pipe line would make a denmml for
largo quantities of crude oil for fuel ,
not only for manufacturing , but for

The explosive vigor characteristic of
pioneer life in tbo west is now n romin-
ifacence. A moro modern spirit dom
inates the land. In years not long past
the ruling principle was the survival of
the quickest , lie who questioned the
veracity of stranger or acquaintance or
impugned their moral status invariably
drew hib gun , not only to punelualo his i
romarkb but to provonlnsuddou funeral.
80 marked was this characteristic that
lie who wagged n llippant tongue was
looked upon n n prospective suicide i
one who harbored tin tired fooling
which loads to the grave.
The change from pioneer methods to
modern freedom on the frontier was
conspicuous in the Into campaign.

Among the staunch , fursoolng finan
ciers and builders whoso aggressive
anterprlso opened the until of progress
In the transmts3tsslppl region , Mr.
James F. Joy of Detroit enjoys front
rnnk. In u talk with a reporter of the
Detroit Free Press Mr. .Toy gave instruc
tive reminiscences of railroad building
across Iowa and the m.iklng of towns
on tVo Missouri river.
"There was no trouble , ' said Mr.
Joy , "In obt-iining Iho right to bridge
either the Mississippi or the Missouri.
The diilleulty was in trotting money to
do the work. The returns from an in-
vestment In building a railroad across
the slate of Iowa , 'WO mlle < > , through
a country almost unsettled , wore
not easily percolvablo , and many men of
courage and enterprise were slow to en
gage in what seemed to them a doubtful
scheme. The Quinoy road had obtained
n small land grant In Iowa , about 400.mi
000 ticroj , and with the help of that , and
the strength of our connections to the
cast thoChioago , ISurlington & Quinoy ,
nnd the Michigan Central the money
was raised to build to the Missouri river ,
Our terminus there was to bo at the
point where the river Piatte debouches
into the Missouri , Plattsmouth illo
gotlier the best place for the crowing ,
nnd otherwise dosirublo for a town but
wo subsequently turned there and wont
up-stro im to Omaha.
"Tho conclusion shows what slight
things sometimes decide the future of
great cities. When it was discovered
that the Union Pacific , after following
the easy nnd natural route down the
Valley of the Plaltc to within four
miles oi Plattsmouth , deflected thence
and wont up-btroam twenty nnlos over
rough hills and heavy grades to end at
Omaha , C wont to the directors to si-o
about it. They gave mo a hearing , and
I did my bust'to convince them that it
w.is for the interests of their road to
join us at Pluttsmiouth. They agreed j
with mo perfectly on this point , but I
said thov were so tied up , n ? an abeT
lute condition , to make Omaha tlio
terminus , that they could not on any I
consideration , bring their line to Plntts > -
mouth.
SelectInt ; Omnlm.
"President Lincoln , by the tirms of
of the act , decided where the eastern
terminus of the Union Pacilleshould bo.
When ho was asked to select the place ,
ho uut liis linger on the mnp at Omaha ,
and said : 'This must bo the ijoint. '
"I know not whether Mr. Lincoln hnd
any interests in Omaha or not , or what
decided him to bolcct that place as the
tormiuus of the transcontinental line ,
but ho chose it , at any rale , and that
bOttled the question.Vo all wont to
Oinnhn as the terminal point , west , for
our linos. Tlio Quincy , the Hock Inland
and the Northwestern , all reached there
at about the same time. The Rook
Island was the lirst , I believe , to got
there , the Northwestern next. Our ter
minus having be&n Plattsinouth , wa did
"
not , go up to "Omaha until afterwards.
"Tliis was the Hurlington extension
ol the Chicago , Burlington < fc Quincy.
Our Quincy tormiuus remained for some
time longer without any western con
nection. Tlio Hannibal it St. Joseph
railroad was chartered by the legls- .
laturo of Missouri. A portion of the
road was built before the war. The
troubles in that state and the presence
of the atinios there absolutely slopped
all such work as' railroad building.
Afterwards I boenmo president ot the
road , nnd the extension to the Missouri
was immediately undertaken.
"Tho road would have accommodated
our Quincy connection bettor if it had
started from that city , but the Missouri
legislature would not do anything to
advance tno interests of an Illinois town ,
if it might militate against the pros
perity of n Missouri town. Down the
river , a ways below Quincy , was the town
of IJaunibal , ambitious , and inlluontial
enough with the legislature to make it
the chartered starting point of the road.
The war was over and the race for iho
Missouri river was begun from tills town.
We turned our line at Quinoy , and ran
down the river opposite HannilKil ,
and built , n long bridge across tlio Miss-
slpstppi nnd connected wltn the Hanni
bal tSt St. Joseph there.
Ail Important Oiiratinn.
"As wo progressed westward with the
work , it became necessary to decide n
question , as yet unsettled , where should
wo crobb iho Missouri ? Our charter took
us to St. .loseph , but that was not acorn-
plotoly satisfactory point , though wo
built there.
"Ono Sunday evening Ihreo gentlemen -
men from Kansas City came to my homo
in Detroit , nnd in my library they
talked of the advantages of their city
as the terminal point for our rond. They
had loiters with thorn from people In
Boston , wlio wore in control of the Han
nibal ft St. Joseph and the Chicago ,
Buriinglon & Quiney railroads. Those
letters requested mo to go to the Mis
souri river and decide upon the co
for tlio crossing. Another town at
wanted it was Loavonworth , where the
government had established n military
posl nnd built nn important fort.
"Accordingly I wont down Ihoro. Tlio
country hud boon desolated by the war ,
and hud nol yet begun to recover from
ita elYects. At ono plnco wo passed-noar
a village every house in which Had been
stormed , nnd every door und window

"A team toolc mo from St. Joseph ,
twenty miles through tlio woods , ih.nd
there I crossed the river to Lonvon-
worlh. It wan then n city of 0,000 nH' '
7.000 people , it scorned a most bounti
ful place , n magnillcont country , with

.M'.llilnj ; Kfinvin City.
" 1 went up the rUor to Kansas City ,
nnd it seemed to inn the roughest , most
forbidding nnd undesirable place that
men over undertook to build n city In.
The hills rose up from the edge of the
river to the height of IHO foot. The
whole face of the country was a succes
sion of h'lls and ravines. The lulls wore
very high null the ravines were vary
itoop. It compared mint unfavorably
with Loavenworth.
"Leavenworth had charmed mo ; Kan-
pas City disgusled me , yet 1 soon de
cided that Kansas City was the plnco for
our crossing , and made up my mind that
it would bo the biggest city in Iho Mis
souri ' valley , rough as it was.
"Tho reasons wore plain ; the Mis
souri river comes down from tlio north
nnd ut this place turns n rlglitangle and
Hews almost directly east. Tills geographical
graphical , fact marks it as Iho end ot Iho
longesl unobstructed straight line to
the east , and as the starling point of the
most direct ntid straightoat lines to the
soulh , Iho southwest and iho west. Ap-
pioaelmblo straight from the east , the
obvious transportation center of the
country west nnd south , naturo. while
marking ! it out thus distinctly as the
site for a great city , hnd yet thrown
tremendous dlllicultioa in the way of the
men < who might undertake its building.
"Tlio river , as u means of navigation ,
had nothing lo do with my choice of
Kansas City 'is tlio terminus of our road.
Its channel is tortuous and shifting ,
there are frequent sandbars and tit cer
tain seasons very lltllo water in the
river. It was used then to n small ex
tent , but It was easv to see that the rail
roads would do all the transportation
business of the country and the river
would cut no liguro in it. It is rare to
see any kind of n steamer on the Mis
souri now except n ferryboat. The con
figuration ot the river governed the
lines : of travel and everything favored
Kansas City.
"ICans-iH City settled upon as thoplneo
for the bridge , I began arrangements to
build the raihoad. The legislature of
Missouri had chartered a ro.ul known as
tlio Lake Superior , Kansas City & Gulf
ol Mexico railroad. They had largo
ideas ; in the west and this name for n
railroad was n manifestation of thorn.
The charter carried with it the right to
build a bridge and was especially valua-
bio on that nccouut. i obtained the
transfer of this charter to myself , and
to the Ilannilal ili'-St. .losopn and the
Chicago , Burlington V Quincy railroads.
It wns changed in name to the Cameron
& Kansas City railroad not so high-
hounding nn appellation , but much moro
to the liurpobo. Cameron was n place
on the line of the Hannibal fi St. Joseph
railroad , about sixty miles from Kansas
City.
A liluli Country.
"Wlillo building the railroads in Mis
souri I was indued ! . ! ' to travel up and
down the river to O'inrfha , The distance
is about 200 miles , 'jfho country along
the shores is ns riches the valley of the
Nile. There are n 'number of good
towns , Lenvonworth , St. Sosoph and
others. It occurred tto mo that it would
bo ngood thing tot construct a line along
"
the river to conueet"tlfo two cuds of our
roads , the one terminating at Omaha
nnd the othoi-nt Kansas City , and to
reap the benefits Of the tributary coun
try. The line is as level as tbo river ;
there are no grades. The rend was soon
built and has boon a profitable enter
prise. More ii producou to the acre in
its vicinity than in any other ktiow.i
region in the world.
"Tho shares of the Hannibal & St. Joseph -
soph after nwhilo advanced much _ beyond -
yond par , and were in demand at prices
moro than their real value. My Hoston
associates could not withstand the temp
tation to sell. The road passed into the
control of Now York people , and during
that time n connection was built to
Loivvonworth , and a bridge was thrown
across the river thoro. It has not inured
to the advantage of the company , and
has demonstrated that the key to the
trade of all that country is K.insas City.
"This is about all of the story of the
building of the first railroads west of the
Mississippi nnd the Missouri. Tlio
wonderful development of 'ho country
has causoJ it to lie covered with such
lines , nnd they nro constantly boinir in
creased in number. My own efforts were
confined to the pioneer linos. "
