Office. ~
Aftcr referring to the. the Great Pacific
railyays, the report describes the lines Of
routes as follows ,,, III, i.
The frst Of these routes having centrallty
of position, starting from Omaha, Nebraska,
is 10 be formed by the Union Paciicou the
eastern or Missouri side, linked to the Cen7
tral Pacific on the western or Pacific side,
constituting one great national route, with a
line from the Missouri river at the mouth Of
the Kansas, IN north latitude 1920, near the
latitude of Washington City, the. national
Metropolis, and of 81. Louis, curying north
ward, takes It's westerly course by two
branches along the Kansas aud Republican
rivers, uniting upon the Tooth meridian,
thence across the plains 70 Denver, the capi-
tai of thenew State of Colorado, onward over
the mountains and through the valleys, ex-
tending to Great Salt Lake City, In latitude
500 COZ. s-js 1af nrisg 4t'f 4t
From that point the Union Pacific and Gem
tfal will traverse Nevada, near the silver re-
gion, entering California, and reaching the
navigabls waters OF the Sacramento IN lati-
tudc 400 l5/. turning southwardly along the
valley Of that river, via Sacramento City, i
will extend 10 San francisco, in latitude 370

now in progress, and the construction Of
which is aided by liberal grant, starting
from Leavenworth, through Lawrence, In
Kansas, TO the southern boundary in the di-
rection of Galveston bay, on the Gulf Of Mex.
leo. This road, extended TO the latter point,
would not only open to our advancing pOpula-
ton one Of the richest agricultural regions
on the continent, but would connectthe whole
system Of railroads North and South, unite
them to the great Pacific trunk line, and bind
the Northern, Central and southern portions
of the great valley of the Mississippi BY the
indissouble bonds Of interest and COM
merce. Congress has ordered land conces-
sions in aid of the Union Central route,
Shich, by estimate, will embrace some thir-
ty-Hve millions OF acres.
The second oftheSe semi-contlncntd routes
Is the Northern Pacific railway, which will
begin at a point on Lake Superior, in Min
