EARLY DAYS IN HENNESSEY
An Interesting Recital of Happenings
oi the Yester Years by S. R. Over
ton, Our First Station Agent
W. I. Allen was nil excellent man
and a good, efficient officer and
general manager of the Hock Island,
worked for the best interests of the
toinptuiy and the good and ailvatK
mi nt of its employees, and tliey were
with liiin and ready to carry out his
wise ideas and plans with a]I the pat
rons of tin- Rock Island railway. Thi
farmers in the early days of Oklahoma
needed assistance, i'liey came here a>
lioniesti'ailei's, and Mr. Allen realizei,
that I y helping them They would event
uully be a great asset to the railway
company. The farmers appreciated thi
help given them by the Rock Island
and showed their npjireciation by tin
l's they raised and marketed at
Hennessey, which were shipped ovel
the Rock Island at that time mostly
Kansas City and Chicago.
'I lie farmer is the greatest asset of a
railroad company- and a community.*
1 here would lie no local merchants
it not for the farmer. The rail
road company traverses and the farm-
er develops the country. Mr. Allen re-
alized this and that Oklahoma hnii
been sett}ed by the poor homestead
farmer, and decided in 1S90 to furn
ish seed wheat fur I lie farmers in the
vicinity of Hennessey at cost nt sill)
ping jHiiut. It was sold to the farmers
ItiUpli tot III Ml fun) til u short 1111. e w«
Imd only twelve buyers. Mr. Donahoe
went back to Mulhall to see his wife
and forgot to return.
Hennessey -was some lively city iu
those days, where it took a farmer
two or three days to linn! a load of
wheat to market and stay a day or
two to rest up. All kinds of business
flourished. Everybody was busv and
happy 1 competition caused a great
influx of grain to market, which was
handled on a smitll margin by our en-
terprising buyers. Our farmers then
Stopped on the street and the highest
bidder got the load. Now vou go to
Ole Olson, John Johnson or the m'lls
or the farmers elevator and they all
pay the same price.
Territory is limited bv no competi-
tion, our trade going to other towns;
our merchants standing around on one
leg or looki„g 1> the street; hoping
for a customer. Competition, the lit',
of trade is forgotten, not only by
grain buyer, but merchant and even
the railroad. When 1 began railroad-
ing in I*78, railroads had competitive
rates on prain and livestock and ng
ents were required to get. out and
hustle for the trade. If, througl i a ny
libitory methods you should lose a
shipment ot stock or grain, your sue
",'sor would appear, if it was that
way now the farmer would be a mon
ontented individual and the further
problem would be nearer solution
1II |sil- the Hennessey Roller Mil!
was built and operated by M. Talt
This was the first mill built in Hen
nessey. Mr. Tait was a practical millet
and this mill was n great advantage
to Hennessey, giving the farmer an
opportunity to get flour through a
wheat exchange. The merchants put
ro|)i/.ed this mill instead of shipping
in flour. Mr. Tait was very popular,
and -was a large shipper of wheat and
flour and did the largest grain busi
"ess of any firm in Hennessey nt that
time.
In nil '90 the farmers had ex
bausted the money they brought to
Oklahoma and the government was
appealed to and flour was furnished
tree. Also the Rock Island railroad
bought cord wood of them. I handled
several thousand cords for the railroad
■omjiany, paying tin* farmers cadi
month for the wood. The right of way
and adjoining lots west of the rail
load track being covered with cord
wood. During 1HII0 and '91 the seed
wheat furnished and the cord wood
bought by the railroad company kept
the homesteader at home improving
us farm. Otherwise he would have
compelled to go elsewhere to make
a living and the country would not
have developed as rapidly a.s it did.

were exceptionally good years foi
wheat, and with our good wheat land
the crop was abundant, some raisin
as iniieli as -HI bushels to the acre. The
next proposition was the marketing of
thi- crop. Having bought grain iu Io-
wa, at Lorenz, while agent there for
the Chicago and Northwestern Ry
from 1x79 to lxxii, when that country
was very new, with no elevators,
arrange.I with Mr. Allen to buy till
l-' l wheat crop at Hennessey, and
olle.-t the notes. From the 12,00(1 bu
shels nf seed wheat we bought and
'hipped 12(1,099 bushels of wheat
the fill] „f |X91 and collected evciy
note due the company except three.
Mr. Allen was so well pleased with (lie
result that the railroad company did
not even try to collect of the delin
"icnts, who were uoi Intereste I in

Mr. \\. I. Ajlen, then general man-
lger ot the Itoek Island railwav, gave

nessey as long as he wns general niuii-
(er. Mr. Allen resigned In 19(11. I

ing that interval and nearly an many

nineties, there were a* many as thir-
teen buyers here, moat of tiiein shov
elijig wheat into the ears. At the same
time we njways had plenty of curs for
everybody.
We bought wheat on a two cent mar-
gin, paving nur expenses and making
I title muncy. Wheat was worth 49 to
' ''Iits in Kansas City and Chicago,
where most of the wheat was shipped
in those days. The year of our first
crop ^1X91), Hennessey shipped 120,000
Ijitsliels; in 1S92, I"i9,(1(1(1 bushels; 1*9.1

opened. The Cheyenne "auntry opened

of wheat. In the year |S9f>, our wheat
