A Tale Told of the First Carload of Lum
Der that Reached Elko in 1868; A
Lively Tug-of-War; 400 Spec
tators Watch it; First Lumber
yard and it's History.
Organization of the "Elko Lumber Co.
and it's Success Due to Manager
j. A. McBride---Man of Brain,
Backbone and Integrity.

The first carload of lumber en-
tered Elko, over the Central Paci
fic during the spring of 1868. L
was consigned to W. j Erton anc
was brought in on a fiat car. The
boards were 20 feet in length anc
green. The shipment came from
Truckee and the lumber was usec
for tables, cots, and ben ches. Al
that time Elko boasted Of a popu
lation of 400 people, living like the
lsraelites-in tents, but even ther
Elko was the shipping point fol-
Hamilton, and White Pine Co.
Talk of Caesar, negotiating at g
distance with ancient Gaul, was
nothing compared TO W. j Erton's
negotiations with the old Central
Pacific back in 1868. Finally he
induced the Company to ship in
one cur of lumber Then upon ar.
rival, as Milton said was "confus-
Ion worse confounded."
d. Where the Pioneer BuIldinp''
now stands there stood a saloon
conducted in a tent. A crowd of
noisy Germans were practicine
at the bar and singing songs of the
Faderland. when suddenly a stem
torian voice sounded "The lum-
ber is here" Can you picture a
lumber panic: Then fancy you
see tug of war with 20 men pull
ing and tugging at the green
boards and the distracted w J
Erton calling out Help yourselves"
while "the 400" yelled and clapped
their hands. Of course Germany
secured most Of the lumber so the
annals of history say. No more
precious lumber arrived in Elko
till the latter part of 1868. Then
j. D. Treat built the old Depot
Hotel, and brought in lumber by
express paying about 500 per
thousand. N. B.-rhis was before
the Parcel Post was inaugurated.
W. j. Erton started the first
lumber yard in 1868 and conduct
ed it till 1874. Frank Smith had
charge of it till 1882 Next Payne
and Fernald ran it till 1885, when

to make up for the loss of this re.
