Teachers Coming In n Hotly. Major Moot house has Just returned from a visit to Ccntralla. Wash., where he went for the purpose of photographing an old blockhouse, built in the Indian wars ot 1SS6 for defense against the warring tribes of the northwest. The old house Is located on the Olymplo-Grays Harbor stage road, one of the oldest main roads In the Northwest. Is about two miles from Centralta nnd Is known as Fort Borst. It Is built of huge fir logs and Is two stories high, provided with port holes In both stories nnd was a for midable defense against the weapons used by the Indians In the early wars. This is the only two-story house among the blockhouses of the North west, all of which Major Moorhouse has now secured photographs, except ing one built by General Phil Sheri dan on the Grand Ronde reservation. In Lincoln county, Oregon. There are four of these forts now -standing in fair state of preservation. One Is at Fort Simcoe. one nt Golden dale, one nt Centralla and the last on the Grand Ronde reservation. Major Moorhouse Is making a spec ialty of securing photographs and data concerning these forts, for an exhibit, or part of the historical ex hibit at the Lewis and Clark fair. He has secured complete historical data covering the ones at Fort Sim coe and Goldendale. and will return to Centralla soon to collect data on that one, and while absent in that JSArt of the country will go to the Grand Ronde reservation to secure photographs of the house there. The Fort Borst blockhouse Is now used for a hog pen by a farmer, and Is so near the river bank that unless) it is removed win soon topple over Into the river and be destroyed. As these blockhouses comprise one of the most thrilling features of North west history. Major Moorhouse. with thousands of other patriotic Western ers, believes that their history should be preserved and the houses them selves taken as an exhibit to the Lewis and Clark fair. There were dozens of them hullt In the Indian wars most of them have fallen Into decay or have been destroyed. NEA VETERINARY. Dr. T.
