With the discovery of gold tn Colorado in 1859 the prairie schooner lines spred out, following up the various river bottoms toward the Rockies. However, owing to Indian depredations, moat of the travel, even from Independence to Denver, went by way of Fort Kearnev and Juleshurg, on the Platte, where military poets and the soldiery afforded sanctuary and protection. In 1865 the freighting out of Atchison required 4917 wagona 6164 mules, 27,685 oxen and L266 men, according to Root and The largest freighting firm on ConneUey. the plains was Russell, Majors A Waddell, this firm at one time owning and operating 6260 wagons and 75,000 oxen. This would make a train forty miles in length. if hitched and joked together in freighting style. (All 4 JUNE 25, 1922..

The first rendezvous established in the Rocky mountains a century ago were reached only on foot or by pack horse routes; and subsequently when trading posts or forts were established the peltries and the supplies for which they were exchanged were also transported by pack outfits for some time. Just when the first wagons appeared on many of oven the more Important travel routes is largely conjectural, though, aside from the crude, clumsy carts used by the Spanish in the old southwest, the more daring and adventurous prairie schooners evidently sailed the uncharted seas of western soil almost a full hundred years ago. Oreenhow, the historian, records that in 1828 many heavily laden wagons made the Journey between the Missouri river and Fort Ashley (now Provo, Utah). These wagons, or carts of the fur trappers as they may have been, traveled by way of a Wasatch mountain canyon, the South pass in Wyoming, and thence down the Sweetwater and the Platte river routes. Cannon Hauled to Fort Ashley. In 1827, two years after Fort Ashley was established by. a large number of trappers hailing from the Missouri river, cannon on wheels that is, a a ball was gun discharging a transported to the fort in someor manner, means of a cart wagon. probably by Bancroft, the historian, states that loaded wagons reached Wind river, Wyo., in 1829, and Washington Irving states that Captain Bonneville took twenty wagons through South pass In 1832. The Whitman party, in 18S6, convoyed by a caravan of the American Fur company from Council Bluffs, had nineteen carts and three wagons ss far as Fort Laramie, Wyoming, and from there one cart end one wagon were taken through South pass to Fort Hall (Pocatello, Idaho), Where the wagon, much dilapidated from upsets, was converted into a cart and taken on to FVct Boise, and later to Oregon. In 1811 a party under General Palmer followed this trail, using wagons, according to Coutamt, the Wyoming historian. In 1842 Elijah White and 125 persons went to Oregon overland, taking eighteen wagons a part of the large Pennsylvania way, but none beyond Fort Hall, it la etated. A much greater number of people, with horses, cattle and other stock, followed In 1813 over the Oregon trail, under Whitman, having 129 wagona all of which reached the Willamette valley, establishing the through road from six-pou- six-pou- GUNNISON "Vs -- GUNNISON, June 24 Mrs. Ed Jensen entertained Wednesday In celebration of her birthday anniversary.

Fremont followed, visiting Great Sait Lake on the way. Thenceforth the Oregon-GreSalt Lake trail began to be worn by the ceaseless stream of travel, the Oregon emigrants alone numbering 1475 in 1844, SOoO in 1845, 1600 in 1846 and 4500 in 1847, in addition to a number of parties which left the main trail at various places between Fort Bridger, Wyoming, and the Snake River valley in southern Idaho. The F.rst dragoons under Colonel Stephen W. Kearney In 1845 went through South pass to the Green 'River valley in Wyoming to protect the increasing travel from hostile Indians. Five companies bound for Oregon that year had 250 wagons, according to Whitney, the Utah historian. at Many Use Cutoff to California. Eight hundred or 900 emigrants to California used the Great Salt Lake trail In 1846, the last company that year being Donner-Ree- d the party of eighty-seve- n men. women and children, thirty-nin- e of whom perished In the beautiful but cruel Sierras that winter. While some of the California emigrants had left the Oregon trail in the lower Snake River valley, others left it at Soda Springs, on the Bear river, and still others used the Hastings cutoff, by way of what is now Evanston, Echo and Weber canyons, and thence around the south end of Great Salt lake. The Don-nparty took still another cutoff, from Weber canyon, through East canyon over Big and Little mountains, and thence into the Salt Lake valley through Emigration canyon. The treaty with Great Britain concerning Oregon territory was ratified in the summer of 1846, and a flood of Or eg on California publicity over the eastern states caused a great exodus in 1847. so that, according to Cout&nt, the Indians were convinced that the whites were as numerous as the leaves In the forest. At Independence Rock, Wyoming, on July 4, 1847, a thousand Oregon and California etn grants held a great patriotic celebration. er -- I Mormon Pioneers on the Way. July there, the Mormors spending that day at the Greenriliver ferry. Their Journey thereafter was identical with the route taken the previous summer by the Donner-P.ee- d party into the Salt Lake valley. The summer of 1S48 was a still busier season on the Overland route, horses and muies being in much greater use on the wagons because of their better speed over the slow, swaying ox teams But In 1849 the magnet of California gold drew its tens of thousands of emigrants over the Oregon-GreSalt trails. s' Between May and October the crossing Wyoming numbered, "some 30,000, others 100,000.'" The thousands of wagons and tens of thousands of animals that pwssed up the Platte and Sweetwater trails furrowed many parallel trendies In the soil and over the rocks. Manyjplaces where the bar sandstones formed the roadbed, and hills or streams confined the way to narrow limits, the paths were worn bv hoofs and wheels until the axies of the wagons dragged on the rocks, necessitating the making of newr trails. again and again, there being several paratel trenches so cut In the stone, hub deep, in different places. More than 1500 prairie schooners were ferried across the Missouri river" at fit. Joseph alone in the space of six weeks in 1849. and at the .few other Independence and Council Bluffs no fewer than 27,000 persons and nearly 40,000 oxen and mules were ferried across the river, according to Frank A. Root and William E. Connelley, the stage coach historians, in the overland stage to California. The emigration in 1850. 1861 and 1852 la given, for each at nearly jear, at- - least one-ha100,000, of which left the Missouri river at St. Joseph. Trading posts in the west became villages, and theie sprang up military posts, ferries and additional trading posts along the travel routes, and then came the need for an official mall service and a recognised, reeponsAde system of freighting. The flow of both freight and emigration Increased with the years and with the lure of the far west, hence the flocks, bonds and strings of coversd wagons, like great white sheep, trailed and swarmed across the plains and flowed through the mountain passes in ceaseless strings, summer after summer. As the settlements grew in Utah, California and Oregon the (mail and freighting lines became more frequent, mors regular and more essential, and immense sums of money came to be invested in these enterprises, and thousands of men, animals and wagons were employed.
