CRAZY CRCCKEH'S DREAM
His Prediction of II Transcontinental

His Prediction of n Transcontinental
Railroad Kidiculed.
The National Magazine has an inter-
esting article or the development of
American railroad systems, by E. E.
Clark, grand chief conductor Of the
Order of Railroad Conductors.
When the late "CharHe Crocker OF
Central Pacific railway fame. crossing
the plains in the forties was by OK
team over the old emigrant trail from
Council Bluffs to San Francisco, he
frequently predicted that within
co2-arstivelv few wears steam rail-
read would be running across the con-
tinent. following substantially the
same course Travelled by them. His
prediction was considered so absurd
by his associates that he was nick
named Cray Crocker" Mr.. Crock
er had the satisfaction Of not only see
ing his prediction come true. but OF
being one of the leading spirits in the
construction of the first transcOntinen-
tai railroad.
Since Mr.. Crocker's dream was re-
allied and the first transcontinental
line was completed five other distinct
and separate lines have been built to
the Pacific coast, namely: The Cana
dian Pacific, the Great Northern, the
Northern Pacific. the Santa Fe. and
the Southern Pacific. With the exten-
sion of the roads and the building up
of large systems has come a corre-
spending increase in the amount OF
business. and the building Of railroads
in unsettled and comparatively unex-
plored portions of our domain has dong
more to develop the resources of the
country than all other agencies put
together
