THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: MAY 23, 1909. 15 MEMORIES OF PIONEER LIFE Historical Link in the Journalism of Omaha and Denver. NOTED BOOSTER OF TWO CITIES lvBper t lp In Omaha Trail, ported to lfvf Fifty Years Ago BaitnrM Lite of Omaha and Coanell Bluffs. i 1 The changei wrought In the Imperial wost In a iiulf century are fittingly epito mized In tho Golden Jubilee number of the Rocky Mountain 'ewl of Denver. ls suud April, 23d ult. One hundred and six. pages of the paper's regular sice are filled with pictorial, statlntlcal and descriptive matter appropriate to the occasion. Por traits of the men whose energy and ability forced reluctant Nature to open the granite doors of Its storehouse of wealth and set In motion the forces which transformed the Intermountain region from a forbidding wilderness Into a group of prosperous states. What these men have wrought In tho industries, commerce, agriculture, as well as in the educational, religious and social factors of civilised life, are told In picture, prose and poetry. On the title page, In clouds of golden and rainbow colors, stands the figure of the founder of the News, tho Journalistic pioneer of Colorado, William Newton Byers, looking from an eminence on the Denver of today with its background at snow-topped moun tains. Links In Pioneer Joaraallam. The anniversary so impressively signal ized by the Rocky Mountain News reveals tho oft-forgotten link binding the pioneer journalism of Omaha and Denver, and the part Omaha pioneers played In the de velopment of the Intermountain region. It reveals the confident hopes and fearless optimism of the empire builders, and baits for a moment the moving picture of Time to prove that the prophecies of ' are the realities of today. William Newton Byers was among the first comers to Omaha, reaching here late In 18G4 or early in 1855. The former year is probably the correct one, for he was a member of the first territorial legislature which convened Irf Omaha January 15, 1KB. A native of Ohio, born February 22, 1831, ho crossed the plains to Oregon with a United States surveying party at the age of 21, and explored tho gold fields of California in 1853. 'Returning to the states by the Panama route, he remained In Iowa for a year and drifted with the pro cession to Omaha. Here his destiny was shaped. In Denver It was rounded out In rich abundance, and closed in 1903. Actively In Omaha Affaire. . Mr. Byers took an active part In tho public affairs of the territory of Nebraska and the building of the city of Omaha during their formative periods. Besides his membership In the first territorial leg islature, in which he fought the first effort to move the capital from Omaha, he was one of the members of the first city council organized March 6, 1867, and was chairman of the committee which deeded "Washington Square" to Douglas county for the erection thereon of a court house and Jail. "Washington Square" was bounded by Douglas, Farnam, Fifteenth and Sixteenth streets. All but the two lots on which the Piixton block now stands were sold and the proceeds used In the construction of the old county building which occupied that corner until 1S83. Lore of the Gold Mines. Glowing reports of the wealth of the Cherry Creek diggings and the stampede to the foothills of the Rockies drew heavily on Omaha's scant population dur ing the winter of 1S58-9. Among the hardy pioneers there was precious little fear of winter storms on the plains. The lure of business and possible fortune over shadowed the risks of the elements or hostile redskins. Byers and his associates had the fearless spirit of the argonauts of a decado before, and did not hesitate to face the perils of a 600 mile trip across the plains late In March, 1869. Packing their tools of trade, their prlntshop, several "forms" of ready set type, both news and ads, and the usual necessaries of life in their wagons, they moved out toward the setting sun with the steady, measured pace that marked the Overlund limlteds In the days of the ox-teams. The newspaper outfit reached what la now Denver about the 20th pf April and three days later tho Rocky Mountaiu News made Its appear ance, a full-fledged six-column folio, carry ing ten columns of Omaha and Council Bluffs advertising, a column bf Denver city ads, some local news and columns of ponderous miscellany. Omaha to the Fore, Excepting the title and a few local "ads" and announcements the first isuuu looked like a transplanted Omaha paper of that pt rlod. O.i aha and C.uncll B.ufia rm relents provided the patronage for that number at least, and the needful padding for many of the numbers that followed, for In the summer of I860 an Omaha freighter counted only seven houses on the present site of Denver. But there were acres of tents on both sides of Cherry creek. Undoubtedly must of the type was set In Omaha and packed overland to Denver. The inquiry naturally suggests ltsolf, Did the material belong to some moribund Omaha paper? Byers was not actively connected with Omaha newspaper life, but three of bis assistants Gilbert C. Monnell. Thomas Gibson and Iladley D. Johnson, were mixed up In the business. Johnson launched the Omaha' Democrat in 18, but It died young. Monnell waa Identified with the Omaha Re publican, started In the sama year, but dis rupted by factional quarrels. There was therefore a supply of newspaper junk around here, out of which it is likely the material for the first Rocky Mountain News was dug. Gibson was associated with Byers In the publication of the News and Johnson emigrated about the same time, for he was manager of a ranch at "Call Tornia Gulch" in 1M0. Orlcln of the Westward Move.

VtW TORS. origin of the move and the difficulties en countered on the overland trip: In 1S8 Byers had heard the reports from the Pike's Peak country and had decided to set out for the new Eldorado at once, but was prevented by an accidental gun shot wound that almost proved fatal. In the meantime, being familiar with the Platte river route to the west and having encountered several men who had returned from Pike's Peak, In the autumn of 1S58 he prepared and published bis "Pike's Peak Guide." One day In the winter of 1858 someone who entered Byers' office In Omaha, sug gested that It would be a good Idea to take a printing press to the new country and print the news of the discoveries at the point where the discoveries 'were made. Byers waa Instructed to purchase the press and the necessary material. Although ho was wholly Inexperienced as a news paper editor and publisher, Byers re solved to Join In the enterprise. He went to the town of Bellevue, nine miles south of Omaha, and at that time larger than Omaha, and there bought a printing press. Carting It to Omaha, he made a test of It and found that It worked satisfactorily. Some of the type was set up and two pages were printed. Everything was In shape so that a paper could be printed without difficulty when the proprietors bad selected a settlement In which to pub lish their paper. Members of the Party. Associated with Byers In the enterprise was Thomas Gibson. They were accom panied by John I Dalley, an experienced practical printer, who afterward became one of the proprietors. Dr. George C. Monell of Omaha had an Interest In the venture, but be disposed of It before tho party arrived In Denver. He returned to Omaha, while all the others proceeded to ward the goal of their ambition. Thomas Gibson, the active partner of Byers, was from Fontanelle, Neb. .Alt of those who accompanied the outfit to Den ver were W. N, Byers, Thomas Gibson, John I Dalley, Robert L. Sumner, Ed ward C. Sumner, I. Sansom, P. . W. Case, L. A. Curtice, James Crelghton and his brother, Harry Crelghton, Harry Gibson, II. E. Turner and "Pap" Hoyt. In an address delivered at a meeting of the Colorado pioneers In 1899 Byers gave the following account of the journey: We left Omaha on March 8, about the time the frost had begun coming out of the ground. We encountered a great many difficulties, but on the last day' of March we reached the banks of the Platte river, opposite Fort Kearney. 'I was wagon boss ant I used a little ingenuity In distributing my train along tho road, apprehending that my party might object to crossing the stream, which was then running high. If an opportunity to confer was given. So I got the first wagon Into the water before the drivers of the others had a chance to protest. I had learned never to camp on the near side of a stream. The others were very In dignant, but I pushed them all in suc cessfully without giving them a chance to compromise; whereupon each became still more opposed to the proceedings. Difficulties Encountered. 'The heaviest wagon got Into a sink hole of quicksand and we did not reach the other bank until dark. There was no road on the other side, but we managed to' get through the night. If we bad not crossed the river that evening we would have been, as matters turned out, delayed several days, for the next morning the river was full of floating lea that did not disappear for nearly a week. 'We located a camp at St. Vraln ao aa to give some of the men a chance to proa peot. I then went on In advance and reached here April 17, finding the people were a good deal more anxious about the arrival of the newspaper than had been reported. ( 'At the beginning of the second day I sent a messenger on horseback to hurry up the train, and two days later It arrived. One of the wagona stuck In Cherry creek at Blake street, so we did not get across until after nightfall. I Immediately drove over to the little office I had secured. Old . Uncle Dick Wooton had built a log cabin which contained a little attic, and this he had offered to me. There we sot up our press and began setting type. "We improvised a shelter under the roof to protect the press. This was a sort of tent. The clapboard roof of the building was covered with snow, which, as It melted, ran through upon us. Before the first Issue of the paper was made a little dodger was struck off for a man who had lost a horse and a dog. This was the first printing done In this territory. " Features of the First Kimbtr. The customary salutatory, without which no editor can be regarded a first degree member, heads the editorial page and breathes the spirit of the times. The words reach Into the depths of memory sounding a note familiar to the bald-heads of the profession, which deserve a later day encore: "With our hat In our band and our best bow wa this week make our first appear ance on the stage in the capacity of edi tor. "We makt our debut in the far west, where the snowy mountains look down upon us in the hottest summer day as well as In the winter's cold, here where a few months ago the wild beasts and the wilder Indians held undisputed pos sessionwhere now surges the advancing wave of Anglo-Saxon enterprise and civil isation, where soon we fondly hope will be erected a great and powerful state, another empire in the sisterhood of em pires. "Our course Is marked out, we will ad here to It with steadfast and fixed deter mination, to speak, to write and publish truth and nothing but the truth, let it work us weal or woe." It is worthy of passing notice that the Omaha of fifty years ago sat enthroned as lord high executioner of exaggerated news of the west, winnowing the wheat from the chaff and passed kernels with a pure truth label to the shifting procession of empire builders. Editor Byers evidently did some execution In that line with his blue pencil, for he adheres to the Judicial tone and the judicial caution in the declar ation: "The proprietor of this paper has, until within a month past, lived In Omaha, within 500 miles of the gold regions, and has bad abundant opportunity of Judging the truth or falsity of the testimony dally presented In regard to the gold mines. We think there ia more evidence of a reliable character of the richness and extent of these, mines, and obtained under far more favorable circumstances than was offered from . California. The geological structure la th same aa the gold regions of Cali fornia and men who are familiar with mining in California have examined these mines west of. Kansas and Nebraska, aa far as the season would admit, and pro nounce these of greater promise than any heretofore known." Business history and biography of Omaha and Council Bluffs fill considerable apace In the first number. Names familiar now and announcements of business house that have survived the upa and downs of half a century tell In large and small type the story of the pioneer years. Milton Hog era waa located in the Pioneer block, pre pared to outfit "10.000 emigrant for Cherry Creek and the gold regions." Enoa Lowe announced that the Steam Ferry Boat No. 1, dying between Council ninffs and Omaha, "has the cararlty to carry twelve wagons and teams at each trip, and can make from thirty to forty crossings In a day." J. R. Boyd. Omaha's distinguished cltlsen snd governor of Nebrsaks, was then located at Kearney, doing a wholesale and retail business In groceries, provisions, etc J. W. Paddork made a specialty of "miner" boots," at the old stand "on Famham street, opposite the Western Exchange bank, Omaha, N. T.," while J. J. and R. A. Brown handled dry goods, notions, hats, caps, boots snd shoes, groceries and pro visions, and a complete assortment of out fitting Roods being one If not the first depnrtment store In Omaha. Tootle & Jarkson. and Mngeath, Richards A Co., were conspicuous dry goods merchants, and Pundt & Koenlg Invited those In need of groceries to "look for the sign of the O. K. store." The noted drug house of Jos. K. Ish A Co., was located next to Megeath, Richards A Co.," and Dewltt C. Sutphen claimed to have the only candy factory west of the Missouri river, besides earning a "celebrated line of fine cut chewing snd smoking tobacco and cigars." John A. Horbich A Co.. and Porter A Bremen were steamboat agents, and Miller A Richardson, later publishers of the Omaha Herald, conducted the Herndon House, now the Union Pacific headquarters building. One of the unique professional cards Is that of "A. F. Peck, M. D., phy slclan and surgeon, Cache-a-T,a-Poudre, Nebraska, where he mny at all times be found when not professionally engaged In digging gold." Among the Council Bluffs announcements of fifty years aro are these familiar names: Officer A Pusey, bankers and dealers In gold dust, a line of business also conducted by Baldwin A Dodge. Casady A Test, Frank Street and A. Cochran combined the law and land office business, giving "par ticular attention to the location of land warrants In Iowa, Kansas and Nebraska." Two railroads, the Hannibal A St. Joe and the Rock Island, had the stralghtost and quickest, as well as the only routes to the gold regions of the west. Both were many miles from the Missouri their Intentions were good and they got mere ten years later. HOTEL MAIL BIG PROBLEM. SAYS MAN0F EXPERIENCE Chief Clerk Anderson of Rome Telia Steps Necessary to Prevent Wrong; Persona Getting; Letters. "Handling the mall Is rne of the most difficult problems the hotel man has to contend with," said Chief Clerk Anderson of the Rome hotel Saturday morning, "and the recent action of the postmaster general In providing rules for safeguarding hotel malls, based upon the bill prepared by President Miller of the Cincinnati Hotel Clerk's association la a step In the right direction. "The Omaha hotel men have already adopted the plan of requiring 'a reasonable identification of the party calling for his mall, and the Cincinnati bill corresponds with our Idea. The rule provides that the mall shall not do, handled by the guests or transients npr the address exposed to view. The receipt of mail under fictitious names Is discouraged,, and ail such mall Is returned to the postoffice. This neces sarily Involves us In controversies occa sionally with guests, but it la the only method of absolute protection. "The hotels are not to be used for the receipt of malls by persons who are not guests. In some of the larger hotels we have a regular mail clerk who la recog nised as an official of the postoffice de partment, and where the business of the hotel will not warrant jthe employment of a special mall clerk, the hotel clerks are constantly cautioned to exercise the ut most care In the delivery of mail. " It Is now impossible for a party to get any Information of mall addressed to others than himself In any of the Omaha hotels, connected with the local association." NEWS OF THE ARMY POSTS Improvements Are Still Going- On at the Omaha Quartermaster's Depot.

"Army dirigible No. 2." aa tho new airship built in the war balloon factory at Aldershot is at present named, received Its first trial the other day. It astonished all who saw It by the novel design of the gas envelope. Although but a model, the trials of which are Intended to serve the purpose of de ciding the lines upon which the British dirigibles are to be built, the balloon is almost as large as the Nulll Becundus, the government airship which came to disaster at the Crystal palace. The gas envelope, made of goldbeater's skin, is constructed In the shape of a sunfish. a sharp pointed noee swelling out Into an enormous head fully ninety feet around, and then tapering away to a tall which has three flukes, one on either side and the third on top. Instead of hanging from the familiar net work of cords, the car Is suspended from fine steel cables attached to a rib running all around the under part of the balloon. The car, with a pair of sledlike runners, mounted on strong springs underneath, is of very light construction, being a simple framework carrying the engines and seats for two men, the whole covered In canvas. It Is cannon sniped, tapering away be hind to a point, beyond which is fixed the canvas rudder, with a pair of small de flecting planes on either side to assist In bringing the aerostat down with a gentle glide. The balloon appeared to be about 100 feet long, and the car less than half that length. Kills Self at the Age of Ninety-Nine "Uncle Billy" Gray, Wearing Century Mark, Tires of Life and Drinks Poison.
