THE Northern Pacific railroad is progress
ing at a rapid rate, and it would seem that
the prediction Of Henry Willard that the
road will be completed within two years will
be made good to the very letter. Track lay
ing in the valley Of the Yellowstone is now
progressing at the rate Of . mile and q half
a day, and the western division is being ex-
tended with like energy. The gap now re-
naming to be filled is only 9 little more than
800 miles, the entire length Of the road be-
ing about 1000 miles. It is now clearly
manifest that the Northern Pacific is des-
tined to be q great financial success, and this
fact will prompt the company to hasten it's
completion. Even now the eastern division
reports large earnings every month, and with
the line completed across the continent it
will prove to be one of the best paying rail-
road properties in the world.
