EARLY RAILROAD BUILDING.
A Retired New York Lawyer Chats of

Mr.. and Mrs. I. NJ. North, of New York city,
are among the guests at the Rainier hotel. Mr..
North, who is a retired LAWYER is making q
pleasure trip to the Pacific coast He was inter-
ested in the construction of the Hudson River
railroad, now part of the great Vanderbilt sys-
tenn. In those days he passed upon the titles of
the roads property. and acted counsel OF the
company. THAT was long before the Wander
bilts came into control of the line" be said yes
terday. "The first railroad in New York state
ran from Albany to Schenectady. The second
was from Hudson over into Berkshire county,
Mass. In 1876 the Hudson River road obtained
Its charter. Work was begun soon after and the
line was put into operation first to Pough-
keepsie. and afterward piece by piece up the
river TO Albany. The building of the railroad
was obstinately fought by the old Dutch fami-
lies and the other settlers along the river. The
De Peysters and the Livingstons, who owned
fine places along the east bank, naturally did
not like to have the tracks laid between them
and the water. Now and then an obstinate
farmer would give US much trouble, while the
steamboat companies were, OF course, our ene-
mics.
Railroads were new then and people had no
idea of the way in which the country would be
developed by them, and of the gain 10 those liv-
Ing along the line"
