Under tho caption, "Tho Union Pa cific Railroad and Louisiana Terri tory," tho now World's Fair folder Is sued by the advertising department of the Union Pacific, which has attracted such general attention, recites these interesting facts: "While tho construction of the Union Pacific Railroad, Its trials and triumphs, aro a part of the history of tho United States, the important part played by this railroad in the develop ment of tho Louisiana Purchase can hardly bo estimated. In the building up of this vnst domain it has been one of the chief factors. One hundred years ago tho popula tion of tho region was estimated at 20,000. Up-to the inception of the Union Pacific (In 18C0) it had in creased to 3,233,529. In 1900 it num bered over 13,000,000 of inhabitants. In this wonderful growth, with its. stu pendous increase In all the many-sided phases of commercial, material and Intellectual prosperity, tho Union Pa cific as a glance at tho map will show has had a conspicuous share. It has opened vast regions of fertllv. country to settlers, and brought grent areas of an unknown and unproduc tive wilderness Into closo communion with metropolitan centers and mar kets. Thriving cities, towns and ham lets, through Its efforts, have sprung up In every direction. It may bo of interest to know that tho total number of manufacturing plants, and tho valuo of their outputs, combined with that of the national products as repotted in the census of 1900, give an aggregate production for tho Louisiana region of $3,500,000,000 annually, or 223 times tho original pur chase price. Tho same census reports (1900) also show the total population to bo 13,343,255, of which 8,303.096 In habitants are living in the states and territories reached by the Union Pa cific. On the 1900 census figures, it is estimated that tho true wealth of the Louisiana purchase can bo stated at about $13,051,868,359, of which $9,360, 621,387 is represented in tho states reached by this great railroad."
