ALetter from Co. E.
FORT Ridley, KAN, Sept. /,

FORT RILEY, KAN, Sept. 1903.
Co. E arrived in camp Sunday morn
ing at 8 O'Clock after long, tiresome
trip. We arrived in Taopi at 7:3O, Fri
day evening and transferred, taking
the Great Western train at $3.50 Satur-
day morning, arriving in Oelwein at
6:l5 and laying over about two hours,
then to Marshalltown where we trans
ferred to the Northwestern and fur
nished tourist car sleepers. Most of
the boys were pretty well tired out at
arriving at the camp.
We are camped one-fourth of mile
from the first capitol of Kansas and
about one mile from the geographical
center of the United States. The camp
is surrounded by hills on every side,
ranging from 100 to 700 feet in height.
The government owns tract of land
here containing 10000 acres. There
are about 40, 600 soldiers in camp here
from the Dakotas. Wisconsin and
Iowa.
The Co. E boys don't think much of
this state. As one expressed it: "All
you can raise here is whiskers, and
there is so much gumbo here you could
not raise an umbrella.
| The town is SO far from camp that
not many of the boys feel like going
to town as we must cover about II
miles every day.
All the recruits were initiated las
evening, going through such things a
being tossed in blankets, going through
the hot oven, and last but not least tn,
candle and water cure. Those who ar
inquisitive should ask the recruits wha
it is. Serg. Mcintosh is always sur
to see that no one gets lazy from to-
much sleep.
Co. E. is holding its own by having
majors orderly, a colonel's orderly
and Sergt. Boughner being appointe
Sergeant Major.
The hardest luck the boys have is t
get their favorite kind of smoking te
bacco as they have all different brand
