Fl. SMELLING
SO YEARS OLD
TRAINING CAMP FOR RESERVE
OFFICERS HAS INTEREST
ING HISTORY.

Iowa City, May 10.-Fort Smelling,
Mimi, where $500 men and boys from
Iowa, Nebraska, Minnesota and the
Dakotas will undergo training to be.
come reserve officers has a most in
teresting history, according to Marcus
l.. Hansen, graduate student at the
state university who has been delving
into old records on this subject. .
1t had its beginning in August, 1919,
when Lieut.. Col Henry LeavenWorth
ascended the Mississippi river with
ninty-eight men Of the Fifth infantry,
and stopped at the mouth OF the Min
nesota river, where now Is situated the
village Of Mendoza, former New Hope
cantonment.
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 garrison died. In the early spring
Camp Colwater was erected to the
north of the present fort and Colonel
Josiah Smelling, who followed Colonel
Leavenwoqth 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, a few miles up
stream.
In 1924 the name was changed to
Fort Smelling in honor Of It's 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 1883 the post was aban-
doned. But It's use as q place of con-
centration for volunteers during the
civil war, and the outbreak of the great
Sioux massacre in 1862 demonstrated
that 1t still had its value Federal
troops again occupied the barracks In
1866 and since that time it has been
one of the most important posts in the
middle west.
