    First Message Across the Continent.

    The death of Jeptha H. Wade in Cleveland, Ohio, a few days ago serves to recall to the minds of old Californians vivid recollections of early times in this State. Mr. Wade engineered the project of building the overland telegraph line from San Francisco to the East, and his ability and energy carried the scheme to a successful completion. Mr. Wade was seventy-nine years of age at the time of his death, and, according to the best sources of information, was a native of Ohio.

His personality, therefore, is familiar only to a few residents of this section at he present time.
