It were, to the sound of the hammer strokes which drove home the last spike and linked together in a commercial sense the great producing region of the west and the consuming centers of the east. All the principal offices of the country were connected by telegraph with the now for gotten town of Promontory and the click of the Instrument communicated the news to waiting thousands. The governor of California had come from the coast to attend the ceremonies, but from the east there was the scantiest representation. The last tie was made of highly polished California laurel. On this tie was a silver plate bearing the Inscription: The Last Tie Laid in the Completion of the Pacific Railroad, May 10, 1K6. into this were driven four splKes, two of silver and two of gold, and the great V If rt.

"Hats off!" was the message clicked by the tele graph Instruments to the east, and then after the Invocation by Rev. Dr. Todd of Plttsfleld, "We have gbt done praying.' Buck came the answer: "We understand; all are ready In the east." Isr-Hcacslnc Achievement. And with that simple ceremony was com pleted the great achievement of which Sid ney LMllon, president of the Credit Mubiller the company which constructed the Union Pacific, said many years afterward: "It Is not too much to say that the open ing of the Parlflo road, viewed simply in Its relatiun to the spread of population, de velopment of resources tand actual advance of civilisation, was an event to be ranked in far-reaching results with the landing of Die rilni)iu. or perhaps the voyage cf Columbus." In view of this opinion, one is left to wonder as to what would have been the result of the Louiniana Purchase, for Instance, without the binding railroad link. Within the period of little more than a generation since the ceremony the old west has practically vanished and with it the features which made the building of the first Paclflo road a wonderful romance. In the first twenty-five years after the com pletion of the Union Paclflo It accom plished extraordinary results. And yet to day everything haa changed so surpris ingly that the work of that period scams crude and almost careless. The difference In watdrn railroading between what has been and what Is may be found iu a comparison of the first line of the surl. In Us early days and the latest the western Pacific, which is now nearly completed, and is to form a link In the Gould transcontinental system, giv ing a direct line under one management from San Francisco to the Atlar.tlc. When the first road was built engineers ran their tracks around a boulder rather than move It, and even gave way to the largust trees. And though an authority writes that the constructors of the Union Paclflo bullded better than they knew, It has taken at least a $!00,(XXXiO to recon struct the road and make It an efficient transportation system.

The boulder which obstructed the early engineer has become but a pebble to his successor. In the early days it was "get there somehow." Today, it Is get there wisely. Here is the man date sent forth to the engineers of thi Western Pacific: "You are to build a road Btralght; which In no case will exceed a maximum grade of 1 per cent." In '69 that mandate would have spelled Impossibility; today it is an accomplished fact. Indeed, on the older Pacific rouda grades were as they might be. Th? Western Pacltlc has been built In a way which gives it on ho per cent of its mllcagu from Suit I.aku City to San Francisco, a maximum Kfadu of fuur-tetilh of 1 per cent, or a fro'iiun over twenty-one f-et to the mile.

It Is recorded that on the Union Pacific in early days the grades Increased the op erating expenses 3u(i per cent. Contrariwise the lack of grades on the latest Pacific doad is suvlug Just that much. And the Indian. T:ie change In westerr. railroading indicates the change In his cus toms. In the beginning he fought and scalped the builders. Today he Is a mera wlelder of the pick at-d shovel on tho lino. The railroad owes a certain debt to the Indian of early days, for It was due to him that the best way through the Iilack bills s discovered. Known as Sherman's Pass, It was found only after approached an ao cldent to (leneral Dodge, an engineer of Ine Unlon Pacific. After having searched In vain for a suitable route, he was chased one way by a band of Indians, and, escaping, found that he had done so through the pass for which he had Ixen searching. Old and w Methods. While the early Pacific roads may seem to have been hastily constructed, It Is not to be supposed that the neweHt Western Pacific outstripped them In tills respect. Indeed, In its fruition ' this road has been slower than Its predecessors. A 1 per cent maximum s,radu is not achieved In a day. It was conceived by K, T. Jeffery, who closely followed General Palmer as presi dent of the I)ener & Hlo (Jrande, and haa been brought to completion by blm. As soon as he succeeded to tne presidency In 1K91 Mr. Jeffery perceived the need of an outlet to the Pacific coast. Under the goad of "a maximum grade of I per cent'' tho engineers worked for years, and thousands of pages of statistics were collected In or der that tho line might be hullt accord ingly. Early builders hail no Idea of im al freight, but tho Wectern Pacific engineers laid out a road designed primarily to get It. Instead of building to reach the cooat somehow, anyhow, as In the early days, they considered the commercial factors all along the line. There. In a word, Is the gratest differ ence between the early roads and th latest. The west In the early days wu merely a. gap to be bridged to a supposed oriental trade. Today that Is an almost negligible factor compared to tho Impor tance of providing for local traffic and de veloping nc territory. In 1Si'.9 the west was nothing, in V. it is everything.
