 In October 1861 the lines of the First Transcontinental Telegraph met in Salt Lake City, making the Pony Express obsolete, and bringing news to the Territory almost instantly.The "News" extras, now sometimes called telegraphic dispatches, were printed with even more frequency.In March 1862 the "News" and its staff moved from the Council House to the Deseret Store, and in 1864 a steam-powered printing press arrived; it was placed in the basement the building.
