"In the plan for building new
house tor the President elsewhere than
ON the present siteit has been proposed
to utilize the present mansion for
Offices" writes Colonel Theodore a.
Bingham, Z. >. A., in urging the
adoption OF Mrs. Harrison plans
for enlargiug thehouse, in the Novem-
ber Ladies' Home Journal zone
plea therefore has been that the his
toric building should be left as it is,
This is certainly to be insisted on. But
it is said the mansion is too pure Il
piece of architecture to be marred by
additions. This, however, is spe-
cious argument, since the original de-
sign contemplated side additions, and
if the building in its present state were
used as offices it would be wrecked in
five or six years. Those who have no
experience with public buildings or
with this building in particular, have
no conception of the wear and tear on
Presidents office. 1t surpasses that
on any other Office in the country.
The present Executive Mansion was
lightly built, and is already expensive
to keep in proper repair. Its floor
beams are not strong enough to endure
Office use. Great difficulty has arisen
in the past with the few rooms now
used as the Presidents executive
offices. and great watchfulness has to
be constantly exercised. Several
times the floors have threatened to
break through. The stairs have al
ready broken down, one flight being
now supported by chain. Still, to
remodel for Office use only, the whole
interior of our historic Executive
Mansion, would be not only very
expensive matter, but would fail to
meet the requirements of the case, and
also, it is believed, the approval eof
the country at large

CHAPTER VI.

The quartermaster's depot at Gate
City was little more than big corral,
with a double row of low wooden sheds
for the storing of clothing. camp and
garrison equipage. There was black
smith and wagon repair shop, and a
brick Office building. Some cottage
quarters for the officer in charge and
his clerks, corral master. etc, stood
close at hand. while most Of the em-
ployes lived in town outside the gates.
y single-track spur connected the de-
pot with the main line Of the Union
Pacific. only 500 yards away, and the
command at Fort Emory, on the bluff
above the rapid stream, furnished,
much to its disgust, the necessary
guard. A much bigger plant" was in
contemplation near larger post and
town on the east side of the great di-
vide, and neither Fort Emory nor its
charge-the quartermaster's depot
was considered worth keeping in re-
pair, except such as could be accom-
plshed "by the labor OF troops" which
was why. when he wasn't fighting In
dians, the frontier soldier of that day
was mainly occupied in doing the odd
jobs of day laborer. without the rec
ompense of one. or his privilege Of quit
ting if he didn't like the job. That he
should know little OF drill and less OF
parade was, therefore, not to be won
