In 1858 when the French evacuated
Fort Du Quesne, the garrison foated
down the Ohio to Fort Massac and
rebuilt the old fort under the direction
OF young engineer named Massac.
In 1894 George Washington ordered
the fort rebuilt on more permanent
plans, and 1t was occupied regularly
by a United States garrison until
after the close of the war of 1872. 1t
is somewhat interesting to note that

of this garrison.

Up TO this time only very few labor

usual number of thoroughbred hoboes,
but they will not work in the harvest
fields or elsewhere, refusing all offers
from farmers. The situation is a seri-
Gus one, and unless the railroads or

and help get harvesters into the state,
there will be great difficulty IN caring

The officials OF the Milwaukee Rail-

statistics OF the creamery business
which has developed along their lines
in the Western states. This company
has systematically promoted the dairy
and creamery business along its lines.
Several years ago, foreseeing the de-
velopment of the dairy interests OF the
West, this road made the experiment
of putting on a regular refrigerator car
service at Western stations. At first
the shipments were light, but for the
last year the cars have been filed with
the dairy products OF the West. IL 10
interesting TO note that there are l166
creameries and dairy establishments
along the lines of the Milwaukee In
the Western States. OF this number,
there are 50 in South Dakota, out OF
1873 in the state. AS there are 1851
miles Of railway in South Dakota, and
as the Milwaukee road has 1.122 miles,
Il will be seen that this road, by Its
liberal policy, has secured much more
than its share of the dairy business OF
the state.

The fort occupied a commanding

four acres of graveled walks are made
in exact angles, and are beautifully
graveled with pebbles from the river.
