187158202Kalama W.T.: William Walker March 12 1871. 4to. 7.5 x 9.75 in. 2 pp. on ruled paper approx. 180 words in clear crisp cursive retaining original mailing folds slight toning very slight dustsoiling NF. This letter reveals the setbacks engendered by poor construction materials in the Washington Territory as the Northern Pacific raced to extend its rail lines across the country hoping to become the second Transcontinental railroad after the Union Pacific. The letter from Walker to Sprague opens with “I herewith inclose sic a statement of the walking Boss in relation to the Powder which has been furnished thus far on the work & from personal inspection of several samples I think his estimate low. In all my former experience in public works I have never seen as bad powder attempted to be used. One keg examined seemed to be nothing but charcoal. It seems to have been damaged by dampness as nearly all is more or less caked solid.†He goes on to explain that he feels that the contract should be suspended with the powder company and if they have any complaints they can could come down and “inspect what is on hand. That which has been opened thus far has either been used or destroyed. . . .†Despite the setbacks Walker’s team managed to begin laying track on March 19 1871 a week later and by September the first 25 miles was completed and by the end of the year the Northern Pacific line extended to Tenino. Eventually after the Panic of 1873 bankruptcy in 1875 and other setbacks as well as purchasing majority interest in the Oregon Steam Navigation Company the Northern Pacific was able to complete the line from Kalama to Tacoma with connecting ferry the “Tacoma†which transported passenger cars across the Columbia River from Kalama W.T. to Goble Oregon up until 1909.
