The North Hank road is. In brief, a
through connection with the two great
Hill transcontinental lines, the North
ern raclflo and (lie Great Northern.
It stands today, and will probably for
j many years stand, as the model of
perfection In the, line of construction
nnd fine equipment. .Many miles of
the road are blasted through solid
rock. Numberless tunnels pierce the'
; earth, in places where the builders
'might have avoided huge expense by!
building around these obstacles. The j
finest 'bridges Mint have ever been j

have beep erected without regard to
time or conditions or cost. All this

from Pasco to Vancouver, nnd on the

only 2-10 of 1 per cent, or a rise of

the total rise from Portland to Pasco,
a distance of 230 miles, is but 307 feet,
1 foot 4 Inches per mile, which is
never perceptible to the layman, and
nhrdly so to the experienced eye of
the most skilled engineer. j
