San Diego, Calif. The first transcontinental mail service is 80 years old this year. James BircH inaugurated his Great Southern Overland" three years before toe Wells Fargo Pony Express came into existence. Known to pioneers as the "Jackass Mail," toe line operated from San Diego to San Antonio, Texas, and then eastward to the Atlantic seaboard. The southern mail route ran across San Diego county to Fort Yuma on toe California side of the Colorado river. It went through Tucson, Ariz., to El Paso, Texas, and on to San Antonio, Texas, for a total distance of 1,500 miles. By Stage and Rail. There connections were made by rail, stage and steamer to eastern points. Often compared in historical importance with victories of the army in the war with Mexico a decade before, Birchs mail line is credited with aiding in preserving toe West for the United States. As an investment, toq , "Great Southern. Overland was no shoestring venture. Its financial report listed assets at more than $500,000. The line owned "1,000 good stage horses, valued at $275,000; 148 .old stage horses, $14,800 ; 41 Spanish horses, $1,140; 127 mules, $19,050, and 63 coaches, $44,100. Coaches and wagons, as well as saddle ponies, were used in carrying mail and passengers over the route and when inclement weather bogged down toe roads, so horse or mule drawn vehicles came to an and sometimes impasse, riders passengers mounted mule or horse and jogged over the mountains on a saddle route shortcut. Dogged by Indians. Yuma Indians and bandits dogged the trail of many intrepid mail carriers, and often, after crossing 100 miles of desert east of San Diego, toe pioneers would find their charted water holes dried up or filled with sand. Alvin F. Harlow's accounts in "Old Waybills reveal that "on the trail west of the Rio Grande wheels had never rolled before. The Apaches gave trouble whenever they felt .in the mood, which was of the time . . . Mail, packages and provisions were taken over (toe Rio.Grande) in boats, and finally toe forewheels of the stage were set in one skiff, the hind wheels in another, and this wobbly contrivance was paddled and pulled across the raging stream. . five-sixt- hs Origin of Pointer in Doubt The origin of the pointer is not clear. The theory that it originally came from Spain has been shattered in recent years. It is generally conceded that pointers came into use in the British Isles and on the continent of Europe about the same time. However, to the English goes toe credit for developing the English pointer. As for the pointers lineage, there isnt much doubt that several breeds have helped make the English pointer as we have him, I - FLORAL FAMED MAIL ROUTE . ot EXPERT Shoe Repairing Quick Courteous Service PROGRESS SHOE REBUILDERS 1059 East 21st So.
