General Manager Sargent's Talk With q
Chicago Reporter.

General Manager Sargent's Talk With q
Chicago Reporter.
Mr.. H. E. Sargent, general manager Of the
Northern Pacific railroad, was in Chicago the
other day, and while there was waited upon
by member of the Tribune reportorial
corps, to whom was vouchsafed brief inter
view, resulting in the following:
MIR. 81. E. Sargent, general manager of the
Northern Pacific railroad. was in the city yes
for his road. Mr.. Sargent stated to Tribune
r.porter that contract has just been awarded
t, Walker Bros. d Co. to build an extension
from Bismarck west 100 miles. This brings
the road to within twenty five miles of the
Little Missouri, amt half way to the Yellow
stone river from. Bismarck. The company is
making resurvey of the 100 miles of road
this side of the Yellowstone with the in.entiou
OF making connection at the mouth of the
Powder river. They have also succeeded in get
ting across the Missouri river on the ice the
material for about thirty miles of road. Eleven
thousand tons of steel rails have teen pur-
chased and will be laid during the coming sum-
mer. There are good prospe Its of large in
crease of business. Tue acreage under cnltiva-
tion will be about double that of last year.
The bill befo.e Congress to extend the time for
the completion Of the road, and thus secure the
land grant under the original act, would no
doubt be passed. A majority of both houses
Of Congress i. said to be strongly in favor of
the measure, but it has thus far been delayed
on account of the pressure of more important
business. The completion of this road, Mr..
