In those days of automobiles, motor cycles and horseless vehicles It may not be uninteresting to know that one of the early Inventions In this coun try to do away with animal motive power originated In Kansas City, Kan. Samuel Peppard was the genius who constructed a vehicle that carried him and three companions over the plains from Oskaloosa almost to Denver. And with such rapidity, too, that he not only passed all the white people Jour neying the same way, but easily dis tanced Indian pursuers, nnd won for his rig the unstinted admiration of the red men. It was during the excitement follow ing the discovery of gold In Colorado. A great many people had set out for this El Dorado, and long wagon trains were to be seen every day moving across tho plains. Mr. Peppard was anxious to go, but there was one groat difficulty In the way he .didn't have the money to buy horses and wagon. So he sat down and thought It all over, and then, as a result, no gave out that he was going to build a wagon wdth a sail, which he thought would make the trip in about as good time as any prairie schooner that was floating around tho wild and wooly West. It was made of rough lumber and shaped like a skiff. It was eight feet long from prow to stern and three feet across that amldshlp, and two feet deep. The bod was placed on a run ning gear with axles six feet apart, the wheels all the same size and about as largo as the front wheels of a buggy. A ten.-foot mast was fastened to tlie front axle and came up through the bottom of the wagon box, and to this two sails wero rigged, the larger 11 by S feet, the other 7 by S. They were both to be worked by a rope through a pulley at the top of the mast. If the wind was high, the smaller was to be used, and if it was low the larger was to be employed. The wagon had a brake and a rudder for steering. The hounds, Instead of having a tongue attached, came up over the top of the bed and were welded together. A bar was fastened here and extended back ward three feet. Theie was a seat placed at the end of the bar for the captain, and he steered by pushing the bar to the right or the left. The craft rigged out weighed 330 pounds, and carried a crew of four men and a cargo of u00 pounds, the camping outfit and provisions serving as ballast. Hefore Jlr. Peppard started on his overland voyage he made a trial one mile south of Oskaloosa, on the pres ent site of the Jefferson county fair grounds. There is a level stretch of several miles, and a good stiff breeze was on. When the wind struck the large sail the craft stuck Its nose down to the ground and came near capsiz ing. Peppard slacked sail und set out ag.iln with the large sheet reefed and the smaller one full against the wind, and away It whizzed. It went so fast, in fact, that the boxing in the wheels ni.-ait.-ii. jiien wnen u went over a little knoll, It leaped about thirty feet Into tho air and came down with a crash. His vessel wa3 a wreck, but Mr. Peppard was not discouraged. Ho mado new spindles, lepalred the dam age, und in a few days ho and three companies were ready to start. Profit Ing by his Hist experience, Mr. Pep pard chose a day to start when the wind was blowing only about ten knots an hour. Tho first day they went fifty miles. Their route lay northwest, through Kansas and across the southern part of Nebraska, until they struck the South Platte ilver, and from there they went toward Den ver. "Our best time was two miles In four minutes," said Mr. Peppard In describing the Incidents of the Jour ney. "We could not run faster than that rate, as the boxing would have heated. One day we went fifty miles In three hours, und In doing so passed 623 teams." "I would rather have my advertisement in one paper reaching the home, than in forty sold on the street." Marshall Field.
