couSy that the Interests OF the stockholders and
creditors Of the Company in no danger; and that
IL they VIII unite and furnish q comparatively small
amount OF money in the present condition OF its prog
yess, VIII secure within few months the completion
Of the road to the junction Of the Western Division
81 miles west Of Portage City. This brings the maiu
line OF the road to within yfve miles OF La Crosse
and within $50 miles Of ST. Paul seeu ring imme
the travel Of the entire Territory Of Minnesota and
ultimately connecting tne foad with the whole system
of railroads for which liberal grants Of land had been
made TO that Territory.

the line Of this road passes have been disposed Of

ment lands in Illinois aud Iowa. The consequence is
that the emigration West will hereafter find no cheap
