The sanitary engineering department
has sent out, accordingly. some $50 letters
to growing villages and towns, asking
for detailed informa ton in regard to mu

return, an offer to give advice upon such
needs. This plan is cited as typical Of
the endeavors of the. university to bring

that the circular may remind some COM

Saw With Prophets Vision.
The engineer calls for the immedi-
ate construction of the line. He sees
the rapid approach Of immigration
and the consequent great development
of the western country, as yet little
explored. After detailing the impor-
lance Of the proposed route as a pio-
neer line, and from a money-getting
standpoint, he condenses his argument
into three propositions:
'First-The construction of railroad
lines, either in course or in immedi-
ate prospect, has become an indis-
pensable condition in the settlement
and development Of any country
which is destitute of water commune
cation.
''Second-No railroad has as yet
been constructed thru a new country
at a rate of progression so rapid that
the influx Of emigration has not kept
pace with, and in most cases pre-
coded, it.
"Third-Noncompet lines of rail-
road built thru fertile and habitable
portions Of the west have, with very

works. even when depending entirely
upon the revenue actually created by
their construction"
After comparing the road and Its
prospects with the Illinois Central and
its land grants. which at that time
promised to be a successful line and
an income producer, he says that this
road Is limited in its expansion and
can be only q feeder to those main
arteries of which the proposed Min
nesota & Pacific Is to form COM
ponent part. With regret at his in
ability to compass in words the great
possibilities he sees in his minds eye
for this road, Mr.. Shepard sums up
in this short sentence: TT is unneces-
sary to enlarge upon this subject,
when glance at the map will ex-
hibit the commanding position which
this road will occupy with reference
to the future commerce Of the great
northwest"

MINN. r. R. GROWTH
PREDICTED IN 1868

In the light Of later developments a
copy of the first report of the chief
engineer to the president Of the Min
nesota & Pacific Railroad company
presented Jan. IL, 1858, just turned up
by an antiquarian, Is an interesting
document. The road is now the St
Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba, part OF
the Great Northern system. D. G.
Shepard was the engineer.
Mr.. Shepard begins his report by
stating the assignment and results OF
the work of five surveying parties. One
under John Dale made a location be-
tween Saltwater and st. Anthony, an
other under w. G. Turpin between st.
Anthony and Crow Wing, a third un-
try between the Mississippi and the
Bots des Sioux. fourth under G. G.
Smith assisted in placing the line west
Of the river, and a fifth under William
Crooks. placed the surveys between
St. Anthony and st. Cloud.
Compliments are paid each Of these
parties for the quick and accurate work
done. The measured length Of the
main line was 222 miles and Of the
Crow Wing branch III miles. A great
part of the work was done between
July Is and Oct. 20, 1857.

ering on the main line" reads the re-

the comments and the predictions as
to the future of the territory are de-
cidedly readable. Mr.. Shepard says:
1T is impossible to conceive q more
perfect natural route for great high
way than Is found along this beauti-
full valley, where line Of railroad may
be constructed within the minimum
cost per mile of western works, which
shall have no ACTIVITY exceeding ten
feet per mile, with tangents from three
to twenty miles in length, and mini

This department has been established
to teach students how to construct water
works sewage systems, pavements and
the like; and to furnish Without charge,
general information on such subjects in
response to Inquiries from any municipal
ity In Minnesota
There are 230 villages and towns in this
state, with populations ranging from 400
to $1,000 Each Of them is growing stead
lily. One Of the first public needs that all
new towns feel is that of protection
against fire; waterworks system is put
in for that purpose chiefly. At first, there
fore. the quantity Of water supplied is of
special Importance; later on, as domestic
requirements increase, the quality Of the
water as we'll as the quantity must be
considered. Next the free use of water
for household purposes develops the need
of sewage system, which must be con-
structed Of course in accordance with
