THE Northern Pacific Railroad Bill has
just passed the HOUSE,
We are not advised Of the location of the

it to be the same as that fixed in the Peo-

in the House-and for which this one is
MISUNDERSTANDING only the termini
at the west end of Lake Superior and Pu-
gets Southland leaving the intermediate
location of the road in-,his State, and else
where, to be determined hereafter 1t
would save great deal of local squabbling
and would harmonize with the general
scheme of railroad development in this
State and the Western districts beyond, if
the course Of the road were definitely fixed

should make the westward ex; tension of the
Northern Pacific Railroad continuation
IF the former from the south end Of Big
Stone Lake due westward, on or near the
parallel of fo"ty-fve degrees through the
Idaho mining regions and thence by the
most feasible route to its Pacific terminus.
We feel certain that this general plan of
Northern Pacific Railroad is recommend
ed by stroagsr considerations Of State and
national interest, and would 60 far more.
Reconstructed. to promote the development
of the rich agricultural and mineral re-
sources Of this great northern belt of States
and territories than any other; and we
hope that, if not already embedded in the
hill it may be so amended in tie Senate
as to embrace these important features.-
