HIGH RATING
OF COMPANY F

The official report of Colonel Frank
G. Sweeney, Inspector General of the
National Guard of Pennsylvania, to
Adjutant General Stewart, reached this
city last evening. 1t gives the results
of the spring inspection of the guard
and shows improvement over the in
spection of the previous spring.
Company +, of Danville, stands
second in the Twelfth regiment with
an average of 81 100. The first COM
pany, B, of Williamsport, has an aver
age of 81 :87, but little higher than
the Danville company. This is the
first time for years that the boys from
this city have had such an excellent
rating. They feel highly elated, for
considerable hard work was done dur
ing the year by the officers and men
to bring about such a result. Captain
j. Beaver Gearhart worked especially
hard and has the satisfaction of seeing
his company not only way up in the
Twelfth, but with an average that
was reached by but few companies in
the entire guard
Company f has kept up this i'm
provemelt since the inspection and
will go into camp in better shape than
ever before. Captain Gearhart and
all his men are confident that they
will win laurels at Gettysburg and
are looking forward to week of real
soldering with much pleasure. The
boys are now busy making their final
preparations for the trip to Gettys-
burg.
Colonel Richardson, of the State
Arsenal, is in Gettysburg this week
arranging for the encampment of the
National Guard there next month.
The railroad sidings as laid out by the
guard officials in May are being built
and will be more extensive than at
first reported. They will be large
enough to permit each brigade board
ing the cars directly in front or be-

be taken directly to the camps of the
brigades and regiments and there will
be none of the confusion and trouble
over equippage lost or strayed in
loading and unloading experienced oc-
casionally at Mt. Gretna.
The camp promises to be one of the
largest in years. Governor Stone and
his staff will be OH the ground all
week and it is likely that President
Roosevelt will visit the camp one day.
While the President has not given his
full promise to review the troops he
has announced that he will attend if
possible. Word has been received at
guard headquarters that the Washing
ton authorities have finally given per-
mission to battery of artillery from
Fort Myer, Va, attending camp The
artillery company will march overland
to the camp and after the breakup of
the encampment will continue its
practice trip across country to Mt.
Gretna for target practice. General
Stewart is much pleased that his men
will have an opportunity of inspecting
camp of regular army soldiers. He
believes the lesson will be valuable
one for those of the guardsmen who
did not see service in the Spanish Am
erican war.
Already inquiries are being receiv-
ed at the local railroad stations as to
rates to Gettsy5urg during the en-
