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.
It may ba interesting for mo * to refer
to the visit of General Dodge , so long
chief engineer of the rood , who came
here two or three days since , in which

of the days of wHich I am speaking1 , in
a drive ever the city which ho _ saw a't
its birth. 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.
