Famous Forts In
U. S. History
By ELMO SCOTT WATSON
Ns' 1s-0' W5steFH NeWspapeF UnIon.J
Where John Jacob Astor's
Great Plan Failed

1.-TWO leading objects of commercial
gain have given birth to wide and
daring enterprise in the early history
OF the Americas: the precious metals
Of the south and the rich peltries of
the north,' writes Washington Irving
in the opening chapter of Astoria"
the chronicle of one Of the most ro-
mantle of all these daring enterprises.
For the story Of Fort Astoria is the
story of how John Jacob Aston, once
a German immigrant boy in New York
founded the American Fur company
in 1909 and how the next year he or
ganized the Pacific Fur company to
compete with the lordly Northwest
company of Canada.
Associated with him we're three
former employees of the Northwest
company, Alexander Mckay, Duncan
McDougal and Donald Mckenzie, and
Wilson Price Hunt of New Jersey.
Early In 1911 post was established
on the Columbia river in Oregon as
the central trading point and named
Fort Astoria In honor of the
founder.
The short history Of Fort Astoria is
full of tragic incident-Of the loss Of
the ship Tonquin, of the perilous
trip overland made by Hunt and Nc
Kenzfe and of the questionable con-
duct of McDougal which resulted in
the loss of the post.
At the outbreak of the War of 1912
the Northwes company convinced the
British fleet operating in the Pacific
that the store of furs at Fort AS
toria would be rich prize and
war vessel was dispatched to capture
it. In the meantime other agents Of
the company had appeared before the
fort and persuaded McDougal that it
would be best to sell out before the
post was taken forcibly. The one
humorous incident in all of the TRACE
dy of Fort Astoria was the indigna-
ton Of the captain of the British
sloOp-of-war when he found that his
warlike expedition had been fore
stalled by a snug commercial agree
ment and that the anticipated booty
had become British property in the
regular course of traffic. When he
saw what miserable little stockade
was this post which he had been led
to believe was a formidable military
fertilization, he exclaimed ''Is this
the fort about which l have heard
so much talking? Damme, but I'd
batter it down in two hours with
four-pOunder
Fort Astoria was renamed Fort
George when the British flag was
hoisted over it. Although John Jacob
AstOr's grand enterprise had failed,
he lived to- see it become Fort AS
tOria again, after the cry of "54-4O
or Fight" had resulted in Great Bril-
tain's giving up her claim to the Pa
cific northwest and acknowledging
the sovereignty of the United States
where rolls the Oregon"

Its Builders Received
Is Cents a Dav

On August Is, 1916, Gen Stephen
w. Kearney's Army of the West"
marching to take part in the Mexican
war, arrived in the "drowsy old town"
Of Santa Fe and took possession. I'm
mediately afterwards cannon were
placed on an eminence overlooking
the town and these guns roared forth
a salute to the Stars and Stripes.
A month afterwards Kearney wrote
to Brigadier General Jones, adjutant
general of the army, as follows: "As
this is the capital Of the territory
a new fort is being built under the
direction of Lieutenant Gilmer of the
engineers and is called, subject to
your approval, Fort Marcy" Evi-
IDENTIFY the adjutant general approved
of this method of honoring William
learned Marcy, secretary of war at
that time, and so Fort Marcy it's
name remained as long as it existed
Perhaps no other fort in the Unit
ed States was ever built by the gov
eminent at such small cost The
work on the fertilization was done by
the volunteer troops in Kearney's
army, a certain number Of whom were
detailed to this duty each day. Every
man who worked 10 days or more con-
secutively got the magnificent sum of
18 cents a day extra on his pay!
The fort was further improved by
Col. Edwin V. Sumner of the Second
dragons, who took command of the
military department OF New Mexico
in July, 1851, and some of the regi-
ments who garrisoned it later saw
some stirring service during the Civil
war
Fort Marcy was not the first fort
erected on this hill in Santa Fe.
Away back in the beginning of the
Seventeenth century, before the Pill
grims landed on Plymouth Rock. the
Spanish explorers who pushed north
from Mexico found on this site evil
dences of a Pueblo ruin which had
been abandoned many years before
but which evidently had once been
nsed by these peaceful people as q
defense against the wild tribes which
sent raiding parties against them.
Although st. Augustine, Fla. and
the predecessors Of Fort Marion
seem to have the best claim to the
distinction of being the first town
| and first fort built on The North
American continent by the whites.
Santa Fe and the progenitors of Fort
Marcy can claim a generous share
In the honor of being relics of the
! rule of Spain In the New World.

'The doctor did not steal that

Jenkins laughed as if her words

caster had gone back; she could not
speak, but he understood her.
'"The doctors SAFE" he said, and as
he spoke Joan saw Lancaster among
a group of men who had gathered
about something wrapped in blanket.
He rose and came to her. That was
all Joan remembered.
And for days and nights her memo
ries of the past were cut short with
Lancaster's return that night, borne
back by the power of her love flung
across the miles between them. She
knew that he lived, and as the night
mare of the end filtered into her mind
there came with it the sense of an
abiding peace, as If the past was dead
with all its terrors.
Sometimes she felt that Lancaster
was beside her; but when at last com
plete consciousness returned Joan
found herself in bed in a strange
house. Through the windows she
could see the outlines of the familiar
mountains, gilded in the red sunset
glow against the blue of the sky. Be

be so remotely of the past that it was
difficult to refrain from laughing at
the incongruity of the sight.
