The Saint Paul globe., 1898-10-02

Plans for the additions to be made
to the company buildings at Fort
Smelling will be submitted to Gen.
Bacon, of the department of the Da-
kotas, by Capt. Gerlach, quartermas-
ter at Fort Smelling, tomorrow morn
ing.
An additional 81" will be built on the
rear of each Of the four company build
ingS at the fort, which will be utilized
as company mesSes, and the large area
in the center of each building will ac-
oommodate the additional soldiers who
may be recruited to place the reg
fment on a war basis.
Gen. Bacon Will review the plans and
specifications and forward them to
Washington with the request that ar
rangements for the carrying out of the
plans be made before snow flies.
This plan will give adequate room
for the accommodation of a full reg
iment Of infantry, and will doubtless
be effected before the four additional
companies are recruited at the fort.

cruiting office in the headquarters
building, and it is expected that sew
