FAMOUS MEN OF THOSE DAYS , And Thn Part They Took In tli * In auguration'of One of tlio Great est Enterprises' Modern Times Etc.Etc. . Building the Union Pacific. "I wish to'recall attention to state . ment I recently"made'about the ro'ason why Mr. Peter" A. Doy , the early Chief ohgineor'of th'o Union Pacific resigned his position. Mr. Popplcton- through the Mercury , corrects my statement , andlboliovo properly , although there might have been at the time some dis pute about that. According to'Mr < Pop- ploton's statement , and Mr. Boll of the Mercury prints a letter verifying it , Mr" . Bey resigned because it was coating n larger amount of money to build through Mud Creek than it would hayo- on' the Doy line , and Mr. Doy holding that his honor was'involved , would not permit it to bo compromised. All who know him will know that this was very characteristic , and I have no question of the truth of the matter as stated by Mr. Popploton. ft is errors like these into which mon whoso memories are not liable to'grasp "all the incidents and movo'moTi'ts in this part of the world in the early days will fall. "Whilst upon this subject i wish fo say that in 1863 , when Mr. Doy oogan thri stfrvoys of th6 Union Pacific , assd- cfatod with him at that time or soon af ter was our5 well known'follow'townsman , Mr. J. E. Houso' . It was in February 186 , - that the liritf was Cha'riged to' Mud crook" , the present roadb'e'd of th'o Union Pacific. In November of tliat ye a'f Mr. John' A.-fionry' , of Davenport , was ap pointed engineer in' charge of construc tion" , and Borved in that capacity until his resignation in the spring of 186(1. ( Mr. House1 was called into' the' service in im mediate charge of all'construction work , find in that dapaolty he located the first 200 miles , graded the first 100 miles and ironed the first forty miles. He direct ed tha emotion of the original shop buildings , saw mill and burnoUizor. a machine for burnottfzing' ties' , which was eo much'of a' failure that it disap peared in due time * . General O. M. Dodge4 was appointed chief englneor of the road in May , I860 , arid it was at hla personal solicitation and request that Mr Hotfse was transferred from the construction to the engineering depart ment and placed In charge' of the Oma ha office' with th'e title of dlvls on engineer neerMf. . House filled this' position until the completion of the road in May , 18ftO.Nowords need be spoken about thtflonffV faithful and able service- Mr , House in connection with the groat- oat railway enterprise of modern times , "I doslro'to introduce at this time the name of a mrtn famous in his day fpr his public service in congress and for his military1 service in the war ; and whom erhap * as much as any other ft decided the fate of Missouri at the early bwgln- ufng ot the war , and who wao the intellectual and moral warrior bohiud tlio movement which' resulted in the capture of Camp Jackson under Lyon in ,1801 , ( Lyon , the hero of Dug Springs ) , who flow &t the head of his small column to do battle aganst | Price , and decided the destiny ot Missouri as a union state. I refer to Francis P. 'Blair , jr. , who wag a candidate 'for the vice presidency on tho" ticKet with Horatio Seymour in 1868 , As bravo and gallant a spirit , whether" in civic"or military lifen9 Over honored the Amor Lean name" or nation. Ho was among the mon hero in the very earliest periods.of the con struction of the Union Pacific" , and camo. to Omaha as a commission to inspect the road. and report thereon. Tlio little village that then received him with th'o courtesy t and cordiality duo to n man of his' rank and record contains.few poo"plff in its present dimensions to-day who remember the' genial and gontip Blair , in social lifo ' unsurpusscd , in" days of trial possessing courage that illus trated every act , ho was ready to face death at any time in vindication of his p6rson'al character or in defense of the public will. A long story could bo told of.tho gallant Francis B'lair. of his anti-slavery war in Missouri , which came noar" costing him his lifo , nnd of his war for the restoration of the" rights of the people of Missouri after the war 'in which no took his lifo and resisted the tyranny yisited upon confederates in that state. But enough. Ho was with us and walked about-in this midst , ppont a few days with friends , examin ing the railroad at intervals , finally re turned to St. Louis , and Bleeps ttioro , honored of all mon. Another .character came upon the scene'and had moro or loss connection with the' ineipionoy of the Union Pa cific work" . It was that of a man whoso name has- become a household word to everybody in- this part Of the west < - I- nlludo to as true and manly und pure n 6ptrit as I have ever known among mon , and his other name was .Ed ward Croighton. The tolograpti was the * pioneer of . the railroad- nnd JEdward Creighton brought chained liphtning to Omaha , drove it over the mountains' and connected it with' the Pacific ocean personally. This was his own work * . -He was supported by Wndo , of Cleveland , and others. Ho not only built the flrst line for Stubbing to'Omaha from Missouri , but across the mountains , tlio Kevadasati well ns the Hookies , and as Mr.Sorrenson -in hia book well says , "acquiring a national fam'tf and princely ; foi'tuno. " I shall not go Into this history. L merely want to say'that Mi1 * Creighto'n had con- coivoa the idea awa.vr back as early as 1850 , three yoars. aftOr ho came to Omaha , of buildlncj telegraph line to the Pacific ocean. Ho carried it out by his personal energand I concur ire the statoniont thatoils bringing" 6f the telegraph line hove" may buvo had , and probably did hSvbjtt strong influ ence in making'Omaha-tho terminus of the Pacific railroad. H is true of him al o that lie conceived the ideaof se curing telegraph connection with Europe by running"a line up th'o Pacific coast to Behring strafghta across which ho' dreamed that' bo might some day throw a cable and make ma way eOsc through the Russian pdssosBtons. The Western Union company made the survey Knd if it had not been for1 the laying of the Atlantic cable it la not at all improbable that this great enterprise would have boon consummated by the. man capable of any work which his big head would consent to undertake.

As long : ago as thirty-four years I remember" to nave mot him and I was his family physician when ho re sided over on what is now kno'wn ns Park Wilde in a log house that was near to the residence' of Mr. Kountzo' . This family of Dodge , Hko' the Dodges Here , has made a very strong mark upon the history of this country , particularly this part of it. The father of Gojieral Dodge was erie of the pioneer farmers of Nebraska along the Elkhorri away back in 1855. The general's career as engineer in civil lifo and as a soldier of renown in the war is known. Kisinjj frdrn the rank of colonel in' an Iowa regiment to tho' rank of major general , in car'ryiner a stronghold at Atlanta under tlio most terrific fire of history , supposed to' have boon fatally wounded , but as we are all aware reviving , and appearing" hero to-day. General Dodge retained his chief onginoorship , as may have boon $ Jated before , during the war. and oven after his retirement-on sick leave , after the war had closed , ho com manded this entire western country with many" thousands of troops under his command. Ho is now1 , of courso.tho owner and manager of largo properties in railroads , in Texas , hero and other parts of the country , and perhaps as widely known as any other roan in the country in connection with all railroad enterprises of later' days' as well as of the early days , being a proinotor of the Texas Pacific , which ho constructed , nnd of other lines in that nart of the country under Mr. Gould's system , including what might bo' called his own road now completed from Port Worth' , To'xaSrf to Denver. General Dodge has been a director from the very outset in the Pacific railroad as well as its chief engineer tot so many year's.- I may havo'to tnlk very plainly about the general in connection with the location of the Union Pacific bridge , ever which a controversy arose that lasted many years , and I shall have something to say concerning that which many gentlemen in Omaha will doubtless not agree with , but I intend to give Tun BEK the truth of that his tory as I think I know and understand it from beginning to end , and I hope to do this in our next conversation.
