Six Different Mail Routes
Between Missouri and Pacific

By 1889 there were no less than
six different mail routes from the
Missouri river to California and
the Oregon country, the annual
cost to the government being more
than 100000. A curious feat
ure. of the early mail routes was one
mail contract between Independ-
ence and Stockton, Calf, which
was in effect for nearly year and
cost the postal department $4,000.
The entire mail matter received at
Stockton in that period consisted
of two letters and 20 newspapers.
In 1859 congress investigated the
western mail routes and there was
a general shaking up" which re-
suited in saving Of 81 100000 a.
year.

Overland Mail Route of COS Spawned the Wilderness
and Was Mighty Influence In Pushing Back Frontiers

After half a dozen years of ex-
Fermentation the postmaster-gen-
eral issued an order creating al
official transcontinental route fol-
mail stages as follows From St
Louis and Memphis, converging al
Little Rock, Ark. thence via Pres
ton, Texas, to the best point OF
crossing the Rio Grande above FL
Paso, and thence to Fort Yuma,
Calf, and to San Francisco. The
length of the route was 2,720 miles
and the schedule time from St.
Louis to San Francisco was rs DAYS
or about three days ahead of the
ocean steamer.
The mail matter transported
overland consisted almost entirely
Of letters, postage being at the rate
of ten cents for each half-ounce.
The first contract was awarded to
John Butterfield, William B. Dins-
more, William G. Fargo, Hamilton
Spencer and half a dozen other
prominent citizens of New York.
The service was seni-weekly and
the compensation paid was upward
of $4,000 year. The stage line
was very well equipped, having
more than 100 of the finest Com
cord stage coaches, 1000 horses,
500 mules, $50 drivers and COOL
other employees. The fare across
the continent was 500 in gold. On
each of the coaches departing on
the first trip from St. Louis and
San Francisco was correspondent
of one of the great New York dali
les of that time. The coach going
east from San Francisco made the
trip through to St Louis in half an
hour less than "a days. The first
stage made the distance
in an hour or two less time. The
arrival of the first stage at San

ence to Sacramento. The annua
receipts were only 5,4O0, including
passenger fares.
Independence was an old trad
ing point, and it became the most
important town in Missouri except
ing St. Louis in the early days Of
the overland mail. In 1880 it had
become the outfitting point for
long ox-train caravans hauling
merchandise to Santa Fe and Chi
huahua over the famous old Santa
Fe trail. The first stage coach left
there in May, 1849. The stages,
even at that early time, were hand
somely equipped and carried eight
passengers. The bodies were
bright with paint and varnish and
were water-tight so that they
would float in deep fords across
streams. Six mules pulled each
coach and there were eight guards,
heavily armed.

Eureka Chemical Plant Output

According to Manager C. A. We'll
of the Eureka Chemical company, the
plant will soon be producing six tons
of the now famous mucic acid daily.
We'll states that the test run proved
a great success, and orders have been
pouring in so fast that immediate
steps have been taken to double the
capacity of the plant. The value of
the product is about $500 a ton.
The company is now paying $3.50
a ton for tamarack butts, and is buy
ing timber from as far west as Troy.
IL is expected the factory eventually
will draw on all the tamarack forests
OF the valley. including those near
kalispell, and this will aid materially
IN clearing up large areas of stump
land.
The product of the plant is eager
ly sought by baking powder factor
les, self-rising flour makers and like
concerns, and the Eureka concern
has orders on hand for six months
run.

best adapted to staging. He equip
ped his stage line with the best We
hicles obtainable. These stages,
built in Concord, N. H., were de-
signed to carry nine passengers
inside and one or two on the seat
with the driver. AS many as IS
passengers were carried at times.
In 1868 the fare from Atchison to
Denver was SIS. Later it was in
creased to S125, and then to S175.
Collateral lines were established
north and south. The fare from
Atchison to Virginia City, Mon
tana, in 1866, was $3.50. The fare
to Salt Lake that year was $3.50.
The first contract for carrying mail
from Atchison to California and
intermediate points was for 81 ,00O,
600 a year. Later the compensa-
ton was reduced to $4,000.
Among the remarkably fast
stage rides made across the plains
during overland days was one
made by Holiday from California
to Atchison. While in San Fran
cisco he received a telegram to go
to New York in the quickest time
possible. He sent word ahead to
his division agents to have every
thing in readiness and made the
trip by special coach from Placer
vile to Atchison, a distance OF
1000 miles, in II days and two
hours, beating the regular daily
schedule by five DAVIS.

Holidays Fast Trip on
Overland Cost Him $4,000

i This was a somewhat expensive
Tourney, the cost in wear ard teal
| of stock, vehicles and other ex
lpenses amounting to $4,000 How
lever, Holiday considered it to be
a great advertisement for his stage
lime, being the quickest trip ever
made across the plains excepting
by pony express.
Holiday remained at the head
of the Overland line for five years.
In the latter part of 1866 he dis
posed of rolling stock, stations,
livestock and all other equipment
of the line to Wells, Fargo & Co.,
which firm soon had exclusive con-
troll of all express and stage routes
between the Missouri river and the
Pacific coast.
Some of the most horrible afro
cities committed by Indians on the
plains were along the old overland
stage route. In an attack which be-
gan August z, 1864. and lasted for
several days, the Arapahoes cap
tured train of nine wagons, cap
tured and destroyed several stage
coaches, burned stations and muir
dered a score of men and women
along the South Platte river in
Colorado. At the Liberty Farm
station on Little Blue river the but
,heries were worst. The station
Keeper and stage driver were tor
ured in a horrible manner before

ormer and their child were cap

Holiday Develops Greatest
Stage Line on the Globe.

When the government decided
to contract for a daily overland
mail service, the contractors SEM
out long wagon trains to transport
supplies across the plains to the va
| rlous stage stations on the frontier
1t required train of Is to SO
wagons to haul provisions, forage
and necessary supplies for each
division of the line, as it took an
enormous quantity of these to feed
the army of employees, the hundreds
of head of stock and the passen-
gers. 1t was necessary to have at
each station extra teams for use
in case of losses from Indian raids
and other losses incident to the
|perils of 1000 miles of wilderness.
The speed with which the stations
were built and equipped was con-
sidered remarkable.
With the exception Of few
weeks in each of three years-1862,
1864 and 18o5-there was no inter
ruption of the daily overland mail
running between Atchison and Ca
lifornia for about five years. It
was the greatest stage line on the
globe, and the genius who develop
ed it to its greatest success was
Ben Holiday, who had a long and
career on the frontier and
was possessed of remarkable abil-
ity as an organizer and executive.
He employed the most experienced
stage men in the country. He
bought, regardless of price, the fin
est horses and mules of the type

First Daily Overland Mail
Established in 1861.

| President Buchanan sent Butterl
field a telegram of congratulation
declaring the event to be "a glor-
ious triumph for civilization and
the Union" He added. Settle
ments will soon follow the course
of the road and the east and west
will be bound together by chain
of living Americans which can
never be broken. "
The first daily overland mail was
established in July, 1861, from St.
Joseph, Missouri, and later from
Atchison, Kansas, to Placerville,
Calf. 1t crossed the desert on
what was known as the central
route, which was ,o20 miles long,
passing via Forts Kearney and
Bridger and Salt Lake City. Five
months later the first telegraph line
was completed across the continent.
The Butterfield Overland Des-
patch, an express and fast freight
line, was started across the desert
on the Smoky Hill route in 1866,
but on account of financial diff
culties brought on by Indian depre-
dations, this enterprise was a fail
ure. Then followed a consolida-
ton known as the Holiday Over
land Mail and Express Company.
The stage stations along the
route of the overland mail were
built at an average distance of ten
miles apart, although in some cases
they were as much as 65 miles
apart. Many we're built of adobe,
Or Mexican brick. The establish
nent of the daily stage service by
he shorter route cut the time of |
the continent from rs days
o Is.

Early Mail Service on
Overland Slow and Uncertain.

In July, 1854, the government lei
another contract for carrying mail
from the present site of Kansas
City to Salt Lake, but so frequent
we're attacks on stages by Indians
that the contractors for some time
found it necessary to pack the mail
on three mules, escorted by three
men who also rode mules. 1t took
more than a month to make the
trip from independence, Mo-, to
Salt Lake City. When the stage
coaches were used passengers were
charged $3.50 to Salt Lake City and
$500 to California. The contractor
failed in 1856 and after that for a
year overland mail service was ir-
regular In 1857, when the Nor
mon trouble was at its height, Gen
eral Albert Sidney Johnston, who
later was commander-in-chief of
the Confederate army and was kill
ed at Shiloh, was sent by the gov
eminent with 5000 men to quell the
disturbances, but was forced toll
spend the winter at Fort Bridger,
and this necessitated the establish
ment of a regular mail service to
keep in touch with Johnston and
his troops. A contract for weekly |
mail delivery was let at a price of |
$15,833 a month, and later the
government paid $4,000 a year
for carrying mail from Independ-

Element of California with people
from every state and territory in
the union. The invasion of the
new gold fields, in fact, included
people from every nation of the
civilized globe. While this brought
about, eventually, the establish
ment of the first mail route across
the continent, for a period of nine
years after following the first gold
strike there was no time that the
mail was received from the east in
San Francisco more frequently
than twice month, and then by
steamer after it had been trans
ported across the Isthmus of Pan
anna.
The first overland mail west of
the Missouri river was established
in 1913, and was called the Great
Salt Lake Mail. The first contract
to transfer mail from Independ-
ence, Mo-, on the Missouri river, to |
Salt Lake City, was awarded in
1850 to, Samuel H. Woodson. This |
was a monthly service, the contract
price being $4,000 year. The
route was 1900 miles long through |!

from Missouris western border to
the Salt Lake valley. Woodson
contracted later with Utah men to Il

time there was no settlement be- II
tween Salt Lake and Fort Laramie

and Salt Lake, but it was found !
