The last rail of this important road was laid on the
establishing connection between st. Paul and ST.
Louis 80 miles shorter than any existing route and IS
miles shorter than any contemplated route between
the same points.
By this line 80 the distance from Chicago to the
great grain fields of Minnesota is shortened As miles,
cheapened The First Mortgage Bonos assume
therefore at once the completion of the line
position equal IN intrinsic value to those Of the Fort
any other First Mortgage Bonds OF completed trunk
lines-not one OF which sell below par.
The B., G. r. q N: Bonds are a First Mortgage,
amounting only to $20,C00 per mile line OF road

been supplied by liberal subscriptions to the stock at
par made by wealthy farmers and parties interested
along the line, and by similar subscriptions on the

PASSES, which have adopted this system Of giving
Bonds.
The earnings of the Road in Its incomplete state,
have been for the past three months in of 70
