Folkegaven project about 1910-1914

Do anyone have information about the "Folkegaven project about 1910-1914". This was a fund raising project organized by immigrant from Hallingdal that collected NOK 71 840.- A committee with prof Knut O. Lokensgaard as leader was appointed 21. jan. in Fargo N. Dakota with 3 representatives from each municipalities in Hallingdal. This committee went to Norway and was gathering in Oslo 19. may 1914. Their mission was to deliver the gift to each of the municipalities the represented. This event was described in Norwegian Newspapers. According to this newspaper article the 3 persons representing Hemsedal municipality was Knut Olsen Teigen, Ole Knutson Torset and Torkel Tollefsen. My great grand fathers name was Ole Knutson Torset. He emigrated from Hemsedal in 1884 to Brandon Minnesota and was 58 year old in 1914. My question is: Could this be the same person that was back in Norway with the gift to Hemsedal in 1914?. Do it excist any detailed records about the fund raising project and the people involved?
