I Sun Blistered Town In Utah Erects Shaft On Spot Where Riders Changed Horses Seventy Years Ago "Ibapah run-bltsfered town In Utah's Deep Creek valley, recently turned back the pages of 70 years' history and dedicated a shaft mark ing the location of the Pony Express station which was the forerunner of the town. The village, home of 313 residents, lies at the edge of a desert, about five miles east of the Utah Nevada boundary. "This 'station' was one of the 130 established between St. Joseph. Mis souri, and San Francisco, In an ef fort to- cut in half the time neces sary to communicate between the east and west coasts of the United States," says a bulletin from the Washington, D. C. headquarters of the National Geographic Society, "It was In tills region that Indians, by frequent attacks, nearly caused the abandonment of the Pony Express within two month after It waa es tablished. Pony Express Inaugurated In 1860 "By 1800 the outside edges of the continent had been colonized and whltemen's activities penetrated in land from the east as far as the Mis souri river. But between 'Saint Jo and San Francisco lay a forbidding 1. 066-mile expanse Indian Infested plains of Kansas and Nebraska, mountains of Colorado and Wyom ing, and deserts of Utah and Nevada.. At that time, men generally linked the two Jagged edges of the nation by the circuitous 28-day route sail ing from New York to Panama, trav eling by mule train across the isth mus, then taking ship to San Fran cisco. "But the nation waa growing. Men in the west sought closer contact with those In the east. So was born the Pony Express to brave the wilds of the direct route, St. Joseph to San Francisco. "On April 3. 1860, all waa ready for a simultaneous start from the two ends of the line. From the east Into RUMMAGE SALE Will be held by the American Legion Auxiliary October 12, Sparta Bldgr. At 3 p. m. and continuing all day Saturday October 13 St. Joseph puffed a railway train bearing special mall bags from New York. A waiting rider transferee; them to his saddle and aped away to the weat. For ten days and nights there after, horses' hoof pounded con stantly over the trail now quietly in soft sands, now clattering across stony mountain passes, now echoing through deep canyons until the mall arrived In San Francisco. It was done tn a little over tea days. The next trip took two weeks, but later several trips were made in 9 days. Carried Lincoln's Inaugural Address "That same April 3, mall started from San Francisco eastward, going to Sacramento by boat. There a daring rider tightened his saddle girths, atrapped on the pouches, and waa off. He covered the first 30 miles tn 99 minutes, traveled 03 miles farther and relayed the bags to a waiting rider. The second rode past the sum mit of the Sierra, Nevadas, where the next man took up the ride. The first three men covered a total distance of 183 miles, part of which was through 30 feet of snow; they did It In 13 hour and 30 minutes! From there five others followed one another, gal toping through Ruby Valley, Deep Creek Valley, Rush Valley, and Camp Floyd at Salt Lake City. Eastward from the Mormon settlement the mall was hurried to Saint Joseph, where the town went wild with ex citement over the successful under taking. "Incredible as It may seem, the quickest time ever made by the Pony Express waa In winter weather. The document transmitted was President Lincoln's Inaugural message of March 4, 1861. It waa borne over 3,000 miles In seven days and 17 hours, said to be the fastest long distance horse back riding ever done. Five Dollars Per Letter "To maintain the speed of nearly 330 miles a day, there could be no excess weight carried. Preference was given to riders light as jockeys whose enduranct and bravery were unques tioned. Their pouches were small, a bundle containing hundreds of com munications often being no larger than an ordinary writing pad. Each letter waa written on the thinnest tissue paper and for lta transpor tation across the continent, five dol lars waa paid tn advance. The large newspapers of the country furnished much of the business. "A rider's safety rested largely with his wits. To keep down weight, he carried generally only a revolver and a knife.

'Buffalo BUI Cody made the longest rtde recorded by the Pony Express. He had ridden 76 miles over his own run, only to find that the man who should have relieved him had been kilted the night before. The station master urfred Cody to ride the vacant route, ft was an 85-mIlo stretch, aenva dangerous territory. but he did it. making every station on time. With but a moment's rest on reaching the final post, he took the return pouch and started back to his Initial atatlon. He made the round trip of 313 miles on scheduled time. A week later, Indians killed one of the station masters on Cody's route and stole all the horses. When Buffalo Bill arrived, there was no change of mount, and, pursued by redskins moat of the way, he had to rtde his panting horse at top speed 12 miles to the next station. "Over this route history waa both carried and made for nearly & year and a half, until the telegraph Tras finally stretched from coaat to coast on October 34, 1861, The Pony Ex press required nearly 000 horses, 190 stations. 300 men to care for the sta tions and 80 daring riders.
