Colonel Jackling told the cadets of the
plans and wishes of the Utah commits

visit of the battalion at Seattle. He
said the boys had shown a spirit of
manly endeavOr i'm their preparatory
work and all Utah was looking to them
to keep UP their standard Of excellence
at the exposition
Governor SpTy said ne could not ex-
press too strongly the fact that the bat
talon would represent not only the
high school and Salt Lake at the ex-
position, but would represent the whole
state of Utah. He said the state had
sent an exceedingly good educational
exhibit and the cadets were going as
samples of the finished product" As
to discipline the governor said they
would be expected to maintain perfect
order and show implicit obedience to
Captain Webb during their absence
from home.
The governor expressed his gratif-
cation at the generous response from
citizens which had made the trip posi-
BILE, saying he wished particularly to
thank Colonel lacking for his generous
part.

happy and eXpectanJ lot of young sol
diers that was finally dismissed shortly
