dies more than the cost of the construc-
ton of the road, and Cakes Ames of
Easton, Mass, who was interested in
the building Of the road, formed COR
poration which became known as 'the
Credit Mobilierof America" which was
to receive all the profits of the con.
structors and divide them among the
stockholders in the Credit Mobilier.
The profits were enormous, amounting
to $43, ,929, 1928. Under the Ames con.
tract alone and within one year divi-
dends were paid amounting to 545 per
cent on the capital stock. The matter
was investigated by congress and the
expulsion of Ames from the house OF
representatives Of which he was then
member, was recommended. It was,
however, never carried out.
The first eleven miles of the road
were completed Sept 25, 1865, and the
road was completed to its junction with
the Central Pacific at Promotory Point,
Utah, May 10, 1869. The meeting of
the two roads was duly celebrated.
Governor Leland Stanford of California
and president of the Central Pacific,
was present, as was Vice President
Iurant, Of the Union Pacific. Ties
were laid for the rails and when they
met the last spike was driven. Tele-
graph wires were connected so that
each blow of the descending sledge was
reported instantly in all the large cities
from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
The Last Spike Driven.
The last spike was Of gold and was
driven home into tie from California,
with silver sledge welded alternately
by Governor Stanford and Mr.. Durant.
Celebrations in honor of the completion
of the road were held in most of the
large cities of the union.
The road was operated by its officers
until Oct. IL, 1893, when it passed into
the hands of receivers. 1t had
been in their control but few over
four years when it will be bought in by
the reorganization committee.

lished at Ann Arbor, Mich, from Nov.
IS, 1929, to Dec. l, 1894. The article
advocating the railway appeared on
Feb. q, 1882, and it was eagerly taken
up and discussed by various newspapers
and periodicals. Asa Whitney, mer.
chant of New York, who had travelled
in Europe, China and Japan consider
ably, was most prominent in urging
the project. The aim and object of his
life was the building of a railway from
Lake Michigan or the Mississippi river
to the Pacific coast. He first brought
the project to the attention of congress
in a memorial presented by him to the
senate and to the lower house on Jan.
28, l845. Whitney spent much time
and all of his money in furthering his
schemes, and wound up by selling milk
in the City Of Washington for iveli-
hood. A bill that passed the United
States senate June 20, 1852, by a vote of
% II was the actual starting Of the
Union Pacific. The house passed the
bill by vote Of loaf ~, and four days
later President Lincoln made it q law

The company was formally chartered
July 2, 1862, with authority to construct
q railway from Omaha to the eastern
boundary of the State Of California.

vided for government subsidy equal

the line between the Missouri river and
the base of the Rocky mountains; $48,.

per mile for the distance intermediate
between the Rocky and Sierra Nevada
ranges, and $48, 200 per mile for q dis
tance of 100 miles through the Sierra
Nevada. The company had also land
grant equaling l2,800'acres to the mile.
The original act provided that the
government subsidy should be a first

began the study Of law under the pre-
ceptorship of his father. AS early as
1856 left Syracuse, N. Y, and went
to Omaha. He was the first City At
torney of Omaha, and has steadfastly
devoted himself to the pursuit of his
profession. declining all temptations to
wander into political fields foreign to
the law. He was admitted to practice
before the Supreme Court Of the Uni
ted States in 1862. and since that time
he has argued more cases before thas
court than any lawyer west Of Chicago.
Apartfromlaw books, MI. Woolworth's
studies have been wide and varied. His
essays. addresses and lectures on gen.
eral subjects show his great versatility
and comprehensiveness Of mind. In
1915 Racine College conferred upon
him the degree of LII. d. In 1892 the
University Of Nebraska made him
