fT"THE P0NY EXPRESS. '.
Pearlsss Riders and the Danger and
' Hardships They Faced.
Perhaps the .most picturesque figure
on the old trail was the pony express
rider, The overland stage proved too
slow for mall and express in It flight
from the Missouri and the Pad Be.
True, it had cut down the month of
the old ox team to twenty-five days,
and still there was a clamor that the
east and west be brought closer , to
gether, and It wan done.: The pony
cut the time to ten days.
Those who were personally acquaint
ed with the famous pony express ot
those days could never forget the, in
trepid rider who braved all peril, for
getful ' of self, Intent ' only on . the
speedy delivery of his precious mo-
chlla ; to the ' next hardy horseman.
Hard and fast be rode over mountain
and plain, across scorching desert and
icy snow, through sunshine and rain,
past friend. ' away from foe, to the
final achievement the safe delivery
of his charge. ' ' "
, Forty fearless horsemen In saddle
riding west, as many more riding east
and this novel but useful enterprise
was in motion. ' For two years the
pony express carried messages of busi
ness and love 1 across 2,000 miles of
western ' mountains and plains, over
a country peopled with a hostile race,
destitute of cultivation ' or develop
ment, through a region wild, desolate
and little known.
It was In 1859 that the pony express
was established. .The route,' briefly
stated, was due west from' St Joseph
to Fort Kearney, hp the Platte to
Julesburg, thence, by Fort Laramie
and Fort Brldger. to Salt Lake City,
thence to Camp Floyd, Ruby valley,
the Humboldt, . Carson City, Placer
vllje and Folsom, to Sacramento and
San Francisco by boat
The Intention of the pony express
was to carry letters only aad not more
than ten pounds at a trip." 'It was de
cided that the safest and easiest mode
of carrying the mall was to make four
pockets, one in each corner of the mo
chlla, a covering made of heavy leath
er for the saddles and generally used
by the expert, Mexican and Spanish
riders. The mochlla was transferred
from pony to pony and went through
from St Joseph to San Francisco, the
pockets containing the mall being lock
ed' and opened only at military posts
en route and at Salt Lake City, Those
precious letters were wrapped in oiled
silk to protect them, but even this pre
caution sometimes failed. Rivers had
to be crossed; horse and rider swam
together, W. C. Jenkins in National
Magazine, v '
Grew Too Tall.
"I recall a case of genuine bone
headedness, mixed .with enthusiasm,
that cost a great many people a bunch
of money." said an oil operator. "It
was during the time when a big strike
meant a drop Id the price of oil. The
foreman of a drill crew had been In
structed by the employers to use a
code in the event of oil being found.
If it was a big flow he was to wire,
'Pine trees grow tall.' If, on the other
hand, the flow was small, 'Pine trees
grow small, was to be the code mes
sage. The drill struck a gusher, and
the following message was sent by the
ivory topped Individual: Tine trees
grow tall as hell, and she is flowing
11 over th? derrick T Of course there
were a number of men about th ex
change who could understand teleg-
raphy, and the consequence was that
the price of oil dropped about $2 a
barrel in a few minutes." Louisville
