Here is his arrival transcribed :

In 1917-1918 he was in California working as a carpenter for a copper company, here in the WWI draft registration:

This may be him in 1920 in Yolo county, California with some notable ripples in birthplace (Denmark instead of Norway) and marital status (single vs married or divorced) name as John A.A. Larstead:

An Adolph Larstead was beaten and robbed in 1910 Minnesota, may be Johan. This from The Duluth Herald Fri 10 June 1910 page 20 Col 4 "Slugged and Robbed" :
