Especial Omaha CNeb) Letter.

Your correspondent visited Omaha
for the second time, to-day. His first
visit was in 1867, when the western
terminus of the Rock Island road
landed passengers little west of Des
Moines, Ia, and the old Concord stage
was the only means of passage on to
Omaha. To be sure, the old Hannibal
q st. Joe road, in connection with the
river boats between st. Joseph and
Omaha, afforded an easier means of
reaching the Nebraska metropolis.
There was then no railroad bridge at
Omaha, and the incoming passengers
had to be ferried across the river. The
great transcontinental line, the Union
Pacific, was then under construction.
Its material and rolling stock had to be
transported on barges up the river.
When President Lincoln designated
Omaha as the eastern terminus of the
Union Pacific line, he fixed the destiny
of this city. And l remember that the
people here were eXultant and conf
dent that this act of Old Abe, cOnsum-
mated after personal inspection of the
topography of competing sites along
the river, would put Omaha on the
high road to fortune and make it ulti-
mately the largest city between Chi
cago and San Francisco. This predic-
ton has been realized. Three bridges
now span the river at this point and IA
railways enter the gates of Omaha.
When first saw Omaha the population
was estimated at $4,000. To-day ten
times that number is claimed, while the
population of Nebraska has grown to
million and quarter.
At that time Omaha was an outpost
of the frontier. To-day there are 49,
100000 people west of the river. Ne
braska had been admitted to statehood
few months prior to my visit and,
with the exception CT Kansas. Texas.
