ON 10000 MILE TRIP.
Overland Westerners Reach Daniel son-Ranch Horse Pinto With Them for Endurance Test.

After resting in Danielson over night and during a part of Satur- day afternoon c. c. Beck. J. B. Ran som and R. G. Payne, known as the Overland Westerners, mounted their ponies Sunday morning and started for Providence, their next objective point in a 10000 mile trip across the con tinent and back again, d journey that started at Olympia, Wash, May l, 1912 and is scheduled to end at San Fran cisco, June l. 1915. during the Panama international exposition.
 Dressed in typical plainsman style, the quartet is about as Clean-cut ac- tive and thoroughly alive com bination as one is apt to meet with, and they are gentlemen, not of the pampered, pink tea variety, but of the real, red blooded, American type, strong, cour- ageous, polite and able to take care of themselves in emergencies where real men are needed.
 All have lived their lives on the western plains Their proposition is, in the interest of western horsemen, to show the durability of the western range horse. Between the dates men toned they are to visit every capital in the United States. making the entire trip in the saddle. With them they have a sturdy little ranch horse Pinto by name. He represents the dura- bility test part of the scheme. If the oVerlanders succeed in having him complete the entire journey of 10000 miles, a syndicate of western ranch owners will feel so well satisfied over the staying qualities of their breed of horses that they will pay the men $20, 900, a dollar mile, and the horse will be shown at the exposition as a living advertisement In the interest of their business. Pinto is standing up well. He has now passed through 22 states, travelled $500 miles, is 15 pounds heavier than when he started out and in first class condition. In the meantime six other horses have been used tip by the party. The aver age travel is 22 miles a day.
 The overlanders started out with out a cent. They get revenue by the sale of cards relative to their trip, but use it sparingly. While here they slept with their horses at Kennedy's stable and considered this comfortable as compared with camping on the plains in western states
