Editor West virginian:
Some time ago wrote short piece
to your paper and since that time have
been asked by my friends to write
again, but as I have not done so
will now give you brief account OF
our trip through Indiana In 1906,
which took from July 18th until Au-
gust I'd to complete.
On Sunday morning. July Is, we,
meaning eight companies OF the eth
U. S. Infantry. went across early with
orders 10 prepare for march and
we did so: We rolled our blanket loads
which consisted of one shclterhalf,
ono blanket. one shelter tent pole. FIVE
pins. one guy rope. and enough cloth.
ing to last any man for n couple of
months. but still that is not all we
were required to carry. for that does
not include the equipment which all
good soldiers need, such rs his rife,
hayersack, belt, cantccn and 90 rounds
OF ammunition. SO when It was all
figured out we had about 30 pounds
per man. .sa
Well, by eight o'clock We were all
ready 10 start on our short trip OF
only e37 miles afoot. First call was
sounded and all fell In line and We
were soon on our way to Indiana. The
first day we went distance OF only
10 miles, pitching camp at Evanston,
ILL.,, and every man in line after a
couple hours rest was ready to take
4 look over the city, which was well
known to all. Next morning We were
all up at four o'clock and making
preparations for our second days hike.

the lawn by the side OF Lake allehi-
gan, but We could not rest content in
camp, so almost everybody, II not all,
again went out to look over the city
OF Chicago or paie or it. and most
of us did not get back very early
either, but MI were there In time to
fall in line for our third days hike.
which was only u miles. but was all
the way In the city and 1t was not at
,all cool day. but We arrived at,camp
early, which was pitched at Jackson
Park, Chicago. and We certainly had
a gay old time at that place, for in

Knox to get It, They can certainly
y see by.this time that the people are
