in many cases. it had to be changed
to overcome one great obstacle which
one unacquainted with the country
would never dream ol-the question
of snow. Every summit, every
mountain side, every valley, had to
be studied to find from the currents
which was the snowy side and which
the barren; and over the whole [, 500
miles of line located for the Union

were kept in tents or dugouts watch

The charter of 1854 provides
that the loan in bonds shall change
SIG, 900 a mile to $50 900 at the
East base of the Rocky Mountains
and the West base OF the Sierra
Nevada. When the mountains were
reached a series of questions arose
as to how this base should be de
termined. The eastern base was
determined by Mr.. Blickensderler,
who was appointed by the govern
mcnt. After examining the country
he declared it to be right at the foot
of the mountains, where the heavy
grades to overcome the first range,
the Black Hills, were made neces-
sary--a very proper decision.
The west base of the Sierra was
located near Sacramento, where the
DRIFT of the mountains reached into
that valley, or where you might say
the first approach to the mountains
begin, but long before the heavy
grades commenced.
A good story is told, the truth of
which will not be vouched for, in re-
lation to the fixing of the base. BY
