Goodrich also got the magistrates ear
with a similar appeal and threat, he and
Watson having arranged the matter be-
tween them to get some fun out Of the
situation.

Would any one be hardy enough to stand
up In a republican country and claim for
its government a power which an eastern
monarch dared not to assume?"
General Collins, now mayor Of Boston,
has often said that in the law he has
found that there has been hardly In incl
dent Of his early days but has proved Of
service to him in his profession. An in-
stance Of this occurred not so very long
ago. relates the Saturday Evening Post,
and is still fresh In many minds. He was
appearing before a high court in a case
in which a large amount Of upholsterlng
was in question.
The contention of his clients was that
the work had been improperly done and
that therefore they should not be called
upon to take the goods.
The case went along at usual length,
with no evidences Of extraordinary exer-
tion on the part Of General Collins until
the exhibit was put In evidence, when
with perfect confidence he announced that
he proposed to make his demonstration
and thereon rest his case. Swinging one
Omaha daily bee., 1902-02-09

of the chairs to the table in front OF him
he began to tear II to pieces till the dis
jolnted frame lay naked before him.
Judge, jury and lawyers were watching
him with open eyes. Then with all the
ease of a trained mechanic he began to
assemble the parts and within half an
hour he displayed the chair finished and
complete as he thought it should be.
The difference was apparent at once, and
the case was won. When the questioners
came about him, with inquiries as to how
he had been able to acquire SO thorough a
knowledge in so short a time as the case
allowed, he replied that when almost a boy
he had served his time at the trade.
Not many years ago, when he was a
young lawyer, Congressman Watson of In
diana was one Of the attorneys in a suit
over a pig. Judge Goodrich, subsequently
chairman OF the republican state commit
tee, was on the other side, and the case
was before a portly magistrate Of the name
Of Reverdy Pickett, who was running as
a candidate for mayor Of Winchester.

afternoon, before the case came up for

In some mining camp a copy OF the statutes
of British Columbia, and he adjudicated
cases by that code, and some Of his rulings
were bizarre. One day a chicken peddler
drifted that way from another state and
was promptly arrested.
"'You are fined $50 for selling chickens

had heard the evidence.
"'But l haven't that much money

the Judge.

OF another car shop, and then the former
car shop was at once transformed into a
second machine shop. With these two the
company has run along till now. when II
will build a new one larger than both to-
gether. Gradually a sheet iron shop and a
tin shop were introduced between the ma
chine shops and the round house, and then
a foundry was built Just north Of the black
smith shop. The capacity of this place was
also increased, so that instead OF the twelve
FORCES with which Il started there are now
forty in full blast.
Then a pattern storehouse was set be-
tween the foundry and the car shop, and a
detached ONCE building was built south of
the blacksmith shop. Away up north Of the
machine shops were added a paint shop and
a locomotive carpenter shop. Then a long
storehouse. an icehouse, a heating plant
and a Dillon shed we're built along the east
side Of the yards near the river.
A sand house had been placed near the
south point of the round house. and an oil
house was built. south Of the Offices. h
last structure erected was the boiler shop,
which now stands the furthermost south
shop of all, and in excellent condition.
Work Now in Progress.
The changes now in progress involve the
ripping out bodily of all the four holdings
between the boiler shop to the south and the
second machine shop to the north. The
buildings were the shestiron shop, the tin
shop, the round house and the sand house.
Practically every vestige of them, save the
tracks of the round house is now removed.
So old were these buildings and SO de-
cayed their walls that they crumbled like a
sugar loaf when attacked. The action If
the smoke and various gnses had so disin-
tegrated the mortar between the bricks that
all it's adhesive power was gone, and the
bricks fell to the ground separately, Instead
of in hunks Of ten or twenty as is usual
when a wall is torn down.
In the place Of these four decrepit build
ings will now be reared a monster new ma
chine shop. OF steel frame and immense
piers, It will be modern in every way. The
dimensions are 25Ox4OO feet, giving a floor
space twice as large as that OF all four de-
stroyed buildings combined, and far larger
than that Of the two machine shops still
standing.
This immense structure will be supplied
with modern machinery and tools TO the
value of many hundreds Of thousands of dol
lars. At the same time the old shops are
to be remodeled and their arrangement and
facilities bettered. The new building, with
its fittings, will cost $3.50, 900. 1t will be
finished by January 1 next, IL unlimited
forces Of men can accomplish the work in
that time.
This will be the extent Of this years
work. Much more Is planned TO come. II
is said that 81. 600. 900 additional will be put
into a complete revision OF the yards and
more new buildings soon.

Moines road busy for many months carry
ing In the lumber and other freight.
Not Extensive Save in Name.
At that time omaha's ambitions were CEN
tered about its one great possession, the
Union Pacific Railroad company. This
road at the time of the commencement of
the shops comprised but fifteen miles OF
trackage, extending from Oman west
around the COX Bow" curve. 1t was al
ready known as the Pacific coast connection
to be, and people we're in no wise discon-
certed by the fact that not one two-hun-
dredth part Of the distance was yet spanned
By rails.
So all the talk was of this railroad, and
when the company determined to build the
shops Joy knew no bounds. 1t was in 1864
that the work was finally commenced, and
in the next year the shops we're completed.
A local print of Friday. March 16, 1865, dis
closes the following brief description Of the
place:
Last October the site of these buildings
locked very little like being a hive Of
human industry. On that once desolate
spot is now a magnificent Stationary Steam
Engine, putting and painting, breathing life

and activity into some half a dozen shops
in its vicinity. These buildings are sub
stantially built OF brick and are remark
able for their economy of arrangement.
They are capacious and well ventilated, and
as machine shops more healthily located
than such institutions generally are. There
is a large farmhouse from which, by means
Of a force-pump, water is sent through all
the buildings. There is a large we'll COM
municating directly with the engine house.
A splendid blacksmith shop and machine
shop standing side by side-the blacksmith
shop containing twelve FORCES blown by ma
chine blast. The machine shop is fairly
supplied with machinery for latheing, turn
ing screws, cutting bolts, nuts, etc. The
building Of cars and engines is progressing
with and not impeding the perfection OF
the buildings themselves.
Besides these, there are a roundhouse,
an engine house and a depot. The depot
will soon be replaced by a large and mag
nihcent building, worthy Of the connecting
point Of the great Atlantic and Pacific rail-
road. Materials are on the ground to build
a carshop Immediately. The building is to
be a two-story brick, $50 feet long by 20
feet wide. From the present shop a very

- approaching the reverence ac-
corded antiquity is felt as one witnesses
the demolition of some of the oldest of these
buildings to make way for more pretentious
and stupendous temples of industry.
That the hundreds of workmen who have
devoted the last three weeks to razing TO
the ground structures covering some three
acres of LAND are impressed with any sense
of the indignities they are heaping upon
the associations of two score years is i'm
probable; but the piles of debris which
these men build up and then cart away
mean to them their daily bread, and they
are excused from all censure for not ex-
periencing the qualms of the onlooker VIII
couples sentiment even with sand houses
provided the latter can establish their
origin back through several decades and
surround their existence with a certain
halo OF mechanical traditions.
The date 1864 alone does not carry with
1t the ring of remoteness. True, 1t is only
thirty-eight years since, but at that time
Omaha was but a frontier outpost, and
only $500 souls fiourished on this now
cosmopolitan spot. But even then, despite
that no railroad from the east ran nearer
than Des Moines, and that all interstate
connection was by water or wagon trail,
there were pioneers who had every faith in
the promise which Omaha's location held
out, and at that early date the Gateway Of
the West" was a title commonly applied to
the town, as now.
Earliest Ambition of City.
1t was under such conditions, when the
leading citizens of Omaha were waiting
earnestly for the time when the Northwest
ern road would build in from Boonsboro,
Ia, then its terminus, that the Union Pa
cifc shops were begun. So these structures
represent the earliest ambition and the
earliest progress of the city.
So while every local nerve was straining
for the future of the town, this project Of
building the railroad shops was launched.
1t was a tremendous undertaking, and the
atmosphere was charged with the glory of
1t. One of the minor difficulties was the
hauling OF the seventy horsepower engine
which was to run the plant from Des
Moines by wagon, 1873 miles.
In the fast flying stages the time required
for this trip was only thirty-six hours that
winter, even in the deep snow, and in the
summer time this schedule was cut to TWEEN
ty-four hours. But no such time was made
with the many parts of the monster engine,
and a week wac consumed in bearing II
safely to its destination. Ali the other ma
chinery and much Of the building material
came by the same route. Not so the bricks,
however, for these were baked In the new
kiln on the Missouri river levee near the
site Of the shops. It kept six steamboats,
