The Northeun Pacific.

The Norshern Pacific.
It has been the fashion Of the press of
the country, taking cue largely from pa
pers published at Chicago and other
points having an intensely hostile inter-
est at stake, to cry down the Northern
Pacific railroad scheme as a humbug.
Especially has this been the case since
the failure of Jay Cooke s. Co. precipita-
ted millions of dollars of Its bonds upon
a depressed market, involving serious
loss to many of its confding investors
The Northern Pacific has been joined
with Credit Mobilier, Pacific Mail subsi-
dy, and other humbugs and swindles of
the flush era succeeding the war, and has
been used, with them to point moral
and adorn tale, whenever sample OF
horrid villainy was needed.
But a change is coming. The big
wheat crops of Minnesota are opening
the eyes Of the country to many facts
heretofore seriously obscured. The
grand enterprise of Mr.. Oliver Dalrym-
pie and associates, in opening extensive
farms along the line, and their splendid
success with this years crop has been a
wonderful revelation to thousands Of our
Eastern brethren. Already the press Of
the older states is SHOWING signs of return
ing reason, The following from the Al
legheny, Penn, Evening Mail, is sam
pie of many utterances which we lave
noted recently.
We have word Of caution to holders
of Northern Pacific railroad bonds, which
we desire in all candor to offer tor their
consideration. The latest information
concerning the Northern Pacific and the
country and lands through which it runs
is of the most assuring and gratifying
character. The Mail has always asserted
that the investment III these securities
was safe and would ultimately prove pro-
fitable We have Just had an interview
with Theodore N. Nevin, Esq, Presl-
dent of the First National Bank OF this
city, one of our most successful and en-
! terprising business men, who has just re-
turned from thorough inspection of the
road as far as completed, extending to
Bismarck, D. T., Its present terminus.
whose testimony fully confirms all that
has been said in its favor in these coli
umns. He speaks in the most fattering
terms of the character of the soil along
the line, of the road and the delightful
climate and advantages of the country.
| He re;terates what we have learned from
our own observations that for depth,
richness and fertility the land is unsur-
passed by that of any other on the conti-
nent We have no hesitation IN declar-
ing as our opinion that just as certain as
the earth revolves on its axis 50 surely
will the Northern Pacific railroad be
found to pass through the garden spot of
America. Persons holding the bonds Of
this company would find it to their inter
est to have an interview with MIR. Nevln,
and ascertain the opinions OF one whose
i intelligence and sagaclty entltle them 70
deliberate consideration. Our advice,
which can be takeIl for what 1t is worth
to all holders Of Northern Pacific bonds,
is to hold on to them; or IN case they are
disposed to part with them, do not sacr1-
flee them. Time and patience Will bring
all things right.
Fortunately for us, self-Interest comes
in to supplement the good work of secu-
ring Justice to our maligned and misun-
dersood tributary region. Every one Of
these Northern Pacific bonds, is an I'M
migration document for Minnesota ard
Dakota. Its owner has living interest
in all that pertains to this country. He
eagerly scans the crop reports; he thirsts
for information; he seeks it, and now
finds it to his liking; he spreads it, and
has pecuniary interest in making other
men believe it. He becomes an enthusI-
astic, willing, and jealous missionary.
His little thousand dollar bond, is good
for thl ee or four hundrrd acres of land.
If he can make himself and his neighbors
L. az L.
ly productive, worth five dollors an acre
and soon to be worth fifty, his assets
swell in proportion-he is rich and hap
py man. Thus the wide dissemination Of
these bonds through the country, which
in the days of our darkness and gloom
was such calamity to this region, will,
now that the better days have come,
prove general blessing. When an Eas-
tern newspaper advises ITS readers to hold
their Northern Pacific bonds. and to go
and interview prominent citizen who
has just returned from trip over the
road, that their hearts may be cheered
we may feel that we are near turn IN
the long lane that seemed endless.-Sk.
