STAGE COACHES
MADE FAST RUNS
IS MILES AN HOUR WAS RECORD
IN HEYDAY OF OLD TIME
TRANSPORTATION
Trip From Salt Lake City to Virginia
City Was Made IN Four and One
Half Days; Il Cost $500. 600 a Year
to Run Overland Line.

Fourteen miles En So minutes was
a record In the heyday of stage
coaching In the west, wrote Char
ence z. hfuEf0rd IN the Frontier.
The novelist and authority on the
history of the old west pointed cut
that Zone OF the Denver runS-65S
miles-was made iu A days; from
Salt Lake City 10 Virginia City,
Nev.-575 miies-a run was made
in ~ hours, and part OF this was
made at the rate OF Is miles an
hour.
ON the western end, a rate Of over
10 miles an hour was maintained for
hours. Ben Halliday broke all rec
ords for the entire distance in 1854,
when he was on the Pacific coast and
learned that important business de-
manded his presence In the east. He
made the run from Placerville, through
TO Atchison, 1913 miles, in II days
and 2 hours, beating the regular
schedule by five days, and averaging
6 % miles an hour over the route
with all stops included This feat cost
him $1,000 in wear and tear. but 1t
electrified the country and its adver-
Using value largely offset the cost.
Never before had this trail been beaten
in any manner outside Of the Pony
beat it less than five days, and whose
regular schedule runs beat 1t only by
two"
Slow travel in these days of mile a
minute limited and two miles a min
ute airplanes-but it would be a mis-
take to think of the stagecoach lines
across the plains as a small under
taking. To organize such system
would be called big business even now,
and in those days the capital required
to keep mails and passengers moving
through the Indian country amounted
to a huge sum.
In the heyday of the Overland it
had 1873 stations between the Missouri
river and the waters Of the Pacific
Over its route for q year and a half
the flashing horses of Russell, Majors
g. Waddell's famous Pony express had
carried the written word on q general
schedule of 10 days. The equipment OF
the line included about 500 coaches
and express coaches and 500 freight
wagons; on the main line alone there
were 100 ConcordS and nearly 1900
horses and mules. The harness, alone,
amounted to nearly $4,000. 1t cost ST.
100000 a year to run the line during
the Indian troubles of 1864-65, when
a 400-mile section of the route was
destroyed by the savages and nearly
100000 worth of damage done; hay
went up $125 a ton and grain, along
the line. to $400 q ton. In one day at
st. Louis seven steamboats, were char
tered to load with corn for the Over
land needs"

Lag in Profits Due
This Fall Despite
Rising Activity
Survey by Banking
Says Business Faces
Heavy Toxotion
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Aug. 26-Commerce
and industry are faced with rising
activity but tagging profits this fall,
according to a survey by the maya
zine Banking issued today.
American rearmament efforts will
step up industrial output, said the
review, but business also realizes
"the Government is under the pain
full necessity of taxing the hide of
business in order to pay the rearma-
ment bill"
Declaring that almost every
major business problem awaiting
solution at the moment has its roots
in the conflict abroad" the magazine
compared the present position with
that existing during World War
No. l:
"At that time there was no debt
limit to worry about, the Treasury
could borrow money with an easy
conscience and public opinion was
tolerant of large profits. There is
much likelihood today that profits
will be severely curtailed and that
defense taxes will get the lions share
of what is left"

Secretary Ickes'
Victoryin S75O,OOO
Libel Suit Upheld
U. S. Court Of Appeals
Affirms Dismissal of
Texas Lawyers Claim

The United States Court of APP
peals today upheld a District Court
decision which dismissed a S750,0O0
libel suit brought against Secretary
of the Interior Ickes by John D.
Glass, Tyler, Tex, attorney, in
connection with a press release is
sued by Mr.. Ickes.
Mr.. Glass claimed the release was
defamatory to him.
The three justices who heard the
case held unanimously that the re-
lease was privileged" Chief JUS
tice Lawrence Groner, in a separate
concurring opinion, however, sharply
criticized the manner in which the
decision broadened the scope of
official authority"
Chief Justice Groner expressed
grave concern over extending the
privilege of executive officers in
such situation. He wrote:
80 I express with great defer
ence the fear that in this and pre-
vious cases we may have extended
the rule beyond the reasons out of
which it grew, and thus unwittingly
created privilege so extensive as
to be almost unlimited and alto
gether subversive to the funda-
mental principle that no man in
this country is so high that he is
above the law"
The suit was based on a press
release issued November %, 1888,
by Secretary Ickes dealing with
solicitation of funds by Mr.. Glass,
who proposed to fight for changes
in the enforcement of the Connally
Hot Oil" Act.
The other justices hearing the
case were Justices Fred M. Benson
and Henry w. Edgerton. Justice
Benson wrote the opinion, concurred
in by Justice Edgerton.
Justice Benson pointed out that
the appeal conceded that the state
mentS In the release were "for the
most part" literally true. The ques-
ton for the court to decide, it was
said, was whether the statements
were privileged.
He wrote that publication of an
announcement that Mr.. Glass was
not at that time permitted to prac-
tice before the board was proper
if not essential"
Justice Benson held that the Sec
rotary issued the announcement at
a not inappropriate time"

Chino Makes Coins
In Suppressinq Opium

Opium cultivation has been sup
pressed almost completely in 1T
provinces of China, except in war
areas, it is reported at Shanghai.
In 1889 China made the greatest
progress in its attempt to stop cul-
tivation and smoking of opium
since the adoption of the six-year
opium suppression program by the
Chinese government in 1885. China
is said to be less harassed today by
the evil than at any time in cen
Stlries.c When the National govern
'ment was established in 1927 it
adopted absolute suppression. l"
After years of futile effort it
changed in 1885 to a policy of grad
ual suppression" by which the evil
was to be wiped out in six years. It
Is hoped that by next year it will
have disappeared.

Figures
What TheyMeon
BY JOHN L. BECKLEY,
Associated Press Statistician.

NEW YORK, August 26.-Manu-
facturers of railroad equipment,
after a long fast, are once more
eating three square meals day.
Activity in the shops of the freight
car makers is the greatest since the
early days of the great depression,
while locomotive builders are the
busiest in several years.
The flood of orders last fall kept
the equipment makers hard at work
during most Of the first half of this
year. In the first seven months of
1910 the carriers put into service
more than 10000 new freight cars,
almost four times as many as in the
January July period the preceding
year and the largest number for
any corresponding time since 1880
New orders were slow this spring,
however, and work in many shops
began to slacken in May and June
With the sudden shift in European
affairs, though, railroads began to
order more equipment in anticipa-
ton of well-sustained traffic from
the rearmament program. New or
ders picked up rapidly in June and
July and trade sources say that
commitments made in August will
reach a respectable total.
The outlook for future business,
analysts say, is rather good. While
a repetition of last falls large-scale
equipment orders Is hardly to be
expected in coming months, trade
sources are looking for a fairly
steady flow of new business reflect
ing the improvement in railroad
earnings.
Munitions orders are also expected
to play an increasingly important
role in keeping equipment shops
busy.
