Pranarations for the Encampment.

The arrangements have been com.

the New Mexico department of the
Grand Army of the Republic to be held
at Santa Fe tomorrow and on Wednes-
day. The council of administration will
meet tomorrow forenoon, and after 1t

called to order at the post hall on the
reservation. The public is not admitted
to the business meetings. The election
of officers will probably take place to-
morrow afternoon.

tomorrow evening at the post hall.
Mrs. Mary l.. Carr, president of the
Woman's Relief Corps, will be present
to make an address.
The committee on invitations desires
to announce that no special invitations

post or not, and their wives, have been
sent for the bean bake and camp fire
