not established until six years later.
Some idea of the slowness OF mails
in those days may be had when 1t
lis considered that the eastern mails
leaving New York in November would
reach California in the March follow
ing, thus when Utah was createl a
territory by Congress in September,
1890, the news of the event did not
reach Salt Lake City until the fol-
lowing January, having gone via Pan
anna by steamer to San Fracnisco and
thence east by private messenger.
During the winter of 1859 and
1850 Senator Gwin and Mr.. Russell,
of the overland transportation firm
met with a company of New YORK
capitalists in Washington and from
this meeting sprang the reality of the
pony express. At the time the fast
est possible method of getting news
acorss the continent was 81 days; the
pony express reduced that to 10 days.
Col. Majors of the same firm as Mr..
Russell, was active in starting the
service, and in less than two months
after the matter had been taken up,
stations for housing the horses of
the line had been established between
St. Joseph on the east and Salt Lake
City thence to Sacramento.
The first courier of the pony ex-
press left St. Joseph, Mo-, April 3,
at 5 o'clock p. m, while at the other
end, the pony rider left Sacramento
at II p. m. on the same night for the
east. The east bound rider reached
Salt Lake at 1:45 p. m. on the night
of the 9TH of April, while the west
bound rider reached that city at 6:25
on the evening of April g. The first
trip from St. Joseph to San Fran
cisco, 1896 miles, was made in 10
days, while many succeeding trips
the same distance was covered IN
8 days. The. riders had divisions
ranging in distance from 100 to 14O
miles, with relays of horses fror 20
to rs miles at the beginning. After
ward, however, these stations were
placed closer together and the dis
tance for one horse to cover was re-
duced where possible, to 10 or IL
miles. The rider covering about

The equipment of the pony express
rider was exceedingly meager. With
as little clothing as he could get along
with, the rider was allowed to carry

that, the, load carried by the pony

and hung over the horn of the sad

RODE THE PONY EXPRESS

Among the few survivors of the
men who rode the pony express, in
the days of long ago, when railroads
were none here in the west, Indians
were plentiful and settlers few, is
VIM. M. Ball of Rigby
To the present generation, halo
of romance surrounds the days of the
Pony Express, when the only means
of conveying mail across the CONT
nent was by the daring riders of the
hardy ponies from which the service
took its name.
But to those who took part in this
most unique of methods for carrying
mail, the pony express is vivid real
ity, an experience, indeed, never to
be forgotten while life shall last and
memory endure.
Salt Lake City was in the very
heart of the region through which
the pony express passed. That city
was one of the stations to which the
hardy riders looked forward, as the
one center Of civilization between the
banks of the Missouri on the east and
the gold diggings Of California on
the west, with untold dangers lying
in wait between. Indians, hostile and
revengeful and wild animals threat
ened every step of the way, besides
the danger from exposure to cold and
storms to which the intrepid horse
men were constantly subjected. u
The idea of the pony express had
its beginning in the brains of w. M.
Gwin, one of the United States sena-
tors from the state of California and
B. F. Ficklin, superintendent of the
we'll known freighting firm of Russell,
Major & Wadlell, also of the Golden
state. In the fall of 1854 Senator
Gwin, in order to take up his legis-
.lative duties at Washington, rode
horseback from the Pacific coast to
the Missouri river by way of Sacra-
mento Salt Lake City and down the
Platte to st. Joseph. According to
William Lightfoot Visscher, who has
written a very meritorious book on
the pony express, it was standing
joke in those days that the term of
a member of Congress from California
might run out while he was on the
way to the national capital, if he was
much delayed enroute.
While on his way thus to Washing
ton, Senator Gwin and Mr.. Filklin
conceived the idea which finally cul-
minated in placing the pony express
on the road, although the route was

LAW
Trent Is From Missouri
.'-City Tract to Be
Opened.

That the land board does not thor
oughlv understand the new homestead
law became evident last night when r.
II. Trent questioned Commissioner Mars
ton Campbell s right to exercise his own
discretion in the matter of deciding
whether applicants for homesteads shall
get the lands they apply for or realty
of similar description and situated in
the same locality.
Trent said that if the new Organic
Act gave the commissioner power to re
iect applications for plantation lands
and compel the applicant to take other
lands for homesteads there was some
thing wrong with the law. He declared
further that if the office of commission
er should be held under such a law by a
person hostile to the demonstrating
policy the whole plan and the spirit OF
the law which the public believed had
been enacted for the general welfare
would come to naught and homesteadlng
would be a fiction instead of a fact.
The discussion began when Trent said
