The First Sawmill in Nebraska.
(To the Editor of the Journal.)
in your last issue you mention the
death of Georga C. Ferguson, near
Odell, Nebraska, and state that he
operated the first sawmill in Nebraska,
and sawed the lumber out of which
was built the house now occupied by
Governor Sheldon, near Nehawka.
This is a mistake as Che first sawmill
built In Nebraska was built by S. M.
Kirkpatrick, in the summer of 1855.
It was built on the Weeping Water,
where Nehawka now stands, which
was then, or rather afterwards known
as Mt. Pleasant, from the fact that
the mail for the surrounding country
was received at a postotiice of that
name. A great deal of lumber was
sawed in the fall of 1955 and the
winter of lS55-'56.
The high water in the spring of
135fi carried away the mill. In the
early summer of lS5r Mr. Kirkpatrick
sold the mill site and the timbers of
the mill, a great many of which were
lodged in the bend of the creek, to
Lawson Sheldon and Isaac Pollard.
They erected another mill and it
was on this mill that Mr. Ferguson
sawed the lumber alluded to.
On a corn crib on the old Kirk
patrick homestead there is quite a lot
of lumber that was sawed on the old
mill in 1355. It is still sound and you
can readily guess much harder than
when first sawed.

"The McEntee" a Dump Wagon to Facil
itate and Expedite Grading for
Railroad Construction.
DISCOVERED BY ONE OF OUR CITZIENS
Manufacturing Concerns Turning Out Many
Wagons. One Exhibited In This
City by the Inventor.
For tlic past several months the Jour
nal has been following with much In
terest the progress of "The McIOntce"
dump wagon, which was Invented by
one our citizens, C. K. McKntee, who
in the forty jears of experience as a
railroad contractor, has realized the
necessity of a more substantial, as well
as simple conveyance, in order to facil
itate the labor of unloading at a de
sired point, without any delay. After
much study and many experiments he
has perfected a wagon wnich is fully
up to the cxpectatiotisor requirements
or the most critical grading contractor.
After perfecting a model of thi
dump wagon, It was with di:l!culty
that Mr. McKntee obtained a suitable
contract for the manufacturing and
selling of the wagons, as many of th'i
concerns demanded the absolute and
exclusive right to make and sell the
wagons in the IT nited States, while
one company, recogni.ing the value of
the wagon, proposed to purchase the
patent for several thousand dollars,
and give Mr. McKntee a royalty of one
dollar for each wagon sold. Feeling
confident that he could secure more
favorable concessions from other fac
tories, he took the matter up with
Kilburn A: Jacobson of Columbus, ().,
manufacturer of railroad tools, and a
a result a contract was made with them
to manufacture and sell the dump
wagon in the several states adjoining
Ohio. After this success a similar con
tract was soon made with the O'Brien
wagon works of Shenandoah, la., who
have turned out quite a number of the
new wagons, which lind a ready sale in
Nebraska, Missouri, Indian Territory,
and wherever they are exhibited. A
few weeks ago Mr. McKntee returned
from a trip to the east, where, to
gether with his son Dave, who is look
ing after the eastern territory, he vis
ited several manufacturing plants,
whose management gave much encour
agement, and a firm in Iloxbury,
Mass., will soon be able to supply the
damand in the east for these wagons.
The dump wagon is only one of many
useful inventions especially adapted
to construction work made by Mr. Mc
Entee. Among other things, he has
invented an arrangement with which
the wagon can be loaded to advantage
without loss of time. About a year
ago a number of our business men were
nterviewed in regard to organizing a
company and starting a factory to
make these wagons in this city, but
failing to comprehend the significance
of the invention, the project was not
consummated, while now Shenandoah
has a factory of this kind employing
over one hundred and fifty men, who
can turn out in a day twenty wagons.
retailing at one hundred and fifteen
dollars.
The first of the wagons to be seen in
this city was exhibited today at Kiel.-
ey s lumberyard. It is one of these
made by the Shenandoah company.
and is in every way especially designed
to expedite grading for railroad lines,
nd for transferring soil from one place
to another. The plan of the wagon is
well conceived the box beinir divided
in two parts which, when a lever i
pressed down by the foot of the driver,
swings downward, depositing the load
between the four wheels. The two
parts of the box are evenly balanced,
and when relieved of a load, resume
their natural position, ready for an
other load. The dumping is accom- '
plished at any desired point, with
wagon in motion or standing still, while
the driver occupies a seat somewhat
in front of the self-adjusting sections
of the wagon box. The wagon is fitted
with a brake, which is also adjustable,
and at the same time as simple as the
other parts in operation. The entire
wagon is very substantially built and
a patent has been applied for.
The Journal is pleased to note the
success with which a Plattsmouth cit
zen has met with, and hopes tbatstep3
will be taken toward securing such an
industry for our city.
Nebraska and the United States are
not the only places where one may lind
freak legislation, or at least such pro
posed legislation. The Dutch parlia
ment has just passed an act making it
a misdemeanor for anyone to fly over
Holland in an airship, And the vil
lage constable who set out to arrest of
fenders would have to do more than
bit the ground in the high places.
A Boston man thinks the dead may
be restored to life by hypnotic tugges
tion, which goads the Minneapolis
Journal into saying that there are a
dozen dead ones in the senate whom
even a suggestion could not reach.
This must be the limit.
