A citizen of Toledo. in the ordinary
current of business, became posscssor

The note becoming due. he took it to
the party and presented 1t for payment.
The man was not prepared to liquidate

the conditions settled properly, he was
turning to leave. when the German said ::

Governors Message.


O0ncIen2ed from last ,seek.
"For nearly quarter OF century,
our people have been looking forward
with anxious solicitude for the compile
ton of a railroad from the waters of
Puget Sound TO Lake Superior. The
route for such road was surveyed by
the first Governor of this Territory, Gen.
Isaac l. Stevens, during the year 1863
On the second day of July, 1864, char
ter was granted by Congress to the
Northern Paclfc Railroad Company TO
build railroad from some point on
Lake Superior in the state of Wisconsin
or Minnesota in westerly direction To
some point on Puget Sound, with a
branch via of the valley Of the Colum-
bia River to point Mt or near Portland
in the state of Oregon. by an amend
ment to the charter, approved May, l.,
1870, the Company wns authorized to
construct its main road to some point
ON Puget Sound via the valley of the
Columbia River, with the right to con
struct branch from some convenient
point on its main line across the Cascade
mountains, to some point on Puget
Sound. To enable the Company to con-
struct its main line and branch, mu-
nlficent grant OF hand was made to it,
amounting to 60,000000 acres of land,
the estimate value OF wOich has been
stated by the Company to be $t5O,000,
600. More than thirteen years have
elapsed since that charter was granted

At the present time only 555 miles of
the road has been completed; 450 IN the
Eastern division, and 105 in the West
ern. It's unnecessary to refer to the
many causes which have operated to de-
lay the completion OF this road. II mis-
takes have been made, VIC can at least
entertain the hope that in the future,
governed by the experience of the past
they may be avoided. During the first
session of the last Congress, bill was
introduced into the Senate, granting an
extension of ten years time for the com q.
pletion ofthe road. 1t was subsequent
Y amended by confning the extension,
to the main line. At that time the
opinion generally prevailed that the
Company had abandoned the project of
building the branch across the morn.
