NORWEGIAN EMIGRATION

Shipping Fewer Logs and More
Manufactured Lumber.

From The journal Bureau. Colorado building,

Washington, Nov. 21.-Consul Gems
eral Bordewtch, at Ghristiania, says
that during 1902 there were 81, 900
Norwegian e1nigrants to this country,
and that the figures for 1903, promise
to exceed that number by a large mar
gin. The reasons for the great In
crease in the last few years, NE. Bor-
dewich says, are scarcity of work, poor
prospects for the future, high taxation
and information received from friends
in the United States of satisfactory
conditions found here. Large sums
are sent from NoFwegians In the
United States to their relatives at
home. The amount in 1902 shasSbeen
estimated at $1,080,9De:. * AS@.
