Marquette, Mich, March 9.-An unu
sually heavy immigration movement is ex-
pected this spring and summer by the
immigration. department of the South
Shore road. Owing to the complete fail
ure of the crops In large districts of Swe-
den and Finland, and the intense suffer-
ing being experienced there in conse-
quence, many inhabitants Of those coun-
tries have, according to reports received,
decided to come to America.
A peculiar feature of the movement is
that the greater part of the tickets for the
settlers coming from European countries
to the Lake Superior district and the
northwest are purchased in these parts of
America. There are two reasons for this.
There is a difference in the price of the
tickets A ticket from the ports of Nor
way, Sweden or Denmark can be pur-
chased for several dollars less in the
northwest than it can in those countries
The second reason is that in great many
cases the intending settler has relatives or
friends in this country who have induced
him to leave his old home and come to the
United States, and who have advanced
him his transportation. go.
The immigration movement reaches its
height in the spring. This gives the new
comers the summer in which to get set
tied, and when they take up land they car
commence work at once. About the 1st o1
April the rush will be at it's height, bu
already many tickets are being sold, an(
everything points to a record breaking in
