Colonel Chadbourne said yesterday that
he would pay out the money with as much
expedition as possible. His programme is
to muster the regiments in their armories
and pay the men off in this fashion. 1t is
safe to predict that there will be full roll
call at each muster. The First Regiment
will assemble in its Armory Hall on Tues
day night, the Second Artillery on Wednes-
day night and the Third Infantry on
Thursday night. Paymaster General
Chadbourne will appear in his full regi-
mentals, and the soldier boys will be ex-
pected to wear their uniforms.

least pay, and the men who did the hard
est thinking received the highest salary.

eral Dlmond. The colonies receive SO 70

The gatherings at the armories will be,
for the most part, happy ones, but the pay
of many of the lads who left good posi-
tions to protect the property of the South
ern Pacific will but lily requite them for
the idle months spent during the winter.
