Old timers in Salt Lake who thought
the days Of the Pony Express had van
ished forever, aud new timers who had
no idea that they would ever have
chance to behold their return, will be
equally surprised when they learn that
the ponies and their riders are back
with us once more. though, Of course,
they occupy a field much less ambi-
tlous than in the old days when they
served as the means OF mail commune
cation between Salt Lake and the
states" both east and west.
Necessity has brought about the re-
vlval Of the old institution by the
Deseret News, and the route covered

things than this in the mysterious
thing known as railroad schedules, For
years the time tables Of both roads be-
