GENERAL eRENviLLE NJ, DODGE

davenport Democrat: One OF the
most notable of the older generation
OF toEans left US. when General Gren
vile n Dodge quit the arena of an
actiSs life In which he has been a
1Uolftsrsman- a scout, a fighter, and a
railroad builder. In all these phases
o. life he has helped pave the way 70,
TIE millions who came after him into
tie great west In the civil war he
rose from colonel t o CORPS command
er. and he was the last survivor Of the
and OF union fighters who rose 10
that high a command. He was of the
pioneer type. which is so rapidly dis.
appearing from the state. With his
departure, we well may pause a mo-
ment to consider the debt which Iowa
owes to men of his kind, who gave the
best that was in them, that we might
have the rich heritage that they left
to us.
In a constructive way. General
Dodge will be remembered chiefly as
director general of the building of the
Union Pacific railroad across the west,
He was at the head OF the forces that
pushed the ribbons Of steel out into a
country where 1t had not only many
natural obstacles to overcome, but the
meDac OF hostile Indians and the
timidity Of capital which had less Wis
lon tina had the railroad builder.
When the asst spike in the road was
driven at Promontory Point. Utah.
May s, 1868. General Dodge had proved
himself the same successful fighter in
times Of peace that he had been when
the union needed defenders.
He carved out his own career. After
a civil and military engineering course
at Norwich University. Vermont. he
came west and took an axman's place
IN an engineering party on the Illinois
Central railroad. In his autobiography
he tells OF later leaving the Illinois
Central for an axman's job on the
Rock Island under Peter A. Dey. then
division engineer with headquarters
at Tiskflya, III. His work thereafter
brought him to Davenport, the first
railroad gateway to the west, and the
point where the first railway line and
first railway bridge were thrown
a"ross the Mississippi.
I'm May. 1853" he writes. I'VE cross
ed the Mississippi river at Davenport
and surveyed the first railway line
across Iowa. The settlements in Iowa
were then confined almost entirely to
the country between Davenport and
City" At the farther end Of
this line. at Council Bluffs. General
Dodge fixed his home. He has since
been one OF the best known of the resi-
dents OF the state. his rugged constitu-
ton pro1onging his life until he stood
out as one OF the latest survivors OF
those days Of pioneer achievement In
the middle west. His compatriots
properly pay him a high tribute OF
today.

EARLY IOWA sETrLEMENT.

| The rapidity with which the early
settlements spread westward in Iowa
is illustrated by the following extract
from an article by Mr.. John E.
Briggs, published by the State His
torical Society of Iowa:
The first settlements in Iowa
clustered along the Mississippi river.
Dubuque. Davenport. Bloomington
tnow Muscatine). Burlington. and
Fort Madison sprang up from mining
camp. private land reserve. boat land
ing, trading post. or military garri-
son into hustling frontier towns. But
it was not long before the fertile prai-
RE to the west began to lure the
pioneers away from the hills along
the river in August. 1886, the popu-
lation OF the two counties in the Iowa
country was 1851. Twenty-one
months later the census showed an
Increase of one hundred and seven
ten per cent. OF the 22,S5s persons
then in Iowa, 1856, or over s3.9 per
cent, were living in counties not wash
ed by the Mississippi: and after two
more years, out Of a total population
of 43,112 owe AL per cent. or 1904
people. were Inhabitants of inland
counties"

Nauvoo's Lutheran congregation
held their annual business meeting
last Saturday. the first day of the
new year. and the members presented
their popular young pastor with a
very acceptable New Years gift by
increasing his yearly salary 500. He
Is worth ten times the amount he is
receiving. and his congregation know
1t. The selection of officers took
place and all OF the old officers were
retained. The congregation Of this
church is growing and is in a more
prosperous condition than was ever
known before, due to the fact that the
minister %enthuses church life and en-.
ergy into the minds and souls of the
members which make things harmoni-
GUS and begets prosperity.
An experiment at an evening party
in Keokuk and For Madison will soon
be made which will show that green
ink is not an acceptable substitute for
creme de menthe, even IL It does taste

have to bow to the prohib law will
tackle anything for a substitute.

WHAT is HOME?
Homes not made of palace walls,
Though with pictures hung and
gilded;
Home is where affection calls
Filled with shrines the heart hath
bufIded;
Home to which the faithful dove
Sails beneath the heaven above us.
Home is where there's one to love
Home is where there's one to low us.
Homes not merely roof and ROOM;
Home needs something to endear it,
Home is where the heart can bloom,
Where there's some kind lip to

What is home with none to meet,
None to welcome, none to greet Us ?
Home is sweet!-and only sweet
Where there's one we love to meet
