"REMINISCENCES OF CHICAGO's EAR
LIZ DAYS.


How the First Freight Was Shipped
10 the City by Rail.
AS live stock market, Chicago stands
second to none," sad well-known dealer.
'The figures for 1901 show that almost
eight million head of sheep, over four mil
lion hogs, hundred thousand horses, q
quarter million calves and three million
cattle were brought to the Chicago market
last year by the big railroads that reach
out, like The Chicago 4 Northwestern,
into the cattle ranges and feeding grounds
all over the west. The reports show 49,
100 carloads of live stock received here in
1902 -quite a growth for the IS years since
the first shipment"
The stockman ruminated a moment.
That first shipment was queer, now,
wasn't it?" he continued. did you see
that little account of it in the papers the
other day? Young Millican Hunt, now
over 50 years old, had started across the
prairies to market with sled load of
hogs and when he got across the Des
PLANES River he found there was no snow
on which to draw his pigs the rest OF the
journey.
THAT was in '4s, the year the Galena
road, now The Chicago 4 Northwestern,
built its first ten miles; and young Hunt
made a dicker with the crew of a con-
struction train, loaded his porkers on the
train, and rode into Chicago triumphant,
behind the little old Pioneer.
WAS you ever out to the Field Colum-
bian Museum" he continued. We'll, you
should go out there some day and see that
old locomotive. She stands for a good
deal from Chicago's point of view.
Brought in the first load Of live stock, and
the day the road was opened and the
Mayor and the big men of the town were
trying the novelty of a ride on the first
regular train, she pulled the first rail
shipment of grain into town.
''They tell me, now" he went on, that
last year that load of hogs had grown to
over IS 900 carloads of live stock brought
into Chicago over The Northwestern Line
alone, and instead of one wagon load OF
wheat The Northwestern brought over 3d.
OOO. 600 bushels of grain to the city"
