its rigorous drill. its exactions, its
freedom from wonted pursuits, ITS
life IN the fresh, sweet air 81 the

open has proven benefit as weli as
pleasure to the three hundred odd
members OF the National Guard, who
were able to take advantage of It.
The drills have been thorough, and
the militiamen improved in a manner
that was gratifying to themselves as
well ais to their officers. No one could
fail to enjoy camp life for week I'M
der such conditions as have prevailed.
The skies have been cloudless by night
and by day Any tendency to heat
has been relieved by the cool breezes
that are rarely still on the elevated
mesa. The landscape surrounding Is
superb. The background Of green
hills stretch away in charming vistas
