AUTO MEN WILL FORM COMPACT
 FOR PROTECTION


 ming at o'clock and form a pro-
 tectlve association. The object
 of the association will be to work
 In conjunction with the city oth-
 elals In regulating tho auto
 traffic of the city and also for
 the mutual protection of the
 auto drivers and owners.
 For some time there has been more or less friction between the auto- mobile men and the city officials. Ordinances regulating the traffic have been passed and other ordinances are now pending. Some of the provis- ions are displeasing to the auto owners. and the actions of sever al of the auto men are displeasing to the city officials The associa- tion will appoint one man to meet with the city council at all times and work with the councilmen to- wards a greater harmony, and to confer in regard to the practical workings of any proposed ordinance.
 It will also be one of the objects | of the association to regulate the factions of the individual drivers as the reckless driving of a few men l tends to spoil the game for all the careful chauffeurs. There have been several accidents recently which nearly resulted fatally and the as. sociation will pass regulations Of their own with view to reducing the chance Of accidents and also to do away with any reckless driv- ing.
 1 It is proposed to issue licenses to drivers, which will be revocable at the option of the city magistrate. and providing a fine for the first of fense against the laws of the city, suspension of the license for the second offense, and the cancelling of the license for the third Ofense.
 Many of the more careful drivers of the city are up in arms against those who drive while intoxicated or who drive recklessly and claim that these drivers are making it very hard for those who are careful and who wish to obey the rules of the city. The drivers themselves are the ones who are behind the move ment for the association which they claim will work to the mutual bene- dt of all drivers.
 Chief of Police Harding has al- ready outlined for the council several ordinances which will work hard on chauffeurs who drive when intoxl- cated. "Other cities" said the chief Of police. have had to regulate chauffeurs and Juneau must come to 1t immediately"

BY J. W. FOLEY.

At the breaking out of the Civil
War all the posts mentioned in a
former article were abandoned. In
February 1866 Inspector General N.
H. Davis arrived at San Antonio un-
der orders to visit and inspect all
abandoned posts on the route men
toned with a view of reporting on
their establishment. AS the great
er part of the route was through an
unsettled country, military escort
from our regiment was furnished con-
sisting of one sergeant, one black
smith and ten privates, of which the
writer was one. For transportation,
for provision and forage, we had two
four-mule teams and for the General
one ambulance. A guide was also pro-
vided, an old gentleman named Hub
bard.
We left San Antonio on the 9th day
of February for Fort Bliss. Only one
of the party of soldiers had any idea
of where the fort was located, and
he had served in the Fifth Infantry
during the war. 1t is not believed
Fort Bliss had been abandoned, ex-
cepting for a short time. 1t was sup
piled from New Mexico during and
after the war for many years. The
Confederate General Sibly had trav-
eled this same route with a brigade
of Confederate soldiers in 1861, when
the Confederate government was try
ing to secure New Mexico. In the
abandoned post buildings were traced
the names of many of the southern
soldiers who were members of the
command. Where are they now?
It's an old story about General
Twiggs surrendering the troops in
Texas in 1861. There was a report,
in my time, of the officer in command
at Fort Hudson marching his COM
mand to Mexico, and sailing thence
to New York.
On the second day out we reached
Castroville, on the Median river, a
town settled by German emigrants,
which the state had secured for the
purpose Of settling the state.
The town was typical German in
GLIDING the brewers and limburger
cheese, which for the first time we
tasted, and found it good. From Cas-
troville to Fort Clark were only two
towns, Dhanis, Polish settlement,
and Uvalde. When we left Fort Clark,
all settlement was left behind, and for
the next five hundred miles we, did
not see living person, excepting
ourselves.
The greater part of the country
travelled was prairie, intersected by
deep canons in which the road would
run for miles when suddenly the
canon would end and after ascending
steep hill the prairie would be reach
ed; and after many miles another
canyon would be met. Only three
streams were crossed between Fort
Clark and the Rio Grand which was
reached eighty miles below Bliss. The
streams were the Devils river, Pecos
and Lympia, a beautiful clear creek
rising in a small mountain near Fort
Davis, which a short distance from
the latter place passed through the
also ran. At times the valley would
be so narrow that the road bed was
in the stream. Water would only be
reached at distances of from twenty
