The Northern Pacific Il. r..

There seems no longer to be a
doubt Of the building, Of the North
eTn Pacific Railroad, and that too,
within the next five or six years
II will run from Lake Superior ia
Puget Sound, through Minnesota,
Oak ota, Montana, Idaho. Southern
Oregon and Southern Washington.
Work will lie commenced next year
on the Pacific, and the next year or
two, will see it all under contract.
1t has been thought that this road
was too far north to be practical, but
il is said the line of the route has an
elevation, some 5000 feet less than
the Union Pacific route, and that
this more than cOmrensatcs, for the
difference in latitude. The compile
ton of the road is fixed fact. The
land grant made to it by Congress il
For every mile Of fin
ished track the company will receive
%, 600 acres. The whole distance
will probably be 1000 miles, making
the grant nearly 5000 900 acres
The bonds ofthe company are sccur-
ed 10y q mortgage on these lands
This grant has been supplemented
by an equal donation for branch
Never before has such grant OF land
been made by C0ugreSs, audit il not
possible or probable, that surh al cN
travagant donation viii ever be made
again.

Business PROSPECTS i'm the West.

Many Of the leading Eastern jour
nails, since the beginning of the year,
have been gloomy with editorials
taking n responding view of the
general business prospects of the
country. Their sepuichraE tones have
undoubtedly been more or less in-
duced by the appalling crash of the
firm of Oakes Ames, Of Boston, and
the supplemental failures in many
other places. But that dire calamity
is over. Its evil effects have already
been fully discounted by the business
community, and the currency pulse
of Wall street even now plays easily
and freely The commercial world
has encOunt red far worse times in
the past five years than they are like
ly to encounter in the near future,
and the business man who does his
share towards keeping the wheels of
commerce aud industry in motion,
thus making money plenty by its
constant and rapid distribution, and
infusing thrift, steadiness and cheer
fulne=s throughout all departments
OF trade, is certainly discharSiug all
Important duty.
FIRE In the West the prospect
scarcely ever was better. For thOus-
ands and thousands Of miles our rail
roads now extend their network in
all directions Throughout this vast
depository of agricultural aud miner
al wealth. They traver>" lis richest
valleys, climb it's steepest mIunt>ins
and reach across its hrOadest rivers,
binding it's vast arabic areas in ol.H
grand organization which is increas
ing more rapidly in wealth, power,
and productive force than any other
portion of the Union or Of the globe.
Fear not. Activity and prosperity
will characterize the West during
1871. We are rich in grain, in cattle,
pork, sheep, wool, dc. And there
is every reason to believe that the ex
port demand for our products will
very soon be greatly augmented.
The European war now in progress
cannot be of inlerminable duration,
and the moment 1t cease both bread
stuffS and cotton will advance, aud
the market for both receive All un.
usual impetus. Activity i'm the cot
ton and bread stuffs trade insures life
and vigOr to every branch Of industry.
The Southern planter will buy freely
aud pay promptly. The Northern
farmer will bring in his produce and
the money it is worth will he put in.
to active circulation. Thus energy
and prosperity will he assured. and
the year 1871 will, without doubt, be
