the greatest attractions in the pretty
Sacramento valley.
But they have
finally lost interest iu a way, and it
lias come to pass that the genial old
pioneer who has charge of the fort and
who is brimful of reminiscences of the
days of ’41», etc., sits quietly ill the old
fort anxiously waiting for something to
arouse interest in the place and furnish
the wherewithal to make the necessary
repairs. Six months ago the shed blew
down sheltering the old stage coach
which carried the t'niled States mail
and Wei Is-Fargo’s express during those
exciting times of the early days and
which shows the bullet holes through
the stage disir from some robber's trusty
ritle, Kinney's name in well discerned
letters, and even the old lantern which
lias rusted away from the wire which
held it to the top of the stage ami lies
broken on the door. The old pioneer
states that $46 would rebuild the shed
ami protect this old landmark of the
<lays of auld lang syne, as well as the
big prairie schooner which stands lie

these repairs?” I asked. "Because they
didn’t see lit to makethe appropriation
for the same,” was the reply. “Why,
I could pass ttie hat around and raise
that amount on the streets in no time

man, “but I can’t leave the fort, and If

things going to rack and ruin this way.”
Ro what Sacramento wants is a Wom
an's Improvement Club, made up of
the progressive women of the town,
who will act and not get discouraged in
their good work of well-doing, but keep
tlie ball rolling. Hutter’s fort is the
Mecca for all travelers and visitors to
Sacramento, and it is well worth the
trip. The old fort is tilled with many
curios, etc., which have been presented
by friends and well-wishers, and they
are the treasure troves of the old pio
neer, who guards them with a jealous
eye.
