HISTORY OF ORGANIZATION, CONSTRUCTION, LEASING AND CONSOLIDATION OF LINES NOW OPERATED BY YOU, AND STATUTES AUTHORIZING THE SAME. Date of charter, Jan. 29, 1874. Is the charter a special act of the legislature, or was the company incorporated under the general laws of the state? The St. Paul & Northern Pacific Railway Company was incorporated in 1874 (as the Western Railroad Company of Minnesota), and has been in operation since 1877, from Brainerd, on the line of the Northern Pacific railroad, sixty and one-half miles to Sauk Rapids. The line from Sauk Rapids to Minneapolis, sixty-six miles, was opened for business July 1, 1884, and from Minneapolis to St. Paul in February, 1886. A double track was laid between the cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, the construction of which included a bridge 1581 feet in length, across the Mississippi river at Minneapolis, and a tunnel 1000 feet in length at St. Paul, under Westminster street and the tracks of the St. Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba, and Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha Railway Companies. The terminal improvements of the company in and between the cities of St. Paul and Minneapolis (construction and in course of construction) com prises such facilities as are necessary to accommodate the business of this company and other railroad companies in said cities, also the business pertaining to the transcontinental system of the Northern Pacific Railroad Company, and contemplate union freight and passenger stations, machine and car shops, cattle guards, slaughter houses, round houses, freight yards with more than sixty miles of track, and other extensive facilities. The terminal properties comprise 22 acres in Minneapolis proper, and 100 acres in Northeast Minneapolis, and 380 acres in St. Paul. The land grant of the company, amounting to about 291,000 acres, is located along the line of road between Brainerd and Sauk Rapids. The company has no leased lines in operation. The railway of the company with all its terminal property, is leased for 999 years to the Northern Pacific Railroad Company, at a net annual rental equal to forty per cent of the gross earnings and receipts, free of all taxes. The Northern Pacific Railroad Company guarantees that this rental shall never be less than the interest upon the bonds of the St. Paul & Northern Pacific Railway Company. Dividends have been paid regularly upon the stock of the company in each and every year since July 1, 1879, when the first dividend was paid. An agreement was made with the Minneapolis & St. Louis Railway Company on the twenty-fourth of April, 1885, by which the company secured the right to use the railway between St. Paul and Minneapolis, and it is now running its freight and passenger trains over the same.

Marie & Atlantic Railway Company, for the use of the line between the crossing of the St. Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba Railway Company tracks at Northtown Junction, and a connection on Main street at or near block number twenty-two, of B. S. Wright's addition to Minneapolis, and that company commenced the use of the said track for its business on the twenty-first day of September, 1887.
