CONCLUDING REMARKS.
All the lines of the Chicago and
North Western Railway system pass
through the very best known farming
lands in the world. Nowhere upon the
globe does the harvest yield more
bountifully than in Illinois, Wisconsin,
Iowa, Minnesota, and Michigan. The
very best portions OF these great States
are reached by the North Western. -
Every mile Of every line operated by
the company is frst-class. Tho rich
copper and silver deposits Of Michigan
and Northern Wisconsin are also trib-
utary to this road, as are the lead mines
of Southern Wisconsin and Illinois and
the coal deposits Of Iowa. The North
Western is also favored in its connec-
tions. A large share of the freightage
and traffic OF the Pacific Coast, OF the
Western Territories, of the British
Possessions, and of the lands beyond
the Pacific, havef necessarily to pass
over some one of the lines OF the Chi
cago 6 North Western Railway, on
their way to the Atlantic seaboard.
A word as to the management and
equipment of the road. The best evil
dence of the excellence Of the manage
ment is the fact that its trains are al
ways on time, and its cars well filed,
and rs TO the equipment. the many un-
solicited kindly expressions which the
road has ever received, and is continu-
ing to receive regarding the smooth
ness OF track, the superior construc-
ton and elegance of cars, is fair indi-
cation of the drift OF public opinion.
One of the most important features
connected with comfortable travelling
is the establishing of good eating
houses at convenient distances along
the line. This fact which many rail-
road companies have entirely over
looked, the North Western Company
evidently fully understood, for no 9TH
er road in the West, long or short, can
compare with the Northwestern in
this respect. Any one who has done
much travelling in the West will assur-
edly bear out the writer in tins asser-
tion.
