Runs First Line Weat, The dreams of General Dodge, how- ever, came true and many véars sooner than he had anticipated. In 143 General Dodge found himself at Davenport, la., & point to which Engineer Dey +ad pr viously gone. Here General Dodge was siven ommission as chief engineer of the Mississippi & Missourl Ral'road vom- pany and was Instructed to run a line from the Missiesippl river to a point «n the banks of the Misrourl, and after reaching the last named place 1o make some observations west of the river. In fdue time the line to the Missourl river was run, it terminating at \Counell Blurts, Golng out frem Council Blu(fs, with his party, General Dodge crowssd the river to the site of the city of Omaha. This was in the fell of 1868 The perty came over the river in flatboats, landed where Omaha now stands u‘ul vmuod;d in & ithwesterly direction to the rfltmm striking across the sountey to near the present town of Valley. From Valley the engineers, with “ferieral Dodge at their head, followed the Platty «ut 100 or se miles and then ruturned. Goirg back to lows City, where the Mississippi Missourl 'rallroad headquarters’ bad n established, Geheral Dodwe reported ta Bngivear Dey. He informed him that e Had found a feasiblo route for a ral- west of the Mussourl river'and save him an idea of the country, Comes to C el Blufts. , The year 1864 found General Dodge lo7 cated in Council Bluffs, but ‘erngiged in the mercantile bubiness, dia a iitle bank- ing and put a train of wagons on the foad between Councll Rluffa and what s now Denver. | Tn 1886 ‘wome of the tribes of Indians In eastern ‘Nebraska and ‘western ' lowa restiess and showed 'Indiestions of going on the warpath. Instinotively of a military habit of mind, General Dodge took time by the forelock 'and organized and equipped the Council Blutts Guards, ‘be first military organi- wation: in Towa. He was elected captain of the company that subsequently be- came Company B. Fourth regiment, Towa infantry volunteers. Enilats in 1861, In 1561 when the civil war oreie out, General Dodge tendered his services the services of the military som. y of which he was ocaptsta ‘to Governor Kirkwood of lowa. The gov- ernor rejected the offer, contending that at any time the western border of the state might be maced by an uprising of the Indians &sd that it would be unwise to send ‘the militla frgm this section of the state away to the front. He later declined a proffered cuptalncy in the regular army, and still later en- tered the service as colonel of on lowan volunteer regiment. He served with dis- tinguished ability during the wa-. and rose through the severs! grades until he | became & corps commander under Sher- man, and fought in the grea: battlcs under that leader. His military coreer is & brilllant chapter of his active life. Becomes Chief Englueer, On May 1, 188, having finished this military work and retired with the rank of major general, General Dodge assumed at Omaha the duties of chief engineer for the Union o rallway. His work in behalf of that became scarcely less memorable than his battle records. and his wartime experience served ad- mirably to fit him for that gigantic task of blazing & way through the wilderness and planting the rails that were to bind in intimate relations the Americans of two seaboards while opening up a vast intermediate empire of industry.

Callers at the general's office were freo- Quent and there, he welcomed his hun- dgeds of friends with a pleasant word, a smile and & hearty bandshake.
