precious metal used, is needed only to
stiiien and hold the engraved portions in
place, and supply the necessary solidity
and strength. The surplus gold is actual

concerned. In JAMES BOSS PATENT
GOLD WATCH CASES, this WASTE Of
precious metal is overcome, and the SAME

simple nature, as follows plate OF nickle

plated, Congress was induced, in 1864, to
charter the Northern Pacific.
The company organized in Boston with Mr..
Perham, after whom thriving Minnesota
town is named as president.
An attempt to raise construction funds by
popular subscription to 500 stock shares
failed, and the company turned over its in
terests to New England capitalists, who
hoped to make the line tributary to Boston.
These made J. Gregory Smith president, and
under him the famous contract was made
with the clearinghouse of Jay Cooke IL Co.
to sell the company's bonds. Mr.. Cooke had
negotiated the great war loans of the gov
ernment and was regarded as the ablest
financier in the country. In two years the
firm disposed of $50 900, 600 worth OF bonds
at $40 per cent, and so was enabled to
complete the road from Duluth to Bismarck,
$50 miles, and from Kalama on the Colum-
bia to Tacoma on Puget Sound, 100 miles.
Then came the panic of 1873, prostrating
Cooke & Co. The road went into
bankruptcy, and with the consent of
the bondholders was reorganized, and freed
from debt by converting it's outstanding
bonds into preferred stock.
The Cascade branch, from Tacoma to the
coalfields of the Cascade range, at Carbon
ado, was then built; the Missouri division,
from Bismarck to Glendine, on the Yellow
stone, 100 miles, soon followed; the Pend
d'Oreille division, from the mouth of the
Columbia across Washington Territory, was
completed on borrowed money. In 1882 the
Yellowstone division, $50 miles, was fin
ished and last the Rocky Mountain division
was com pleted, Aug. 81 Of the present sum-
ner.
Of its presidents, General George W. Cass
(1S74-9), Frederick Billings, after whom the
most thriving town of Montana is named
Charles B. Wright, and probably its first
president, Governor Smith, as well as Jay
Cooke, who has been urgently invited by Mr.
Willard, will be present to relate the vicissi-
tudes of the great line under their respective
arrangements.
OF Mr.. Willard, who bought out the Oregon
Transportation Company, and then captured
the Northern Pacific stock and was made
president in 1884, there has been so much
said, of late, that it would be superhuous to
review the history of the road under this
active and successful railroad potentate, who
has added to the road branch lines and feed
ers until the combination exceeds 5000 miles.

one is served a meal which would incite the
appetite of an epicure, Tropical fruits, and the
wild game of the mountains are served in the
most efficient manner, while from the car
windows is shown a panorama of mountain
and valley not excelled in the United States.
The glaciers of Mount Tacoma are within
easy reach from the Pacific division. The
Rocky mountain division, from Helena to
Hebron, 274 miles, is one of the finest as
regards mountain scenery in America. Here
the road passes by tunnel, through the con-
tinental divide, and here the formal conf
pleton is celebrated
Stopping off at Livingston, on the Mon
tana division, one may in a week. or better
in two weeks, make an exploration of the
Yellowstone National Park, set aside by
Congress as the wonderland of the United
States. Five thousand tourists from all parts
of the world visited the park in the summer
of 1882, among them many professional
travellers, and the universal verdict is that in
no part of the world are there so many and
so diverse natural wonders to be seen. This
great pleasure ground about twice the size
of Delaware, is destined to become as ia
miliar to Americans as Switzerland is to
Europeans
Here, in a days ride of forty miles, are to
be seen the greatest geyser region in the
world, and the most brilliantly lighted and
colored river canon. Mountains OF volcanic
glass, fossilized forests, miles of basaltic
cliffs, foaming rapids and cataracts, glacial
plowed valleys with huge granite powders
resting on volcanic hills, snow-streaked
mountains with the brightest flowers at the
edge of the drifts, and, in fact variety and
extravaganza in the exhibition and DISPOSE
ton of natures forces and material which
are without parallel on the face of the earth.
From Livingston the tourist is wheeled
around through Montana, following the Vel
lowstone river for $50 miles, then over the
Pyramid marks or so-called Bad Lands of DR-
llota, past the lourishing cities of Bismarck,
on the Upper Missouri, Fargo, with 10000 in
habtants, on the Red river Brainerd on the
Mississippi, and then to st. Paul or Duluth,
as his fancy leads him, and his circuit OF the
great West is complete.

The Inception of the Northern Paeific-The
Disaster of It's Early Days.
The Northern Pacific, although the last to
be completed of the three great transconti-
mental lines, was really the first projected
A railroad from the upper Mississippi to the
mouth of the Columbia river was advocated
in 1885, soon after the railroad system was
introduced In 1S45 Asa Whitney, of New
York, who had amassed great wealth in the
China trade, urged upon Congress, session
after session, the building of road from
Prairie du Chen, on the Mississippi, to the
mouth of the Columbia river, in Oregon
He asked land grant sixty miles in width
the entire length of the road. Congress gave
the project due consideration and at one time
Whitney's bill was within one vote of passing.
Then came the Mexican war and the annex
alton of California with the gold discoveries,
and the almost fabulous growth of that
State. Public opinion then naturally ia
vored the building of line across the CONT
nent, ending at the bay of San Francisco.
This was the Golden Gate of the West; there
is no other suitable harbor a thousand
miles along the Pacific coast. Congress ac-
cordingly, in 1882 chartered the Union and
Central Pacific Companies with grant of
lands and large subsidy of government
bonds. Through the efforts of Josiah Per-
ham, of Maine, Governor Stevens of Wash
ington Territory, and the eminent engineer,
Edward Johnson who had shown a north

oil easier grades than any line yet contem

be guided by "public opinion" is no
error at all; on the contrary it is
about the safest thing for him to do,
