This population had accumulated in the absence of any transcontinental railway facilities. Since that time we have been connected with the East by the Northern Pacific and the Union Pacific. with San Francisco by the Oregon and California. and the Pacific terminus of the Canadian Pacific is but a very short distance to the north of the Territory. While it is difficult to estimate with any degree of mathematical certainty the effect of these increased transportation facilities upon the immigration of. the Territory. it is not difficult to conclude that it has been very great. In 1880 the total vote in the Territory was 15.823. With the population at 75.116 the figures indicate a ratio of population to vote of 4.7.
