Fnr-Renching Achievement.

And with that simple ceremony
was completed the great achievement
of which Sidney Dillon, president of
the Credit Mobilier, the company
which constructed the Union Pacific,
said many years afterward:
1T is not too much to say that the
opening of the Pacific road, viewed
simply in its relation to the spread of
population. development of resources,
and actual advance of civilization,
was an event to be ranked in far
reaching results with the landing of
the Pilgrims. or perhaps the voyage
of Columbus" In view of this opin-
ion, one is left to wonder as to what
would have been the result of the
Louisiana Purchase. for instance.

RAILROAD ANNIVERSARY.

coast with the rest of the United

seemed TO awaken and realize the
meaning of the ceremony which was
being performed at the little town of
Promontcry. in Utah, six hundred
and thirty-eight miles east of Sacra-
mento.
Few persons gathered to witness
the event as compared to the number
that had attended the far more i'm
posing ceremony when ground was
broken in Omaha in 1864. And yet
the whole country gave ear, as it
were. to the sound of the hammer
strokes which drove home the last
spike and linked together in a com
mercial sense the great producing
region of the West and the consum-
ing centres of the East. All the prin-
cipal offices of the country were con-
nected by telegraph with the now for
cotton town of Promontory, and the
click of the instrument communicated
the news to waiting thousands.
The governor of California had
come from the coast to attend the
ceremonies, but from the East there
was the scantiest representation. The
last tie was made of highly polished
California laurel. On this tie was
