The weather was stormy and had been
80 for some days, and many of those
going over the summit camped at the
Lake, and, watching their opportunity
by day and night, made the pass dur

after very hard work in a driving head

snow, rendering il impossible to see but

the summit at 4 o'clock in the evening.

and trusted to luck.

it had it's little Inconvenience. We
reached Sheep Camp safely away after
dark, and found quite a settlement

the sleigh crossing the river from side

A Description of the Camp
Notes from the Regi-
111ent.

Camp Mckenzie, Augusta, Ca, Dec.
Leaving Broad street and coming
south and west through the outskirts
Of Augusta, the electric line climbs the
brush covered northern slope OF
Mount Sano, on the summit of which
we are located for the winter. It is
rather a plateau than a. hill, and
across it, from north to south, runs a
well-traveled turnpike. The first tents
the visitor from town sees are the
corps headquarters, situated on hill
south Of the street railway and about
three miles from town. A mile further
out is the camp of the Third cavalry,
Santiago heroes all of them.
Still another mile and the main
camp IS reached, the first brigade on
the east and the third on the north OF
the turnpike.
Going across to General Goblin IS
brigade and we find Minnesota 8
youngest regiment on the north, with
the Thirteenth and Eight Pennsyl-
vania in the order named. There is
sufficient distance between the brigades
SO that the turnpike is in the middle
of hard and spacious drill and pa
rade ground. Such is the first divi-
sion camp, and from all standpoints
it is an admirable one.
Not long since Major Edwin offered
to bet that the boys of the Fifteenth
would eat their Christmas dinner in
Minnesota. He offered to place his
months salary against that of pri-
vate. 1t won't be wise for him to
make that offer after pay day.
Camp M'Kenzie, Ca, Dec. ia
cold wave came down on this country
Sunday and has continued ever since.
Ice formed more than half an inch
thick and barely thawed during the
day. A cold southwest wind has
blown a perfect gale the entire time:
tents have been blown down and the
but the wind has now subsidized. The
boys begin to think it is time to move
again, as it is fully as cold here as
was in Pennsylvania at the time OF re-
moval from that state.
A general subject OF comment among
those who read the Tribune is the
Christmas boxes and general gooG
feeling prevails over the successful ef

we must lay aside our old utensils.
If, as a village, we wish to prosper
and keep abreast OF our neighboring
communities we must fall into line and
not lag behind. Ono great hue and
cry is, that re-incorporating will in
crease taxation. Not necessarily so.
But granting that it does increase tax
alton, such increase can only be used
for public improvements, improve
ments that are really needed and which
every good citizen would like to see
and take pride in. The revenue re-
ceiyed from an increased tax levy can
only be expended for public improve
ments. You say we don't need such
improvements? You might just as
we'll say you don't care for improved
machinery. Why do you tax: your

and behavior. He complimented Co.
E on the splendid line it preserved in
passing the stand. None were better.
A division commissary has been
opened which sells articles to enlisted
men at the price of government issue.
This includes tobacco and such ar
tic]es, which capteens have charged so
much for.
An order has been issued at the re-
communication Of Maj. Hand forbid
ding the canteens to allow drinks to
be carried away in vessels of any kind.
1t now becomes necessary for the men
to do their drinking at the bar. The
18th retains it's distinction of allowing
no drinks to be sold at the canteen.
The recommendations of the presi-
dents message has once more started
the muster out talk and the most fire.
quent questions are asked along that
line.
Gen. Young has recommended that
all other regiments take pattern after
the crem atory now operating in the
10Th regiment, and build similar ones
They are the most successful and eco

The Hussar rifle range is being put
in shape for use and it is expected
soon to be in readiness for use by the
troops. Target practice will be an in
nOvatiOn and a welcome change from
the monotony of regular drilling.
Kitchens have been built of lumber
for all the companies. They are a
vast improvement over the old open
air arrangement, and better meals can
now be served They are rather late
in coming, but they are good never
theless.
A complement should be given the
people of Augusta. They are doing
everything in their power to be hos
every way to show kindness to the
Northern boys, even opening their
homes to strangers that they may
make them feel that the South has a
warmer place in its heart for them.
A room has been opened for the free
use of soldiers where they may eat
and rest. Writing material is also
furnished. This is a mark Of ,consid-
Grafton and tits gratifying to note that
the boys are not abusing the privilege.
Co. M had a rather unfortunate ex-
perience with fire Tuesday night. The
high wind carried sparks into the
tents. resulting in a contlagration
which destroyed two tents and dam
aged much of the contents, cloth
ing, etc.
Capt. Spicer, Co. D. has provided
Sergt. Davis with a rubber stamp,
which relieves him Of a vast amount
Of writing.
The boys Of this company have
brought tw" large pine trees from the
woods, which they have set at the head
Of the street, and an arch of eyer.
greens has been formed spanning the
width Of the street, from which is sus-
pended the company letter. While
other companies have set out trees and
decorated in various ways, this ex.
ceeds all, and they are justly proud OIL
it.
Lieut.. Haley has been detailed on

DENVER, Co.., DEC. 8, 1898.
While taking a forced vacation it
will probably not be amiss for ye ed
itor to jot down those incidents and
descriptions which may be of general
interest to TRIBUNE readers. We will
not weary our readers with long ar
ticles telling of the prosy things which
are always incidental to a juorney nor
attempt lengthy description of scenery
which no language can adequately de-
scribe, but rather make shit or miss"
notes of incidents or bits of inforra-
ton which we think OF general inter-
est.
Having few hours to spare at
Omaha, between trains, we took a car
out to the grounds of the late Trans
Mississippi Exposition, hoping to get
some idea of the size and scope of this
past great event, which we unfortuate-
ly were unable to attend while it was
open. The grounds are kept closed
and none but those who hold passes
are allowed inside. Thanks to the
courtesy of Major Geo. l.. Dennis, we
secured admission. The buildings are
yet intact, except very few of the
smaller ones which have been turned
over to the tender mercies of the
wrecking company. Except for few
laborers who were engaged in tearing
down a small building, and some
draymen who were removing chairs,
we obviously had the vast grounds to
ourself. Instead of graceful flower
beds, lawns and lagoons there is moth
ing now in sight between the buildings
but snow drifts. An indescribable
feeling of loneliness came over me as
I walked over the bridge which sepa-
rates the eastern part of the grounds
from the main portion, and gazed
down upon the grand court now filed
with snow and ice. The white build
ings stand so majestically up from the
white ground, and with not a moving
thing in sight one felt as though he
were standing among the ruins of some
city OF prehistoric interest We
trundled around among the buildings
for some time, before the cold air
overcame our curiosity. and we made
for the entrance. The guard at the
entrance in his warm little box enter
tanned US with a tale of what he con-
sidered were the leading features OF
the Exposition, and before we left we
were forced to agree with him that il
had been "the greatest show on earth. -
We we're told that the business men
of Omaha have subscribed a guaran-
tee fund of 800, 600 and will utilize the
buildings next year for an exposition
and fair. 1t does seem a pity to tear
down and tear up at once the beauti-
full buildings and landscapes, and we
think, as the Omaha people do, tina,
they ought to be preserved if posi-
bic.

According to the city dailies Will
mar was one Of the few towns that re-
sponded generously to the call for
contributions to give the soldier bows
a merry Christmas. A large number
OF tin boxes were received here from
the state committee headquarters in
Minneapolis and our citizens sue
ceeded admirably in filing them. The
boys of Co: D. will have no reason to
complain of the treatment they re-
ceived at the hands of friends and rel
atives, and each man when he opens
his box at Christmas will feel that he
is remembered, even though not at the
home Preside to spend the joy Gus feast
of Christmastide. The boxes are now
in Minneapolis awaiting shipment
with the others from different parts of
the state. The soldier boys who are
members of the local Woodmen and
Royal Neighbors camps and of Gen.
trail Lodge No. SO, K. of P, will re-
ceive gifts from their respective lodges.
Christmas gifts are now on their way
to the 18th Minnesota in the Philip
pines, in which Central Lodge has
shown some interest.
Among articles which are shipped
in these boxes are whisk brooms,
tooth brushes, combs, suspenders,
shoe strings, blacking, writing tablets,
envelopes, sewing materials of all
kinds, tobacco, pipes and such other
aterials as are needed in camp ife.

A Case Parallel to Wi11mar.

There has been deal of agitation
and excitement during the past week
relative to the steps the council have
inaugurated looking to the re-incor-
poration of the village. Like all SIM
liar questions it has two sides and
each side has it's champions. There
are several reasons why we are in ia
vor of re-incorporating, and the first
is, on general principles, owing to the
fact that our present articles of incor-
poration, or good many of them at
least, are not in accord with the pre-
sent laws of the state and are a dead
letter. Pretty near 20 years have
elapsed since the act Incorporating us
became a law, and during that time
many new laws have been made that
conflict with our present charter.
They have become obsolete, in fact
are not taken into account at the pres
ent time. These obsolete parts of our
charter are calculated to cause con-
tention and wrangling among our citi-
zens, some claiming they should be
duly observed while others claim we
should carry on business in accord
ance with the general statute Of the
state: 50 far as village matters are
concerned. Those who are strongly
opposed to . change claim that the
village will reap no benefit By rein
