FORT RILEY. 
 
 'T^ORT RILEY— founded and built in' the early flftles'.by Major E, A. Ogden, in whose memory was 
 
 1^ erected a handsome monument, which stands on the highest eminence in the vicinity, just 
 
 ^ west of the post— lies 135 miles west of Kansas Oity and ^A miles from Junction City. The 
 
 magnificent fort of today, which is without counterpart, was built on the site of the 
 
 old fort in 1889 and the succeeding years, as late as 1897. The buildings are all of fine white magnesian 
 
 limestone, an abundance of which is to be found on the 19,899 acres comprising the military reservation. 
 
 Lack of space forbids a lengthy description of Fort Riley and its beautiful surroundings on the 
 banks of the Ivansas river, which is formed by the junction of tlio Smoky Hill and Republican at this 
 point, so the mere mention of a few of the most interesting features will suffice. 
 
 The steam plant, with its miles of underground mains is said to be the largest, with a more ex- 
 tensive heating radius than any similar ph.nt in the United States and probably in the world. In the 
 coldest weather all the buildings in the post are comfortably warm. 
 
 The water works system, with a capacity of a million gallons daily, is one of the most completv 
 in the west. The water, which is very pure, is supplied from twenty wells, bored for the purpose. 
 
 The sewerage system and natural drainage is perfect, making this one of the healthiest of forts. 
 
 The riding hall is worthy of especial not(! being one of the largest and most macrnificentof Itskind. 
 
 The mess hall with a seating capacity of about '^,000, is equipped with all the latest steam cooking 
 appliances, and a first-class bakery. The ceiling is the largest self-supporting ceiling in the U. S. 
 
 To the soldiers of P'ort Riley, and to the merchants of Junction Oity, whose advertisements appear 
 herein, this booklet isrespectfully dedicated.
