TUCUMCARI MILITIA
HAS BIG TIME
ON CALIFORNIA TRIP
Was Mobilixed at Albuquer.
que and Reviewed by Gov.
ernor and Then Took
Train for California.
FOUR HUNDRED FIVE
FROM NEW MEXICO

On Sept IS the Military Company
left Tucumcari for their trip to Cali.
fornia. They reached Albuquerque, and
there the regiment was mobilized and
reviewed by Governor Mills. They
then took the train for Atascadero, Gal.
ifornia, reaching the camp Sunday morn
ing. There were 405 men from New
Mexico. The first regiment Of Arizona,
the sth, 18th, and 30th infantry and
the 9th battery Of regulars, and bat
terry A of New Mexico, q squadron Of
engineers, signal corps and one ambu.
lance company, making a total Of g.
900 men.
Before entering camp every man In
the 6rst regiment was vaccinated TO
make them immune from typhoid, and
during the entire trip there was not q
case Of sickness or an accident in the
regiment.
The first problem in which our boys
were engaged was to protect n com.
pany of engineers who were trying 90
destroy bridges, railroad stations, wat.
or works, etc., three miles from camp.
When arriving, the second battalion
deployed behind q hill and from this
point kept up such u heavy fire that
the enemy did not approach the sta.
tion.
The next problem was in the construc.
tion of entrenchments before the enemy.
The entrenchments were so we'll con.
structed that the umpire in his deeis,
ion appealed to the head umpire, who
made the mistake Of taking the work
OF the militia for the work Of the
regulars.
The last problem was the protection
Of the amunition train of the Red -
army, and In this action 1000 men
were engaged. The grounds Of the
camp were well arranged, with water
piped to all of the streets and shower
baths for the men. The fare of the
men was the same that was given to
the officers and all of our boys were de.
lighted with their treatment. On the
return trip the train stopped at all of
the principal cities, and the men were
given an opportunity to see the towns.
At Los Angeles they stopped over for
several hours and the men enjoyed see.
ing the sights Of the city. The army
Y. NJ. G. a. had their tents at the camp,
and the men were entertained with
moving pictures, etc.

Owing to the lack of sufficient and
timely rainfall in various sections Of

Of spreading information TO this end
and earnestly solicit the cooperation

10 secure names and addresses Of persons
who are interested in pumping, both
those who contemplate and those who
are actually irrigating by this method
To these people will be sent as mucA
information in the way of bulletins,
articles and machinery catalogues as
can he obtained in order to present 20
them as many sides of this system OF
irrigation ms possible. Would ycu call
the attention of your readers TO this
work and that we are desirous of 80
curing the names ana addresses OF
people who would like TO receive thin
