- Thanks, Tex.
- Congratulations.
:09:15
Thanks. You've been a great help
in building this railroad.
:09:18
The real work begins.
We've got to make it pay.
:09:21
- That's up to you.
- No.
:09:22
I've got other work to do.
We're looking further west.
:09:25
I want you to take charge here,
help build up this town.
:09:29
No, thanks. We're on our way back to
Texas, drive cattle to meet your railroad.
:09:34
Besides, if we keep hanging around here,
these two will get civilized.
:09:38
We'd better get out before he starts
eating with a knife and fork.
:09:41
A knife anyway.
:09:43
You couldn't keep Wade here. He's the
most moving-on man you ever saw.
:09:47
He was in the English army in India, then
got mixed up in some revolution in Cuba.
:09:52
Then he started punching cattle
in Texas, before he enlisted in the war.
:09:57
So he's either the greatest traveler who
ever lived, or else he is the biggest liar.
:10:04
It gives me great pleasure
to introduce to you...
:10:06
...the man who made
this progress possible:
:10:09
Colonel Dodge.
:10:15
Ladies and gentlemen...
:10:17
...today a great chapter of history
has been written...
:10:20
...and we take justifiable pride...
:10:23
...in bringing this railroad to the terminal
furthest west in this country.
:10:28
Someday, and I believe it will be
in the near future...
:10:32
...a great city will spring from this
very spot upon which we now stand.
:10:37
A city which will represent
all that the West stands for:
:10:41
Honesty, courage, morality
and culture.
:10:45
For all the noble virtues of civilization...
:10:48
...I can see a great metropolis of homes,
churches, schools.
:10:53
A fine, decent city, which will become
the flower of the prairie.
