Total....... .1,775 miles. 200 .1,975 miles. This Company was chartered by Congress on the 2d day of July, 1864, and authorized to construct a railroad from Lake Superior, through N. Wisconsin and Minnesota, and the Territories of Dakotah, Montana, Idaho and Washington, to Puget's Sound, with a branch by the valley of Columbia River to Portland, in the State of Oregon. In aid of its construction Congress made a grant of alternate sections of land for 40 miles on each side of the line on the proposed road through the Territories, and 20 miles on each side in the States-or an aggregate amount (estimated by the Commissioner of the Public Lands) of 47,000,000 acres, or 74,423 square miles. It is claimed that the construction of some 825 miles of railroad would, in connection with navigable water-courses, form a convenient line of communication from New York to Puget Sound. From New York, by way of Hudson River, the Erie Canal and the Lakes, the distance to the head of Lake Superior is 1,500 miles. From the lake to the Bend of the Missouri the distance is 485 miles. From the Bend to the head of navigation of this river the distance is some 600 miles. From the lastnamed point to the navigable waters of the Flathead and Clark's River the distance by railway would be 200 miles. These rivers are navigable in the direction of the proposed line about 175 miles. From Clark's River to the Columbia the distance is 140 miles. From thence to the Pacific Ocean, by the Columbia River, the distance is some 250 miles. The total length of the above line is about 3,350 miles, of which 2,525 consist of navigable water-courses and 825 of railway. For a more extended description of the route and characteristics of the road see MANUAL for 1869-70. By an act of Congress, at its last session, the Company was authorized to issue bonds upon its road and lands for the purpose of raising the means for construction; and also to construct a branch from Portland, Oregon, to any point that might be selected by the directors on Puget Sound, or upon any navigable waters connecting with the same. Construction has been commenced. Directors.-J. Gregory Smith, St. Albans, Vt.; R. D. Rice, Augusta, Me.; Wm. B. Ogden, New York; Wm. G. Fargo, Buffalo, N. Y.; George W. Cass, Pittsburg; W. C.
