Washington, sent out to confer with the
tribe, have been IN session with the
chiefs during tho poa few dAys, and
viii speedily arrive u q bargain with
them. On the western end Of the road
l found that great labor has been ex-
pended and required IN heavy rock
work; especially on the Clark's Fork of
the Columbia river, where there has
necessarily been allow progress. But I
am glad to b able 70 say that the heav-
lest part of that work is now about
completed, and IN q few days-perhAps
by this time-the open country has been
reached, and work would progress rap
idly. At the end of tho track, working
east, found fully
5000 MEN Ar WORK.

Law at Clark's Fork that am. neraon-
ally, in some doubt whether that point
will be attained. But, after making all
allowances, 1t u certain that at the close
OF this season there will not be moro
than 800 miles of track, ct tho outside,
to lag, and perhaps not moro than $50
miles. And in that intervening space.
il will be remembered, the grading will
undoubtedly be completed. Great ad-
vanoement has also been made in the
getting out of lumber and timber neces-
sary for bridges and all Glasses of wood
work, and that portion of the labor will
be finished this year. The situation, 90
far as construction IL concerned. ia
briefly this: Tho Northern Pacific route
from Sc. Paul to Portland will be prac-
tically ready Tor it's iron the entire dis
tance of 1916 miles ON or before the
close Of the working season of 1882; al
the close of the seasoo there win not be
10 exceed 800 miles Of track to place.
and perhaps not over go miles: The
work of getting ont lumber and timber
for BRIDGES and other wood work has
prooreesed to point where il IL not
possible nov that there will be any de-
Law on that score. Nov "A to
