She had planned to stay only a few months, until after the marriage of her granddaughter Karol to Donald Graham, which was March 28, 1958. Mrs. Kirkley so enjoyed the wonderful climate here, her health improved, and so she stayed on to see what the summers were like and then to enjoy the very mild winter weather.

It left our command as we approached Fort Mann and all enjoyed perfect health to Las Vegas, then garrisoned by three companies of regular troops one of artillary, one of dragoons, and one of infantry. "It took us two days to let by ropes our tram of 100 wagons down the rugged hill of Raton, whilst black-tail deer stared at us in wonder from the neighboring crags, and thousands of graceful antelope gazed, more in astonishment than fear, from the plains. The only sign of cultivated humanity between Council Grove and the Ruidosa, was Fort Mann, at the lower crossing of the Arkansas, and the abandoned walls of Bents old fort.

"The following month of August 1851, Fort Union was located and the first sound of the axe awoke that beautiful valley from its slumber of 4,000 years to the echo of civilization. About this time a novel idea took -possession of the noodle of the secretary of war, by which the army of the extreme west was to be made self-supporting turning the soldier into a farmer and his sabre and musket into hoes and rakes. Preparatory to this new kind of grim visaged war, the agricultural bureau shippki us large quanities of assorted seed, grains, and vegetables, farming tools, plows, mowers, and threshers, stallions and brood mares, hogs and thorough-bred cows and bulls. Rugged old soldiers of fifty battlefields, gazed with amazement at this exhibition of the rural, and proud old officers disquestedly said: it. The dedication of the fort on June 14th will be at 2 m.

and representatives of the Defense Department, the Department of Interior, and many other dignitaries will be present. Fort Union, a non-profit organization that contributes assistance to the operation of the monument, has charge of the dedication. The proceedings will be open to the public and anyone in the vicinity on June 14th is invited to attend. que. Mr, Brownfield, who also will attend the annual meeting with his wife, made the presentation on behalf of the New Mexico Meat Institute, Mrs.

Linda M. Lambert, president. According to Mr. Brownfield, the state Meat Institute sponsors a boy to the national convention to better acquaint him with the processing and merchandising of meats of all kinds. The best executive is the one who has sense enough to pick good men to do what he wants done, and self-restraint enough to keep from meddling with them while they do it.

Theodore Roosevelt by IVm. S. Wallace, Assoc. Li (mi. N.

M. Highlands University On June 14, the formal dedication of historic old Fort Union as a National Monument will take place at the site of the fort just off of Highway 85, north of Watrous. Fort Union was constructed during the summer of 1851 under the supervision of Col. E. B.

Alexander of the 3rd Infantry. The fort, which was to later be re-built in the 1860s, had no walls and. because the building were distributed over a large area it had more of the appearance of a village than a military outpost. The fort was abandoned until 1891. The very earliest history of the fort was contained in a column carried by a number of New Mexico newspapers in the summer of 1891.

Writing under the pseudonymn of "Old Fogy, the author gave this account: "Forty years ago, this evening, the command of Col. E. Sumner, U. S. dragoons, formed camp at what was then known as Los Poms, new Fort Union.

We had been forty days out from Fort Leavenworth, and on account of the scarcity of grass and water had abandoned the old Santa Fe trail at Fort Mann, on he Arksrwas and from thence followed up the river to Bents old Indian Trading post, crossing the Arkansas at the Big Timbers. Here it was I first saw Indians buried in the trees. A thoughtless young dragoon robbed one of the late burials of a comparatively new, red blanket, and our stem commanding officer dismounted him for the remainder of the entire march to Las Vegas. "Our command of two companies of dragoons and two of infantry had experienced in route some very rough handling. It was the demon cholera year of 1851, and the terrible disease stayed with us until crossing Pawnee Fork, decimating our ranks with its deadly grip, at the rate of five young men a day.

At Soldiers Creek we had lost our eminent surgeon, Doctor Raynolds, after two hours sickness; but, as good luck would have it, a jolly young Irish doctor, of Dublin university, all life and soul, had attached himself to the writers party, more as an amateur adventurer of fickle fortune amid the ups and downs of the wicked west. He was immediately employed, after showing his papers to our rugged colonel and met with great success. "Captain John Pope of the United States Topographical corps, was the last to be taken down with the fell disease, at Pawnee Fork, and Doctor Barney Barry plastered him with mustard from his neck to his heels until he resembled a bronze statue of George Washington, and, although Pope complained that the remedy was worse than the disease, it saved him for prosterity and Stonewall Jackson at the Second Manassas, and there wiped him out forever. "In those days of Injuns and innocence, the cholera was never known to cross the Arkansas river or ascend the Rio Grande higher than Las Cruces.
