U. S. 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 :

H. I?. M. 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

i H. s (., lie-t Kngll.li ImmIv iM.21 for
Pawnee Uock, Kansas, May 1H,'8'.I.
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.
