INVESTMENT 
Securities. 
The Northern Pacific Railroad Company, through 
its Financial Agents, offers for sale its First Mort¬ 
gage 7-30 Gold Bonds. They fall due in 30 years, 
bear 7 3-10 per cent, gold interest, payable semi¬ 
annually, are exempt from U. S. tax to the holder, 
and are secured by first and only mortgage on 
1. The Railroad, -its Right of Way, Franchise, 
Rolling Stock, and other Property. 
2. Its Traffic or Net Earnings. 
3. A Government Grant of Land averaging on 
completion of tlie Road about 23,000 acres per mile 
of track. 
The Road follows what is known as the Valley 
Route to the Pacific, flanked most of the way by 
an excellent country, and is assured in advance of 
a vast and profitable-traffic which already awaits its 
completion. The work of construction is steadily 
and satisfactorily progressing; the settlement of 
the adjacent country and the-building of towns 
keep pace with the advance of the Road; a large 
body of the Company’s lands is already in market, 
and the proceeds of sales will constitute a Sinking 
Fund for the redemption of the Company’s Bonds, 
which are convertible at 110 into the Company’s 
Lands at market prices. 
Believing that these Bonds, botli in point of 
safety and profitableness, constitute such a security 
as’Judicious investors’etui approve, we recommend 
them to tlie public. Government Bonds and all 
fiiarketablc securities are received in exchange at 
current quotations without c-ost to the investor.

E. M. Boynton, 80 Beckman st.. New York: 
Sir: This certifies that I saw the Lightning Cross-Cut Saw 
worked by hand, by two men, Nov. 2d, at this Fair. Said 
men and Saw cut off a sound 8x9-inch chestnut log in 3^ 
seconds; and 16 cuts of same, continuously, in two minutes 
and IS seconds, or at the rate ot a cord of wood in less than 
nine minutes. I am satisfied that for all purposes of cross¬ 
cutting large and small timber, your cross-cuts and wood 
saws have no rival in speed, in ease, and in simplicity. 
I believe their universal use would save n vast amount of 
money and time, and lighten the toil of millions of men.

exactly how they may be arranged, arid what flowers to
