The Fertile Belt of country-1,800 miles long, and at least 700 in width -extending from Lake Superior to Puget Sound, and now being developed by the rapid construction of the Northern Pacific Railroad, is probably not surpassed by any area of like extent on the continent for healthfulness, abundance and diversity of resources, and capacity for sustaining a dense population. Besides its wealth of Minerals and Timber, it admirably combines the three essentials of a good farming and grazing country, namely-a temperate Climate, a naturally rich Soil, and a fair supply of moisture. The climate of Central Minnesota (the coldest point on the Northern Pacific Road), is much like that of Central New York-without its dampness and chill. FROM MINNESOTA WESTWARD THE SEASONS GROW STEADILY MILDER, modified by the great depression of the continent along the 46th parallel, the warm winds from the Pacific Ocean, and other influences, so that Dakota has the climate of Iowa, with a drier atmosphere; the valleys of Montana that of Ohio, with less snow and without its winter discomfort; Washington and Oregon, like California, have the winter climate of Southern Virginia, with summers like those of New England. The entire line of the road lies considerably south of the latitude of Paris and Vienna. The remarkable healthfulness of the climate of the New North-west has become proverbial.
