port Logan for Manila. They will march
to the station under arms. with the band
and colors, and for the last time under
the command of Colonel Lockwood. who
has been the chief of the regiment dur
ing the last four years. The route will

crowd will be on hand to cheer them off.
A Popular Regiment.
The Twenty ninth has been very pop
ular in Salt Lake City, as has Colonel
Lockwood, and il will be the last chance
of the city to see either of them, as the
colonel will on the departure of the regi-
ment go directly to Detroit, where he will
live as a retired officer. 1t is highly
improbable that the Twenty-ninth will be
reassigned here out of all the possible posts
in the army upon their return from the
islands, two years from now. The pos
sibility also that the regiment may see
active service in the Orient, in view of
the Japanese war cloud, lends an addI-
tional tinge Of regret to their departure.
At San Francisco the regiment Will not
as has been the custom in the past, en-
camp at the Preside, but Will be
marched at once from the train to the
transport Logan at her dock at the foot
of Market street. The Logan is one OF
the modern boats in the army troop ship
fIotilla and is supposed to be one of
the most comfortable fVr troops The
passage over should be a pleasant one,
as il is a desirable time of year to cross
the Pacific although upon their arrival
in Manila the regiment will find the rainy
season well under way They sail Au-
gust and should arrive in Manila Sep

be assigned permanently TO Fort Mckin-
ley which is the principal one of the
stations near Manila. lying five miles
back of the city upon hill lands overlook
ing the Pasig river. The station is ex-

still more so from social one, as 1t is
one of the largest and most comfortable
posts in the army and connected with
Manila by an electric car line.
Outlook Is Pleasing.
The command as a whole officers and
men. are looking forward to a return to
the islands During their last stay they
were not at Manila, but at Camp Joss
man. located on the island of GuimaraS,
lust across from IlOilO the second city
in the islands and the metropolis of the
southern group of islands. Re-enlistments
have been unusually heavy since the as
signment of the regiment to the archl-
pelago: indeed a number of men who
came into the regiment with the eXpecta-
ton of going TO the Philippines some time
ago had declared their intention not to
re-pn1iSt IN TO the time the order came.
Then. too. the new soldier has heard from
the old veteran so much about the islands
that he will not think of leaving the ser
vice with the prospect of a trip to the
Orient before him. The same thing IS
true of the officers, practically every one
of whom has had at least two tours OF
duty and has seen service in the Islands
They feel that the only prospect for war
which the army has before it lies in the
Orient and that the first on the spot are
apt to get the lions share of the glory.
If also they get the greater chance OF
receiving their prospective medals OF
honor in the kingdom come they consider
that all in the days work.
