One of our most prominent and well-known Swedes, is Senator Frederick Lundin of Fox Lake, Illinois, was honored by his many friends at his farm home last Saturday on the occasion of his birthday.

They presented him with a brand new motor-boat at a banquet held at East Side hotel, Fox Lake. The toastmaster was Thomas Hunter, who read telegrams. Among them was one from the President of the United States.

Mr. Lundin came to the United States and to Chicago at the age of twelve and was elected State Senator at twenty one. He is very prominent in the Republican party.
