Discouraged? Well not exactly,
hit taen at times it would seem that
extraol binary efforts are necessary to
overcome the enervating outlook, and
especially when ate rthe best OF our
intentions and efforts, we don't seem
tn be any nearer to the desired goal
than we were when we first started,
and-oh, forget it-let us be more op'
timistic for awhile anyway, and things
will be running our way yet.
Now what do you know Of that!
Firts Sergt, Broadwell of Company 3,
received his discharge by purchase
the other day, and he left the post
in such q hurry that most OF the PEG.
ple did not know about it till few
days after he was gone, and the indi-
cations are that he went straight west
from here, in search Of his affinity,
whom he is reported to have seen on
especially when after the best OF our
post. Sergt. Whalen is now the top,
In Company B. Watch his spin.
Lieut.. Aristides Moreno, 23rd IN
fantry, who was on detached service
at this post for the past three months,
and who, having been relieved from
the different details, and having turn
ed over all the property and funds to
his successors, for which he was re-
sponsible, left this post few days
ago for his proper station, Fort Shell
ing, MINI. All shut up, you can't got
no milk here, drink water, and when
that gets polluted, why, there is plen-
ty of grass around here, and-oh new
er mind, somebody started a little
story, but we won't tell it here, at
least not just now, it's too good and
it will be necessary for you to go to
church a few more times and then
maybe We'll tell it to you.
Mr.. Anderson of Washington, D. c.,
the expert electrician in the quarter
masters department., visited this post
for the purpose of inspecting the cleo
trio lighting system now being instll.
ed at this place, and this being the
last post on his inspection tour, he
left direct for Washington.
Firts Lieut.. G. A. Herbst, the new
Quartermaster and commissary at
this post, is visiting in St. Paul for
a few days.
Capt. A. H. Martin left the post
on an extended leave of absence, and
First Lieut.. R. C. Kirkland also ex-
poets to go on leave in few days.
First Lieut.. J. M. Wheate, M. r. G. U.
S. A., expects to go on leave for three
months in the near future, and as
DR.. Wheate is we'll liked at the post,
many regret to see him go. DR..
Wheate intends to look after his in
terests in Idaho, where he has some
property.
Capt. Joseph Frazier, the new post
commander, too, expects to go on
leave in the next few days, and the
way things look now, there will be
only a few officers left on duty here,
and according to the present indica-
lions the post will be commanded,
temporarily by one Of the lieutenants,
but that will not stop the machinery
from working. Indeed, things will go
on just the same as usual.
Lieut.. G. r. K0ehler, is taking
charge Of the post garden, and as the
garden plot was we'll irrigated by the
recent flood, the ground is now in the
best of condition, so the indications
are that most everything will be rails
ed there, except milk, not even the
Carnatfon brand. !
Well now, there was something 60
ing on at the extreme southeastern
corner of the reservation the other |
n ght, and some of the most dire sus- |
pfcfons were directed in that direc- |
ton, and at dusk the crowd began to !
gather around that particular spot |
and some were whispering that Mes !

trust" naturally many were anxious |
possibly stand for; the report how
ever proved to be grOundless; true, !
some quantity of butter-milk was had
for sample, but as the prospective
share holders were quite numerous,
the small quantity of butter-milk,
which by the way, was of excellent
quality, did not last very long, and
once the sample was gone, the meet
ing was adjourned sine die, without !
at any tangible agreement,
and so the milk question is still open
to all corners.
And now the crucial moment is ap.
the paymaster is to be
here next Saturday, and as this will |
be the first payday for the new gar
rison here many are naturally anxious
to see how the new troops will be
affected by the trying ordeal; the
