Summarizing Of 400 persons in New Mexico who

pear that the SpaHishAmercan citizenship is getting no

The Real Beginning.
At that time the only post we had
was the old adobe one up the river
near Harris mill, which would only
accommodate four companies Of in
fantry- Some Of the buildings are
stun standing Gen. Phil Sheridan,
then at the head Of the army, had
said that the post could not be en-
larged, but when he came out here,
while still agreeing that there was
not room for a larger post in its To-
cation then he thought a new one
should be built here, and so recon-
mended- This resulted in the estab-
Eshment OF the present Fort Bliss.
The postoffices prior to the election
Of Mr. -Lauham, had been in an old
adobe building down on san Antonio
street on the corner OF Stanton and
then in the southeast corner Of the
present Sheldon hotel.
At the time the present federal
building was erected, the custom
house was located in an old building
on san Antonio street east OF the
present Caples building or there
abouts.
J. A. Smith was postmaster at the
time the present federal building was
erected and, from him I get the date
Of its completion He moved the post
office into the new building on Octo-
Der !. 1892, from its location in the
Sheldon
