TWo-thirds Died.

b"S-SHIi 20 osSSs
The first winter was passed in rude
log huts which were inadequate pro-
lection from the biting cold, and in
the sickness that resulted. sixty men
of the small gsErison died. In the
early spring, Camp Coldwater was
erected to the north of the present
fort and Colonel Josiah Smelling,
who followed Colonel Leavenworth in
command during the summer, began
the construction of the permanent
fort to which was given the name of
Fort ST. Anthony from the Falls Of
st. Anthony few miles UP stream.
In 1924, the name was changed to
Fort Smelling in honor Of its builder
The rapid growth of the surrounding
settlements after 1850 persuaded the
government that it was unnecessary
to maintain garrison any longer at
that point, and in 1858 the post was
abandoned. But its use as place of
concentration for volunteers during
the civil war, and the outbreak OF
the great Sioux massacre in 1862
demonstrated that it still had It's
value. Federal troops again occu-
pied the barracks in 1865, and since
that time It has been one of the
most important posts In the middle
west.
There Is no phase of the develop
ment Of the great northwest which
Fort Smelling has not influenced. In
the history OF the fur trade the In.
dian relations, the Indian wars, the
Indian treaties, the great exploring
expedition, the missionary activities,
the first settlements and the early
government Fort Smelling has an i'm,
portant part.
Zach Taylor Commanded.
Colonel Zachary Taylor, later pres
ident. was commandant Of the post
from 1929 to 1881. The negro boy
bred Scott, who later figured In one
of the great decisions of the supreme
court, lived at the post from 1886
to 1888.
Many legends and stories have
grown up about the old Round Tower
all that remains of the original
fort.
AS early as 1S49 there was much
agitation to establish a military acad-
envy, a second West Point, at Fort
Smelling; and in recent years the
subject has again been discussed
The national crisis has now brought
this about to some extent And old
Fort Smelling may be about to enter
upon a new and larger chapter of its
history

NET GAIN FUR
 HUNT NOW 51

The dull monotony of the guberna-
 torial contest dragged it's weary foot
 steps through another tiresome day
 yesterday. Thirty mine hundred and
 fifty five ballots have been counted in
 the one week the trial has been in
 progress showing a gain of 51 votes
 for former Governor Hunt, not count
 ing an additional six votes gained in
 Clifton. with two more Clifton ballots
 held up for court ruling. This makes twelve of the nineteen precincts sub mitted as the ones where Hunt would
 make his big gains. These gains showed one less in Springerville and seven less in Stafford than had been claimed by Mir. Plunkett, for Mir. Hunt. Errors are claimed by each side
 which will probably necessitate the re- counting of at least twc-thirds of the vote of the entire state. The rate of progress will probably be faster than the four thousand shown this week. If not, it will take nine weeks to pre- sent the ballot evidence a:one. The Hunt forces will present their case first, which will be followed by the i precincts showing Campbell gains.
 The decisions made today are as fol | lows: Exhibit 150. vote in blank space 1 below Hunts name; exhibit 152, square | after Hunts name completely filled !

GEORGE ADE LOOkE
 BACK FROM FIFTY

George Ade is fifty years old, and the famous humorist says in an article he has written for the February American Magazine:
 'The first lessons l learned were those of political hatred. We studied our Mast cartoons before we tackled the primer. I know now that Samuel ]. Tilden was a courtly old gentleman who lived in Gramercy park, but in '76 he was a snorting demon with eye balls like coals of fire.
 "How our elders held to the old grudge against Copperheads and Knights of the Golden circle! The traitors attended church and travelled the straight and narrow, but they could not cover the blackness of their souls with boiled shirts.
 We believed that if the democrats won the blacks would be returned to slavery, the rebels would be pensioned the earth would slip on its axis and the whole solar system would be dis arranged
 What has become of the partisan who wore the oilcloth uniform and carried the smoky torch? He is circu- lating a subscription list and trying to get the Chautauqua back next year"

of the National Civic federation were assembled in solemn conclave of luncheon in the Hotel Astor. New York City a single cigarette curled itself into blue smoke over the heads of the lunchers. It came not from the fingers of John H. Finley, state commissioner of education, nor yet from thoso of Henry L. Stimson. former secretary of war. for both of these had passed up the tray of cigar cites which had been passed around.
 It came from the dainty fingers of Miss Anne Morgan. When the two men just mentioned. who were seated or either side Oi Miss Anne Morgan, had declined to accept a cigarette, Miss Morgan opened blue enameled case and took out a cigarette. She then extracted match from her gold match box.
 Miss Morgan lighted the cigarette. and puffed on it in solitary nonchal- ance. Throughout the whole of its eX- i istence it was the only cigarette cnrl- | ing itself into blue smoke above the 300 lunchers.
