STAMP
In the month of January, 1868, the
company applied to congress for a grant
Of lands to aid in building this road, be-
lieving the general government should
act as literally toward Nebraska as she
had with her sister state of Iowa in
granting public lands to aid in building
railroads, and believing with such land
grants the state of Nebraska might be
made equal to the state of Illinois in
wealth and population and in view of
the large grant Of lands and money to
the Union Pacific Railroad, running
through Nebraska north of the Platte
river, we claimed that justice demanded
a grant of land to u road, as an east
and west road through Nebraska south
of the Platte river, running from Ne
braska City, the largest city south of
the Platte, a city of 5000 inhabitants,
to Lincoln, the capital of the state, and
from thence to a connection with the
great national highway, the Union Pa
SlhS, az q III " OIU AC1Iucy,
thereby placing this section of Nebraska
on a through line of railroad, and also a
remedy for our isolation by the Platte
river. We still hope our rights will ul-
timately be recognized and the grant
made.
The survey of the road was COM
ronr1nI ~ %I1 ~,@nk. c NE--1l 1000
The difficulties known to exist in run
ming a railroad from the Missouri river
directly west, the company made a COM
plete and thorough survey of all the
water courses and ground west of Ne
braska City, and by careful compari-
son found the route by Walnut creek
the cheapest and best-much less grade,
and much less cost in grading, bridging
and right of way, and much more con-
venient for the railway company, and,
as the directors thought, much more
convenient for the public, as it did
not interfere with or cross any public
street or ground, endangering the lives
of citizens or teams in the limits of the
city. After the location was made by
the Walnut creek route, and contracts
let, the ceremony of breaking ground
was attended by alarge gathering of peo-
pie, and eloquent speeches were made
by Hon. O. P. Mason, Hon. J. F. Kinney,
and Hon. S. H.. Calhoun, mayor of Ne
braska City, thus commencing the great
work that is to be, when finished, a
national highway, and the means of
making and building a great city on the
site of old Fort Kearney, now Nebraska
City.
Soon after the commencement of the
work, a feeling of dissatisfaction among
the people of Nebraska City, at the loca-
ton Of the road on the Walnut creek
