NORTHERN PACIFIC r. n.
No Choice Yet Made Between Helena and Deer
... Lodge Pass.

From the annual report Of President Bill
iings, of the Northern Pacific Railroad, We
make the following interesting extracts:
The gap between the Missouri and the
Pen P0reille divisions, in the heart Of the
continent, consists Of the Yellowstone divis-
ion estimated at $40 miles the Rocky Noun
tain division, estimated at 1913 miles, and the
Clafke's Fork division, estimated at S2 miles.
Total, $40 miles.
The Yellowstone division extends from the
mouth of Glendive creek to the mouth of the
Shields river, at the eastern base Of the Belt
mountains. In February last Colonel j. T..
Dodge, an engineer of much experience, was
sent out to examine the bluff banks of the
Yellowstone when the river was closed by
General Anderson, the engineer in charge,
writes: 1t was supposed that great difficulties
involving extraordinary expense to surmount
or compelling the construction of several
bridges over the river would be encountered
in passing the bluffs of the Yellowstone.
with, most of the work will be very light
and the really difficult points prove less for
midable and less costly than was anticipated
The surveys have not yet fully developed
whether the line viii run all the way on the
side and partly ON the other; but it is now
believed that IL will not be necessary to cross
to the north side until near the mouth of the
Big Horn river, rs miles from Glendive
Creek. stoE-5a s.gi.s j s.e.gs# > f# 49,
The Rocky Mountain division, about 200
miles, Includes the crossing Of the Belt Noun
tatB, between the Yellowstone and Missouri
rivers and the main range of the Rocky
Mountains. ~
It Is not yet settled whether the route will
be by the Deer Lodge pass or by the way Of
Helena The examination of the passes Is
already under way. II will probably require
the ansire season Of 1881 todetermine the best
route and make the final location. ..'

long, in the valley of Clarke's Fork of the
Columbia river. Is definitely marked out by

It is of the utmost Importance to push the
the road up the Yellowstone. The distance
to Miles City, near Fort Keogh, is 7st miles ;
from there to the Big Horn river--where
probably the Yellowstone will be crossed

Making Inaugural Preparations

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE Inaugural
ton Of General Garfield promises to exceed
in some features any similar event in this
city. Even now inquiries are coming in
from all sections as to Accommodations for Or
organized bodies, among them the tenth bri-
gade Of National Guards of Pennsylvania.
The new National Museum building in the
Smithsonian Institute grounds has been Sc
cured for the inaugural. 1t is the intention
of the committee of arrangements to ask
Congress for 1000 hospital tents to be placed
in the Washington monument grounds for
the accommodation of visiting military organi-
zations. These will quarter 10000 men.

Gen. Sherman Prefera ST. Louis.

NEW YORK, November 13.-The Tribune's
Washington special says: In conversation
with your correspondent yesterday, a we'll
informed army officer said that, in his opin-
ion, Sherman would soon carry out the pur-
pose he indicated last year. Sherman has
always expressed a preference for st. Louis
as place of residence, and it is broadly
limited by military men that Sherman's st.
Louis preference has been greatly strength
ened by the result of the recent elections
1t Is common talk among many officers That
the defeat of Hancock caused Sherman great
disappointment and regret. One officer of
rank remarked to-day that he was informed
that Sherman east his vote for Hancock in
