THE TICKETS.
The prepaid steamship order is rather an
elaborate affair and contains nearly all the
information that an emigrant would wish.
One drawn by the Thiugvalla Steamship
lines agent at Crookston, No. 2oJ53, has.
in large lettrrs across the top the name Of
the IlI pany, announcing direct communi-
cation between Scandinavia and New. York
by the Hekla Geiser, Island, Heimdal, Thing
rala or KiObenhavn steam ships, from Co
penhagen, ChristiaDa, Christiansand, Sta
vanger, rgen, Droutheim, Guten6urg,
Malmo or st ckholm. I then has The general
agent, Alfred Mortensen, Chicago, and A.
E. Johnson 81 Ca, general northwestern
agent, 81. Paul. Tls ticket in question was
issued in Cro0kston, Mimi, aud was
made out TO Ole Olson by the
agent, W. NJ. Ross, who gave
receipt for sl20 as passage money for the
transportation of Gulbrand Oppegaarl aged
30, Marie Is, Hans 20, Gustav l6, Gulbrand
l3 Nigrborg 10 and Halvor s in any of the
Tningvalla steamships from Christiana to
New York. With this goes the
PREPAID RAILROAD ORDER
which gives the number of the steamship
ticket it is ordered with and its own number,
which is No. J 1899, drawn at CroOkston by
W. NJ. Ross, and gives transportation from
New York 10 Crnokston on account Of the
Thingyalla line for the five adults and trio
children named on the steamship ticket by
the West Shore route and the Chicago,

ticket being good for one year.
notice is attached, which specifies that if
the ticket is not used the order must be re-
turned to the purchaser, aud in the event
AL the passengers named on the ticket do
not arrive, notice must be given when the
order is exchanged upon landing at New
York.
TIE MOST IMPORTANT FEATURE
of these prepaid emigrant tickets is that
they are not transferable, which is a guaran-
tee to the purchaser that il the passenger for
whom the ticket is bought declines to emf
CRATE the tickets are to be returned and the
passage money will be refunded to ths pur-
chaser, and to him only. Tne losses incurred
hy the ste TN sip companies, or their gen
erAl agents, on account of dishonest local
agents, is insignificant compared with the
volume Of business and the aggregate
amount OF money handled. Tickets are sup
posed not 70 be honored without being adj
Fised, but 1t is rare occurrence that an
emigrdnt is refused passage on this account.
The Importance oil the emigration business
in the Northwest may be inferred from the
fact that certain agency in st. Paul trans
acted business in passage and money re-
mittance during 1884, to the amount of
S400, 900. The amount Of travel between
Europe and America by our foreign-eorn
citizens is Increasing rapidly, and rs high as
go Scandinaviaus, principally from the
Northwest, have been known tO take passage
on q single steamer from New York, and as
many as 300 have left st. Paul on although
train for New York, en- route to. Europe.
The influence oil emigration Of large num-
beers of our people visiting their former
homes, bringing good reports Of their own
successes and prospects, cannot DC over
estimated.
Conn petition between the ocean lines, as
well as the railroad companies, will always
keep through rates between Europe and the
Northwest at the lowest possible figures, and
the indications are that this class OF travel
will increase year by year, all OF which will
tend to keep our natural advantages and in
ducements properly before the emigrating
classes of Europe. From reliable sources 1t
is learned that upwards OF 5000
passage tickets have been sold in
st. Paul since Jan. /, and, all
lowing the same number for Minneapolis,
il is moderate estimate 10 say that 1000
have been sOll In Minnesota; applying the
ratio Of one cash emigrant To each prepaid,
and We have a direct addition Of $4,000
already secured this year to our population,
which will be increased materially during the
remaining ten months, even should both
ocean and inland emgrant rates be restored
to former prices, which is hardly probable.
