Sterling Morton came i to Nebraska as a young man still in his 20’s, his father warned him: “Now the sawmill business is a humbug, let is alone. If there are any fools in Nebraska let them i build the saw mills and you sell | them the timber if they want it I and will pay cash for it ... If I had $10,000 not a dollar should go into a sawmill in Michigan or Nebraska." The young man, who was to be come one of Nebraska’s best known citizens, followed his fath er’s advice, but there were enough people willing to gamble on saw mills to make lumber manufac ture the territory’s leading indus try. The new settlements created | a trempndous demand for lumber, and while Nebraska was for the | most part treeless, the river val leys of the southeastern section provided a 'considerable quantity of raw material. The streams provided the necessary power. The US census of 1860 reported 46 sawmills in Nebraska territory, representing a total investment of $127,800 and giving employment to 155 men. The annual value of lumber turned out by these mills was $335,340, (more than half of the total value of all territorial manufactures. In terms of the number of es lablishmenls, Nemaha was the leading counly, with seven saw mills. Next came Richardson with 5. Douglas, Oloe, Sarpy ; and Washington followed with 4 each. Tre remaining counties had from 1 to 3 sawmills each. It is interesting to note that ev ery county included in the census except Dakota had at least one sawmill. In Cuming, Dodge, John ston and Platte counties sawmills were the only industries reported. By 1870, the number of saw mills in Nebraska hud increased only to 50. The capital invested, however, represented $152,000, al though the value of the product had fallen to $278,205. A total of 202 men were employed. The cen sus of 1870 reported the type of power supplied each sawmill, and 30 of Nebraska’s were powered by steam engines, the remainder us ing water-wheels. Many of the early sawmills sawed lumber “on the shares." The patron would cut his own logs and haul them to the mill. After they were sawed the mill owner and the patron would di vide the lumber and the slabs [ eually, the former retaining half of the total product as pay ment for the milling operations. The sawmills, like the grist mill, became a neighborhood gathering place. Frequently patrons had to wait some tiime to get their logs sawed, and while waiting they ex changed gossip, news and in formation. % Ferguson 3d Man to Congress— Fenner Ferguson, tTie 3d man to represent Nebraska territory as a delegate to congress, was really the first who was identified in a permanent way with the territory. His judicial career is much more important than the one term he served as delegate. Born in New York in 1814, Fer guson came to Nebraska as the first chief justice of the territorial supreme court. Prior to his ap pointment by President Franklin Pierce, he lived in Albion, Mich., where he had moved from New York in 1846. There he had served as district attorney and as a member of the state legislature. The Fergusons arrived a t Bellevue, October 11, 1854. One of Ferguson’s first acts as chief jus tice was to administer the oath of office to Gov. Francis Burt: who had arrived a few days be fore and who lay ill in Rev. Wil liam Hamilton’s mission house. Two days later Governor Burt died, and the new chief justice’s first public address consisted of remarks at the governor’s funeral. Judge Ferguson also was present at t h • ceremonies marking the birth of printing in Nebraska, and it was he who pulled the first proof sheet of the Bellevue Palladium. As chief justice, he organized the frist district and supreme courts of Nebraska and assisted the first territorial legislature in drafting the first code of laws en acted for the government of the territory. The Fergusons, by virtue of the Judge’s position and their many fine qualities, soon assumed a post of leadership in territorial so ciety. The Judge, in common with virtually all ambitious men in the territory, was active in politics. In 1857 he ran for the post of delegate to Congress, the highest position within the gift of the territorial electorate and one that always was much sought aft er. He defeated the incumbent, Bird B. Chapman, and almost in the tradition of delegate elections, found his seat contested by Mr. Chapman. The house of repre sentatives seated Ferguson, how ever, and he served one term as delegate from Nebraska. While representing Nebraska in congress, Ferguson introduced bills providing for a surveyor gen eral for the territory, and for a territorial penitentiary. He also introduced a bill to provide a bridge across the Platte River. At the end of his term as dele gate, Judge Ferguson returned to Bellevue to practice law. His career as a lawyer was short lived, however. Shortly after re turning to Nebraska he contracted an illness from which he never recovered and which resulted in his death October 11, 1859. He I was buried in the Bellevue ceme i tery. __ ♦ October SHELHAMER FOODS I FREESuper Ph. 56 — Union Ph. 78DELIVERY SNACK BAR REFRESHMENTS MALTED MILK.20c BANANA SPLITS... 25c - TRY A DISH OF OUR SOFT FROZEN CREAM ICE CREAM, All Flavors, Per Pint.25c, Qt.50c !______ > ISERV-IT OLEO, 4 Lbs.99c FIRST PRIZE 3 No. 2Vi Cans PORK-BEANS.49c [SQUARE DEAL FLOUR 50-Lb.
