BUILT YEARS AGO AS LOOKOUT
FOR HOSTILE INDIANS
Situated on a Peak of the Wichita
Range Near Lawton Okla
Place Now in Ruins and Vis
ited Only by Tourists
Lawton Okla To the northwest of
this city softened In outline by the
haze of 20 miles lies the Wichita
mountains From the foothills of the
Rockies in Northern New Mexico to
the Ozarks in Arkansas they are the
only break in the monotony of the
level plain They took their name
from a tribe of Indians that once
lived at the base hunted in the cedar
thickets that cluster on the sides like
huge spiders and fished in the clear
streams that rush over limestone and
gravely beds
From Fort Sill five miles north of
Lawton the two highest peaks of the
range Signal mountain and Mount
Scott stand in bold relief from the
rest of the range Mount Scott is
rugged and covered with scrubby oaks
and cedars The mountain was given
its name by a regiment of soldiers
who were returning through the coun
try after serving with Gen Scrtt in
the Mexican war Both mount a s are
nearly of the same height oignal
mountain is smooth and covered with
a growth of buffalo grass that greens
with the spring rains and late in the
season becomes a dull brown It could
not be distinguished from the other
brown foothills if it were not for a
speck that stands on its very highest
point Without a glass no shape or
outline to the speck can be marked
but the field glass of an officer brings
it close through the clear atmosphere
of the southwest and shows it to be
an old stone house
It was that old stone house that
gave the name of Signal mountain to
it When Fort Sill was first
pied the country was filled with
The Old Stone House Upon Signal
Mountain
tile Kiowas and Comanches It did
not take the troops long to discover
that before any outbreak or raid down
the valley there was always a signal
fire on the top of the bare brown
mountain to the west of the fort
The Indians had scooped a hole on
the top and when they were on the
war path the chief with the keenest
vision sat on watch scanning the
surrounding plain for some luckless
wagon train that he could signal his
followers to swoop down upon The
lookous from the mountain could also
get an unhindered view of the fort
and could send out warning when a
troop of soldiers was sent out on a
raid
The government decided to build a
stone house on the mountain for the
use of a sentinel It is the remains
of that house this is the speck on
the summit to day A storm a few
years ago took off the roof and
bled the sides Enough of it is still
standing to show the loopholos for the
rifles The mountain is so steep that
the loopholes ot the rmes ruu ueany
at an angle of 45 degrees so the fire
would catch the Indians as they
crawled up the slopes The angle is
different in the holes on every side
of the building because the slope of
the mountain is not the same
When the old house was in use sig
nals were made to the fort by fires
at night and a sort of wig wagging in
daylight Now the old house is in
ruins and is never vicited only by
tourists from the east In the foot-
hills around Mount Scow Geronimo
and his Apache braves are kept the
prisoners of Uncle Sam signal moun
tain and its history is known only to
the old timers who sit at the fort
and tell of the days when the Kiowas
and Comanches were not the quiet
peaceful people that attend the In-
dian school or live on their allot
ments
Ruskins Opinion of Mrs Carlyle
He spoke with scornful amusement
of such mistaken enthusiasts as
wished to enroll James Welsh Car
lyle among the martyrs on account of
her mans bad temper He admit
ted that Carlyle was frequently
grumpy and habitually melancholy
but so am I and he was easily ir i
ritated That clever shrew his
wife well knew this and by the very
tones of her voice as she rasped out
his name could set his nerves on
edge in a paroxysm of febrile irrita

Britishers Like Climate
A London magazine has been col

character for the British climate Al
most without exception the persons
jinterviewed from King Edwardi

climate to be the finest in the world
It is British and for a Britisher that

York skyscraper scaffold rigger and
high girder man of the Brooklyn
bridge is now in the house of com
mons serving as one of the most use
ful members of the British parliament
The man is Joseph Havelock Wil

known as the seamens advocate in
parliament and is the father of the
Sailors union or officially general
president of the National Sailors Fire
mens and Fishermens union of Great
Britain and Ireland Jack of the
merchant service has only one real
representative and that is J Have-

Mr Wilson Is making the sailors
Interests his lifework His work in
parliament is of paramount impor
tance to the sea faring man
He was elected after two defeats
in 1892 and has been a member ever
since Although he helped build the
Biooklyn bridge and many of the New
York skyscrapers and did other work
in the United States Mr Wilson is pri
marily a sailor He served for a dec

JOSEPH H WILSON
Former Cattle Puncher Now Member
of British Parliament
only acknowledged by all shipowners
but is one of the strongest and best
known in the world
Joseph Havelock Wilson is 48 years
old this month He was born in Sun
derland on the northeastern coast
His father who was a sailor died
when little Joseph was barely three
years old He left a widow and a
family of a round dozen
At six years old Joseph like so
many American men of prominence
began earning money selling papers
on the streets of his native city He
was a success as a newsboy and his
earnings helped the home so much
that when he was nine his mother
Rras in a position to apprentice him
to a trade
He wanted to go to sea but his
mother would not have it and so Jo
seph tried to steady down and learn
the trade of a lithographer When he
was 12 years old the sea called him
so strongly that he ran away He
was caught and taken back home but
within a week was away once more
and this time aboard a steamer as en
gineers steward
He gradually rose to AB and in the
next ten years sailed in a score of dif
ferent ships steam and sail Thea
he was shipwrecked in the South Seas
and finally landed at San Francisco
From there he made his way to the
Atlantic coast and for several years
made his home in the United States
It was these same United States
that gave Mr Wilson his real start
up the ladder of success He himself
declares that wages were so high that
he was able to save a good pile and
come home to Sunderland with a fat
purse With his money he purchased
a temperance hotel married and soon
became a prosperous man of affairs
The little old Seamens union a lo
cal affair in Sunderland was still in
existence though very wobbly Mr
Wilson paid up his arrears in dues
and began to take an active part in
union matters Year upon year he
struggled
He financed the National Sailors
union was prosecuted by ship owners
served terms in jail took part in
strikes and lockouts in England and
on the continent was expelled from
Germany and Holland was twice de
feated for parliament lost all his fur-
niture and property on a judgment fon
libel damages secured by ship owners
during the Glasgow strike and in fact
was buffeted about as roughly on shore
as he would have been in the wildest
storm on his beloved sea
But Mr Wilson has the nature ofi
the British bulldog He is a giant in
build a Hercules in strength He
emerged in 1892 with flying colors and
ever since has been climbing to bis
present pinnacle of success
