the work upon the Union Pacific Railroad
whose advance during the winter months
will be constant, although, of course. less
rapid than in the better working days of
summer and fall. So much will be done,

ordered the continued issue of government

/ Union Pacific Railroad are for sale by De

/ crued interest. New illustrated pamphlet
