the plains was started by & man
named Butterfield in 1868," said
Alexander Benham, of Montana, the
manager of the first~
press, to a writer ef the Chicago
Journal: oIt started at Little Rock,
Ark., and followed a southern route
through Kansa3, New Mexico, Ari-
zona and then to Lés Ajeles, Cal
About two years later, in. 1860, our
company was formed for the pur-
pose of carrying the mails to the
Pacifie coast. It was known as tlie
Central
PikeTs Peak Express company, Wi-
liam H. Russell, Alexander Majors
and a man named Wadell formed
the company; and the eontracts with
were made out in their names, I was
chosen manager, and had my office
in Denver.
~~The southern route run by But-
terfield did not have as much prorn-
inence as ours, which for years was
known as the ~pony expressT route,
It started in at St, Joseph, Mo.,
riinning through Nebraska to Fort
Kedrney, to Fort Laramié, Wyo.,
thence to Denver, to Salt Lake City,
to Placerville, Neév., and to Sacra-
mento, Cal. The whole trip, ex-
tending half across the continent,
was made in seventeen days, when
no accident befell, and -déciderts
were not so numerous a5 some peo-
A.| ple have imagined. From St. Jos-
eph to Denver the trip took seyen
days, and from~ Denver to Sacra-
mento was a journey of ten days:
That was. of course, by the regular
stage route, and little time was lost
in making it.
~oTo accommodate our business we
had about one hundred and fifty
.| coaches, most of which were kept
running all the time. To haul them
we had fifteen hundred -horses scaf-
tered alofigT thé fOute oSt. Jos-

had six or seven thousand. head of

. Money in the Business. |
Ostrich farmers who rushed into
the business & few years ago when it
was first boomed have ste that ft

stead of becoming mul
not paid expenses, others have made
a little money, but less than thé' -

would have brought them in almost | |
anv other business.
~The great mistaife was tne failure
-|to realize that the ostrich; "
still wild, could not successfully be
subjécted to ths same treatment add
conditions under which doinesticated
animals. and birds will thrive. In
confinement they multiply but slow-|
ty and produce feathers. of an in-
ferior grade, while their vicious in-
stincts ate still so strong that itis; "
often impossible to remove the
feathers withotit Killing ~the bird.
To maké the businéss the succeks
expected it is necessary to. gain more
experience in the
ment of the ostriches, and by a care-
ful course of breedifig to eradicate
or tame down the wild sature so
that they may be approached and | r
handled tn comparative safety. Os-|
