The NORTHERN PACIFIC IN GREAT BRITAIN
The people of Great Britain find in the Northern
Pacific railway not only profitable and desirable
field for investment, but powerful agency for the
consolidation and development of their colonial
possessions, extending from Halifax to the Pacific
Ocean, and for the maintenance of their trade with
the far east. Below are given brief extracts from
recent articles in leading British journals which in
dictate the cordial good will extended to the enter
prise by the English public:
'The whole area of England and Scotland is
about ftYseven million acres, and that of England
scotland and Ireland Is about seventy-fva millions;
so that the territory given by the American govern
ment to the Northern Pacific railroad comp9nv OK
ceeds that OF Great Britain by three millions of
acres and is only fifteen millions of acres less than
the whole united kingdom. Our interest in
this particular American enterprise arises from the
circumstance that it appears to open up to US por-
ton of Cur own dOminiOns which have hitherto
been almost inaccessible. in short, from the
eastern to the western terminus of the line the
line the route of this road trayerses region most
desirable tor settlement and rich in resources whose
development VIII be almost as profitable to British
as to American interests. "-L0nd0R Morning Post
Our American cousins are given to acting while
we are Debating and planning. in the recent com
petion OF the Northern Pacinc railway across the
state OF minnesota, another stride has been taken in
that path which has for Its goal the rendering ac-
cessibe to industry and civilization every available
portion OF the globe. What has already bnpn oe-
compished IN the completion of the Minnesota di-
vision Of the Northern Pacific road is OF Immense
Importance in furnishing access to an outlet for
Manitoba and other British provinces in the north
west.
This great work has commenced under the most
favorable auspices, not alone in commercial but
in an international sense. Ii by the time the con

''rhe importance of the Northern Pacific line has
been acknowledged BY the United States govern
ment by endowlng the company with the largest
land grant ever made for any public work in the
United States The value of the property
possessed by the company is und0ubted; and the
bonds Will, we have every reason to believe become
q myorite source OF investment, not only in the
United States, but on this side of the Atlantic
where despite one or two exeeptions) American
railway securities are rapidly growing in public es-
eve may add that glance at the names of the
directors of the Northern Pacific company shows
that the management Is in the hands of gentlemen
