WORK OF COMPANY G.
Capt. Roth Elected Major-Records to be
Proud of.

Proud of.
Company G, Third Regiment, Michigan
National Guards, of OwossO, returned from
Camp Robinson at Island Lake, Tuesday,
having made record during its second
year in camp which would hon or the oldest
company in service.
The company left Owosso on Wednes-
day, Aug. Q, having been preceded by
Quartermaster Bailey, Cook McNally and
their assistants who had prepared the
camp in fine shape and had ameal ready
for officers and boys when they arrived.
The company numbered 40 men and dur
ing the entire camp kept larger percent
age of men in service than any other conl-
pany. The term 'kid company" applied to
the boys last year was not heard after the
first dress parade which was given on
Thursday evening. The excellent appear
ance of the Owosso company and the I'M
usually good manual were noticed by the
hundreds of visitors who cheered the COM
panies heartily as they came into line.
At the preliminary rifle practice held on
Thursday the Owosso boys made the best
individual scores and as company were in
the front rank.
On Saturday evening occurred the cleo
ton of Major for the Third Regiment, and
Paul M. Roth, after two years as Captain
of the Owosso company, was chosen, being
regarded by large majority of officers as
the most capable man for the place. The
regiment consists of eight companies, Flint,
Alpena, Bay City, Saginaw, east and west
sides, Port Huron, Owosso and Cheboygan.
The honor is not only to Major Roth him
self, but to Company G and the city.
The selection of Capt. Roth as Major will
necessitate the election of captain for
Company G.. First Lieutenant Gould will
probably be chosen for the place and Lieut..
Bliss be made first Lieutenant. The choice
of Second Lieutenant will not be hard
task as many members of the company are
we'll qualified.
Fred Edwards held the position of clerk
at the hospital during camp.

hardly to have been appreciated, for on
their return Tuesday, tired and dirty, they
marched up the street in perfect step and
on the corner of Washington and Exchange
streets made several foot movements that
could not be excelled by any company In

manual of arms was given, the guns COM
ing to the different positions in exact time.
Finishing they closed ranks, and
marched away to the armory and not a
single word or sign of appreciation was
| given by the hundred or more people who
lined the walk. Never mind, boys. they
simply don't know good thing when they
see it.
On Thursday in the rifle shoot Company
G ranked first in the regiment and fourth in
! the brigade, competing against companies
that have men who have been in service for
scores of years. The individual scores made
on the same day averaged even better than
the company score, Ed. Howe making 90
which was the highest made on the ground
and equaled by only three other men.
Sunday the company entertained about
800 visitors and fed 200. Many ladies were
among the number.

of the cars was derailed, and hours
were lost in boosting them upon the
track again. Once in awhile every
body on the cars would jump OF, IN
order to take pull at the tow line or
apply their shoulders to the train.
The roadbed has not been kept In
rood condition. The locomotives are
more or less out of repair, and for a
distance of six miles most of the motive
force was supplied by the natives with
their long rope. The picture shows
place where only the members OF
Lieut. james party were eklng out
the motive power. Some OF them are
seen in front of the engine, hauling on
the rope, and others are at the sides OF
the cars, applying all their strength
toward forward movement.
Though the condition of this little
railroad is something to excite hilar-
ity there is no doubt that it is the be-
ginning of an important railroad en-
terprise. The line has been surveyed
all the way to the Niger river, and,
without stopping to repair the section
of the road now in operation, engineers
and workmen have begun to grade the
line beyond Bafoulabe, and in the
course of year or SO it will be adj
vanced thirty or forty miles further
beyond the Niger river. 1t will be an
important event when this railroad is
completed, for then Tinbuktu can be
reached from every center of civiliza-
ton by steam; and by the time the rail
road reaches the Niger there is little
doubt that white men will be admitted
freely into the famous and fanatical
city which SO long has excluded for
eign intercourse. The last white man
to enter Timbuktu was DIR. LEM twelve
years ago.
The news comes that Col. Archinard
has completely established the SOW
ereignty of France in the great country
of Macina, south of Timbulxtu, and
has placed on the throne one of the
royal heirs who can be wholly con-
trolled by French influences. The
most important result of this great
success is that Archinard has thus
opened way by the Niger to Tim
buktu, for this city is dependent, COM
mercially speaking, upon Macina.
The French expect to induce the chief
of Timbuhtu to accept protectorate,
and as they now control the region
that gives to Timbuktu all the COM
merce and wealth it possesses, there is
no doubt that Timbuktu will be forced
to come to terms and open it's gates to
the world.
