ALL AND RIVER,
The Norther,, Pacific.


E. T. Cressey, the editor and proprietor of
the Dakota daily Leader, published at Huron
D. T., gives the following interesting in
cident in regard to the Northern Pacific
road:
The following incident had almost fad
ed from the memory of the writer. 1t was
accidentally recalled only last week and
is now printed as a timely contribution
to Northern Pacific literature:
In the spring of 1858 the editor of the
Leader was serving his first year as an ap-
prentice at the printing business in the
Office of the St. Anthony Express, at st.
Anthony (now East Minnneapolis), Mime
sofa.
Early in that year congress passed a
law directing survey of the country
through which the Northern Pacific rail-
road now passes, for the sake of exploring
the route and seeing if it was feasible to
build railroad on that line. The per-
sons directed to do this were in charge of
Gov. Isaac I.sStevens, who had just been
appointed governor of Washington terri
tory, and they were to start from Fort
Smelling and go through to Puget's
Sound.
In those days-with no railroads nearer
than Freeport, ILL.,, only two papers in
st. Paul, the Pioneer and the Minnesotian,
and the Express being the only other
paper in Minnesota-the coming of
government surveying party was great
event. When they reached st. Paul big
supper was given them, attended as near
as we can recall, by Gov. Ramsey, FL. Fl.
Sibley, Henry M. Rice, James M. Good
hue, founder of the Pioneer, John P.
Owens, owner of the Minnesotian, Judge
Atwater, Judge Flandrau, VIM. P. Muir
ray, and other noted men. 1t was about
the biggest time that had ever been had
in Minnesota. The speakers after the
supper dilated at great length on the fu-
ture glory of st. Paul, minneapolis wasn't
born then; it all burnt over with prairie
fire that spring.) They dwelt at length
on the vast commerce which the Puget
Sound railroad would bring them, and
Row it would build up St. Paul espe-
cially.
When the day of departure came a
large number of people assembled at
Fort Smelling to see them off. And when
they left, nobody expected to ever see or
hear from them again, for the cruel red
men lined the path they were to explore.
But they got to Puget Sound and sent
back good report.
The tow headed printers devil who then
saw them ride out of the fort had never a
thought that thirty years later he
would be writing of the completion of
the magnificent highway which Gov.
Stevens was then starting out to explore.
| But SO it is. The road is done and its
owners are now jubilant over it. st. Paul
is its terminue and Ramsey, Sibley, Muir
ray, Atwater and others who drank cham
payne to its success in 1853 joined
| in the jubilee at st. Paul last Monday,
Sept. 8, 1888.
Gen. Stevens was in command of a di-
vision OF the army of the Potomac, and
during the days when Burnside and
Hooker failed as its commanders President
Lincoln sent Stevens a commission as
major general and gave him the command
of the army of the Potomac. Before these
reached him he waa killed in battle. Nc
Clellan and Pope, who were his subordi-
mates on the Puget Sound expedition,
survive him.

Eleventh Annual Interstate Exposition
of Chicago, 1888,

AAiosOAbh AAuudl 1uL6r-SCaG0 EXPOSITION
of Chicago, 1888,
Opened Sept. 5 and closes Oct. 20. As
usual, all railroad and steamboat trans
portation lines will put their rates to Chi
cago and return on hard-pan basis, selling
coupon tickets to the exposition. On
many of the lines, gentlemen, familiar
with the business, are making arrange
ments to run general excursions, which
have heretofore been profitable to those
managing them, and cheapened the cost of
transportation to the excursionists.
AS to the exposition itself,we are assured
that extraordinary efforts and very large
expenses have been made by the managers
to render it in all important departments
the most instructive, and far the most at
trative display of its class in America.
The local pride of Chicago is fully enlisted
IN the work, and it is safe to say that no
visitor will be disappointed.
