ern Pacific, General Passenger Agent Barnes
has caused particular inquiry to be made at

H. Clark, ESQ.,, of Clark & Co., contractors
of the Yellowstone division of the Northern
Pacific, arrived in st. Paul from Miles City,
Yesterday. Mr.. Clark says the weather in the
Yellowstone continues quite favorable for
construction work, and that, having three
thousand men at work, he confidently expects
they will have the grade completed to Boze-
man Pass by the first of June next. Ties for
the whole division, he says, will be cut along
the tributaries of the Yellowstone. 1t is prob
able the whole division will be ironed next
summer. and that only the mountain sections
will, year from the first of next month, re-
main incomplete of our northern transconti-
mental line.
Rumors in railroad circles that the st. Paul
& Manitoba company is preparing to secure
an independent line to Chicago, and that Mr.
A. B. Stickney's reported connection with the
Cannon River for Red Wing & Mankato rail-
road project is part of its plan, are prob.
ably not well founded. Mr.. Stickney, we be-
lieve is connected with project for buildings
railroad from st. Paul connections on the
east side of the Mississippi to La Crosse, but
that project has slumbered since preliminary
survey was mads two or three years ago. His
present connection with the Cannon River
project is an independent matter. He will
build this road, however, if its landgrant and
pledges of local bonuses prove to be enough
to induce capitalists to invest, and may begin
work next oring. The line would be good
one locally, and would be valuable feeder for
the NJ. & st. P. river division.
The freight department of the Northern Pa
cfic has issued table of through rates to
points on the completed section of the yell
iowstone division, for which freight will be
received on and after the 18th inst, subject to
convenience of the construction department
west of Glendive, but under ordinary circum-
stances assured of prompt transmission.
Charges will have to be prepaid, except to
Miles City, where the company has stationed
an agent To or from Miles City the rates to
or from st. Paul or Duluth are are follows,
per 100 pounds First class, s.; second
class, S2.70; third class, $3.50; fourh class,
81 .S5 Special rates: No. 1, 90c.; No. 2, $1.S0;
No. 8. $3.50; No. z, soc. Per car: No. 4,
For a run OF abaut $50 miles, these rates
will compare favorably with some of the old
lines and especially SO with local rates on the
