SCOPE AND CONTENTS

The files provide substantial documentation of all phases of the company’s organization, financing, and operations throughout its existence and that of its predecessors. They provide a fairly complete record of the activities of the entire succession of Northern Pacific presidents and their chief assistants. Of particular significance are the presidents’ subject files ([189-]-1970), 916 cubic feet), which comprise a topically organized distillation of all matters in which the executive officers were interested. The files contain a great deal of statistical and financial data and reports submitted for executive office information and decisions.

SUBJECT FILES, 1890S-1970

The subject files from the Office of the President are the principal series of correspondence and related records from that office. The files were formed gradually over the course of the company's history (they were begun after the corporate reorganization of 1896), and they are a fairly well organized aggregation of all the letters, memoranda, notes, reports, printed matter and ephemera, articles, and clippings pulled together to keep the Northern Pacific presidents and other executive officers informed on the broad spectrum of company activities (as well as those of its affiliates and subsidiaries), and on extra-company events (especially competitors and the United States government) closely affecting the Northern Pacific.

LETTERS RECEIVED

Registered: President and Vice President, 1882-1893

Letters, telegrams, and other papers received by the Northern Pacific president and vice president in the company's New York office, relating to all aspects of the construction of the main and branch lines, operation and maintenance of existing lines, disposition of company land, immigration to the Pacific Northwest, development of communities and resources along the line, interactions with other railroads, conduct of business with suppliers of equipment and rolling stock, requests for passes and employment, promotion of Yellowstone Park, and the organization of the 1883 Villard Excursion.

The primary addressees are president Robert Harris (1884-1889) and vice president, general manager, and president Thomas F. Oakes (1881-1893), with lesser numbers of letters being received by president Henry Villard (1882-1883), vice president James B. Williams (1889-1893), and various secretaries and assistants. They were written by the chief engineer, general manager, land commissioner, other officers of operating departments, officials of other railroads and of merchandising firms, and the public.

Content Notes, 1882-1883 (prepared by Duane Swanson, 1969-1970):

The letters received by Vice President Thomas F. Oakes in his New York office during 1882-1883 (boxes 1-13) came largely from officers of the operating departments, the chief engineer, the general manager, and the land commissioner, all located in the company’s St. Paul headquarters. The franking privileges granted by Western Union were used, and telegrams form a major segment of the intra-company communication. The correspondence also includes letters from officials of other railroads, from companies with which the Northern Pacific did business, and from individuals.

These years were busy and exciting ones for the company. The main line from Lake Superior to Puget Sound was completed and additional miles of branch lines were extending the railroad's activities along the older sections of the line. Construction of the Yellowstone, Rocky Mountain, Clark's Fork, and Pend d’Oreille Divisions of the main line was completed. The Fargo and Southwestern railroad, the Jamestown and Northern railroad, the Casselton Branch railroad, the Little Falls and Dakota railroad, and the Northern Pacific, Fergus, and Black Bills railroad were extended. The progress of construction is documented in letters from Chief Engineer Adna Anderson and his assistant, A. Mitchell. Weekly telegrams report miles of track laid over the various divisions and branch lines. There are progress reports on the construction of the bridge across the Missouri River at Bismarck, North Dakota, and of the Bozeman and Mullan tunnels in Montana. Farther west the company obtained a right of way through the Flathead Indian Reservation. Anderson's negotiations for this and similar concessions from the Crow Indians are also reflected in his correspondence.

While the chief engineer was concerned with the construction of the line, General Manager Herman Haupt concentrated on the operation of existing lines. Tree planting, to protect the track from drifting snow on the Dakota and Missouri divisions, was a major expense item. Leonard B. Hodges was appointed superintendent of tree planting. His recommendations, prospects, and his untimely death in 1883 are reported in Haupt's letters. In the spring of 1883 Haupt writes of the ice breakup and the subsequent flooding of the Missouri River. Weather and accident reports are found in his correspondence throughout the years. Reports on schedule co-ordination and on the construction of station houses and of hotels at Glendive, Helena, Fargo, and Bismarck reflect the general manager's concern for the smooth operation of the line. Many of Haupt's letters, with others from H. D. Lyman and R. A. Elmer of the United States Post Office Department, concern the establishment of post offices and postal routes along the line. Personnel changes, the railroad's interest in minerals and mining, particularly in the Bozeman and Bull Mountain coal mines, and company relations with the public are also revealed in the general manager's letters. Several of Haupt's letters in 1883 deal with the cattle ranch of the Marquis de Mores near Medora, North Dakota. They tell of Mores’ problems in cattle ranching and in establishing a beet packing plant on the North Dakota plains.

While most of Haupt's letters concern the Eastern divisions, those of J. M. Buckley reflect his position as general manager of the Western Divisions. The Eastern Divisions extended from St. Paul to some point in Montana, the exact western terminus varying from year to year; lines west of this point comprised the Western Divisions. Local taxes, bridge and trestle repair, and natural disasters such as washouts on the Pend d’Oreille Division reveal some of the problems of building and maintaining railroad lines through the mountains. Similar information is also found in the files H. Thielson, Supervising Engineer in charge of construction of the Western Divisions; J. T. Dodge , engineer for the Rocky Mountain Division; and H. W. Fairweather, Superintendent of the Pend d’Oreille Division.

The work of the land commissioner, in charge of the sale and lease of company land, helped to attract settlers who would become prospective customers of the line. E. M. Marble was land commissioner until February, 1882. His resignation and negotiations leading to the appointment of Charles B. Lamborn of the Colorado Coal and Iron Company are well documented in the papers. As part of Lamborn's orientation to his new job, he made several trips to Oregon, Washington, and Montana to inspect the company's land grant. Reports on these trips to Vice President Oakes tell much about the current status of the line and incidentally report the need for ties, ballast, and improvement in grading. Many of Lamborn' s letters request permission to execute deeds for land and town lot sales along the entire line. Reece M. Newport, General Land Agent; his successor, Hermann Trott; and J. H. Boughton, land agent at Tacoma, also report on land sales and request and acknowledge deeds on those sales.

Letters regarding immigration to the Pacific Northwest occupy much of Lamborn's correspondence with Oakes. The publication of Sly's pamphlet, a booklet extolling the virtues of the land adjacent to the Northern Pacific, its translation into German, Norwegian, and Swedish, and its distribution to European emigration agents was the major promotional activity of the period. Letters of P. B. Groat, general emigration agent in the United States, also concern Sly's pamphlet. Special pamphlets describing Oregon, Washington, and the Yellowstone River area are also discussed. Letters from Richard Sykes (England), A. Roedelheimer (Liverpool), and C. Jaeger (South Germany) report on emigration activities in Europe. As superior officers to several thousand local agents, they wrote reports containing information on prospective emigrants, the distribution of advertising materials, and the prospects for future emigration to the United States.

Jules S. Brisbin, director of the Custer County (Montana) Immigrant Aid Society and the Tongue River Irrigation and Ditch Company (Fort Keogh, Montana), viewed himself as a guardian of the railroad’s interest in Custer County. Many letters request railroad assistance for his organizations as they were helping to settle the land of the Northern Pacific. Brisbin's letters contain information on the conditions of immigrants and the promotional activities used to induce residents of the eastern states to migrate to Custer County.

Other intra-company correspondence, mainly from subordinate operating officials, is also found. In most cases, the man’s title implies the nature of his correspondence. G. W. Cushing, superintendent of motive power, machinery, and rolling stock, had charge of the equipment needed for building and operating the road. George W. Cross, superintendent of transportation kept coordinated train schedules and reported accidents and delays. Jule M. Hannaford, general freight agent, recommended freight rates. G. K. Barnes, passenger and ticket agent, determined rates and policies regarding the sale and use of tickets and passes.

This series contains little correspondence with company officials outside the operating departments. Letters concerning financial matters are almost nonexistent. A few letters from German and American bondholders and stockholders ask they have not received interests on their investment. A few letters from General Counsel George Gray recommend possible legal action regarding certain sales, mineral rights, and timber contracts. Several of Gray's letters report on meetings with such government officials as the secretary of the interior about forestalling proposals in congress that would have reclaimed parts of the company's land grant. Letters from company attorneys stationed along the line are also important. William P. Clough was in charge of legal affairs for the Manitoba and Southwestern Colonization Railway and for the Little Falls and Dakota Railroad. Information on the execution of land deeds, the issuing of local bonds (for example, in Otter Tail and Cass County, Minnesota), and opinions regarding the operation or these lines are included. John H. Mitchell, the company's representative in Washington, D. C., reports on legislation regarding the Crow Indian reservation and possible land-grant revocation. James McNaught of Seattle, Washington, W. F. Sanders of Helena, Montana, and Hiram Hayes of Superior, Wisconsin, reflect their concern with local matters of interest to the Company. For example, Sanders writes of removal proceedings against one Judge Conger in Montana and how this action will affect the company.

Various subjects are covered by persons outside the company. Correspondence from officials of other railroads, from companies which manufactured railroad supplies or performed services for the railroad, and from private individuals are found. The few letters received from officials of other railroads largely concern requests for and acknowledgement of passes issued by the Northern Pacific. Sidney Dillon of the Union Pacific Railroad Company writes about the division of territory between the Northern Pacific and the Union Pacific. There is a large volume of correspondence with officials of smaller railroads. Edward D. Adams of the St. Paul and Northern Pacific railway and George B. Adams of the company's branch lines, the Fargo and Southwestern and the Jamestown and Northern railroads report to Oakes about the operation of their lines. They write also of the execution of land deeds and operational contracts, freight and passenger services, and their relations with the Northern Pacific. The letters of Allen Manvel, general manager of the St. Paul, Minneapolis, and Manitoba railway concern right of way matters with the Northern Pacific in west central Minnesota. John Muir, traffic manager of the Oregon Railway and Navigation Company, write of prospects for the lumber, salmon, and fruit industries of Oregon and Washington and how the expected harvests will affect freight traffic on the Northern Pacific. Financial matters, execution of land deeds and contract matters of that company are discussed in letters from its manager, C. H. Prescott. The correspondence of J. M. Fillmore and Robert E. O'Brien reveal the Northern Pacific’s quest for influence in California through the extension of the Pacific Coast Railway and the San Luis Obispo and Santa Maria Valley Railroad.

Foremost among the letters received from companies doing business with the Northern Pacific are those from the Pullman Palace Car Company. Letters from George M. Pullman, president and G. F. Brown, secretary, reflect the Northern Pacific’s interest in buying comfortable and efficiently planned passenger cars. Many letters from small manufacturing companies tell of new types of doors, tie plates, special bolts, etc. of possible use to the company.

Two other companies performed several important functions in association with the Northern Pacific. Raphael Pumpelly's Northern Transcontinental Survey did most of the railroad’s surveying and prospecting during 1882-1883. Detailed reports by Pumpelly, his assistant, Samuel Williston, and geologists G. H. Eldridge and Bailey Willis recommend the most efficient route for new lines and report the probabilities of coal or iron on the company's land grant. One report by Bailey Willis, filed in 1883, recommends the immediate construction of spur lines to several glaciers in Washington as potential tourist attractions.

The Yellowstone National Park Improvement Company effected the promotion of Yellowstone Park. Letters from Rufus Hatch, president, reflect the growth of tourism in the park and the need for additional lodging and transportation facilities in the area which became the greatest tourist attraction to the company’s line.

A significant number of letters received from private individuals are requests for passes and for employment. Pass requests from religious and benevolent organizations, from newspaper editors and reporters, and from government officials or their representatives form the main body of such letters. Requests for employment came mainly from Easterners who wanted to move west and work for the company as accountants or clerks in the Land Department or in the General Manager's Department. Clergymen such as the Reverend Henry Ward Beecher and Bishop Henry B. Whipple were among the persons acknowledging and requesting passes. Bishop Whipple also requested a position for his son.

The correspondence from private individuals can be represented by that of Oliver Dalrymple, bonanza farmer near Casselton, North Dakota. After loaning money to the company during the panic of 1873, he kept in close contact with the Northern Pacific officials about the construction and operation of the line. In his correspondence with Oakes he vigorously reminds the vice president of the company’s indebtedness to him. He recommended the extension of lines into North Dakota and Canada and the opening of a steamboat system on the Red River. During the triumphant Villard Excursion, commemorating the completion of the line to Puget Sound in 1883, Dalrymple arranged for the dignitaries to watch the harvesting of one of the bonanza wheat fields.

The organization and planning of the Villard Excursion is revealed in the letter files of J. T. Odell, assistant general manager of the company. Among the files are drafts of invitations to European heads of state and United States government officials. Letters of acceptances from government officials, from private citizens, and from newspaper editors along with souvenir memorabilia comprise the remainder of the Villard Excursion files. With the laying of the golden spike near Gold Creek, Montana, September 8, 1883, this excursion inaugurated the operation of the first northern transcontinental railroad of the United States.

Content notes on “L” and “LC” files (prepared by Lydia Lucas, June 3, 1997):

The “LC” (Land Commissioner) files comprise the majority of these materials, although about half of the “L” files pertain to land matters, as well. In 1882, only the “L” files are present. About half (or somewhat more) of the “L” and “LC” files pertain to the administrative logistics and other details of land sales, contracts, and deeds; negotiations with prospective purchasers; the status of the NP land grant; and right of way issues. There are many monthly statistical reports on land sales, and a few fiscal-year narrative and statistical reports on Land Department activities (mainly sales). A good bit of the less routine correspondence also focuses on land purchase arrangements of various sorts. The 1882-1886 files contain the richest concentration of policy-related and non-routine letters. The majority of documents in 1882-1885 are handwritten; after that, the preponderance is typewritten.

Registers of Letters received: President and Vice President, 1882-1893

Registers of letters and other papers received by the Northern Pacific president and vice president in the company's New York office. They record each letter's author or originating officer or department, abstract of subject matter, to whom referred, and alpha-numeric file designation.

The fourteen registers record letters and other paper received by the president and vice president in the New York office from 1882 to 1893. The two major recipients are Thomas F. Oakes, who was vice president from 1881 to 1889 serving also as general manager from 1884 to 1889, and president from 1889 to 1893; and Robert Harris, who was president from 1884 to 1889. There are letters addressed to Henry Villard in 1882 and 1883, as well as James B. Williams, vice president from 1889 to 1893 as to secretaries and assistants to the president’s office. Some letters addressed to persona not attached to the to the president’s office appear as transmittals, often without being accompanied by a 1etter of transmittal. At times when the presidents and vice presidents were absent from the office, they addressed letters to the New York headquarters and thus appear in the series as authors.

For all of the years included in the series, the office of the president was in New York. The vice president‘s office was in New York during 1882 and 1883, in St. Paul during 1884-1888, and again in New York, 1889-1893.

Each year specia1 papers were entered as a unit in the registers. A complete list to these papers is in the 1892 register.

There are some duplications 1n the registers. For example, letters by Alexander Mitchell’s assistant to the chief engineer, Adna Anderson, are recorded both under M and under A, in juxtaposition to Anderson's letters.

The following are the major abbreviations used in the registers and as filing designations for registered letters:

CE -- Chief Engineer

GM -- General Manager

GC -- General Counsel

LC -- Land Commissioner

RMN -- Reece M. Newport, General Land Agent

JWS -- J. W. Sprague, General Superintendent

HT -- H. Thielson, Supervising Engineer

ID -- United States, Department of the Interior

Arrangement: By year or half year, thereunder alphabetically by first letter of surname or other identification, thereunder numerically in order of receipt. These registers index Letters Received, Registered: President and Vice President.

Special Papers, Registered: President and Vice President, 1882-1896

Letters and reports directed to the executive officers of the Northern Pacific in New York, giving data on branch lines and subsidiary companies, including detailed financial reports; Northern Pacific properties and mineral resources; cooperative arrangements or conflicts with other railroads and with service and development companies, especially the Wells, Fargo Express Company and the Union Pacific Railroad; major purchases of equipment and rolling stock; public relations especially in communities along the line; land transactions; internal corporate affairs, especially working papers for annual reports; line extensions; prospects for trade with China, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand; and miscellaneous topics. Primary recipients are Thomas F. Oakes, Robert Harris, and James B. Williams.

Content Note (prepared by Gary D. Stark, history intern, 1969-1970):

The one hundred forty-four files which comprise the Special Papers are letters and reports directed to the executive officers of the company in New York. The earliest papers are directed to Vice President Oakes. When Robert Harris became president in 1884, however, items were addressed either to him, to Oakes, or to James Williams, assistant to the president. After 1888 when Oakes became president, the papers were directed to him and to Williams, who now served as vice president.

The Special Papers, in chronological order, are numbered from 1 to 144 and cover the years 1882-1893. The last four papers, however, contain later items for years 1894 to 1896. Each year, beginning with 1882, the Special Papers files of that year were entered in the year's register of correspondence; the next year the whole list was copied in the new register, and all new Special Papers for that year were added. Thus, each year's correspondence register contains a list of all files of Special Papers that had been formed to that date. A final and complete listing of all Special Papers is found in the register tor 1892 (Accession No. 122).

It is not clear why these papers were formed. Each file usually contains more than one letter or item, and all items in each file pertains to a specific subject not unlike the subject files of a later period. In some instances the items were apparently designated as Special Papers upon receipt. In other cases a letter was indexed and numbered with the regular correspondence, then pulled, more items regarding the same subject added, and thus a Special Paper was formed. The method of consolidating files in this way probably grew out of the need for a quicker and more efficient method of retrieving correspondence of special interest or concern. It is possible that Oakes created the file Special Papers simply because of a personal interest in the subjects they covered. A land department official in Seattle is said to have kept a similar file for no other reason than that the subjects were of special interest to him. As company activities expanded during the years from 1882 to 1893, more and more Special Papers were created each year.

Although they are not filed in groups by general subject matter they can be described in eight major categories: reports, relations with other companies, equipment purchases, public relations, land transactions, Northern Pacific corporate papers, line extensions, and prospects for trade.

By far the largest number of Special Papers, almost one-third, are reports covering branch lines or property. Twenty-six are detailed financial reports, descriptions of physical equipment and estimates of potential operations and expansion of small railroads and branch lines of the Northern Pacific. During this time, the company was expanding its operations, usually through the acquisition of smaller branch lines. While such acquisitions were under consideration, reports were compiled at the request of the vice president to provide more comprehensive information on which to base a final decision. The large number of reports on other smaller railroads indicates the company's desire to expand, and shows how far its interests extended. Other reports give information about the finances and operations of company branch lines such as The San Luis Obispo, Oregon Short Line, New York Lake Erie and Western, St. Paul and Northern Pacific, James River Valley, Spokane and Palouse, Duluth and Manitoba, Oregon and Washington, Bellingham Bay, Northern Pacific and Manitoba, Coeur d'Alene Railway and Navigation Company, Seattle Lake Shore and Eastern, Milwaukee and Northern, and the Cicero and Proviso Street Railroads. Similar reports about new subsidiary companies of the railroad, such the Northern Pacific Coal Company and the Northern Pacific Elevator Company are also among the Special Papers.

The reports in the Special Papers deal not only with the other railroads and subsidiary companies, however; many concern estimates of the value of Northern Pacific properties. In 1884 for instance, the St. Paul and Northern Pacific wished to purchase Northern Pacific terminal property in St. Paul. The Northern Pacific had purchased the property, five years earlier for $100,000, but had since greatly improved the land. (See "Report on the St. Paul Yard,” May, 1885, Special Paper 54.) Before selling the property, Oakes requested the General Company to make thorough investigation of the value of the land. The final valuation given in the report was $2,000,000--a sum far exceeding Oakes' original estimate. In a letter to Harris, June 26, 1884, Oakes expressed his feeling that this sum was "so large I presume it will not be practicable to make an arrangement for its purchase by the St. Paul and Northern Pacific Co.” The property was later leased by the Northern Pacific rather than sold.

Another group of reports concern the mineral resources of land which the railroad either owned or desired to acquire. The company used reports dealing with the value of coal or iron found to determine whether it would be profitable to construct lines of access to the mineral areas, and in some cases, whether it would be wise to encourage settlement in the region to exploit the resource. Thus in 1888, surveys of Puget Sound County in Washington conclude that the Northern Pacific should establish a settlement there, as it was “the only place on the Pacific Coast from San Diego to Juan de Fuca that has coal and iron so placed within fifty miles of a central point." In five years, asserted the report (Special Paper 63), this area would "by push and energy be making all the iron and steel – mails, rails, building iron vessels, gunboats, ordinance – with all the Pacific Coast from Alaska to Cape Horn-Australia-Sandwich Islands-China and Japan as customers.” Most of the mineral reports were more temperate in language and estimates, however. A large number of them were done for the company by Professor Raphael Pumpelly, renowned geologist and Asian explorer. In 1881 President Villard requested Pumpelly to explore and evaluate the full extent of the Northern Pacific land grant (Villard to Pumpelly, June 30, 1881; Special Paper 22, Sub 6). For this purpose Pumpelly organized and directed the Northern Transcontinental Survey Company. The Northern Transcontinental Survey’s dealings with the Northern Pacific are revealed in Special Paper 22. Other mineral reports (Special Papers 9, 24, 105, 124, 141) are found on the Smith & Goodwin, Rocky Mountain, Castle, Monte Cristo, and Red Lodge Mines, and on the mineral and timber resources of Bozeman, Cooke, and Madison Counties in Montana (Special Papers 14. 100, and 125).

Special Papers dealing with relations with other companies, the next largest group, include plans for the financial management of the Portland, Oregon, terminal which was shared by the Northern Pacific, Southern Pacific, and the Union Pacific Railroads. The plan provided for the issuance of bonds and payment on the mortgage. Often the company leased land or equipment to other companies: this was the case in an agreement with the Northern Pacific Elevator Company and the Moss Bay Hematite Company, a corporation from England which wished to establish a steel and iron works on Northern Pacific property in Clealum.

Perhaps more revealing of the character of the times were the Special Papers dealing with conflicts between the Northern Pacific and other companies. During this period, details of rather serious disagreements are revealed in the papers. A significant one was the dispute between the company and the Wells, Fargo Express Company. The Northern Pacific had allowed Wells Fargo to operate its express business over Northern Pacific lines; as the railroad expanded and constructed new lines, however, it became more profitable for the company to operate its own express business. Requests that Wells Fargo cease its operations were ignored. Northern Pacific Superintendent of Traffic, John Muir wrote on December 29, 1882, to Oakes (Special Paper 8) “I think we should fight them on every hand and make the work as short as possible. Why not oppose them at once on the Ocean? Without our extension of an express line to San Francisco, Wells, Fargo & Co. will divert from us every pound from San Francisco consigned up the Columbia." Wells, Fargo & Company took the matter to court (see J.W. Sprague to Villard, December 12, 1882), where it was decided that railroads may not operate their own express business. General Counsel George Gray, in an opinion of December 19, 1882, pointed out that this problem could be avoided if the company were to organize a subsidiary company to conduct its express business. President Villard agreed, and directed the superintendent of express to organize the Northern Pacific Express Company (Villard to W.F. Footner, June 6, 1883; Special Paper 8). A major dispute with the Union Pacific concerned rights to build a line in Jefferson Canyon, Montana. The conflict was brought to the attention of the company by a letter from President Charles Adams of the Union Pacific to Robert Harris (March 5, 1889; Special Paper 85) wherein Adams alleged that Northern Pacific policies had overpowered Union Pacific men in the lower and middle canyon and were intending to drive Union Pacific crews out of the upper canyon; a force was being organized by Adams which would ''hold our rights." "The whole situation," continued Adams, "puts me in a very embarrassing position. Our officials are more than ever persuaded that the Northern Pacific are merely playing with me, and the propositions for joint action and our rights are being wantonly thrown away.” Armed conflict was averted, however, and an agreement on March 15, 1889 (Special Papers ) indicates that the two companies agreed to build a line in Jefferson Canyon under their joint ownership.

Fourteen Special Papers concern major company purchases of such equipment and supplies as forty engines, fifty passenger cars, and 550 tons of rail. There are also papers relating to licenses for the use of patented equipment such as Bell’s Ventilator for railway car toilets and the Butterfield Ashpan for locomotives.

Another group of papers concern relations with the public. Among them are petitions from the citizens of Old Yakima who protest the moving of the company line and terminal to a site in New Yakima, and petitions from citizens in Tacoma and Seattle who protest the change in schedule of the trains between those two towns. A number of claims against the company by small contractors and employees who asserted that they had not been paid for services rendered are to be found in this group, as well as a plea for money and “justice” by the relatives or Nicholas Metcalf, a company employee who had been killed while on duty. In these papers also is an arrangement by the company for the publication and sale of a pamphlet by Henry Winster, chief of the Bureau of Information for the railroad, entitled The Great Northwest; A guide Book and Itinerary for the Use of Tourists and Travellers over the Lines of the Northern Pacific Railroad, the Oregon Railroad and Navigation Company, and the Oregon and California Railroad. Winser’s book, usually referred to as Guide to the Northern Pacific Railroad and Allied Lines, was published by G.P. Putnam's Sons of London, and was ready for sale by September, 1883, when the line was opened to the Pacific. The publishers wrote on April 16, 1883, (Special Paper 28) that the book has "so large an acc’t of good editorial matter" and contained such a "considerable investment" in illustrations that they wished to do "what may be practicable” to give the book the "character of an authoritative reference work rather than to have it rank as a mere railroad advertisement.”

Other Special Papers deal with land transactions. Among the problems considered were whether to grant right of way to a public utility through Northern Pacific land, whether to participate in a consolidation of railroad and property proposed by Anson Maltby in Superior, Wisconsin, and questions arising when the company was notified that certain Northern Pacific lands were declared forfeited to the Commissioner, General Land Office, U. S. Department of Interior, December 24, 1890 (Special Paper 107), by act of congress September 29, 1890.

Internal corporate affairs of the Northern Pacific are covered in eleven of the Special Papers. Among these are seven sets of working papers for the annual reports of the railroad. The working papers comprise yearly reports of the operations and expenditures of the general manager, reports of the treasurer and land commissioner, and some of the branch lines and subsidiary companies. Also in this category are four reports on the organization of the company and others analyzing the company’s serious financial situation in 1893.

Line extensions are the subject of another group of papers. In some instances the company itself considered construction of a new line, while in others branch lines were extending their lines or spurs. These papers contain broad resolutions supporting the extensions, estimates of costs, and some correspondence regarding attempts to acquire land for an extension, particularly for such lines as the one from Garrison to Butte, Judd Spur, Drummond and Phillipsburgh, and the "Alley Line" extension in St. Paul.

Another category of Special Papers deals with prospects for trade with such countries as Australia, China, and Japan. In an era of expanding international trade, foreign market opportunities were viewed with considerable optimism. A report, for example, by H.M. Kersey, deals with the prospects for a trans-Pacific steamship line (Kersey to Oakes, October 25, 1884, Special Paper 33). Although the war between France and China was presently hindering trade, Kersey predicted that 1886 would bring “a reign of peace and plenty” in which business will be renewed “with redoubled vigor" and which will offer "a golden opportunity to the Northern Pacific Line for the establishment of a steamship route from its terminus at Tacoma to ports in China and Japan.”

The remainder of the Special Papers are on miscellaneous topics such as the formation of a timber company on Northern Pacific land in the Pend d’Oreille region of Idaho, insurance schedules for the company, and a claim by the company against the government for overpayment of duties on a shipment of steel ingots. An interesting Special Paper, Number 110, relates to the construction a bridge over the St. Louis River near Duluth, Minnesota. The Department of War and Chief Engineer of the United States Army desired that any such bridge be of the draw type and that it be adapted to accommodate wagons; the company, in constructing the bridge, was required to comply with these standards. Letters from Robert T. Lincoln, then Secretary of War, convey the desired specifications to the Northern Pacific.

Howard Elliott Files, 1909-1933

Biographical Note (written by Linda Johnson, August 1972): Howard Elliott began working for the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad Company in 1880 and held various positions with the firm, culminating in the vice presidency in 1901. He held that position until October, 1903, when he became president of the Northern Pacific Railway Company, continuing in that position until July, 1913, when he resigned to take charge of the New Haven system. Elliott returned to the Northern Pacific service in May 1917, serving as president from 1918 to 1920. The board of directors elected him its chairman in May 1918. During his tenure with the Northern Pacific, he also served as a member of the executive committee of the American Railway Association, the first vice president of the Absaroka Oil Development Company, and a director of the Western Union Telegraph Company.

Howard Elliott served as president of the Northern Pacific during the World War I period of federal control of the railroads, and as chairman of the board during the proposed merger of the Northern Pacific and Great Northern, under the Transportation Act of 1920. The dislocation of business methods and increased railroad and transportation competition damaged the earning power of the Northern Pacific during this period. Elliott advised associating closely with large, developing, national business organizations, increasing settlement and production in the Northern Pacific territory, actively protecting a favorable rate structure, and intensively developing local and short haul business in order to stimulate Northern Pacific profits.

Scope and Content: Subject files of Howard Elliott as Northern Pacific president (1903-1913, 1918-1920) and chairman of the board of directors (1920- ), relating especially to the development and stabilization of the Northern Pacific's management, operations, and earning power following World War I.

There is information on the proposed merger of Northern Pacific and the Great Northern Railway; the effects of Northern Pacific on federal control during World War I; maintenance and depreciation of equipment, rolling stock, and trackage; finances, accounting and contracts; development of Northern Pacific's properties and natural resources, especially through the Northwestern Improvement Company and specific development projects; management of the land grant; relations with other railroads and service companies, especially the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy, the Spokane, Portland and Seattle, and the Colorado and Southern; conflict with the Backus Brooks Company in northern Minnesota; affairs of various Northern Pacific subsidiaries and affiliates; and relations with the federal government and with regulatory bodies.

Vice President to the President Subject Files, 1910-1968

The Vice President/Assistant to the President, stationed in Seattle, was the Northern Pacific President's staff representation on the West End and, as such, acted as the St. Paul chief executive's West Coast surrogate. The files, which bulk from 1928 to 1968, are therefore analogous to the President's Office Subject Files and parallel it closely in topical content, if not always in quality. The files deal with all sorts of matters relative to administering the West End affairs of the Northern Pacific. They document routine operations; land, trackage, stations, and other property; branch lines and subsidiary companies; natural resource matters; shippers, commodities and traffic; legal agreements and litigations; relations with West Coast businesses, civic associations, industry groups, and other organizations; major cities; rates; service and line changes; construction projects; legislative and regulatory activities affecting Northern Pacific; advertising and publicity efforts; agricultural and industrial development; and personnel matters.

Arrangement: Arranged by assigned file numbers.
