Original Spike
Loaned to Film
U. P. Ceremony
California’s most treasured relic,
the gold spike of the “Union Paci-
fic” railroad, was called out of its
seventy-year retirement by Cecil
B. De Mille to take its rightful
place in his new epic of America’s
first transcontinental railway,
“Union Pacific,” which shows Sat-
urday Midnite and Sunday and
Monday at the Rialto Theatre.
The gold spike first became an
object of national importance when,
on May 10, 1869, Governor Leland
Stanford, Collis P. Huntington,
Mark Hopkins and many another
dignitary tapped it with a silver
maul and drove it into a tie at
Promontory Point, Utah. This act
signified the completion of the rail-
road, after seven years of titanic
effort, and the union of the Amer-
ican continent.
The spike, which has been repos-
ing all these years in the vaults of
the Wells Fargo Bank and Union
Trust Company, was originally the
gift of David Hewes, a Massachu-
setts boy who went west to make
his fortune and became one of San
Francisco’s wealthiest merchant
princes, financiers and real estate
operators.
“The completion of the overland
railway,” Hewes wrote to Governor
Stanford, “is the greatest event in
the history of California since the
discovery^ of gold. It cancels our
remoteness and changes San Fran-

Hi
^Make Every Hen
Pay a Profit
Experiments prove that it requires 100 eggs, pro-
duced during the course of a year, to pay for the
feeding and care of a laying hen. It’s reasonable
to expect then, that a hen laying 200 eggs per
year pays DOUBLE the Frofit of a bird averaging
only 150 eggs per year. For this reason
we urge you to cull the "non-producers" and
feed your flock on RED CHAIN EGG NUG-
GETS . . . the feed that contains all the
essential egg-making materia! for consistent
. . . profitable . . . egg production.

Now I want to contribute as my
token of gratitude a last tie of
California laurel, and a last spike

To film the spike in “Union

mission from the trustees of Leland
Stanford University. It was moved
from the Wells Fargo Bank to
FRIDAY, JUNE 16, 1939
Hollywood under one of the
neaviest guards seen in many a
season. For although the spike cost
David Hewes $400. its value as a
historical relic can not even be
estimated.
It was Dr. Ray Lyman Wilbur,
president of Stanford, who said to
De Mille, “Nothing must happen to
the last spike, for it is an irrepla-
cable relic, almost as important in
western progress as the Liberty
Bell is in national history.”
