The North Pacific Observation-Disclosures
Management = Complications and Obliga'

constantly since the day OF John Jacob
Astor to the present time, and is now view
ed with greater solicitude by the civillza-
ton of the north temperate zone, and COM
merce, than any war operations on the little
continent between a William and Louis.
In fact one Of the questions now before the
fuaaa dealers, is shall we lend money to
Prussia and France to aid in killing French
men and Germans and stop the North Pa
-yganyys sustain the latter and merely tur-
nish lint and cease to shed blood?
The European war, checking the easy
fund market, has called out investigation
into the management and construction of
this railway, both by the Directory and
populace; all we know of the former is that
they have inaugnrated a system Of Japan
eSe espionage upon each other; that each
other OF the directors engineers, contract
ors and rings with all his cousins and CO.
zens is in great CONSERVATION, and, like the
bat afraid of daylight. But with what the
populace say and think we are better ac-
quainted.
undenable information, it is well known
tlat u practicable railroad route exists
within ten miles Of an air line from the head
OF Lake Superior, to Georgetown on Red
River; and more, an air line from the head
Of Lake Superior to the North bend of the
Missouri River, n tired locality on the route,
passes so near to Georgetown that the dl
rectnesS Of the line cannot be questioned
when diverted through the latter place.
Under this knowledge of facts the intell-
gent "popuace" of this region were not
only surprised but indignant to learn that
under the dctation Of town site rings, land
gobb!lng cliques or power holders cousins
-cozens, the route was being detected
4 hundred miles south of the legit-
innate track to subscrvc thc cliqucs and
rings cozened interests; be these expe-
tiyes true or not the detection charged is
nevertheless patent.
The "popuIace' of this region, educated
III woods craft and the constitution, sAgAt-
" believe that the North Pacific railroad
Company is composed of a few gentlemen,
however wealthy in side pockets are
entirely deficient in both capital and credit
to build and equip the road; hence Con
gresS, Knowing rs much, at least, the
populace, and relying upon the honesty of
their corporatons-a aoh0m congress, ere
atcd, did pledge of the property of the peo
pie twenty-five thousand acres of selected
lands for each and every mile of railway
honestly constructed upon the "people's
line" of the North Pacific Railway route.
And i'll consideration of the solid character
of the corporators, stockholders and their
accredited reputation, Congress and Gen.
Grant authorized the gentlemanly corpora
tors, directors and company to increase
American debentures a hundred millions;
that is to say congress and the President
permit and desire that Hamburg, London
and Amsterdam gold holders shall cash the
North Pacific Company's bonds secured by
mortgage upon the American peoples
lands, lands which our common treasury
has acquired by treaties and annuities
The populace, therefore, claim and main
tam that the corporators, president, Girec-
tors, engineers and contractors are but the
creatures of the exponent, congress; and
by this truth the Company must govern
their actions and beware of the espionage
of the people much more than that of the
ring tickle-me- and ,I-tickle-y you espionage of
Watchers
In view of the above most tenable asser-
tions of right, law, and composition we add
for the consideration of the rings, land,
town site, contractors and financial agents,
few facts and the inevitable legal and un-
avoidablc results.
The North Pacific Company and rings
have, through the aid and countenance ot
Mnnesota's St. Paul and Lake Superior
Railroad Company, attempted to make their
final and tor dUtinle-tern.iHuS on a quarter
section Of town lots, some seven mile:
ADORE the mouth or entry of the St. Loui:
river; this lower seven miles Of the St
Louis wiCiens out a mile wide and is tn
HARBoR of and at the western most end o
: the Great Lakes-equally Wisconsin's an(
MInnesota's. The North Pacific Compan,
unadvisedly or through composition b,
land rings, have become a party in q pro
ject to cut a canal, at the head of the abov
seven miles, through to the open Lake, b
