Messrs. Oleson & Wright, of Stock

ton by this firm of direct line of ocean
steamers between Stockholm and Boston.
The intention is to secure sufficient cargo
of iron for the outward trip. Each steam
er will have accommodations for from 600
to 500 emigrants, and it is expected that
during eight months of the season the
steamers will carry their full complement
of passengers. The price of emigrant pas
sage has been placed at the low rate of
100 crowns 1927 from Stockholm to New
York or Boston. This is from So to 81
less than by the English line. Messrs,
Oleson & Wright dispatched several steam
ers last summer, and the result of this ex-
pertinent warrants the firm in establishing
q regular service.

railroad and steamship travel. The com
pany embraced carpenters, iron workers
and several other citizens. They were IN.
der the direction af Hoyt Sherman

Northern Pacific railroad, and they had
been collected for the service of the com
pany by II. G. Davis, assistant general
passenger agent of the st. Paul, Mime
apolis u Manitoba railroad.
The route pursued by the special train
was from Winnipeg to st. Paul; thence to
Sioux City: thence to Missouri Valley anC
Council Bluffs; thence to Omaha and tC
Ogden via the Union Pacific; thence tt
San Francisco VIA the Central Pacific; and
thence via Pacific Mail steamships to Vic
toria. British Columbia. The enterpris,
of company which will carry men 5000

of the remarkable evidences of tn,
growth Of railroad progress.
