Remarkable Activity Of the
Sioux City r. R. Company
During the Past Season.

The year 1879 closes with a re-
markable exhibit of activity and ex.
tension of the lines of the above men-
toned company. They have, the
past season, consolidated the two
main lines of the road into one trunk
line, viz, The old st. p. & s. c. r.
R., l22 miles; the S. C. & St. p. r. R.,
l4S; and Worthington and Sioux Falls
r. R., 50; total of consolidation for
the year 1879, 800 miles. During the
past year they have constructed the
following branch lines: MankatO &
Blue Earth Branch, "a miles; Black
Hills Branch, A miles /; Rock River
Branch, % miles total l06 miles.
During the year, they have also pur-
chased the following roads, which
have been consolidated with, and be-
come an integral part of the trunk
line: The st. Paul & Saltwater r..
r. and Taylor's Falls R, R., "a miles;
Henderson & River Falls Il. r II
miles; Coveington, Columbus & Black
Hills r. R., 20 miles; Omaha &
Northern Nebraska, SO miles total
lbs miles Of purchases. This gives
now a grand total of $50 miles of road
now known as the st. Paul & Sioux
City r. Il. 1t rises, at once, to the
proportions and Importance of great
trunk line. No such remarkable
activity has been shown elsewhere, in
the West, as y manifest by the
achievements of this company dur
ing the year. 1t has in a
single season, become a grand trunk
line, with feeders of its own, showing
. degree of prosperity and healthy
growth for itself, and contributing
largely to the development of new
and fertile districts of the State. 1t
deserves well Of the state and its
management are disposed to be liber-
al and fair, and we cordially wish
them prosperity.

of those of us who first trOd this vir-

wealth of Minnesota, they will bring
imperial power and prosperity when
our bones are mingled with that soil,
to which, in youth, we anchored our
faith and hope. This is not only the
empire of Bread, but it is the empire
Of Free Thought, Free Schools. Free
Suffrage and Protected Liberty; and
these, like an unseen energy, will cut
and carve, and mould and fashion,
these wonderful physical forces into
the highest and most polished forms

liment of England recognized our sur
passing greatness, when she sent her
royal commissioners hither, to see
what latent powers were present in a
State of but yesterday, that could, at
one bound, eclipse Britain's thousand
years of effort. The empire in and
around Minnesota, concerns England
more than the empire of India. Like
Jacobs children, they must for the
future of this generation, come down
into our Egypt for corn.
