the year before while the District mill

limited field Of operations the plans of
the attacking army at these encamp-

lenders several successful landings
were made and theoretically the de-
lenses were captured on several Occa-
sions.
About 100 District guardsmen will
participate in the coming maneuvers.
Colonel Smiley, adjutant general, said
today that recent .eullStments have
brought the companies Up TO their re-
QUired strength. Most OF the young men
who have joined the guard since the be
ginning OF the summer school vacation
have been former High school cadets.
They have had the advantage of pre-
viOus military instruction, and therefore
make valuable acquisitions 10 the guard.
The prospect, too, Of participating in the
maneuvers in August locks particularly

UlOyed in various mercantile and Gov

Constructing
Fine Wharf

Without ostentatious ceremony
on last Monday morning ground
was broke" on the site of, Hot
Springs first wharf, and aside
from the inspection of the plans
by Harbor Master Seflendar the
proceedings were commonplace.
The Harbor Master merely looked
over the proposed improvement
to satisfy himself that the struc
ture would not interfere with the
manaeuvers of the gunboats par
ticipating in the proposed naval
parade and review which is ex-
pected to take place this summer.
Having satisfied himself on this
score the Master recrossed the
slough, went to the boiler house,
glanced at the steam gauge, and
then hurried over to Dufy's to
tell him about the "cakewalk."
The new wharf is being built
in front Of J. e. Nellany's lot on
the South side, and is being so
constructed that vessels can be
locked at any stage Of water.
