The Chicago Times closes an article on
the subject of Minnesota Railroads, and the
acts of the Legislature in relation thereto,
with the following just and truthful alclu-
sion to the future of Minnesota:
"TO the most careless observer of the
rapid progress of the Northwest, O mere
glance at the map of Minnesota, will be suffi-
cient to indicate the incalculable results to
flow from the construction Of these roads,
Minnesota will enter the Union with her lines
of railroad not only laid out, but so substan-
TALLY supported, that their construction is
secured beyond all doubt. The grant of
land secures beyond all doubt the construc-
ton of the roads, and the construction of the
roads secures to the people of the new State
a market at their doors. The new State will
come into the Union with her thousands of
miles of railroads under contract. She will
enter the Union with the feebleness of in
fancy, but under circumstances of such pro-
progressive development, as has never been
eqnalled. She can point to the hardy settler
telling her forests, planting her valleys, and
reaping on her plains. She can point to the
laborers extending the iron roads from her
central points on the Mississippi, up throug h
the almost unknown regions to the British
line to another body of them smoothing the
pathway far off to the West, Oh the lines
which are to connect the Lakes with the
Pacific; then to the numerous bands of Ia
borers building her roads from the Mssis-
sippi due West, and also North and South.
The future State has well planned her roads
they point North, Northwest, West, and
Southwest, and South-with numerous in
tersections, crossings, &c. Minnesota is
covered with network of roads-and in
their construction will grow up a mighty
empire"
