The POsTs remarks concerning
the Indian Block house at Kreamer

sion on the question of preserving
that colonial relic. The Posi- has
been cordially commended for the
bold stand it has taken for the pre-
servation of this land mark. All
agree that something should bedoDe'
There is some dispute as to what this
Block house should be called. That
can easily be settled. Snyder Coun-
ty's Indian Forts representative,
Jay G. Weiser, called this trophy,
"Hendricss' Block House" Ex-
ceptions have been taken to Mr.
Weiser's name. The name is OF
small moment. If the Hendricks
erected it, it is properly named, if II
was erected by the Schoch's, it SHOULD
properly becalled the "Schoch Block
House." The name is of small mo-
ment now. What is most needed il

to buy 1t and preserve it, they viii
be gong "a great ways in establish
ing claim to the name in the alb

He has captured Pei-Ta-Chu, in China,
and is leading the American and Brit
fsh forces against San-Hai-Tien, with
instructions to capture and destroy the
arsenal there. All reports. coming from
China speak in highest praise Of the ce-
lerity with which he has carried out his
orders. In the civil war General Will
son rendered his country great service
which eliminated in the capture Of
jefferson Davis. president OF the Con-
federacy. His bold dash into Porto

the manner In which he disposed OF
the Spaniards and reassured the Porto

OF the war. He won fresh laurels in
Cuba by his administration as military
governor Of the Province of Matanzas.
and TOW he crowns his life work by
most successful operations in China,
leading large forces Of American and
British soldiers against the enemy and
destroying their defenses.
A dieratch from Pelin, dated Sep
tcm5cr III. says General James II. VIII
son. the American commander, "tooh
