crossing the Sierras at Carson's Can
you, then following along the Carson
and Humboldt rivers and around the
northern end of Great Salt Lake. In
the first journey across the mountains
it took at times whole day to make
two miles through the snow. Before
the end of the first year Woodward
was killed by Indians near Great Salt
Lake. Winter proved the northern
route impracticable, SO, after an I'M
satisfactory trial of the Feather-river
route, Chorpenning changed the win
ter route so that the mails when from
Salt Lake to San Pedro and thence
on a Panama mail steamer to San
Francisco. By 1858 the quantity of
mail carried increased so much-and
also the government remuneration
that Chorpenning was able to run a
stage line of four-horse coaches along
the mail route. A new route was dis
covered, south of Great Salt Lake,
which shortened the journey a hum
dred miles.
The very idea of the "Pony Ex-
press" was anticipated by Major Chor-
penning, for in December, 1858, when
the presidents message was about to
he issued, Chorpenning placed a fresh
horse at each mail station from Salt
Lake to California, and Sacramento
read President Buchanan's second an
nual message only seventeen days aft
it had been delivered to Congress. This
was two years before Russell & Co.
established the famous PONY Ex-
press"
Californians who read a Chicago
newspaper only three days old, or who
look out over the desert from a din
ing car table, little realize the dan
gers and difficulties of these long-for-
gotten pioneer mail contractors. Du-
ring the ten years Major Chorpenning
was engaged in this service, says Mr..
Coy, he lost at the hands of the In
dians nearly 800 head of horses and
mules, and many coaches, wagons and
station buildings, and sixteen of his
brave messengers were slain by the
Indians.

USING RING KNOWLEDGE
TO MAKE BETTER BOYS
By H. c.. Hamilton

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
New York, Feb. "a long time
ago, when boxers were getting no
more money for their labors than they
were entitled to, there was budding
young welterweight hanging around
Omaha, Kansas City and St. Joseph,
Mo. He grew into a welterweight,
but he persisted in just hanging
around.
This youth never set the world afire
with his accomplishments, but it was
said he could take more punches and
come back quicker than any man alive.
1t also was said of him that fairer,
cleaner boxer never stepped under the
ropes of a ring. He fought Clarence
English, boxer of pust the opposite
type, and Clarence admitted he had
taken a big job on his hands in pun
ishing the youngster. English, at that
time, was one of the best lightweights
in the game-and one of the trick
lest.
Time went on and the youth grad
ually quit fighting. He couldn't whip
anyone who amounted to anything.
Then one day he listened to a street
evangelist and a new fight was on.
Rev. Kid Wedge started from there
and he has been knocking out the
devil ever since.
Recently there came the news from
Rhinelander, Wis.,, that Kid Wedge
had applied for and been granted a
license to conduct boxing bouts in a
church of which he was pastor. Rev.
Wedge himself stated that he was 60
ing to teach the young boys in his
Sunday school how to box. Spectators
and boxers will be members of the
church and the Sunday school.
Rev. Wedge has organized an anna
teur athletic class in connection with
his Sunday school and takes personal
charge of boxing classes.

Woman Opposes Military Training.

Sacramento, Feb. 9.-One of the
most active women in the second half
of the California legislative session
which begins February 26 will be Mrs.
5. NJ. Richardson of San Francisco,
prominent in the affairs of the Wom-
ems Peace Party. Mrs. Richardson,
with the endorsement of the Congress
Of Mothers, will fight the bills which
propose military training in the
schools.
But while she will oppose the mill
tary feature, she will make a strong
appeal for the Luce bill, which pro-
poses compulsory physical training.
american mothers" says Mrs.
Richardson, "are as patriotic on the
whole as the men, and the mothers
first thought is to train her boys to
be good citizens and to be morally
and physically fit to be good soldiers
when their country needs them. We
think, in the tender years of their life,
they should not be under military dis
cipline. It is a we'll known fact that
strict military discipline destroys in
itiative and makes boys regulars au-
tomatons-followers instead of lead
ers."

FINDS FORGOTTEN PIONEER
MAIL-MESSENGERS

A long-delayed recognition has at
last come to heroic pioneers who car
ried the mails to California for ten
years before the famous PONY EX-
press" was established.
Everyone knows the romantic story
of the Pony Express but by a Gu
rious irony of fate the world had
forgotten until now predecessors who
for decade faced every danger of
nature and of hostile Indians to car
ry the mails across plains and noun
tains to California. This forgotten
history has been recovered through
documents sent to the California His
torical Survey Commission, at its head
quarters at the University Of Califor-
MIA, by H. Chorpenning BcGee of Berk-
eley.
Discovery has been made by Owen
C. Coy, secretary of the commission,
through examination of these docu-
ments, that as early as April 25, 1851,
nearly ten years before the PONY EX-
press" was started, the United States
contracted with George Cohrpenning
and Absalom Woodward to pay $14,-
600 a year to have the mail carried
once each month between Salt Lake
and Sacramento. The contractors
agreed to make the 91O-mile journey
in not more than thirty days. The
original route was along the regular
emigrant road through Placerville,

MOTOR TOURISTS ARE
NUMEROUS THIS WINTER

Despite winter weather conditions
elsewhere, motorist visitors are flock
ing to this part Of the state in num-
bers never before equaled, at this
time of the year, according to re-
port issued from the headquarters OF
the Automobile Club of Southern Cal
,ifornia.
In telegram received by Secretary
Is. L. Mitchell of the club from COL
onel D. K. B. Sellers at Albuquerque,
N. M, it is stated that inquiry there
from the East as to transcontlnental
travel for March and April is unusu-
Ially heavy.
1t is remarkable that so many mo-
torists are arriving. as weather con-
ditions have been such as to practical
lily block many of the roads through
out the East and North. Practically
the only way to reach the Pacific
Coast at this time is via the National
Old Trails sign-posted highway, north
of which all roads have been blocked
with snow.
However, even despite some heavy
going, more than an average of one
car day is getting through, headed
for Southern California.
1t is estimated at the Automobile
Club headquarters that more than 3d.
900 automobile parties will visit this
part of the state during the season,
as the fame of Southern California
as touring ground spreads. Thou
sands of inquiries from all eastern
points have already been received by
the club in regard to road informa-
tion.
The club is sending out thousands
of maps to motorists in the East who
are planning to come west, and is ex-
tending it's service to include the Of
fer to supply all visitors with tour
ing information and on how best to
see the wonderful highway systems of
Southern California. These visitors
each spend from two to three or four
months here, and then they have not
seen all of the roads, according to Sec
etary Mitchell.
