Kcvcnue Uout and m u short time lml come under the massive wall of the fort. It inbuilt into thcliilc, niul is leached from the hin.l by ii narrow foot bridge. The original fort hero by u mistaken survey was built on Canadian noil and on this account was given the name fort Blunder. Hut by the Ashburto-Wbtcr Treaty, (knit Itritnin grunted the goTcrnnicnt this land and we cave an equal amount in return. The line now runs about one mile north of the old line and is marked by 11 largo atone pillar Mirroundod by an iron fence. On the bide of the pillar fiiceing west is the following inscription : Caniida New York. Latitude :." It' 42"H J. S. Graham, Major Corps Top. Kngiiners. I. S. Astronomer, A. Y. Whipple, Lieut.

Commissioner. Immediately after this treaty was made, the present fort was com menced. It is built of stone aud it in Hiiid that a person going around it and following its angles will have completed almost one mile. Iu our boat we pased around it in order to get a good view of it. I suppose it is tifty feet from the water's edge to the parapet and is mounted on one side the side toward Canada, with three tiers of guns. There is no .arriwuii ln-r.t nf lil'fsi'tit but the fort is left in charge of a ke, per ull,l the lniardiiig-lioiiM. and the government has a sergeant here t i look after the ordinance. We landed and having met the fort keeper, he vva- ready to take us through. Passing over a mound of ground whieh n; iivly protects the side of the fort Inccing the laud. we eaine to a moat which we crossed by j moan of a druw bridge. Hero first wo ha 1 a chance to examine the line work, l'roiu all parts of the lower part of the fort are narrow loop holes all fuceing this bridge. Wo I entered the fort and came to an I open yard in the centre. This yard is ItUO foot by UlHl feet and I suppos ed is to be the ground for drilling. There are Lore two fifteen inch guns which are yet unmounted. They certainly look huge, the diameter of the breech being I should judge, four feet. AU through the yard are scattered many and large piles of cannon bulls and shells. Ut were taken to the first floor and shown tli' many guns, the port holes wore open and by them we obtained u line view of the lake us well as the lioidof ('utinilii There nee nii'lit lin. tions. each contains two maga'U" hundredsof Snyder eoun inos. We soon reached the para pet. Here are found the largest guiib, seventy four of them, und nil trained on the water approach from Canada.

Iloing urged by friends of Snyder county, lo contribute an article to your paper on the above subject, I present the following : Any law working against vile men will meet with a tremendous oppo sition. For instance, the law against horse-stealing being passed many years ago still remains a proof of this. The law which is an undis puted success is iolated daily. How much more so was it in years gone by when the law was in its infancy. The prohibitary law of Kansas is but eight years old and the violators of the law ate dcininishing four times as rapidly as do the horse thieves. Until 1XM7, before the Mur ry Amendment came into effect, the drugstori s weie a trc nu ndous an noyance to the law, but they have depreciated as follows : Paw nee Rock, a tow uot inhab itants had 2 drugstores, now one i St. John, a town of l.VXl inhabitants 5, now 2 ; Stafford, a tow n of 12(H) inhabitants 4, now 2 ; Hutchinson, a population in 1HH4 of 2000 uii 15 drugstores, now a population of 1700 having 7 drugstores, and so own other towns in ratio. These drugstores with but very few excep tions do a strict business. So you see we are getting healthier. There are no open saloon now to my knowledge in the State. Treating business (which my wayward broth er will freely acknowledge is the worst part of any fashionable sa loon! is a stranger to the rising gen eration of Kansas. The law was attacked in 11 by the billows and waves of opposition iu the resubmis sion problem, and in Ihms by the Iowa deeission which had extended to Kansas and the cause both times came out purer, nobler, and higher than before. Put is it a financial success ? We live in drouthy Kansas, and there is no state in the Union where the poor-houses d such a slim business as they do in this state. Put you say saloons pay license which keeps up the expenses of the tow n. Put who pay 1 the saloon t Just about four weeks ago I was talking with a man who last year w as running a boarding-house iu Itichhill, Mis souri. He says, "I boarded young men mostly, 23 in number, who worked but ten rods away from my hoarding house and in throe mouths I loht j22.").(K by trusting them." "How did you loose by bearding, and trusting working men?" "Well," he says, "the saloon stood between place of work.'' Friends these are the men that pay the saloons. Put you say "what will we do with our corn and rye 1 Don t you think if the poor drunk ard saved his whiskey money and b.iys grain for his poor horses und starving wife and children it will very near compensate you for the amount you ili-till in whiskey? If you ai e a model ate drinker and pay out ?lo, jfir, or ik:,, 1 a year for wins key, it will again compensate you. So you see you are making money by it. I uui tirm and conscientious. Prohibition is always best and if you live for your God, your home und nation and yourself, cast your vote for prohibition first, last, and all the time. Yours respoctf ullv, W. M. Zeibeu.
