A HOT PLACE.

Yesterday evening r. E Yonge,
the plumber, persuaded us to as
cend with him to the roof of the
new armory, which he was en-
gagged in covering with tin.
The view Of the city and sur
roundings from this high point is
magnificent.
It made us quite dizzy to look
down, and we were very much
afraid OF losing our footing.
Mr.. Yonge and his men would
walk about, as sure of foot as a
goat, and the height did not seem
to affect them at all.
Mr.. Yonge enticed us out on the
bright tin on the west side of the
roof, that caught the slanting ray S
of the sun.
The heat on this tin, to one not
used to it. was simply unbearable.
Mr.. Yonge said the thermometer,
laid on this tin, would register at
least I3o degrees.
1t is a good place for a lazy man,
as he cannot enjoy sitting Gown.
This armory is one of the
strongest constructed buildings of
it's size that we ever saw. and
when completed will be credit to
the county.

The rule of the road in the United
States is turn to the right" in Eng
land it is the reverse The rule holds
in this country in the case where two
vehicles going in opposite directions
meet When one vehicle overtakes an
other the foremost gives way to the left
and the other passes by on the on side;
and when a vehicle is crossing the di-
rection OF another it keeps to the left
and crosses in its rear. These two
rules are the same in this country and
in England. and why the rule concern
ing meeting vehicles should have been
changed it is impossible to say. We
find this point OF difference noted by
all authorities, but no reason for 1t is
ever suggested. Probably. as it is easier
to turn TO the right than TO the left, It
was adopted as the more preferable
custom in some OF the early colonies.
and in due time became embodied in
local law, and thus was handed down
to later times.

FIRST OVERLAND EXPRESS.
The Manager of the Original Tells How
the Venture Wa. brought About

the Venture Wa. Brought Aboat
THE first express ever run across
the plains was started by man named
Butterfeld in 1885" said Alexander
Benham. OF Montana, the manager of
the first overland express. 1T started
at Little Rock. Ark. and followed
southern route through Kansas, New
Mexico. Arizona. and then to Los An
geles, Cal. About two years later, IN
1860. our company was formed for the
purpose OF carrying the mails to the
Pacific coast. 1t was known as the
Central Overland. California and Pixies
Peak Express company. William II.
Russell. Alexander Majors. and a man
named Wadell formed the company.
and the contracts with the government
for carrying mails were made out In
their names. | was chosen manager.
and had my office in Denver The
southern route run by Butterheld did
not have as much prominence as ours.
which for years was known as the
pony express route 1t was started
in at St Joseph. Mo. running through
Nebraska to Fort Kearney. TO Fort
Laramie. Wyo., thence to Denver, TO
SAT- l@1ht lily 70 inter NAAhE- aNfNrH
and to Sacramento. Cal The whole
trip. extending half across the conti-
nent, was made in seventeen days,
when no accident befeil. and accidents
were not so numerous as some people
have imagined. From 81. Joseph 10
Denver the trip took seven days. and
from Denver to Sacramento was a
journey OF ten days That was, Of
course, by the regular stage route. and
little time was lost in making IT, To
accommodate our business we had
about $50 coaches. most Of which were
kept running all the time. To haul them
we had 1.5O0 horses scattered along
the route from St Joseph to Sacramen-
TO. In addition we had 5000 or 1000
head OF cattle. which were used in
hauling heavy freight and transport
ing feed for the horses and feed for our
men. You can see that the business
was not by any means a small one, and
it continued to grow as long as there
was any use for such means Of trans
portation. This was until the compile
ton OF the Union Pacific railway to
California in 1870. Then overland traf-
ic and mail service could be managed
TO better service by the railroad. and
our pony express went out OF existence
But up to that time. from the day When
the route was first opened in 1860. its
business had steadily increased. Even
the building Of the railroad assisted us,
for our line was the best adapted for
carrying to western stations employees
and provisions"

into a chair and poudered upon what

was. whether or not he had fulfilled
his threat OF departing by rail because
OF my refusal to return his Affection

corner of the hotel. He Was suffering
from a mild form OF mania-a-potu, and
somebody was hired TO take care OF him.
But the keeper went TO lunch and forgot
