men with success Immediately upon
their arrival they began to build their
log huts and form the fort illustrated.
The weather was extremely cold, the
thermometer ranging. from 20 to 40 be-
low every day, 60 below being the record
on January LIST. and it was not until after
the first of January that the buildings
were completed so that all the soldiers
were sheltered. The labor and hard
ships involved in the erection of these
dwellings and the stockade by about 300
men in the cold northern winter may be
imagined. Here again they were disap-
pointed in not finding supplies of forage
for their animals. The quartermaster
went to Fort Garry winnipeg and with
the assistance of some of the citizens
there secured all that was possible to
buy, but the amount was very deficient
and only the working teams and a few
of the best cavalry horses could be al
lowed grain, and that in small quantity.
Quoting from our historian: "Prior to
this time but little attention had been
given by the inhabitants of this country
to agriculture. A very large majority
lived by hunting and trapping. The
ordinary products, such as potatoes, on.
ions, cabbage and other vegetables were
produced in very limited quantities; in
fact, the greater portion of the people
raised nothing at all. A number of the
soldiers were in the hospital afflicted
with scurvy. DR.. Arlington, the sur.
geon, urgently recommended the use oil
vegetables, especially onions, potatoes
cabbage. Diligent efforts were made te
purchase two hundred or more bushel.
of potatoes, fifty bushels of onions and 6
large quantity of cabbage. The entire
country was canvassed with the result
of 10 bushels of potatoes at $500 pc
bushel and Z bushels of onions at $50
|per bushe1 and not cabbage to be hae
at any price.

Of old Fort Marion, St. Augustine,
for years. and who has piloted so
many thousands through the dun

Sen Francisco Examiner of recent

thu gallant old warrior:
"The oldest enlisted man in point
Of service in the United States army
was retired yesterda:,. lie is Ord
nance Sergeant George NJ. Brown,
and for over forty years he has been
In the service of his country.
Sergeant Brown was born in JEFF
fsrson county, N. Y. fifty-nine gears
ago. On April q, 1861, he enlisted
in the Thirty-6fth New York volun-
tsers, since which enlistment he has
had m excellent and unbroken rec
ord. He was in most of the battles
Of the virginia campaign during
the Civil War, and at the close of
Chat campaign was transferred to
the Sixteenth United States Infantry.
During the Civil War he was
wounded in action and was captured
and imprisoned in Libby prison.
AT the time of the Spanish war
Ae was acknowledgement at Fort
Marion, st. Augustine, Fla, and he
also served IN the Philippines, hav-
ing been in Mindanao last year.
"On his return from the Philip
pines he was retired, and will re-
ceive retired pay, which is three
fourths of the pay of his present
ssnk, extra pay Tor establishments in
cluded, and IN. allowance for sub
bistence. In spite Of the vicissi-
sudss Of service covering territory
nearly half around the world, Ser
sgeant Brown carries his age well and

He gives every indication that he
will enjoy his retired pay until a
ripe old age. He will leave shortly
