A PIONEER JOURNEY.
Uncle Ben Carter Writes Of Wagon
Journey to the Southwest.
Made in 1851.

We spent a day and a night in
this little city. | do not know
the number of inhabitants at
that time. The buildings were
made of sun dried brick, with
the roofs fiat, or nearly so, and
the work inside was very nice.
The governernment had two
buildings, each two stories in
height and with shingled roofs.
There was a fine spring in the
city which afforded water for
all the people and our cattle got
all they wanted. We camped
near this spring and our boss
bought a four acre field of wheat
and we let our five hundred cat
tie in to feed. 1t took them only
two hours to clean it up. For
this wheat our boss paid the sum
of fifty dollars. | was very
anxious to see how those Mex
leans lived and how they made
living, so visited one of their
gambling halls that night. The
hall was 70 or 80 feet long, fur
nished with two rowsof fine tables
extending the full length of the
building. Both men and women
were playing cards at most all
the tables. They had their gold
and silver in stacks a foot high
on the tables. | did not under
stand their game, but was inter.
ested in watching them take the
money in, two and three stacks
of gold at a time, perhaps a
thousand dcllars, in all my life, l
never saw so much money. The
women were finely dressed and
enjoyed the game as we'll as the
men. There were gold and silver
mines near, and at this time they
yielded well. West of this place
the valley was extensive and lev
ell as far as the eye could see,
but there was no sign of i'm
provement. | suppose some of
my readers would like to know
what became of that whiskey |
had saved. Well there was so
much excitement unloading, that
it was nearly forgotten, but
when | remembered about it, |
asked the boss and was told to
divide it among the boys, but to
let no one have too much. | did
as directed and in a short time
all the boys were singing, Home
Sweet Home"
The day after unloading our
wagons, we reloaded with mil
itary stores, clothing and pro-
visions, about 5000 pounds to the
wagon and started back, practi-
cally over the same route. The
first place of interest was a new
fort that was being built not far
from that great mound | have
already written about. They
had two barracks each so feet
ong, built of rough pine logs and
called this Fort Union" Two
or three companies of soldiers
were stationed here. They had
a fine supply of water. 1t was
brought through pipes from the
mountains, and there was large
reservoir full all the time and the
water was clear and cold. At
this place our boss sold one-half
the number of our cattle to the
government, so we now had only

near and so | headed him into
camp, and never limited to the
boys that | had been lost during
the night.
AS we travelled homeward it
was very hot, so we laid by most
ly during the day and journeyed
by night. We passed a place
where the Indians had attacked
train of about forty wagons.
burning all the wagons and hav-
ing killed nearly all the men.
| The irons were laying on the
ground just where the wagons
had been stationed. This cost
the Indians pretty dear, for about
so of their number were killed,
and the fight lasted several days.
The breastworks of stone, about
waist high, constructedEbyss the
whites for their protection, were
standing and we learned that
they fought here until all were
killed but five or six, who broke
through the lines and made their
escape to Texas.
When we got to the great bend
og the Arkansas river, we were
half way home, and here we laid
by to kill buffalo. We started
out six in a squad, my party
crossed the river into the sand
hills. We saw one buffalo, and
when within fifty yards of him,
we all fired atonce, and although
six balls entered his body, he did
not fall until he had lun a short
distance, but we did not care for
any of his meat, as he proved to
be old and poor, so we returned
to camp and when the other boys
came in, they had three fine buff
falo, large elk and several an
telope, so we dressed this meat
and had enough to last us till we
reached home. We were all
h lppy to know that we were now
on the last half of our journey
home, although we had the most
dangerous country to pass over.
One day We met large train Of
wagons. In passing, IAN Indian.
with them, whom | have spoken
of before as smooth card player
that | met at Kansas City, recog-
nized me and spoke. | started
towards him, we shook hands
and had some conversation.
When | looked at his wagon |
began to laugh and so did he,
for he had these words written
in as nice letters as you would Or
dinarily see, "Show pity, Lord.
Oh Lord. forgive. ="
For about two hundred miles
east of the great bend on the
Arkansas river, the entire coun-
try was alive with wild game
wild horses, deer, elk, antelope,
buffalo, jack rabbits, rattle
snakes, horned frogs and mos
quitoes.
My boss wanted me to cross
the plains again the next spring
but | refused. | would like very
much to hear what Mr.. Beeler
of Ohio township, would say
about his trip across the plains.
| will now close my long letter.
Yours respectfully,
B. F. Carter.

 has lost thirteen members by death and has paid out for sick and death benefits and current expenses about $S,700. Its receipts in that time as re- ported to the grand off1cers Monday night have been $260 for limitations,
 $7,031 for dues and assessments, and $2,345 from other sources. It's present

WAGES ON RAILROAD.

Figures compiled by the auditing de- partment of the New York, New Ha- ven and Hartford Railroad company, recently made public, showing the amount of increase in the pay of vari- ouS classes Of employees, based upon the pay rolls for the year ending June 30, 1910, and June 30, 1903. One pur- pose of the compilation is to disprove the statement published widely that during the last decade the general offi- cers, and not the men employed in the the greatest increase in wages.
 Following are the figures, those ap- bearing first being the average daily amounts paid at present, and those fol- lowing being the wages paid in 1903: General officers, $26.99-$25.06; other officers, $7.25-$6.66; general off1ca clerks, $2.30- $2.09: station agents, ,$2. 2S- $2.02; other sttation men, $2.02-$1.8S; engine men, $3.97-$3.59; f1remen, $2.28- $1.9S; conductors, $3.44-$3.1S; other trainmen, $2.39-$224; machinists, ,$2.9S- $2.39; carpenters, $2.52-$2.24; other shopment, g. $1.8S; section foremen, $2.53S2.34; other trackmen, $1.57-$1. .49 :. switchmen, watchmen and f1agmen, $1.S1-$1.55; telegraphers and despatch CTS, $2.47-$1.94; floating equipment, s246-$1.Ss; all other employees, $LsS- $1.72.
 From the foregoing figures it will be seen that the general officers of the New Haven railroad during the years of MT. Mellen's presidency have receiv- ed the smallest percentage of salary increase made in that period, except the bodies of employees designated as "other station men" and "other track men,"
