the accommodations at Camp Mason
has been expressed by. those who have
watched the grading process going on

will become muddy and uncomfortable.

will be unbearable. These fears are.
however, entirely dissipated by the
statement of Secretary Pinney concern
ing the matter, who says that every
tent in the camp will be fitted with
board floor, which win prevent damp
ness of any kind from discommodfng
the occupants, and that, in case there
is a dearth of RAIN the grounds will
be thoroughly sprinkle1
