Scandinavian Hotel. Mr. (A.) Knudson keeps a Scandinavian hotel, which is very largely patronized by his co-patriots, who form a considerable portion of the industrious, hard-working population of this section. His house is clean and neat, and the comfort of the guests is the object of the continual solicitation of the proprietor, who personally attends to the management of the whole house.
