. OUTPOSTS BE
#*
EL PASO, Texas, July 23 (by As
sociated Press).—Like the chain of
forts built in the days of the Indians
to guard the Staked Plains and the
Southwest from raids by marauding
bands of savages, the United States
army is building permanent outposts
along the Mexican border to prevent
incursions by armed bands of Mexican
bandits across the border. These will
extend from the Pacific to the mouth
of the Rio Grande at Brownsville,
Texas, and will be garrisoned by de
tachments of infantry and cavalry
from the Southern department.
Construction work is in progress on
these permanent outposts in the El
Paso district, including the Big Bend
/ sub-district of Texas and the sub-dis
" trict of New Mexico. In the Big Bend,
where many Mexican raids have oc
curred, these outposts are being built
like the blockhouses of frontier days,
with trenches surrounding the low
adobe and concrete buildings, built
in the form of a quadrangle to give
the best possible defensive protection.
At Palvo, Ruidosa, Redford, Glen
Springs and Vado Piedra these out
posts are being constructed under the
direction of Colonel George Lang
horne, commander of the sub-base. A
cantonment also is being built at
Marfa, Texas, sixty miles from the
border, to serve as headquarters for
the outposts.
In the El Paso district proper an
outpost is being built at the Santa
Fe street approach to the international
bridge to Juarez. This will house the
dismounted cavalry bridge guards,
who inspect everything sent to Mex
ico. At Ysleta, Fabens, Fort Han
cock and Sierra Blanca, Texas, simi
lar buildings will be erected for the
patrols and detachments guarding the
' fords from Mexico. All will be plas
tered with cement on the exterior and
will have staples for cavalry horses,
electric lighting systems, running
water, shower baths and modern mess
kitchens. A cantonment is being built
of brick at Fort Bliss to house the re
serve troops for these outposts, which
will include 110 men and four officers
each.
Outpost buildings along the New
Mexican border will be constructed of
lumber from Camp Cody, N. M„ and
unused material purchased for other
cantonments during the war. The
headquarters will be located at Co
lumbus, with outposts at Hachita, The
Corner Ranch. Slaughter’s Ranch and
Other strategic points along the New
Mexico border. Each outpost will cost
approximately $18,000, and will be
built under the supervision of the El
Paso division quartermaster’s office.
Branch depots of the zone supply
depot in El Paso will also be built
along the border to supply these out
posts and truck, wagon and pack trains
organized to carry supplies, ordnance
and forage for the isolated border out
posts along the Rio Grande.

PAINTING OF DOG TO
OCCUPY PLACE OF HONOR
FOR STIPULATED SUM
LONDON, June 19 (by mail).—By
merely hanging the picture of a dog,
the Scottish National Galleries may
acquire a very substantial portion of
a fortune estimated at $350,000.
Callum, the dog, belonged to James
Cowan Smith of IJothamsall Hall, near
Retford, who died recently. Mr. Smith
was very fond of dogs, and kept a
number of them. Mr. Smith had a pic
ture of “Callum with a dead rat”
painted in oils. Under Mr. Smith’s will
the trustees of the Scottish National
Galleries, will receive part of his estate
if they will agree to hang this picture
“in a conspicuous place” in one of
the galleries under their control.
To a servant Mr. Smith bequeathed
: his dogs, with an allowance of $1.25
a week for the keep of each of them
and an annuity of $350.
