DRIGGS (President ,Americap Pioneer , Trails Association) Stirring history halepeated itself in an unusual way, in the memorialization of the Pony Stage route, all but achieved across western' Utah. Eighty-onyears ago three frontiersmen.of this state, Major Howard Egan, Enos Stookey and George W. Boyd, acting for the great frefghting firm of Russell,: Majors and Waddell, selected sta.,' lion sites for the Pony Express line over the desort. One main , reason Egan, 'Stookey and Boyd were chosen was that they had the confidence of the Indians. Today through the earnest, directive work of a son of one of those frontiersmen, acting,t,-for the Utah Pioneer Trails and Landmarks Association, all hut two of the fading station sites from Faust to lhapah have been reclaimed and marked with impressive monuments of stone and At the two remaining bronze. "story spots," (Boyd and ,Oyer-lanCanyon), the work of restoring the actual stations will soon he under way. This challenging achleYement in the conservation of our historical resources is the result of of fine various cooperation , - P - , is S e re-ru- ' - , I p oi , - , - ,- , , , " " ... .,:... :,..,:,,...

Responding actively to the call of the Oregon Trail Memorial Association, some years ago to save our highways of history, the Utah Pioneer Trails Association, with the good help of various communities, erected and dedicated monuments on the Pony Express line at Henefer, Mountain Dell, Salt Lake, Point of the Mountain, Camp Williams, Camp Floyd, Faust and lhapah. One diffficult part of the trail a tough one for the Pony Rid. ers and stage drivers in earlier daysremained. Only scattered ranchers and miners inhabit the - hundred mile stretch. How to carry through the memorializa- tion plan there was a puzzling Leaders of National problem. Service of our Interior - Grazing Department with the boys of the OCC camps under the stimulating direction 4)f Dr. Stookey have helped to work out a splendid solution. TAKE FIRST STEP A first step towards reclaiming the trail across the desert was made seven years ago when a scouting troup was taken by George W. Middleton, Walter M. Stookey, John D. Giles and How-- ard R. Driggs out to the. Deep Creek country. There with the good help of Mr. and Mrs. John U. Hicks, to whom the Utah desert is an open book, the movement was launched to build a Monument on the site of the old lbapah home station. Ranch folk and miners of that region joined heartily in the enterprise and the memorial was soon dedicated with real western spirit. e Nineteen Thirty-fiv- e brought the Diamond Jubilee of the Pony a of that Expresswith fast mail from Sacramento to Saint Joseph. Missouri. No part of that nearly mile was enacted with more fidelity than was the stretch across Utah. Out on the desert with clock-likprecision, the young riders made their runs between the actual 'old station sites. One lad of fifteen did his clip of approximately twelve miles in forty-fivminutes. Acas an ofcompanying this H. ficial party were William Jackson and Major Arthur W. Proctor and Dr. W. M. Stookey. Accelerated interest in reclaiming the historic trail came with this commemoration. , ' .,.. , " ::' " ' d I - ,, .....,:.:: '' '' , ' e .' eserei News, Salt Lake City, Utah" ',. e , , - - -.. .. .. .. ...........,.. , '' :' :: ., ..., ss-Overland 11'4 ' -- , t Expre- , ' ,,, Assoelation 'lead Relates history "Of Alovèment ' " :" ' , , '' ..,,,,..,,,",:,,,...:.-,,,- ,) BY . ,,,,,.....,,,.:...:..,...,.,,,,,.,.0..,,..,::.,:-,,,.::-:.,-,,,,,,;,,:-..,,:;,,,::::,:;,,,,,:;,:,:- Is ,Recotinted -- , ., 1-- 4 , - , .
