Joint Resolution of the Legislature of the State of Minnesota, requesting the Senators and Representatives thereof to use their influence to secure the location February 1, 1885. of the North or Sioux City Branch of the Pacific Railroad, westwardly, as near as may be, along the parallel of forty-two and one-half degrees of north latitude, to a point of junction with the main trunk of said road. Whereas, By several acts of Congress liberal grants of public lands have been made for the construction of a railroad from the head of Lake Superior, southwesterly, via Saint Paul, to a point on the western boundary of Iowa at or near the parallel of forty-two and one-half degrees of north latitude, intersecting in its passage a railroad running westwardly from Winona, Preamble. and another running up the valley of the Root River, in Minnesota, and one from McGregor, in Iowa, and connecting with the north or Sioux City branch of the Pacific Railroad at the above point, that southwestern road operating as a main trunk to all the others. And whereas, The best interests of all of those roads, as well as of the country through which they run, and the whole region of country westwardly thereof, require and demand that that branch should run westwardly on the nearest, most direct, and most practicable route, to unite with the main trunk in the neighborhood of Fort Larimie. |
