ROMAN PUTS LID ON HYOER GAMES;

"The lid has been clamped upon Hyder, the dance halls are closed and gambling and drinking have been declared illegal When l lert, ten days ago, there were about l25 people at Hyder and about 100 at Stewart. on the British Columbia side. If Hyder had remained wide open for three more months, that place would have boasted of at least 10000 people, but now the last frontier town in Alaska is tight.
 That. in short, is the story of Hyder brought to Cordova recently by H. A. Bowers, tonsorial artist and mining man.
 "Old sourdoughs would have en- loved the sight in Hyder as l did at first" said MT.

EXPRESS RIDERS, EXPRESS TRAINS,
 NOW A|RP[ANES

SAN FRANCISCO. - Sixty years ago the pony express which carried letters from St. Louis to San Fran cisco in eight days was inaugurated. Today plans are being made to es- tablish transcontinental airplane mail service. and trail-blazing flights have been made as far west as Omaha
 It was great achievement when the pony express was started to carry the mail to the young but bustling state of California in 1860. Its inauguration was preceded by the publication in St. Louis paper, in March of that year, of the fol- lowing advertisements:
 "To San Francisco in eight days. The first carrier of the Pony EN- press will leave the Missouri river on Tuesday, April 5, and will run regularly weekly thereafter. carry ing letter mail only. Telegraph mail eight days, letters ten days to San Francisco
 The population of San Francisco and other California towns eagerly welcomed this service, bringing them into touch as it did with the states from which the gold hunters and other fortune-seekers had migrated
 Ten riders going each way. with changed horses every p miles brought the pouches of mail across the thousand-mile wilderness. Ths pony express. with its fast riders among them Buffalo Bill" tColone

 man, was one of the most romantl,

 eraged 75 miles a day. but ofte'
 covered double that distance. "Buf :, falo Bill" once made ride of 3s'
 miles when the messenger who wa . waiting was killed. Often chase P by Indians or ':sniped" by outlaw. F the pony express riders were eS F posed to death at all times. an . they braved rain and snowstorm x as part of an everyday duty. e One of the memorable achieve q ments of the pony express was tn l. delivery of Lincoln's inaugural ao Il dress in 1861. when all the Wester Q country was waiting for the mo
 mentous news from the capital. Tn
 addres swas hurried to St. Joseph l. Mo. the taking of place of tn ,s pony express. Wrapped in oilski n and put in saddlebags, the addres l. was started on its way amid wll s. cheers. Fresh horses waited a- every ten miles, and the final te is miles before reaching San Franclsc of was made in 31 minutes. The mes
 age was carried by the riders tot;
 of 1850 miles in 1s5 hours. a lg average of a little more than te to miles an hour. That was wonderf'
 in those days. *..- ;
