the last spike of the Great Northern
line was driven at point deep down
in the Skyomish valley, thirteen miles
west of the Stevens Pass summit, in
the state Of Washington. Shepard s
firm built all the Great Northern's eX-
tensions.
No other similar period of railroad
building has equaled in achievement
that brief stretch of less than six years.
In the winter of 1867 the system. then
known as the st. Paul. Minneapolis &
Manitoba railroad, had practically
reached Mnot. $50 miles from st. Paul.
At the beginning of 1885 the system
was completed to Puget sound. total

three miles a day as an average. lad

In accomplishing this stupenious
task Shepard's men encountered every
variety of construction known. Hun

the grades amounted to nothing more
than casting the earth up high enough
for the track to clear itself of ordinary
snowfalls. Other reaches We're along
side the mighty water courses Of the
west. where long embellishments and
deep cuts were in order. In some
places extensive trestles were needed.
In the mountain divisions there were
tunnels and other difficult 0ck work
to be built Until the construction
neared the Pacific coast. all the nateri-
ais and supplies had to be got from the
eastern end of the line. Over and over

tor have been exerted in thirteen states
and in the queens American domin-
ions On the basis that railroad build
ing can be prosecuted not more than
200 days each year, as rule, because
of the weather. Mr.. Shepard built rail-
roads at an average rate of nearly
mile day throughout the whole of his
forty active years. Had the rails he
put down been along a continuous line
of single track road, ii would reach as
far as from London to Calcutta in an
air line and from there - Pekin.
Within the last few years railroad
systems approXimating in mileage the
total of Mr.. Shepard's construction
have been created by consolidation. but
there is no line in the world. either
completed or in prospect, the terminals
of which are separated by any such
distance RuSSia's great trans-Asian
line. now being built between Moscow
and Vladivostock, comes nearest, but
will be enough to build single track
line from New York to Chicago-even
should the longer. more northerly line
be chosen Shepard's railroad construc-
ton has been sufficient to complete
the entire trans-Asian line, the longest
in the world all sidings and spurs in
cluded. no matter what route may be
chosen. with track enough to spare for
a double track line between Boston and
New York.
Here is a table showing the total
number of miles he laid down and the

simple time tables under which its few
trains were run in the early sixties are
still carefully preserved in the Shep-
ard archives. 1t was not till 1887 that
he forsook everything for railroad
construction, renouncing therefor the
prospective presidency of a highly i'm

performance that followed There were
two small Spanish gunboats in the mar
Dor, and when they saw us nOsinS
about outside they came out and start
ed in our direction. We had received
no order TO photograph pursuing gun
boats. and we weren't certain as To
whether a moving picture apparatus
would be considered contraband of war
or not So this time we made no EFFORT
to discourage the energies OF the crew.
In fact. we turned to and poured OIL
over the coal that was spread out on
the deck, and then passed 1t down
below until we had flames coming out
of the top of the smokestacks and We're
leaving Porto Rico in our wake at the
rate of fifteen knots per hour.
There was beer and champagne on
board. and in our anxiety lest the
stokers might give out. we passed both

until we were safe within the harDor

Another photographer who went
down to Cuba TO do land work was set
ashore with his apparatus by the yacht
that had brought him. Along came

Yacht. The man was left at spot
where there was nothing TO photograph

Getting Down to Business.
II was James ]. Hill who induced
Shepard TO make railroad building his
sole occupation for the remainder of
his DAYS. Hill had already done a good
deal toward expanding his st. Paul &
Pacific line into the present Great
Northern system, and was ready to
push operations with greater vigor
than ever. Hitherto his construction
work had been i'm the hands of num-
Der of contractors, Shepard and his
firm being among them. From that
time on Hill wanted all his railroad
building 10 be done by one firm. He

wanted to build railroads faster than
they had ever been built before. yet he
wanted them built economically and
thoroughly. He knew that his require
ments could be met only by a railroad
builder who had unusual executive
ability and courage, who was progress
i've enough to make use of all the lat
est railroad building devices and had
sufficient ingenuity to invent still
newer devices, should occasion demand
them. Hill selected Shepard as the
man he wanted, and after some hest
tation. Shepard's firm took the job.

Chicago and New York. While he
was engaged thereon he had to spend
his time in the valley of the >Ius-
kingun and he got the ague so bad
that he pulled up stakes as soon as
the contract was finished and struck
farther out into the west. Thereafter,
as the table giving his record shows,
he wrought mainly in the northwest
ten of the thirteen states in which he
operated king west of the Mississippi
while over 500 miles of his construc-
ton was in that region.

to be solved on the minu-e, so 20 speak.
Much of the territory swarmed with In
dams. though. fortunately, they dis
played no great hostility.
Through it all Mr.. Shepard's was the
guiding spirit. Like military invader,
he planned each years campaign in
advance and kept himself in close touch
with his forces. They were almost as
numerous as an invading army would
be. 1t would make this article read
too much like, an extract from sta
tistical work to go into complete de-
tails. but some idea of the magnitude
of Shepard's operations may be brief
ly given by the statement that on the
average in 1857, 5000 men and $500
teams (6.600 horses) were employed on
the grading. while 600 men and 225

When David c. Shepard of st. Paul
retired from active life a half dozen
years ago at the age of 66 he had the
satisfaction of knowing that he had
built more miles of railroad than any
other man living or dead: that he had
made the worlds record for rapid track
laying and that no other man had in
creased the railroad mileage of so
many states in this Union as he. Mr..

1t should be understood clearly in

Mr.. Shepard is generally considered
typical westerner. and properly so, Tor
his energies have been mainly eXpend-
ed and nearly all his adult life has
been lived in the west. But, like many

His family was an important one in
state politics. and he Immediately got
a lob as surveyor on the long since
abandoned Genesee valley canal.
He remained in state employ for
about five years. and very likely would
never have struck out for himself had
the workings of the canal department
been satisfactory 10 him. But they
were not. and so, in 1852. he renowned
state employment forever and devoted
some months TO engineering work on a
new railroad from CananGaigua to
Niagara Falls, now a part of the New
York Central system. The next year
he decided 10 work for nobody but

the timber work. The total average
force directly employed upon the work
then was $3.50 men and 1850 horses,
but the entire number of persons de-
irving support from the work was
much larger. All hands had to be fed
and cared for, and this occupied the
energies of a large number; besides
there was a big contingent of camp
followers as there always is when
such an enterprise is being pushed for
ward.
