REINVESTMENT 
OF 
3V£ 
OUPONS 
To those who have lands to invest, and to those who wish to increase their Income from funds already 
invested in other securities, we recommend Northern Pacific Seven-Thirties. Bearing Seven and 
Three-tenths (7 3-10) Gold Interest, and secured by a First Mortgage on both the Hoad and Land Grant 
of great extent and value, they combine unusual Profitableness with unquestionable Security. 
The proceeds of all sales of Ijiml ure required to lie devoted by the Trustees Of the Bondholders as 
a Sinking Fund to the purchase and cancellation of the First Mortgage Bonds, or temporarily to the 
payment of interest thereon. If necessary. This provision will make the Railroad Company itself a large 
purchaser of Its own securities in the open market after the Road is completed, and until the Bonds 
mature or are bought In. 
The semi-annual interest on the Registered Bonds is paid with Gold Checks, sent to the Post-Office 
address of the holder. 
The Northern Pacific railroad Company will, during the present month of May, offer for sale 
and settlement about Two Million Aeres of its Isolds In Minnesota, and many thousand acres are already 
taken and applied for. Thus the immense landed estate of the Company begins at once to be available. 
All marketable stocks and bonds will be received (by express or otherwise) at current prices, in ex¬ 
change for Northern Pacific Seven-Thirties, without expense to the investor. 
Pamphlets and full information will be furnished on application.
