The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1899-10-18


Regiment.
No orders to the contrary having been
received. the Forty-f1fth will leave next
Sunday morning on its long journey to
the Pacific coast and thence to the Phil
ipp1nes, which will be the scene Of Its
future activities No information has been
received at the camp as to which route
will be taken, but Col Dorst hopes that
some arrangement can be made to load
the regimental equipment at the fort, as
there are not sufficient mule wagons at
the fort to transport 1t down town with
out necessarily delaying the departure of
the regiment somewhat. Everything will
be taken along except the tent floors 1t
will be cheaper to purchase lumber on
the coast than to pay the freight. 1t will
require four, and maybe five, trains to
carry the regiment and its equipment.
There are over 1000 men who will go to
the coast, although only 1,O59 will be taken
to the Philippines, as two companies are
now at Vancouver and will join the regi-
ment on its arrival at the Preside. The
First and Second battalions are fully or
ganized, but the Third will not be COM
pleted until the two Pacific coast COM
panies, L and M, join the command. 1t
is expected that the Forty-flfth can pack
up and be loaded on the cars within three
hours after the bugle calls break camp"
The tents n=be taken down in three min
utes. 1t occupies more time, however, to
carry the camp outfit to the cars. The
p1llinmant In will nrnha hlV he IA 0rct
to leave, and the other sections, bearing
the officers and men, will follow early in
the afternoon.

The First and Second battalions held
battalion drill yesterday afternoon, and
the former was reviewed by Col. Dorst,
with the band, just previous to guard
mount. Maj. Frederick, mounted on
jet black charger, led the review. The
four companies participating in the drill
showed up in excellent form. Every order
was executed in unison and with preci-
sion. The band played popular and pa
triotic airs during the drill and had its
part in the marching movements. Very
much of the swing characteristic Of the
trained soldier is noticeable in the drill
of the Forty fifth, and month more in
the field will wear, over the rough places.
First Sergeant Danielson, Of Company
A, has been named as temporary regi-
mental quartermaster sergeant, vice A.
Roderigue, who has been transferred to
his company as a duty sergeant at his
own request.
