tell how
with determination and co-
operation they solved them
one by one. Suffice it to say,
that under the leadership o::
Brigham Young they laid
out a city that has since be-
come one of the most beauti-
ful cities in this our great
country and which became
the model for most of the
other cities in Utah. Let us
now return to our two mis-
sionaries in Iceland.
Among the first converts
to the new faith in Iceland
was a man by the name of
Samúel Bjarnason who lived
at Kirkjubæ in the Westman
Islands. He seems to have
been baptized late in 1851 or
early in 1852. In 1854 he set
out for the land of Zion to-
gether with his wife Margret
and a friend named Helga
Jónsdóttir. Going by way of
Copenhagen, and from there
to Liverpool, England, he
entered the United States at
New Orleans. From there he
went by river steamer up the
Mississippi to join a caravan
crossing the plains. He ar-
