To say the Pony Express is to be restaged looks like a bad mlxup of language, since It was a horseback mall Service established on purpose to beat the anthe, stage. Just the same, blood of nouncement is one to stir the the West between the Mississippi and the Pacific.

Buffalo Bills Grave. Anyway, representatives of seven western states and of the Mark Twain jMemorlal association met the other day In Denver and organized the Pony lExpresa Memorial association.

After MaJ. Gordon W. Lillie (Pawnee BUI) had placed a wreath In fnemory of his old comrade, the visitors went on the great balcony of the museum and gazed long out over the historic ground of which a hint Is given In the accompanying photograph. Denver Is down on the plains, ten miles away. With field glasses the visitors could see into Wyoming, Kansas and Nebraska. Almost under foot seemed Julesburg, where Buffalo BUI did his first riding, and the Union Pacific, where in 18 months, 1867-- he killed 4,350 buffalo with Lucretla Borgia for the raUroad builders.

The Pony Express riders did some wonderful riding, but, as a matter of fact the record performance In that horseage and country of hard-rldln-g men It Is probably the record of aU history was the ride of F. X. Aubrey In 1851 from the plaza of Santa Fe, N. M., to the public square of Independence, Mo, a distance of about 800 miles across a sandy desert Infested by hoe-fil- e Indians in five days and 19 hours. Aubrey rode alone, kiUed several of his best horses, was never off a fast gaUop during the whole ride, fell fainting from his saddle, lay In a stupor for 48 hours, and waked up none the worse, with a wager of $1,000 won. Some Record Rides. Buffalo Bill was the Boy Wonder of the Pony Express. He began in April, 1860, at the age of fourteen. He first rode 45 miles out of Julesburg, with the stations 15 miles apart and three changes of horses. After two months he was assigned to a run between Red Buttes on the North Platte to the Three Crossings of the Sweetwater a bad Indian country. One day he galloped Into Three Crossings, his home station, and found that his relief had been killed. So he rode on to Rocky Ridge, 85 miles away, and made the round trip of 322 miles without a mishap and on time a record performance. Shortly afterward the Indians killed so many riders and drove off so many ponies that the Pony Express had to be discontinued while Wild Bill Hlckok (who once single-handekilled ten desperadoes), young Cody and forty men chased the Indians four days ride into the hills and returned with their own horses and 100 Indian ponies and several scalps. Robert (Pony Bob) Haslam at the time of the Piute war in Nevada (November of 1860) made an emergency ride of 380 miles of desert route, with ohe rest of nine hours, within four hours of schedule time. Then after a rest of 90 minutes, he went on to cover his own route. , James Moore had a run of 140 miles across western Nebraska. On one run he made the distance in 11 hours, and without rest went back In the same time 280 miles In 22 hours. The Pony Express deserves Immortality as an object lesson of American daring, pluck, endurance and efficiency. The advertisement of Russell, Majors and Waddell, the famous stage nlftl freighting firm, carried the heading: To San Francisco In Eight Days 6y the Central Overland California add Pikes Peak Express. This was explained to mean that telegrams, carried by Pony Express between St. Joseph and PlacervIUe, would reach the coast In eight days and that letters would be carried in ten days between St. Joseph and San Francisco. The Missouri city was the rail-en- d farthest west There d . dians came from Asia, the South Sea Islands, or merely moved from Mexico or some other part of this continent The remains of the dog will be carefully studied to discover its canine affiliations. One belief Is that the Pueblos, the Mayas, Aztees and other Indians who practiced architecture and showed much development In civilization are sprung from emigrants from Asia, who sailed across the Pacific, In comparatively recent times. Some anthropologists believe that the statues found among the Maya relics are Buddhas, was boat service between Sacramento and San Francisco. Salt Lake was the only city between the Sierras and the Missouri. . American Urge for 8peed. The Pony Express route was 1,966 miles. The first express out of St. Joseph made the trip in ten- days. Later the time was reduced to an av erage of nine days. The news of Fort Sumter was carried In eight days and 14 hours. Buchanans last message was rushed across In seven days and 19 hours. Lincoln's Inaugural address placed the record at seven days and 17 hours. . The riders were young, light and picked men of character under solemn pledge of good behavior. Each carried revolver and bowle knife. The letters were on tissue paper, the two mail pouches never weighed over 20 pounds, and the postage was $5 a letter In advance. The riders were paid about $125 a month. The horses were usuald California mustangs, ly many of them unbroken. The Pony Express riders rode 650,-00-0 miles and lost one malL The service terminated with the completion of the transcontinental telegraph line October 24, 1861.

There Is no room here to explain In detail. n One factor, of course, was the American urge for speed. The discovery of gold In 1848 peopled California almost over night By 1860 there were two great bodies of Americans separated by 2,000 miles. Most of the mall went by way of Panama, twenty-tw- o days from New York to San Francisco. A railroad was the hunger, the prayer, the hope of every settler west of the Missouri. Breaking Trail for Rail. The prewar struggle between the North and South was the big factor.

Then came the Civil war, with the North In control of congress. The mall service was transferred to the Central Route. Then came the railroad. So the why and wherefore of the was largely to Pony Express of 1860-6break the trail over the Central Route for the railroad of 1870. half-bree- well-know- Salt Lake City Firms - printing it herewith: THE SHIP THAT NEVER RETURNED 1. a summers eve as the waves were rippled By a soft and gentle breeze.
