The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1899-09-24

One hundred new recruits were en-
rolled upon the roster Of the Forty-flfth
regiment at Fort Smelling yesterday, and
several large squads from various sec
lions of the country were reported on
the way and will arrive at the camp to-
day.
1t is expected that a large number will
visit the camp today, as 1t is close to the
government road, which is one of the
most popular drives In the vicinity of
st. Paul. Col. Dorst has. however, given
orders that no one he allowed to pass
the lines and enter the camp unless a
pass is shown, and permits will only be
issued to those who have business In
side the lines. The camp, as viewed
from distance, furnishes a fine per-
spective for the ambitious camerian en-
thusiast EVERYTHING about the camp is
in perfect order. The grounds are kept
perfectly clear of papers or other rub
hish, and special attention is paid to
sanitary conditions by the officers.
Capt. 3. F. Patrick, who has been Sc
lectcd IS acting adjutant. has opened
headquarters on the west side of the
camp and is very courteous and eff
cient officer. AL the detail work de-
wolves upon him, such as making out en-
listmert papers and descriptions, which,
to the uninitiated, does not signify as
much as to the army officer who has been
all through the mill A corps of assist
ants are at work early ami late. and SO
far the work has been kept right UP to
Jo4a v1,bo tho rpvtpopnf leaves itS
records will be complete, and there will
be no back work to catch up.
Col Dorst stated yesterday that he did
not believe the regiment would be or
dered to San Francisco until it had a
full complement of men. But it was
cutie certain that 1t would not remain In
camp at the Fort long after the number
of meri necessary to complete the muster
rolls are received. The men are being
trained every day iii nearly every branch
CT the drill, with the exception of marks
manship,, and this branch of their mill
tary education will be temporarily neg
lected until the command reaches San
Francisco
Only men who have served In some
branch or other of the army are assigned
for guard duty until little more prog
ress is made IN the drill Fortunately,
however, there are a great many who
have served before. The old Third United
States infantry, the Fifteenth Minnesota
and a half-dozen other regiments are
well represented in the membership of
the Forty-f1fth.
"Iincle Sam means business said a
private yesterday who spent his first day
in cansp and was hardly seasoned to the
long drills. The remark quoted was
prompted by long charge up the lit
tie ravine back of the camp Maj. Dam
lei A Fredericks and Capt. Eugene c.
Montfort have been detailed by Gen.
Wade and Col. Dorst to inspect the rife
range at Lake City and report wether
it can be used for practice by the
Forty-ffth 1t is not likely. however,
that the regiment will be moved until 1t
goes to San Francisco.
The appointment of two now officers
has been made. They are Second Lieuten-
ant Edward P. Barber, of Cleveland, O.,
and Second Lieutenant Albert S. Odell,
of Baltimore. Second Lieutenants Mum
ford and Member reported for duty yes
terday and were assigned to Companies
D and A, respectively. Supt. James Ross
has been assigned to ten days recruiting
duty at Portland, Or.
