IMPROVEMENTS FOR LAkEviEw
General Libbey and Captain Hart Have
~ Several in Contemplation. .@

LAKE CITY. MINN.-Adjutant Cen
eral E. D. Libbey and Captain w. II.
Hart. brigade quartermaster for the ma
tionai guard, were in this city and Wis.,
tied the camp grounds. There are many
improvements in contemplate promin-
ent among which is the erection Of ap-
proaches to the lake. so as to make the
camp more accessible to launches. At
present the boats are compelled to ground
on the gravel beach and throw out planks
to embark and disembark passengers. 1t
is hardly probable any of these improve
ments will be made before spring. and 1t
may result in counter proposition being
held out to this city to afford COM
Portable landing here.
All last winter work was going on at the
range and new buildings We're erected. 1t
was found to be much cheaper to do the
work in winter than in the summer.
General Libbey hoped to continue the
work this winter, but finds the appropria-
ton almost exhausted.
The announcement Of the intention OF
Governor Van SAINT to reappoint his mill
tary force at the state capitol-Adjutan
General Libbey. Assistant Adjutant Cen
eral Oscar Seabach. and Captain O. M.
Nordley military storekeeper, seems to
give general satisfaction.
Last summer the first in many
years in which a new company was not
among the regiments. The location Of
new company a Crookston. Company l Of
the Third regiment. insures one new
company for next year. and there may
be several more.
National Guard Association.
The annual meeting of the officers of
the National Guard association will be
held at the state capitol On Saturday,
Dec. -. There will be much Of import
ance to come before this meeting and it
is probable that General Libbey will leave
the question of annual inspection for it
to decide. Should the officers desire
that the inspection at camp be continued,
such will be the case. 1t is probable.
though that the plan will be defeated, as
much dissatisfaction was apparent last
summer
The committee on legislation for the
national guard. comprising the colonies of
the three regiments, the commander of
the, battalion of artillery, the brigade
commander. the medical director and the
adjutant general seven in ALL will be
called together probably this week. in St.
Paul, to discuss needed legislation and
to make recommendations for the asso-
citation meeting.
Major George G. Lambert st. Paul, is
working to secure the legalizing Of the
armory bond issue for that city, and much
hope is entertained that he may be sue
cessful. 1t will be necessary to have the
legislature act and the major hopes to
secure the Endorsement Of the entire
Ramsey county delegation.
The promotion Of Lieutenant Asa F.
Goodrich Of St. Paul, medical depart
ment, to captaincy, adds another cap
tai to that department. Assistant sur
geons are appointed with the rank Of first
lieutenant. and after five years servece
are promoted to captains
