crossing, but that is all that can be
said. 1t is possible that the adjutant-
general knows just who are coming
from the outside to take part in the
parade, but if so there has nothing
leaked out 10 indicate what the
strength of the organizations will be,
nor where they Will come from. The
Acknowledgement was not at his office
yesterday afternoon, although several
callers were there and waited for his
presence.
AS a matter of course the city troops
Will take part. Captain Saunders COM
pany from Pennington will be here
beyond 4 doubS, as the officers and
members have always expressed a viii
lingnesS to assist Salt Lake in any
thing il desires in matters Of this
kind. Whether Provo will come or not
is uncertain, as far as announcements
is concerned. and the chances Of Ogden
appearing have not been announced. 1t
was given cut some time ago that the
Ogden battery would come here on the
days of the carnival and would join
with the First battery o. this city in
making a good display, but since that
time nothing mas been heard, and it is
high time that some information was
made public. This waiting until the
last moment is not conducive to good
results. If Ogden does come down and
The guns Of the battery of this city
are manned, gatlings and all, III will
require some seventy horses TO make
a good showing, and horses are not
picked up in d day.
Brigade headquarters seem to be
very slow in issuing the necessary or
GERS for the parade during the carnival.
A general order for a parade Of all
the troops at their various stations has
been issued, but nothing specific has
been announced, and as a result the
troops do not know What is expected
and the time is drawing near. If pa
rslde of the guard is to be made, 1t is
high time that all the members thereof
shall be informed as to what their du-
ties are and what viii be expected on
the dates mentioned.
An order has been issued for an in
spection on June %, which is not meet
ing with general approval. inasmuch
as all the men are supposed to turn
cut on the Fourth and a great many
of them on the End day of July. 1t
seems a hardship to ask nan TO make
three appearances in so short a time
as has been given. although the pro
tests will be waived if the orders given
are specific.

the announcing Of dissatisfaction
among organizations like the guard,
but as matter of fact several Of the
officers ard members of the city troops
are complaining that the headquarters
of the guard are not as easy OF access
as should be the case. acquisitions
have been made for necessary articles,
which are pigeon-holed and allowed
10 wait the pleasure of those in author
ity, while the men who need them are
compelled TO wait The publication of
an order in the newspapers is deemed
sufficient notice, and while to accom-
piish the purpose in that manner, II Is
bv no means regular. If regular hours
could be established by the adjutanf-
general, who. by virtue of his posi-
tion. is eX-officio of everything else IN
the guard. and the officers could know
at what time to meet him, there Would
be less dissatisfaction.
AT the last session of the leglsiatu1N
an appropriation Of $4,000 for expenses
OF the guard was made. This was sup
posed to be used in defrayi1g the eX
penees Of the purchase of such sup
plies as are not furnished by the gen

get anything through official channel
of the state government as is u

formed in taking care Of government
property has to be contracted for ''ol

suffer accordingly.
If the national guard Of this state Il
