Thlnus were different on that May day
of 1869, althouh the whole country, which
u lunar had held aloof from the Pacific
railroad projects, seemed to awaken and
realise the meaning or the ceremony wnicn
wa blna Drrformed at the little tow a of
lYomontory, In Vtsh. 62s miles east of
Kurrlmt-ntO.
I-Vw nereons Slithered to Witness the
stent as couiar4 to the number that had
attended the far more Imposing ceremony
when ground was broken lo' Omaha -In
1864. And yet the whole country gave ear.
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,

link to the Pacific was completed. "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. Judged by modern
standards.
Obstructions ot Heeded.

turn the engineer aside. 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. Y. luit mis meuna to the layman may
best bi- explained by thu statement, bna-l
on offi- 'al motives through tin; moat moun
tuinuu ''rr.iory in the country a hauling
power cu'jul to that or, tho Lake Shore
and Michigan Southern, in the cabt.
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. New
