What The Railroad Has Done

i
When with calm and careful study
giving to each agency its rightful
credit, some future historian writes
the story of the development Of
Montana, first among the agencies
that made the settlement Of the CO.
untry possible and first among the
actual agents in settling and deyelo-
ping Montana he will place the Nor
thern Pacific Railroad.
We have become so prone to
!" cuss the railroad = and to blame
| it for So many Of the Deficiencies
noted, that we have failed to appree-
late just what this railroad or the
other railroads have done for Mont
ana.
Not twenty-eight years ago the
first railroad train entered the state,
over the new line of the Northern
Pacific. The country then was the
grazing pasture Of thousands of cat
tie and countless herds of buffalo
and other wild game. the hunting
ground of hostile Indians and the
battlefield for wandering tribes. It
was not six years after the massacre
of General Custer and his detach-
ment of cavalry on the Little Big
Horn. Between the Dakota line and
Bozeman there were but two towns
Of any size, Miles City and Coulson,
The population Of the state, accord
ing to the ceusus of 1880, was then
81, 159. The railroad traffic was
nothing.
What the Northern Pacific has
done for Montana is shown in the
growth since that time. To-day there
are four great railroad systems pen
etrating the state, three crossing it
from east to west. The combined
tonnage of these lines runs into the
tens of billions; the combined pass
enger traffic on them totals several
million people annually. The popula-
ton Of the state, according to the
census Of 1900, was 243, ,329 and there
is not the slightest doubt but what
the population now exceeds the half
million mark. The part the North
ern Pacific has played in the develop
ment OF this country is evident from
The fact that it owns more branch
lines and has under consideration the
construction Of more than all the
others. Its main line facilities are
greater than on any other line. It
transports more people through the
state and handles more freight. ac-
cording ito he reports Of the state
railroad commission than any other
line. During the past year it has
brought into the state more home
seekers than the entire population Of
Montana when the first train entered
its borders.
The Northern Pacific still makes
| the fastest time across Montana and
in a race from Tacoma to New York
| recently with a shipment Of freight
the Northern Pacific won the race
into New York by "a hours.
In the making of the state the
Northern Pacific deserves the first
place. Everything there is in the way
Of development from the Mussel-
shell to Wyoming state line in the
eastern section Of the state, which
includes the great Yellowstone val
