looking for Nils Evensen Hugaas

My wifes grandfather Nils Evensen Hugaas lived in Norway. Born 22/11-1889 He left Norway and came to Ellis Island 1909(found him in the passengerlist named Nils Hugaas) I think he went to America to visit his uncle, Ole Wallum(Vollum) But can't find anything about him. In the passengerlist from Ellis Island it was written that he was gonna go to Eau Claire, wisconsin. Can someone help us #128512;#128512;
