Anear the parallel Of 80 degrees, OR seven de-
3grees above its true terminus.

{ road such a terminus ON the Mississippi river

Atary to the northern cities; but for the purpose
ssof guaranteeing this result beyond doubt, OF
this consolidated road is to be
CONSTRUCTED on the same gauge with that OF
ali the northern roads east OF the Mississippi,

You know, sir. that nearly all the roads Of

northern Pacific railroads which were intended

that the road which is to be bnilt on the 32d
