This brings the line to the eastern base of the

highest point on the road, by January. The maxi
mum grade from the foot Of the mountains to the
summit is but eighty feet to the mile while that of
many Eastern roads is over one hundred. Work
In the rockcuttlngs on the western slope will
continue through the winter, and there is now no
doubt that the entire grand line to the Pa

The means provided for the construction of this
Great National Work are ample. The United States
grants its Six Per Cent. Bonds at the rate of from

Bonds are issued as each twenty-ulile section is

depots, repair-shops, satols aud all the necessary

the Platte Valley among the most fertile In the
