A Great Corporation.

That recognized authority-The
Railway Age says in late issue:
The Chicago, Milwaukee and St.
Paul company, by recent consolida-
tions and extensions, has increased its
mileage to the immense total of 5000
miles. or about one twenty-ffth of the
entire mileage of the country This
places it at the head Of all railway
companies in the world, in respect to
extent of miles operated by a single
body of General Officers"
This is simply astonishing. but since
The Ages statement was made the
Company has added to its length
until now it actually owns and operates
nearly 1000 miles of continuous
track. Such rapid strides are but the
advance of Improvement and in max
ing them, the Chicago. Milwaukee &
St. Paul Company aud its manage
ment, awakens
THE ADMIRATION OF THE WORLD.
In these four thousand miles are EN-
braced three different routes, with
three daily trains each way between
Chicago, St. Paul and Minneapolis to
and from which points the road is the
only unbroken line. Certain it is, no
other road or roads reaches, and by so
direct route, as many of the great
summer resorts of the Northwest
The fact is also established that no
other company owns as many miles of
road in Dakota, and no road reaches
as many of that Tcrritory's principal
cities, while with its immense system
it penetrates more localities in Mime
sofa, Iowa and Dakota, where the
cheapest and choicest farming lands
ale found, the SOL of which is not sur
passed for general productiveness
Every person who has travelled owe,
the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul
Road will heartily endorse the follow
ing from a CORES oondent
OF A PROMINENT INDIANA DAILY:
Il have travelled, he remarks, 'over
the great railways of this country,
and do not hesitate to say that the
passenger equipments of the Chicago,
Milwaukee x St. Paul road is rarely
equaled and never cxcelled. Its track
is superb and its coaches are models of
elegant finish and luxurious accom-
modations. 1t certainly is a road
that allows none other to carry Long
fellows strange device Excelsior !"
The magnitude of this corporation
is the best evidence in the world that
its managers and officers are men of
more than ordinary executive ability
They are courteous, obliging and con-
sistcnt. Every encouragement and
patronage given such a road is well
deserved
