St. Joseph, Mo. Aug. 30.-A lone
rider weary from many miles OF
travel, pushing his horse in final
burst Of speed, rode into st. Joseph
one April afternoon In 1860 to be
greeted by cheering thousands await
ing him. He had completed the first
trip OF the pony express service over
land by horse back from Sacramento
and established cross-contlnental COM
munication between the vast stretch
OF the west and the east. While
this rider was being acclaimed in st.
Joseph, another who carried mail
which had left st. Joseph some 10
days earlier, was being greeted in
Sacramento. The two had shortened
communication between the Pacific
and the Atlantic by many thousands

Senator w. NJ, Gwin Of California
In the fall of 1854 made trip over
land by horse from California TO the
middlewest: He was accompanied on
the way by b. I. F'inklin. general
manager of the freighting concern
of Majors. Russell 4 Wendall. one
OF the large stage companies of the
middlewest. On the way the FEAST
bility OF pony express was dis
cussed but the matter was dropped.
With the increase In population in
California, due to the gold rush of
40, demands were made for faster
communication between California
and Washington. The shortest route
then was by boat to Panama, portage
across the isthmus TO the Atlantic
and up the Atlantic coast to Wash
ington.
Now York capitalists saw a good
field and in the winter OF 1859 asked
congress for subsidy OF $4,000. 900
to establish n pony express. Then
Senator Gwin recalled his talk with
MIR. Finklin and sent hurried call to
