for transporting the mails Oh the Lincoln
and Portland route up to June 30, 1866, at
the rate of 1925, 900 per annum, which Mr..
Dennison regards as exoIbitant, but the
California stage company refused to do the
work for less than 100000 -s4
The overland service between the Mis-
souri, river and California is performed un-
der two contracts one from Atchison to
Salt Lake, the other from Salt Lake to Fol-
som City. The service has been performed
with more regularity on the western than
Oh the eastern portion of the route, owing
to high water and Indian hostilities.
