Thws are lying on the table before 10
- omeial railway maps. One is pub-
aishsd BY the Union Pacific and the
<xGEsr u the Northern Pacific Railroad
O2paay. There is nothing anusual in
Ansiax railroad maps in an Office. They
aau 10 be seen everywhere. But there is
u udEsble feature in connection with
&hs tuo above noted which has attracted
sw attention. These maps are tho lat
- palli shed. They should be accurate.
skssid embrace and represent truthfully
rs main lines of the respective CON-
s7sl54 the branches, extensions. etc..
s1neeted Herewith, and tho projected
NGf yse ancompleted sections. Tho first
1nnsd map, 90 far az We are able TO de-
Hxuine, 10 we'll executed, complete and
:uaszrase in these respects. The other
IL md veil executed, it is incomplete
and inaocsratA. We believe that this
inansufacy and ineompleteness are inten-
kiau1l. that they are part of Iesurrect-
Cd dissemination and plan TO ignore
uxtain POINTS and communities, and by
81 dsing 70 build up others. This brings
~ to details.

Ma have said that in our belief this
