MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 9th, 1878.-The directors
of the Rochester & State Line railway having
accepted the invitation rendered by Col. Will
liam 8. King, president, and the associate man
ayers of the Northwestern Agricultural and
Mechanical association to attend their exposi-
tion at Minneapolis, desire, on their departure
for the East, to extend their thanks to the asso-
| citation for numerous courtesies extended them,
and to congratulate it, not only upon the num-
bers in attendance and the gratifying pecuniary
results obtained, but also upon the extent,
variety and excellence of the exposition itself,
attesting, as it did, the energy and enterprise
OF the people and revealing the wondrous re-
sources of the Northwest and prophesying the
more magnificent future that awaits it.
The directors having further been rendered
by the officers of the Northern Pacific railroad
a trip to Bismarck, desire to express their obi
CATIONS to them for the constant facilities af.
forded for observing everything of interest on
the route aud for the ABUNDANT opportunities
they enjoyed of forming careful estimates of
the vast grain producing region which they
traversed. Nothing was neglected that could
cOnduce to their convenience or their comfort.
They are thoroughly impressed with the inn
portance of extending this great line of travel
and traffic to the Pacific slope, not only on ac-
count of it's bearing upon the development of
the immense region in which it will be directly
tributary, but also upon the commerce and in
dustrIes OF the country and the
that Congress will, at its next session,
take such action in regard to extending the
time for the completion of the Northern Pacific
railroad as is required to assure capitalists and
inventors that no advantage will be taken by
the government by reason of the unavoidable
delay in the construction of this road. thereby
in. uring the early s'completion of this impor-
tant thoroughfare and enable the country to
realize the great advantages therefrom. The
directors wish also to thank the Northwes tern
kindness extended at Bismarck, and regret ex-
ceedingly that home engagements preclude
the acceptance of its proffer of visit to the
Black Hills. The directors further
desire to express their obligations
to the officers of the St. Paul 4
Duluth railroad for the passage from Duluth
to Minneapolis, and generally to the citizens of
| Minneapolis. St. Paul and other places included
in their Western excursion for their unstinted
Inequalities SO characteristic of the Western
heart and to assure them that their Western
tour will be long remembered, and they trust
has laid the foundation of more intimate social
and business relations with them than have
heretofore been enjoyed.
