The lawn fete given by the officers of the
garrison on last Wednesday night was an

We have received copy of the Payson
! Enterprise of date August2l. 1t is an extra,
unique and tasty and Cotton out to
herald to the world the advent of the Fort
Douglas garrison into that thriving little
town. Such enterprise is commendable,

progressive journalism. May the Enterprise
live to bea daily OF metropolitan character.

Yates of the hospital corps, should not re-
main tabled as tits by the military COM
mittee, but receive at least q semblance of
recognition. 1t was understood when
this corps was organized that the

the pay will remain as is, Sl3 per

commander. The history of the Brooke
kautz controversy, or rather General
Kautz' lengthy letter concerning it, was
, published in full in the last number of the
Af'mU and Nary Register.
