Holds His Claim. Interior Department Sustains a Decision of Local Land Office. Albert Lundgren has a tree claim out in south Vega and a year ago he made up his mind to prove up and get his patent. About this time H. Svedlund concluded that Albert had not lived up to the law in such cases made and provided, and entered a contest. The officers of the local land office made a personal examination of the premises and decided that Svedlund had not made himself entirely familiar with the facts, and dismissed the case. Svedlund appealed to the Secretary of the Interior, and yesterday word was received announcing the fact that the local authorities had, in the minds of the court of last resort, acted as they should in the matter. The land in question is quite valuable. (Warren Sheaf, Thursday, December 20, 1900, Volume XX1, Number 3, Page 1)

Albert Lundgren, of Puyallup, Wash., arrived last Friday for a visit with his brother Aug. Lundgren, of this city, and other relatives and friends. He was for many years a resident of Warren, removing to the coast with his family about ten years ago (1901). Mr. Lundgren was surprised to see how Warren has prospered and grown since he left. Then we had no electric lights, nor city conveniences of any kind, and not a foot of cement sidewalks. It is different now. The young people have grown up and are unrecognizable to him but still there are a large number of the old familiar faces to greet him as in former days. Mr. Lundgren will remain here several weeks. He reports his family well. His wife whom he married here was a Warren girl. Their eldest child, son Oliver, graduates from the high school this year.

Former Warren Boy Drowned in Oregon. Oliver Lundgren, Son of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Lundgren, Former Warren Residents, Loses Life in River. He was a Student at Oregon Agricultural College, Corvallis. Mary’s river claimed a victim this morning (Dec. 20) when Oliver Lundgren and Troy Bogard, students at O. A. C. attempted to bring a canoe down the river from the dam. The canoe capsized about thirty yards below the dam and Bogard succeeded in grabbing the canoe and saving his life, but the other occupant went down and Bogard saw him no more. The young man who drowned is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Lundgren 444 S. Eleventh street, and was a junior in agriculture at the College. He would have been 22 years old in January. His companion lives at Woodburn, rooms in the neighborhood where the Lundgrens live and the two young men were classmates and chums.
The two young men had planned to go hunting on Saturday and according to the statement Lundgren had made to his mother they planned to ship the canoe to Monroe and float down the Long Tom river and shoot ducks. This morning Bogard went to the Lundgren home and asked if Oliver had a morning class and was informed his chum’s first class would be at eleven o’clock, the first period after the Convocation. Bogard then suggested: "Let’s go get that boat and bring it down the river so we will be all ready for Saturday." They left the Lundgren home at about nine o’clock and went to the boathouse, took the boat out and lifted it down around the dam. They got in and had gone only a few yards when the craft capsized and the drowning resulted. Bogard rushed to the house, near the river there, and the accident was phoned. The fire department was activated and the bell rung. In less than half an hour Chief Graham with a dozen helpers were at the scene of the accident dragging the river for the unfortunate man’s body. By noon the students had begun to learn of the accident and this afternoon hundreds of people, mostly students thronged the river banks near the place where the accident occurred.
At two-thirty this afternoon Chief Graham secured an auto truck and took more boats to the place that more men may help to drag the river. The place where the canoe capsized is a dangerous one, there being a whirl in the current which is swift at the present time owing to the fact that a moderate amount of water is going over the dam. It is the spot at which a college student was drowned four years ago in this same week of the year. His name was Williams and lived at Pasadena, Calif. The Lundgrens are newcomers in Corvallis, coming here permanently only last summer. They came to this city from Puyallup, Wn., where Mr. Lundgren was engaged in farming. Mrs. Lundgren came here a year ago and kept house for her son and daughter, both college students, and during the past year Mr. Lundgren sold out his interests in Washington and moved here that all the family might be together. – Daily Gazette Times, Corvallis, Ore.

…about seven miles north of Portland, where we were to visit Mr. and Mrs. Albert Lundgren, also former residents of Warren. Mr. Lundgren being a brother of Aug. Lundgren, of this city, and Mrs. Lundgren, whose maiden name was Miss Ida Munson, grew up as a girl here. It was a real pleasure to meet these old friends. They live on a 10-acre fruit and chicken farm, a couple miles out from Vancouver, and are getting along nicely. Mr. Lundgren is working in a large ship building yard in Vancouver, and like thousands of others on the coast, is taking advantage of the high wages paid in the ship building industry during the war and likely to be maintained until government contracts are completed. Their daughter, Alice, born in Warren, is a fine young lady, who graduated from the Oregon Agricultural College last spring.
