generally expected that still another

GEN. DODGE AND
 THE UNION PACIFIC
By HOLLAND

New York, January 16.-(SpeciaL) The late Gen. Grenvilie Mellen Dodge,
 who played a leading part in the sur yey and construction of the Union Pa cific railroad, and was. when he died,
 the surviving major general In the
 Union army, was accusomed to speak
 in the latter years of his life when he visited New York of an experience of
 his own while constructing the Union
 Pacific railroad after peace came in
 1865. General Dodge retired in 1861
 from active service as surveyor ana
 constructing engineer on the Union
 Pacific ih order that he Iff Sht enter
 the army When the war ended he returned to the railroad service, hay
 ing had in mind during all of his cam
 paigns the renewal of work upon the
 Union Pacific. He it was who inter-
 ested Abraham Lincoln in 1859 in the
 proposed Pacific railroad,
 Lincoln visited Council Bluffs, which
 was General Dodge's home, prefession-
 ally, having been retained in an iia- portant law case involving certain questions which arose in the vicinity of Council Bluffs
 So General Dodge while the war was in progress often consulted President Lincoln respecting the Unlon Pacllc railroad project for he knew how in tensely interested the President was in this plan, It was due to Gene, al Dodge that Lincoln recommended to Congress that it legislate so as to per init the first mortgage bonds which the government then held to become second mortgage bonds, for in that way sufficient capital could be secure.l to complete the road Congress actei favorably upon this suggestion. It was at the time when Congress was considering this proposition that Pres- | ident Lincoln said to General Dodge i that after the war was ended many /, soldiers would be found seeking em- ployment and the Union Pacific could furnish a great deal of employme ent 1 for these veterans.
 That prediction of the President was, according Nto General Dodge. after l wards abundantly fulfilled. Many sol i diers who had served through the WET l found instant impioyment in the con- l struction of the road. But the feature which was associated with this em-

 = have made in England is well H. lustrated by the numerous invitations which come into the headquarters of the army, navy and Red Cross, asking that men be assigned to take part in various purely English social and sporting events of various kinds.
 Tie early winter is a great sporting season in England, particularly with the gun, and many owners of the great Eng fish game preserves have invited Ameri- can officers to participate in the win te-'s sport on these preserves. The Red Cross was asked whether it could nomi- nate a number of convalescent officers to take part in such events, and in most cases it was possible to make suitable arrangements.
 Che of the finest pheasant preserves in southern England is located on the estate of Sir Jeremiah Coleman, and Q number of officers participated few days ago on a days shooting there. Capt. Frank s. Peer of Ithaca, on his return from this outing. wrote very enthusiastic letter to the Red Cross, describing the days events. The follow ing is taken from his letter:
 ''The estate IS very beautiful and typi- cally English, comprising hill and valley, forest and lake and stream. with great stretches of velvety turf in the park land. The name of the estate is "Gatton Park" and it is one of the oldest and finest in England It is an ideal game preserve. Before the war thousands ot hand-reared pheasants were turned out here for the autumn shooting, but the birds are now of natures rearing and so wild that no large bag can be ex- pected, though the sport is more ex- citing and calls for greater skill
 There were five crack shots in the party, including two very skillful Eng fish noblemen. Their shooting alone was worth going miles to see, and at first I was so delighted by my companions workmanlike skill in accounting for the birds that l watched them instead Of shooting. shot like. this in which big Ficketting birds are driven towards the guns over the high treetops at rate of 50 miles an hour is an collaborating ex- perience and the shooting requires not only unerring aim and judgment of dis ance, but also popular mental alertnesS, for there can be no deliberate aim.
