Work on the post gardens is being
most assiduously pushed along under
the direction of Chaplain Allensworth.
Most of the ground in the large post
garden has been plowed and is under
cultivation. The garden contains about
ten acres of ground and is intended for
the use of the whole post. 1t will be
planted with ali the best kinds of vege-
tables. most of which are now in the
ground.
The chaplain is we'll acquainted with
the methods of producing the best re-
suits from a garden, and will undOubt-
eddy have one of the finest gardens that
the post has ever seen. The hospital
has also started a garden for its own
use, independent of the post garden. A
detail of men has been placed at the
of the chaplain in order that
the post garden could have all the care
The hospital garden is cared |
for by the hospital attendants.
6 % @
Arbor day was celebrated at the post |
by allowing the men to have holiday. |
Running, jumping, baseball and many !
other games were INDUCED in by the 1
soldiers, while a large party Of the ]
officers ard ladies went to Saltair to I
spend a few hours. The latter express I
themselves greatly pleased with the /
large pavilion and all the other attrac |
tons of the place.
Drills are now in full swing and the |
whole forenoon is entirely taken up |
with them and other ceremonies. Com
pany drill is left to the discretion of |
the COMPANY commanders as to the |
kind to he INDUCED in. Some command
ars make short practice marches with
extended order drill. while others exc
cute the manual of arms and company
drill on the parade ground. 1t will not
be long now before the season of prac-
tice marches begins again, and then
he order of things will be again
changed.
a very interesting race was Witnessed
)y the passengers on one of the Salt
Lake cars on Saturday. 1t seems that
| deserter by the name of Wilson
boarded the car and was followed by
Abbot and Sergeant
When they reached the reser-
Fation Wilson showed signs of leav-
ng the car. so the sergeants told him
lie had better go with them and not
make any trouble. Instead of doing so,
however. Wilson jumped from the car
md started off on the run. Sergeants
Abbot and Rainey followed. and then
nsued a very pretty 300yard dash,
With Wilson a good 70 in the lead.
The Specta tors in the car finally held
heir breath in the excitement of the
most extraordinary race. For awhile
t was even betting that Wilson would
scape, but suddenly Abbot shot ahead
nd ended at the 90O-yard mark with
Abbot first, Rainey second and Wilson
loser and captive. Wilson was then
AIKEN to the post and confined in the
-uard house.
Baseball is being greatly INDUCED in
low and several good teams have been
rganized among the men. Each bat
alton has a team and there are sew
raj other mines among the companies.
Just now the water in Red Butte
anyon is very high. and as a conse-
uence the residents of the post are
breed to use a rather muddy article
he only settling pool is the large res
rvoir. which is inadequate in itself to
erform both the tasks of holding the
-ater direct from the stream and also
citing it. 80
