Gen. Ordway has been home for a week
and has been able TO give a little time
to guard affairs. As a consequence the
| drill hall will he ready for use one week
| from tomorrow. In speaking of the mat
| ter Gen. Ordway said.
| Mr.. Towers has promised ire that
! drills can be resumed on the evening OF
! the Gath 1t Will take about one week
| yet TO finish the flooring, which l. 20 be
| nut down in sections. Mr.. Towers says il
| can be put in place in forty minutes.
The usual drll nights VIII again he
| secured for the guard. The flooring viii
| ne nut down over the ice and taken up the
| next day. In this way the ice skating eau
| 90 on as we'll as the drills of the guard
| This arrangement outlined hy the gen
| eral will be continued until the first of
| April. when the han Will be turned over
| exclusively TO the guard. The floor VIII be
| laid in sections and 80 constructed as 10
make an even and smooth surface. The
lumber used isGcorgia pine, and Mr. Towers
thinks the guard will be perfectly satisfied
| with the result.
Gen. Oroway is pleased that the House
of Representatives treated his estimates as
kindly as they did. The guard was ap-
pOrtiOned 50 per cent OF the amount asked
The general had made a careful estimate
and knew just exactly what he wanted
To show how closely he figures IL can
he stated that ne estimated the cost OF
the last camp at $4,000, and the expense
footed up SI0.o34-
1t is hoped that the Senate Will increa se
| the appropriations when the ball reaches
that body. Especially is an additional sum
needed tor the appropriation Tor the camp.
Seven thousand dollars is too little for a
ten days camp or instruction. There IS
good reason to believe that the Senate
will increase the amount.
