THE NORTHERN PACIFIC RAILROAD.

e HIS ROAD begins at St. Paul, Minneapolis, and Duluth. Its southern and eastern stems converge at Brainerd, where it starts in a direct line for the Yellowstone. Its present terminus is Glendive, 690 miles west of St. Paul, and is being rapidly extended to Miles City and the National Park. It is expected that the line will be completed in 1883 to the Pacific Coast, when it will become the
GREAT TRANS-CONTINENTAL ROUTE
-FROM THE --
GREAT LAKES TO THE PACIFIC OCEAN.
The whole line of travel is through one continuous avenue of agricultural wealth-a country whose resources are inexhaustible, and as yet unmeasured ; a climate the most desirable and healthful ; the atmosphere dry and pure; sum- mers warm and delightful; winters cold and less rigorous than in latitudes immediately south, as is proved by the fact that while roads south of the North- ern Pacific were snow-bound for months during the past winter, THIS ROAD IVAS NOT SNOW-BOUND A SINGLE DAY IN THE ENTIRE WINTER. This fact should not be overlooked.
The Yellowstone River now being accessible by rail, great interest is becom- ing manifest in that portion which is made immediately available, and to which the tide of immigration is turning. The soil is unexcelled for richness, adapted to raising of all cereals. The country is well watered, timbered and covered with a magnificent growth of " bunch grass," making the finest imaginable stock ranges. An inexhaustible supply of fuel is found in the massive beds of lignite which underlie this section. This coal burns with intense heat, and a ton of it is considered equal to two cords of wood.
Appreciating the necessities of the public, it responds to low rates for land seekers, settlers and tourists. Runs through trains and cars. The celebrated Pullman Sleeping Cars, which are the best in the world.
PARLOR CARS BETWEEN FARGO AND BISMARCK.
Makes quick time. Has good road-bed, good engines, good equipment throughout, and is in every respect a first-class line. It is the aim of the man- agement to encourage every enterprise and stimulate all interests which will enhance the interest of its patrons and the line.
