CAMP IN WYOMING
Adlutant General WedgeWood
Receives Word From Wash
ington to That Effect.

Word from the war department
reached Adjt. Gen L. A. Wedgwood
Saturday evening, to the effect that the
regular troops OF the department of the
Colorado and the national guard within
its limits viii hold general encamp-
ment at Fort ID. A. Russell Aug. Lilo.
This is what has been expected for
some time among the officers of the
National Guard OF Utah, the only draw
back being an uncertainty as to wheth-
er the necessary appropriation for
transportation would be secured for the
state troops from the national govern
ment. That doub; was removed by the
announcement of Saturday evening
last. and the state soldiery have the
assurance of being able to participate
in the general maneuvers at Fort Rus
sell in August.
1t is believed that from $500 10 1000
men will be there, SO full brigade ma
neuvers can be carried out, The militia
will be right in with the regulars,
which includes the Fifteenth infantry
from Fort Douglas, the Twenty first in
fantry from Fort Logan, a battalion of
the Eleventh infantry. with one battal-
ion of field artillery at Fort Russell,
and troops of the Fifth cavalry, sta
toned at various posts in the depart
ment. OF state troops, from Utah will
go n two-battaliun rNSiment of
infantry and band, a battery of
light artillery, signal corps and
hospital corps; a regiment OF infantry
from Wyoming. battalion from New
Mexico, two regiments Of infantry,
squadron of cavalry, a battery Of light
artillery, signal and hospital corps from
Colorado. This will make fine body
of men with which to conduct the reg
ular encampment movements. Several
regimental bands, both regular and
militia, will be in camp, and briga-
dier-general in command. The pay
and maintenance OF the national guard
come partly from the respective states
Interested the government paying for
the transportation and a part of pay,
Experiments in the e9st have shown
that the consolidation of the militia and
regulars in summer enCampments re-
suits in the highest benefit to the citt-
zen soldiery. The Utah boys will now
look forward toward Aug. t. with in
creasing interest and enthusiasm, as
under the new local regime. harmony
and a united feeling exists in all
branches Of the state military service,
and the various commands are work
ing up to high degree of efficiency.
