FROM the Philadelphia Press we
see that it is the intention of the
Northern Pacific Railroad Com
psny to commence work immedi-
ateIy on the West Division OF that
road, and push the work as fast as
possible. Two hundred and thirty
miles of road, il is asserted by the
company, will be completed this
year. The Press says the company
will devote its entire attention to
the West Division the coming year, |
considering it unwise under the
present hostile attitude of the In
dian tribes west Of the Missouri to
attempt to complete any great por-
tion Of the Eastern Division this
season. The company claims to be
in good financial condition, notwith- |
standing the many newspaper re-
ports to the contrary. 5...f
A Moutana paper says: "Fom
reliable information we learn that
the Northern Pacific Railroad Com
psny are making strenuous efforts
to continue their road from Bis
marck to the Yellowstone crossing.
All connected with that road are
lndustriously al work to put the
affairs of the company in a shape to
prosecute the work in the spring.
They feel great confidence in their
ability to raise the necessary means
70 keep on building the road. All
Interested are impressed with the ne
,essity Of extending it to Montana
1t the earliest moment possible, and
We are assured that in q very short
line the company will announce
he result OF present negotiations,
which they do not doubt will be
tightly successful"
