The Northern Pacific Rail
road,

l. ulo oNSOiN IL q VIZ
the continent is now in full
process of construction. Last
July contracts were let for
building the Eastern division,
reaching across the State of
Minnesota from Duluth, at the
head of Lake Superior, 24O
miles to the crossing of the
Red River of the North
With several thousand men
employed the grading on this
section is fast approaching
completion, and the iron is be-
ing laid at the rate of one or
two miles a day, In the mean
time engineers are locating tbe
line westward through central
Dakota; preparations are COM
pleted for the commencement
of work at the Pacific end next
spring, and thereafter the work
of construction will be prose
cuted from both extremities to.
ward the centre.
In addition to this, the
Northern Pacific Company
have recently purchased and
practically consolidated with
their own line the st. Paul and
Pacific Railroad, embracing
some 300 miles Of finished road
in Minnesota on which a pros
porous business is already do
ing. This purchase removes
all rivalry between conflicting
interests, and practically makes
St. Paul one terminus Of the
great Northern road. The
Northern Pacific Railroad sys,
tenn is certainly assuming a
business-like form, and com,
prehensive proportions. Oh
viously its projectors do not in
tend to build a simple trunk
road from East to West and
then wait for a profitable traf-
fic to come to it. On the con-
trary, they are at the outset Sc
curing such connections and
alliances with the chief lines of
water communication, and with
the railroad syrtem of the At
lantic and Pacific States, as can
not fail to bring to it, in addi-
tion to its local business, a
large and increasing share of
the carrying trade between
ocean and ocean. At Duluth
one arm meets the commerce of
the Lakes and the st. Law
renee; at st. Paul the other
eastern arm connects with the
commerce Of the Mississippi
river and its tributaries, and
with the railroads Of the CEN
tral::and eastern States, concen-
trating at Chicago. These two
arms will unite in Western
Minnesota. From the point Of
junction a third branch will eX-
tend to Pembina on the Brit
ish border, and the trunk line
will traverse central Dakota,
and follow the now famous
Yellowstone valley through |
Montana. Near the boundary
of Idaho the road will again
branch-one arm following
down the valley Of the Colum-
bia to tide,water at Portland,
Oregon; the other striking di-
rectly across the Cascade range
to the main terminus on Puget
Sound. A N orth and South
branch will also connect the
Puget Sound terminus with
that rt Portland. At the lat
ter point connection is made
with the coast lines Of road
now building southwark
through Oregon and California.
Both at Portland and Puget
Sound the road will tap the
