NEW ENGINEER OFFICER COMING

Word comes from Washington that Maj. Chas. H. McKinsley, of the corps of U.S. engineers, has been ordered to Los Angeles to take charge of the local post, relieving Capt. Wm. P. Stokey, who for some time has been temporarily in charge.  Capt. Chas. T. Leeds, who commanded the local office, and who was relieved by Capt. Stokey, has been ordered to Ft. Bayard, N. M.

The work of the government engineer in this district is of the greatest importance, as it has to do with the supervision of the improvement work now going on at San Pedro harbor and the erection of proper fortifications there.

Will relieved Captain Leeds previously in the second half of 1910, when Captain Leeds became ill and/or disabled - see:
Captain Leeds returned to his post for a year, but then had to give up.  Now he has been sent to sunny New Mexico, and the Army has moved on to Major McKinsley, so now Will can go back to the San Francisco area.
​
Googling didn't get me anything for either Charles H. McKinsley or Charles H. McKinley.

I'm including this page in the Tour about Will's first marriage, because it helps to know where he was at the various times.
