The General in bis journey from Helena
had experienced what most people would con
slider rough time. A stage-ride of 500
miles in winter naturally could not afford q
man vast deal of pleasure. He reports
that be encountered considerable snow on
the higher slopes, but the valleys were dry
and unpleasantly dusty. Work on the Boze-
man extension will be commenced Immedia-
tely, and the last 200 miles of the road from
Lake Superior to Bismarck, which has not
been in operation during the winter seasons,
on account Of the frequent -blockades,
will be Immediately placed in running order,
and trains will be run regularly hereafter.
From the st. Paul Pioneer-Press, FEB Is
The gratifying news was received in this
city yesterday that orders had been received
from President c. B. Wright, of the North
ern Pacific railroad, to proceed at once with
the work of opening that road for travel be-
tween Fargo and Bismarck. Instructions to
this effect were transmitted to Superintend-
ent Towne, at Brainerd, and the latter will
commence without delay to carry out the
wishes of the president, BY collecting the
necessary force of men for that duty. 1t is
not known what obstacles are to be encoun-
tered, or whether the heavy snow storm of
SUNDAY NAV nave increased tn6 QllncultleS,
but it is believed that if nothing worse than
the ordinary Instructions are to be removed,
the road will be clear in the course of a week,
or by the first of March, in any event.
Should these hopes be realized, the rush to
the Black Hills, by way of Bismarck will be
very great, for it is generally conceded that
this is by all odds the best route to the gold
fields Gen Custer and other parties will
start west as soon as the cars are in motion.
Dispatches were also received from Chica
go, announcing that the Legislature of Mon
tana had voted almost unanimously a subsi-
dy of three millions OF dollars to the North
ern Pacific road, and that the directors of the
company, had decided TO resume work on the
extension of the line westward from BIS
marck early in the spring. The route has
been surveyed and staked from the Missouri
to the Yellowstone, and it is confidently be-
ieved that the road will be carried into Mon
tana during the present year This is cheer
ing news and it is believed to be perfectly
reliable.

In accordance with the notice
which appeared in last weeks TIMES
quite a number of our citizens as.
sembled at the Conrt House on
Tuesday evening to talk over mat
tiers concerning annexation and
compromise. No action of any sort
was taken, the meeting being called
simply to have a "friendly talk
and to compare views with one an
other. The prevailing sentiment
however, seemed to be that it i,
not best at the present time to en-
terrain any propositions whatever
looking towards annexation or com
promise, and as THE TIMES is, snd
has been, inclined to that opinion
we let the matter drop.

ticles from The Brainerd Tribune,

of the proposition of the Northern

extension. This is glorious news
for the n. P. country, and will no
doubt tend to greatly revive busi-
ness at the head of the lake.

The Circuit Judgeship.

| Below we publish call from q
large number flour citizens, request
ing Judge Clough to be a candi-
date for reelection at the approach
ing April election also Judge
Clough's reply
We are pleased that this move
ment to bring Judge Clough out as
candidate has taken place, as we
believe there is not a gentleman
IN the circuit more worthy of the
office, or as capable of filing it, as
is Judge G. He has already served
the circuit two terms upon the
bench, and during that whofe
period his decisions have always
been just and impartial, and very
generally given satisfaction.
Added to this, the superiority of
his legal attainments over those of
any gentleman in the circuit, is un-
doubted, while his reputation for
frmness and integrity is unques-
toned.
Following are the call and re-

From the Brainerd Tribune
We give below this week, the full text OF
the Memorial to the Montana Legislature OF
Vice President Stark and Chief Engineer
". u, Roberts, Of the Northern Pacific Rail
road, who went last month to Montana for
the purpose of securing a loan from that
Territory for the extension of the road into
their borders, as more fully st forth in the
memorial
The prospects of their success have been
good from the very first, owing partly to the
very feasible proposition of the company to
the Territory and partly to the strong desire
of the people of the Territory for railroad,
and last evening the report reached here that
Montana had accepted the proposition of
the company in full. The report received is
not official, but is vet quite authentic, and at
the hour of going to press is not successfully
contradicted, and we feel justified in calling
it reliable
Tits is certainly good news to this section,
not entirely undeserved by those who have
stuck ts the road through the dark years that
have overshadowed i.slnce the failure of j.
Cooke & Co., maintaining faith in its future
thr ough ell, though at times against hope.
Hurrah for the Northern Pacific against the
world, after all!

We beg leave to Suggestion your consider
alton, plan under whIca you can extend the
helping hand TO this great enterprise and put
It's wheels III motion, without giving subsidy
and without taxation, either for interest or
principal. And we now offer ia behalf of
our company, to construct our road from
bismarck TO your eastern border, and to rail
and operate SO much road as YOU will furnish
Us bonds to grade and bridge and tie not
less than two hundred miles, in continuation
OF the same. The work to be commenced
next spring and completed in two years.
We propose that you should issue for this
| purpose, two millions of Territorial bonds,
bearing interest at the rate of eight per
cent. per annum, payable semi-annually, and
matdrInS III twenty-five years. And that
both interest and principal be secured by a
lien upon the traffic of the road to and from
Montana, the interest to be paid by the
railroad Company out of such gross receipts,
and such further sum to be paid out of said
receipts, semi annually, ard placed in trust
as will, with accruing interest, constitute a
sinking fund sufficient to pay the bonds at
maturity. One hundred and sixty thousand
dollars per annum will create q sinking fund
ample for the final redemsion. Thus two
hundred thousand dollars per annum or about
twenty per cent Of your present freight bills,
would be ample to secure you, on interest
and principal, without any taxation whatever.
The security is your own, and must be good
as long as you do even the present limited
business OF the Territory and by this sim
pie loan of your credit, and assurance of
your support, you open channel of commu-
nication which is absolutely certain TO in-
crease your production, and your consequent
security, an hundred fold.
Having thus briefly presented the ground
work of our proposal, we hold ourselves in
readiness TO confer with you upon details, or
to make full explanations, or to conclude
contracts at your pleasure.
