The total number of miles in Montana is 1,704
This list does not include the many miles of terminal
tracks at Butte City, Anaconda and Helena.
With the construction of these lines practically
begun in 1881, this ives average of 225 miles per
year since that date 1t also shows mile of road for
every 100 people in Montana, while Colorado is cs
mated to have mile of road for every sixty inhabitants
Montana has been compared with Colorado since
any one has been familiar with the physical features
climatic conditions and of the two localities
and great similarity has been noted.
1t has been unfortunate for Colorado that the narrow
gauge its height when it's early roads were
constructed Its transportation facilities will never
satisfy the demands made upon it, Unlike Colorado,
the railroads of Montana have been projected with a
more correct idea of the future traffic. and with the
exception of the first gauge, the Utah &
standard gauge, there has been very little construction
which has not been first class.
In building its main line, the Northern Pacific adopted
the grade of the Baltimore & Ohio viz: l16 feet per
mile for crossing mountains, and where it encountered
elevations too high to be passed over as the Belt
range near Bozeman, and beyond Helena on the main
range of the Rockies, it has built expensive tunnels.
Nowhere within the limits of the territory are there
any in this main line of road which exceed 10
degrees per hundred feet. Heavy cuts embankments
and rescs round off the hills and valleys to bring them
within the limit. Along the Yellowstone there are $40
miles where the heaviest grade does not exceed 1874

RAILROAD BUILDING IN MONTANA.


i to give nttcrancc to the thought that railroad
would penetrate the Great Desert of the North
west" The report of Governor Stevens, of Washington
Territory, Pacific roads of whc he examined routes
for three lines in the year 1853, makes mention of
northern route.
The first public act which gave definite expression
t" the idea was the granting of charter to the
Northern Pacific railroad in 1864 by the congress of
the United States.
That this great northwest territory considered
little better than desert is evidenced by the fact that
congress deemed it aid the railroad enter
prise by provision in its charter which granted one
half the land in strip 50 miles wlc and also right
Of way 4OO feet wide, half way the American
continent. That the people of the United States had
II" better information than congress about the almost
uncxplorcd region is likewise evidenced by the facts
that thought the grant extensive and the
railroad company did not make haste to complete the
road and get possession of the millions of acres.
At the time of the organization of the territory of
Montana in 1864, the nearest approach by rail the
Union Pacific Omaha. In 1869 the road reached
C"rrnc, Utah, from which point to Virginia City, the
then largest town, distance of 300 miles, frcighting
by mules and made profitable business for few
outfits. From the east, the Missouri river at Benton
and the Yellowstone Miles City gave occupation to

kept pace with the of the territory until frcighting
became of the largest industries.
The Northern Pacific started westward, hut in the
collapse of 1873 the end of track hung up at Bis
marck, Dakota.
After quite number of years the Union Pacific
vcnturcd to compete with the mules by pushing north
ward narrow gauge, the Utah & Northcrn which
crossed the Montana line at Monida in 1880. This
narrow gauge was rather small beginning, which
showed that the outside world still had rather a narrow
idea of the and needs of Montana The first
definite location of the Northern Pacific in Montana
was made in 1871 and 1872. The eastern boundary of
the territory reached Sentinel Buttes in $780, the
same year that the Utah 4 Northern crossed the line
on the south. The progress of the road until its COM

rate of over 200 miles year at each end.
