PACIFIC RAIL WAYNE commend
the following letter of our much esteem.
ed friend, Mr.. Dearbon, to the auen.
lion Of the public, only promising that
he is highly distinguished in the east as
scientific and reliable engineer. Ii
will be seen that he prefers a route
through the great South Pass.
BosToN, Nov Is, 1910.
Dear SH:-l herewith transmit the
results of the investigation, which !
promised you would make, in relation
TO rail road route for connecting the
Mississippi river aud Pacific ocean,
which beg you TO accept. with most
ardent desire for, and full belief in
seeing it opened for travel.
From the kGnsas river 10 the South
Pass of the Rocky Mountains, a dis
tance of nine hundred and tifiy-two
miles, is a gradually ascending plain
with an average rise of little more
than seven feet per mile, aud for line
Of equal length, know Of no part of
! the world where one could be traced
Except perhaps, over the pampas Of
South America, the Steepes OF Russia
or the PIalcaux Of Central Asia) whose
physical features would compare with
its regularity.
From the South Pass to Sierra Ne.
veda, seven hundred and nine miles by
the red line route, are points, on from
one hundred to two hundred miles Of it
which present obstacles to be overcome
as difficult. but not think, more SO
than on some portions of the western
rail road Of Massachusetts. The re-
naming five hundred and nine miles
are very level, and well adapted TO the
easy construction Of a rail road.
humboldt river and Bear river noun
tains are flanked, and their SUBMITS
avoided by the red line route, from the
South Pass TO Humhod,'s river, called
Subeu's cut off, and the distance there.
by decreased SO much as to render il
shorter by hundred miles than any
other line Of travel.
The perfect practicability Of the
route from ST. Louis TO the Sierra Ne
veda may be considered as well estab
ished, and the obstacle which thai
mountain range seems 10 present Is not
! by any means 10 be considered as in
surmountable; for am fully convinced
that when more thorough examinations
of ii have been made, that barrier will
comparatively disappear, as have those
of the Menia straits and Alps before
the science, skill and enterprise Of the
age. Very respectfully,
your ob't. serv't.

Nor are meats cooked any better within

Minnesota.

The young but gigantic territory of the
Northwest, is making vigorous struggle
to bring herself into prominent political ex-
istence, and to place cOnspicuously before
the public, with view 10 its influence upon
emigration, the Typographical character and
agricultural capabilities of the land lying
upon the ST. Croix and St. Peters rivers,
and the Mississippi above the falls of ST.
Anthony.
Governor Ramsey, in discharge of his du-
ties as Indian Agent in Minnesota, has made
extended journeys Into different parts of
the Territory, of all of which be gives a
good account. On the Mississippi, as .far
North as Cas- Lake, which is described as
a very beautiful sheet of water, ihe found
excellent crops of Winter wheat, az the sta
tons of tile Missionaries and converted In
dans. with many kinds of vegetables, all
growing rapidly and producing well.
Several parties from ST. Paul and other
towns in Minnesota. have made excursions
far up the ST. PEERS river the present sum
mer, and found good, safe navigation for
very comfortable class Of steamboats,, much
beautiful scenery, and country which they
describe as made up.of alternate sections of
land densely aud valuably wooded, and Of
beautiful prairie bottoms, equal IN fertility
10 those OF the Miamis in Ohio.
The timber on the ST. Croix is extremely
beautiful and valuable, and produces lum-
Der Of first quality, the demand for which is
constantly hey ond all thar the mills can sup

farming land OIL this stream also, which

With few days of extreme heat the
present month, when the thermometer rose
as high at St. Paul as it has been at any
time Cincinnati, and a few days last
winter, when the mercury sank below zero,
the climate appeared to he satisfactory to
the persons Who went out from Ohio, Penn
sylyania and Kentucky, when the Terrific
rial government was organized. The sum-
mers are represented as less variable there
than in this latitude, and the winters are SO
much more dry and agreeable as not to he
so severe upon the consultation Of an emf
grant from the Ohio valley, as are the sud-
den changes there from cold to moderate
weather, and vice versa with the iuhuenZas
and fevers thus produced.-[N. Orleans
