 The circular reproduces the text of letter from the war department to the governor, the substance of which has heretofore been printed in these columns reciting the method by which members of the national guard may se- cure commissions as second lieutenant in the regular establishment after passing certain examinations. It an nOunces that the necessary instructions have been furnished all troop and com pany commanders to whom the guardsmen interested may apply for information.

 Other paragraphs of the order are as follows:
 A territorial rifle practice cOmpeti- ton will be held at Camp Brodie, late in July to choose the membership of a team that will represent Arizona at the National composition at Camp Perry, Ohio, August 24, 1908.

 A battalion of infantry will this year participate in q camp to be held at Nacimientos Ranch, in Monterey Caun ty, California, October 16-31. in con junction with troops of the regular army and with organizations of the National Guard from the Pacific coast states.
