AUGUSTA, Ca, Jan. 1.-The Christ
mas of 1898 is passed, but the Fifteenth
will ever remember it as the happy
Christmas spent near Augusta, Ca,
and Father Time will have to work
hard if he expects to erase from their
memories the recollections of the
Christmas spent in Southern chimes, a
thousand miles away from home.
The boys spent a pleasant time,
and nothing was left undone by the
officers which would help to make
the Christmas joyful.
The Christmas boxes arrived Friday
and were distributed among the boys
Saturday, and in the general rush no
one was forgotten, fact which re-
fleets credit upon the auxiliary COM
mittee of Minneapolis, as well as upon
the officers of the Fifteenth.
The weather has been all that could
be desired for the past week, and, to-
day being a legal holiday in Augusta,
the visitors to camp were very nu-
merous.
