 Their need for a newspaper, one not published by the LDS Church, was satisfied with "Kirk Anderson's Valley Tan", the area's second newspaper (and first competitor to the "News"); published November 6, 1858.During the 1850s through 1860s, numerous articles in the "News" were printed in the Deseret Alphabet.The coming of the Pony Express to Utah in 1860 would bring changes to the paper, allowing news from the East to arrive to the Territory much faster.
