Arizona republican., 1910-09-21

when it became apparent that tt would 1 be 10 o'clock or later before the train pulled into Atascadero Colonel Tuthill made arrangements with the railroad people to let the boys sleep a second night in the tourist sleepers. The news of this arrangements was received with unbounded delight, for the guardsmen did not relish the prospect of marching a mile and half in the cold night and struggling in the dark ness to get their shelter halves up. At half past this morning they were routed out of bed and fed on ba- con, coffee and potatoes. which the regular cooks had prepared. Then they
 marched to the spot selected for their camp. which is a little over a mile west of the station. Atascadero is an ideal place for military camp. It is a sort of rolling country, with broad, grass covered spaces suitable for camps or parade grounds. The drainage Is excellent and sanitary conditions could not be better The character of the country is ideal for military instruction. There are places where an entire army can be given a drill in normal attack and over in the next draw a spot where a guerrilla band might turk. Most or the trees are oaks but there are many other kinds along the draws which
 criss-cros the camp. Three thousand regular soldiers are now encamped here and the Arizonians expect to learn a great deal 1f the art | of war from them. The Thirtieth in | fantry from the San Francisco Pre- | sidio: the Eighth infantry from the Monterey presidio, a troop from the l First cavalry. three batteries of artil- lery, engineering. hospital and signal corps are here The road from Camp | Atascadero to Atascadero station is l lined with government wagons haul | ing over supplies and equipment. The | regulars have been here since the 14th | and had most of their equipment in camp by the time the Arizona troops | arrived, so most of the freight brought over today was for the N. G. A | All the regulars are high in their | praise of the appearance of the Arl-
 zona camp.
 | "From it's appearance you could not | tell this from a regular camp said | Sergeant Smith of the Eighth cavalry. las he sighted down Company B's line of tenth 'I have seen dozens of na-
 tional guard camps. but this beats them all Your men seem to know how
 to put up a camp. And they are ex- traordinarily willing and intelligent lg1rardsmen The officers have only to l give an order to have it obeyed, and l obeyed properly. The men themselves are high class soldiers and they have
 an unusually hlgh class body of off | cers."
 Major F. R. Day has been assigned
 to the First Arizona infantry as an in structor. At lunch he made short | address to the officers.
 l q have no fault to find with your 1 camp" he said. Tt fully meets with my approval. It compares favorably | with any camp that I ever saw put up | in such short space of time" | Last night seemed extremely cold to | the southern Arizona boys and when they arose this morning the chill air | caused them to shiver in their khakls. | The day, however, has been very pleas ant indeed. This afternoon bedtick was issued to each man and hay was supplied to fill them, so all are sure
 to sleep warm
 | Company B has forty-twO men and l three officers. Company A, also or 1 Phoenix, has the same number of men and two officers, but nine Company F. boys from Prescott, are included in | the forty-two. The other companies 1 have about the same number. | The Arizona and New Mexico sol Idiers will be the only national guards men in this camp. New Mexico will arrive Monday. California does not send her troops to Atascadero until october 1.
