Chief Engineer Roberts Of the Moth
en Pacific road, has carefully studied
the western snow problem during the
past three years, and in a recent report
he sums up his conclusions in this SEN
tenee with ordinary means of pro-
lection at exposed points, the Northern
Pacific railroad, when completed by the
Yellowstone route, can unquestionably
be kept open for regular traffic its en-
tire length across the continent, even
during winters as severe as the pres
cut, shouid they occur" He further
says, abiding TO mass Of testimony
from Montana;
These very favorable reports, dur
ing winter Of unprecedented severity,
cover the most elevated and mountain
Gus portions Of our line, where obstruc-
tons from snow would occur if any
where on the route and when it is
remembered that the Instructions on
the Union Pacific have been virtually
confined TO a section OF 1870 miles, eve.

higher than the highest summit on the
northern route, and most of which il

Northern Pacific line, it becomes per
fectly safe to predict for the latter as
