ii is, the coming year will doubtless ex-
ceed the ono just closing.
No department of business has been
touched without finding it greatly in
creased. In the mercantile trade there
is reported an increase of at least one
third over 1879
The banks uniformly state that their
business has increased so per cent. and is
still mounting upward.
These are but samples of all branches of
business. Everything touched upon
shows corresponding gain, or larger.
The city and her business men are SOL
vent and secure every advantage of this
solvency. No wholesale man has gone to
the wall. In fact the year 1880 shows no
failures of consequence in st. Paul, and
for years before, our business men were
SO strong that when others tottered and
fell they stood erect
The record herewith presented is a
document of which our people may well
be proud. No city of $4,000 inhabitants
can begin to compare with ST. Paul. She
has grasped the key of empire and stands
ready to keep pace with. the demands
upon her.

And a General Record of the Work

Tonight.

The GLOBE this morning presents its
Second Annual Review of the trade and
business af ST Paul. Our first publica-
tion of the kind was Dec 31st, 1879, and
now on a corresponding day we make up
the record of another year.
Eighteen hundred and eighty has been
exceptionally prosperous, so prosper
Gus that it is difficult to
keep pace with the growth and
progress made Enough is shown, how
ever, to forever settle the destiny of this
city as the commercial and business CEN
ter of the New Northwest The railway
improvements, which aggregate at least
a million and quarter within our cor
porate limits, show the estimate which
the shrewdest business men place upon
our future.
In making this general review of the
condition, operations and progress OF
these great railway corporations, which
have their headquarters in st. Paul, OF
have large interests here, there has been
recounted the building and opening in
1850 of 967 miles of new railroad and
preparations for building in 1881, 96e
miles additional 1t has been shown that
these companies, whose earnings depend
upon the growth and prosperity of Min
nesota and Dakota, have in 1880 largely
increased their earnings over those OF
1879 They have expended millions OF
dollars in the betterment and extension OF
theirroads and in improving their facilities
for transacting their growing st. Paul
business. Their plans of flu
ture cxten sions and improvements con-
template complete occupation of the vast
northwestern and western region to
which our city must look for its further
development and more complete connec-
tions of the city and State with all tho
great CoIllneTCldl IOutcS anu CcntcIS VI
the country. As large owners of tho
lands of the unoccupied Northwest ant
chiefly interested in their occupation ant
improvement, they appear as promoter,
of immigration, of business enterprises
and builders of communities, cities and
States
We make no excuse for devoting Sc
much space to these railroad enterprises
They give us our vitality and it is thei
iron arms extending out hundreds o
miles in every direction which brings Il
the lap of st. Paul the wealth of the mos
prosperous State in the country. Thei
advancement is marvellous, but great a

According to these estimates the dis
tances from Montreal river to Kalama
on the lower Columbia, or Tacoma on
Puget sound, will be about 2,042
miles; while the distance
from either ST. Paul or Duluth to either
Kalama or Tacoma, will be about ,946
miles-the statement above including as
parts of the main line what might be
termed terminal branches, from Thomson
to Duluth, Brainerd to St. Paul and the
Cascade Mountain DIVISION
OF the several divisions, the Minnesota,
Dakota and Pacific divisions and 81 miles
of the Cascade Mountain division, are
completed and in operation; the Missouri
and Pend d'Oreille divisions, the CasseI-
ton branch (431s miles, and II miles of
the Columbia river division are nearly
completed, the grading done and the ties,
rails, etc, having been provided These
will make up of completed lines to bc
operated during the next fiscal year,
.2341a miles. To complete the main
line system !, ,397 miles of road are yet TO be
constructed; but continuous line from
st. Paul and Duluth to either Tacoma or
Kalama may be provided by constructing
about 1860 miles, and an operating line
from these places (by connection
with the Oregon railway and navigation
company's iine) TO Pacific tide water may
be had by the construction of about $50
miles of road, being the Yellowstone,
Rocky Mountain and Clark S Fork divis-
ions. 1t is announced that the first cf-
forts of the company will be devoted for
the next two years to closing this central
gap of $40 miles; but in these days when
all the great railway companies are reach
ing for unoccupied territory as if they
anticipated the near approach of time
when the whole field of railway opera
tions would be appropriated, the
Northern Pacific company will have TO
guard its natural territory against en-
croachmcnts, by itself occupying
the whole of it as early as possible. To
do this it must, simultaneously
with The central part of its main line push
forward its Washington. and Oregon
lines 1t is also pledged by preliminary
agreement with other companies to pre-

division. And both the development and

From what is known of the average
yields of farms throughout the Northern
Pacific country, it appears moderate es-
innate to place their average wheat pro-
duct of 1850 at 20 bushels per acre, which
would make the total product of the
acreage included above, in Minnesota and
Dakota, 7,222, $40 bushels As appears
by the freight department returns the
amount of wheat of this crop shipped out
on the Northern Pacific, up to December
23d was 2,794. .050 bushels, the shipments
of eight days, Dec. 18th to Dec. 23d in
elusive, being 1,9Os carloads.
The company sells its lands on easy
terms to time buyers for improvement.
The average price of the sales of last
year was s2.6l per acre.

AN IMMENSE AREA.

Pending the negotiations for forming
the syndicate which has contracted to take
the first mortgage bonds of the Northern
Pacific company, it was asserted by one
of the capitalists enlisted in the scheme
that the mortgage would ultimately cover
not less than &c, ,G0O, 900 acres of land--an
acre for each dollar Of the loan. His esti-
mate was not extravagant. On the lines

structed new depot buildings at Aiken,
Gull River, Bluffton, Pcrham, Detroit,
Lake Park, Moorhcad, Tower City, San
born, jamestown and Eldridge; and also
six enlarged wells, with windmills and
frost proof tanks, each of 10000
gallons capacity. At Duluth
it has constructed 1000 feet additional of
dock and laid one and half miles of
dock and elevator tsack and two miles Of
side tracks for holding and making up
trains.
Under contracts with the company pri-
vate firms and individuals have built DUR
ing the year great elevator at Duluth,
having a capacity of 100000 bushels,
and line elevators at Verndale, Wadena,
Bluffton, Perham, Detroit, Audubon,
Lake Park, Hawley, Glyndon, Fargo,
Mapleton, Casselton, Wheatland, Tower
City, Valley City and jamestown, which
will average about 81, 900 bushels EACH
ST. PAUL IMPROVEMENTS
During the year 1880 somewhat over
half of the ten acres in ST. Paul devoted
to the company's freighting purposes has
been filled and new freight house erect
ed thereon, 40 feet long by 40 feet
wide. The remainder of the filling
will be completed during 1881, and
the company will build thereon its engine
house, small repair shops and fuel con-
veniences, besides laying tracks for hold
ing and making up trains. The erection
of building for the general offices of the
company, which was planned for 1880.
has been delayed en- account Of the i'm
possibility of adequately providing for all
the offices on the site originally selected,
(but which was excavated for the founda-
tions and basement,) at the corner of
Fourth and Wacouta streets Another
locality has now been. obtained which
affords ample space and allows every
room to be adapted to office work. The
new locality is the half block of ground
fronting on Broadway with Fourth and
Prince streets at the sides and an alley
in the rear, being 100 by 200 feet.
On this ground it is in
tended to erect this year a
building 6ox10o feet, three stories
high, calculated to accommodate all the
general offices, including the land and
express departments The work of pre-
pairing for the foundations of this build
ing will be begun carly in the year with
the intention of having the building fin
ished and occupied next winter
THE FUTURE MAIN LINE.
The Northern Pacific main line is di-
vided as follows, beginning at the eastern
point designated by the charter: The
Wisconsin division, from Montreal river
to Thomson; Minnesota division, Duluth
via Thomson and Brainerd to the Red
river, and st. Paul to Brainerd; Dakota
division, Red river to Missouri river;
Missouri division, Missouri river to Vel
lowstonc river; Yellowstone division, up
the Yellowstone valley TO last crossing of
that river; Rocky Mountain division,
from the Yellowstone to Clark's Fork,
west of the Rocky Noun
tains; Clark's Fork division
down the valley to Lake Pend d'Oreille;
Pend 'Oreille division from the lake to
Ainsworth on the Columbia river; Co.
lumbia river division, Ainsworth to Ka-
lama; and Cascade Mountain division
from Pend d OreilIc division to Tacoma.
The lengths of these divisions are as
follows:

ADDITIONS oF THE YEAR.

During the year 1850 the present man.
agement has built new lines as follows;
Eau Claire mill spur, miles; Menomonie
city spur, 5 miles; North Wisconsin ex-
tension, from Clayton to within J6 miles
of Bayfield,, being within 40 miles of Ash
land, 40 miles; South Saltwater TO Hud-

the county scat of Cook county, Dakota,
80 miles. In Nebraska, the old Coving-
ton, Columbus & Black Hills narrow
guagc road has been reconstructed at
standard gauge, its grades aud curves re-
duced, new bridges built and new track
laid Fifty-three miles of new road has
been built from point on the recon
structed road 10 miles out from Coving-
ton TO Oakland, the northern terminus of
tic former Omaha & Northern
Nebraska railroad, purchased within
the year and now forming part Of the
Sioux City and Omaha road of the St
st. Paul & Omaha line Besides these
completed roads, now in operation, a
road has been graded and is ready for
the track, from Emerson Junction "a
miles from Covington) to Norfolk, Ne
braska, distance of AZ miles. This
road will be opened early the coming sea-
son and will have running connections
at Norfolk with the two diverging wes-
terly branches Of the Sioux City & Pacific
company and with the Norfolk branch
of the Union Pacific. Within the year
also new roadbed has been constructed

as the company offers its agricultural

10 REPUBLICAN LEADER, not even
J0hn A. Logan, of Illinois, Is 80 un-
blu<hing demagogue as James 6.
Blaise He delivered speech ct Au-
gusla, the capital of his State, on
Wednesday Of last week, on the political
farce that two Governors and two Leg
isIatures have been playing there since
the 9TH of the present month, in which
he said that lone painful and appalling
feature in this remarkable political
tragedy is the unanimity of the support
it has received from the Democratic and
Greenback leaders Of Maine" What
Blaine calls political tragedy" was
she action OF Gov. Garcelon and his
Council in simply enforcing the election
. laws of Maine passed by Republican
Legislatures, not in the way that Re-
publican Governors hadsenforced them
that is to say, against Democrats only
and for the purpose of enabling Repub-
licans to reap the benefits of their de-
fects-but enforcing them impartially
against the members of all parties. 1t
turned out that the Republicans suffer
ed the most, but that was not Governor
Garcelon's fault, but the fault OF the
Republicans themselves who made the
! laws II is a refreshing thing to hear
Blaine declaiming about the painful
and appalling features of this Maine
! quarrel Didn't this same trimmer,
Blaine, as well az his colleague in the
Senate, old Hannibal Hamlin, aid and
assist in every possible way TO consum-
! mate the fraud which reversed a popular
majority for Tilden Of over two hundred
and fifty thousand, and nullifed the
entire vote of two States There was
! nothing "painful and appalling" in
/ Blaine's estimation, in sanctioning such
a gigantic fraud as that when he and
his political friends were to reap the
benefit of it, And now this ''plumed
I knight" " as Bob Ingersoll styled him, is
| panied and appalled, because a Demo-
cratic Governor and his Greenback
Council enforced the Maine election
laws enacted at various times by Repub-
lican Legislatures. Hypocrisy certainly
could not put on more brazen front.
