unnecessary weight to be carried that
distance on the backs of swift ponies
in from eight to ten days. The route
chosen is now traversed by the Union
Pacific railroad, in those days an al
most trackless wilderness, swarming
with Indians and highwaymen.
On the Sd of April. 1859, two riders
started, n from st. Joe, Mo-, and n
from Sacramento, Cal. At the start
the dispatch bags would be thrown
wei a pony's saddle. The rider would
mount and ride at top speed to the
first relay station. There a fresh pony
would be waiting, on whose back the
dispatch bags would be hastily thrown.

i.ef' rider would snatch the bags and
dash off with them for the next lap of
the long race. The relays averaged
fifteen miles apart. Forty-fve to 105
miles semiweekly each way at full
speed over rough country was a riders
daily stunt. Riders started at forty

The reader can imagine that 1t was
lonely. 1t demanded endurance above
the ordinary to defy the summers
heat and winters snowstorms and
billiards., skill in crossing temporary
bridges and dangerous streams with
shifting fords and t~reacherous quick
sands, which had to be often got over
at night, sometimes swollen torrents.
and horses and riders had to swim,
momentarily liable to ambush by the
ever alert savages, then the monarchs
of the prairies. The reader will under
stand that the Indian was master of
all the country outside the rifle range
of a station or fort. This gave to the
very atmosphere a sense of continual
peril, making possible a death so hor-
rible that It's possibility was as trying
to the Imagination as capture made its
decree a certainty, with all the horrors
of torture.
That many riders met this fateful
end is history, while other escapes
were simply miraculous. Those who
came out alive on the arrival at a sta
tion often found that one of the riders
had fallen a victim to the savage foe
and had to take up his burden, and in
such cases be had to pound the saddle
over the stiff country for another hun
bred miles. The fact that the dead
body was often somewhere along the
trail, of course, did not add pleasant
thoughts to the journey. Nothing but a

twice through my saddle, and on n
occasion my sturdy mount received a
bad flesh wound. On two occasions
my good craftsmanship saved me at
the expense of the roster of the Sioux
braves by sending two at different
times to their happy hunting grounds
On several occasions | had to resume
the route of slaughtered couriers, nota-
bly, on occasion which stands as
possibly a record in the story of this
dangerous duty.
While riding between the Red
Buttes of the Platte and the Three
Crossings of the Sweetwater l had
what was considered a most difficult
and lonely route. On reaching Three
Crossings l found the rider of the
next division had been killed the night
before, which necessitated my cover
ing his route, and on arrival there the
rider who should have been on hand
had not turned up having been killed,
as was afterward ascertained, so l
was compelled to ride the two routes
without stop, except for meals and
change of horses, successfully making
the journey Tor round trip without
sleep, only stopping to Aiange horses
and snatch Il hasty meal. This ride
created a sensation, so l will quote
from an authority best able to place
it on record as a historical ~fact-name-
ly. Alexander Majors himself in his
book of Seventy Years on the From
tier"
among the most noted and daring
riders of the pony express was Hon.
William T. Cody, better known as
Buffalo Bill whose reputation is now
established the world over. While en-
gagged In the express service his route
lay between Red Buttes and Three
Crossings. 1t was a most dangerous,
long and lonely trail, including peril
Gus crossings of swollen and turbulent
streams. An average of fifteen miles
an hour had to be made, including
change of horses, detours for safety
and time for meals. Once upon reach
ing Three Crossings he found that the
rider on the next division had been
killed during the night before, and he
was called on to make the extra trip
until another rider could be procured.
This was a request the compliance
with which would involve the most
taxing labors and an endurance few
persons are capable of. Nevertheless
young Cody was promptly on hand for
the additional journey and reached
Rocky Ridge, the limit of the second
route, ON time. This round trip of
321 miles was made without a stop,
except for meals and to change horses,
and every station on the route was
entered on time. This is one of the
longest and best ridden pony express
journeys ever made. the entire dis
lance, 321 miles, being covered in 81

pony express rider. l had one
or two adventures In that pur-
suit which may prove interesting
to read. They were certainly inter-
esting enough to me at the time. The
job was worth $125 a month and
meant ceaseless danger.
The Importance of the pony express
has to a certain extent been lost sight
of, but 1t might be well to impress on
the reader the fact of its value at that
time In connection wi.l the great trou-
BILE occurring shortly after It's incep-
ton between the sections of u coun-
try-the civil war of 1861. The diff
culties of communicating with the
newly acquired empire on the Pacific
through the route via Panama or the
passage around Cape Horn would
have left effective information stale,
fiat and improbable on account of the
time, and the fact that the southwest
section was not open for communica-
ton to the Union authorities at Wash
ington emphasized its necessity.
The pony express, by giving the gov
eminent facilities for quick communi-
cation-Quick for those days-was en-
abled to keep in touch with every
movement and counteracted In an eff
fective manner what might have re-
suited in a separation from us of u
grand Pacific possessions.
It's service had been repeatedly sug-
gested to congress-, but after several
years of agitation 1t failed of govern
ment assistance through the then dis
united aims of many congressional
leaders, and eventually 1t was under
taken by Messrs. Russell, Majors, Wad-
dell & Co. at their own risk and re-
sponsibility, a public spirited. patri-
otto action for which they never re-
ceived proper financial recognition.
This was the great government
freighting firm under whom l had
served as courier between its over
land wagon trains. It's object was to
cover the vast %telegraphic gap be-
tween New York and San Francisco,
which began at st. Joe. Mo-, and ended
at Sacramento, Cal, with greater
speed, a distance of more than 1000
miles through a country totally unin-
habited, bar savage Indians. At that
time 1t took months for congressman
and government officials to reach the
Golden Gate or to arrive at Washing
Ton, and 1t took frQmtwenty=tWo to
twenty-five days to send a message
from New York to San Francisco
across the continent. 1t had taken

 The duty of .retrenchment was never more urgent than now. The people have borne the burdens of taxation for the last fifteen years with heroic pa tience. They are now suffering, as never before, from, depreciated values and general Stagnation of business, and not a few are distressed with want. They demand everywhere a rigid economy in public expenditures. This demand is urgent and any party which fails to heed it will perish
 The General Assembly responded with cut of 10 per cent. in all sal- aries, whether annual or per diem or by fees. With financial condition worse than that of 1877, the present General Assembly did not cut salaries, nor reduce expenditures, but instead strengthened the poll and military taxes and levied a new burden, State tax. The contrast is as great as it is significant.

SANTE FEE PLACES HEAVY CAR ORDER Service Over New BeIen Cutoff to be
 Greatly Improved.

To provide adequate train service over the new Belen cut-off, and other recently constructed lines and to fill out it's equipment to provide for all emergencies. The ,Atchinson, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway has placed with the Pullman Car Company a heavy order for passenger cars
 In speaking of the purchase, MT. w. J. Black, Passenger Trafnc Manager Of the Santa Fe, said ssYes we are preparing to handle the heaviest bus mess in the history of the Company. Every condition points to an unpre- cedented movement to California and the Southwest, during the next twelve months. Business is steadily improv- ing in all parts of the country and when business generally is good, Cal an ever increasing percentage of the travel-loving public.''
 snThe passenger car order that has just been placed provides one hundred and thirty cars of all classes and will round out our equipment most sat isfactorily. The new cars are to be used in filling out gaps and replacing old cars; in making more uniform our California Limited trains and in pro- .viding adequate service for the Belen cut-off and other lately opened lines and branches. s1fs4 4H
 This is the first considerable order for passenger equipment that the San ta Fe has placed since 1906 The panic of 1907 caused a suspension of orders at that time and business last year did not seem to justify additional penditures- Now however, the Sant a Fe Southwest is prosperous and the people of the East are being attracted in that direction in such numbers that the ordering of new cars has be- come a necessity. The new equipment will be built by the Pullman Car Com pany. The specifications call for cars provided with chilled steel under frames ana reinforced platforms and vestibules. They are to be finished throughout in hardwood, 1ow-toned in color to harmonize with the uphols- tering. The dining cars are finished in Vermillion mahogany. the wood be- ing especially selected to insure uni- formity of grain-

 A demonstration of the efficacy and entire harmlessness of poslam, the new skin discovery, is afforded when it is applied to the tender skin of infants who are tortured with rashes, ,chafings, scaly and trusted humors and other skin aggravations. Its effect is sooth- ing, the itching stops at once, the skin heals and is quickly restored to nor nal condition.
 In the various forms of skin trou- bles in both infants and adults, pos lam produces beneficial results from the first application. Eczema, acne, herpes, rash, letter, etc, yield readily to its remarkable curative properties. Occasional applications win quickly banish, pimples, blotches and com plexton b1emishes and will relieve and cure itching feet. scaly scalp, humors, etc.
