"A fine morning" said Leavitt.

going to rain before long"
There was no hint Of rain in the
summer sky: but before Leavitt had
got through Northwood Narrows a
heavy shower came down upon him
Wishing to fin dout how the farmer
could predict SO exactly. he turned
back. and found him out in the field
again, after the rain.

EARLY EXPRESS SERVICE.
Wells Fargo Company and the Develop

Wells Fargo Company and the Develop

Thomas Sherman says that IN eighty
years California went through the
same progressive changes that in Eng
land required 1000 years to accomplish,
says London Success The history of
the last half of these eventful years of
the Pacific coast would In no small
part be the history of the great Wells
Fargo Express Company. After its es~
tablishment in 1852 the company rap
idly absorbed all other lines of the
State, and was the banker mail car
rier and errand runner for every city,
camp or cabin in California.
Henry Wells and William G. Fargo
were veterans of the express service
before we find their names coupled in
that union as closely identified with the
West as are the quartz and granite of
her hills. Wells was Harnden's agent
in Albany in the first branch establish
ment there and in 1884 he, with 9TH

the West" This was at BuffalO-an
outpost then four days and three
nights from New York, almost as far
as California is to-day. Fargo was ex-

wary officer but his protest against

the nation, and the next Congress, by
the leverage Of public opinion, was
forced to divide the Government rate
by four. So to Henry Wells, leading
the host of reform, we owe one Of the
great forward steps in our civilization.
