OF course, that picturesque little
yarn does not mean that every parcel
was so handled, for there were many
carriers of such precious possessions
who accepted responsibility for the
safe delivery of a package as cour-
teous privilege and exacted nc
charges. But the actual foundation
of the stupendous network of express
services of today had its beginning In
the involved and undependable ac-
commodation which was rendered a
century ago by the coach drivers
pictured in the fictitious character OF
Yves Tackett.
From that early. uncertain carpet
bag service up to the efficient and
speedy transportation facilities Of to-
day MIR. Harlow spreads the history
of the express companies in a colorful
panoramic review. There are fasci-
mating chapters on the first letter car
riers of the Far West, chapters filled
with the romance of the express riders
of '49, the Overland Mail and Express,
the famous flying Pony Express of the
Plains and other thrilling phases OF
the growth of the vast systems OF
communication which are epochal in
their relationship to the rapid recess
sion of the frontiers of American
civilization. There are also chapters
giving vivid character portraits of
those pioneers whose names are
synonymous with the services they
organized, William F. Harnden, Alvin
Adams, Henry Wells, William Fargo,
Ben Holiday and others.
Chapters dealing with that dramatic
era of daring train and coach rob-
berries reviewing the exploits Of the
famous James boys and other charac-
ters equally notable for their bold and
fearless deeds bring back memories
of the West when 1t was indeed q
wild and hazardous territory. The
book is profusely illustrated with
photographs and reproductions oi
paintings and drawings picturing

Furthermore, is IL quite apparent
that the sandstone which formed ON

taceous seacoast swung EASTWARD,
else the Nen well would have shared
the fate OF the Carmen wen In 19-

sand at the SiInero well caused many
OF us to fear that there would be no

visualize the old seacoast there was o
possibility that the sand might be
THICKER at the Neil location than
at the Simero. Such was the case.

bending every effort to buy every

possibility Of OH ali the way across am

THIS Is A SAND FIELD:
WHERE THE SAND HAS BEEN
PRESENT, OIL HAS BEEN
FOUND IN EVERY WE'LL

MILES OF SAND BETWEEN
THESE TWO WELLS, THERE
Is NINE MILES OF OIL LAND.
Those who grasped the gAtmmaion
were willing TO pawn their shirts TO
buy royalties which we were able to
obtain.
