When the Twenty second Infantry leaves this point there will be approximately twen- ty-eight enlisted men left here to carry on the construction work and care for the stations on the telegraph line. They will later be relieved by the incoming troops and will leave at once for the outside en route to Fort Sam Houston, Texas.
 Brig. Gen. M. P. Maus, of the depart ment of the Columbia, is expected to arrive at this post some time this sum- mer to make his annual inspection.
 The new gymnasium, now under con- struction at the post, is progressing with marked rapidity and in short time will be the finest building in this part of the country. There will be full gymna- sium outfit and stage.
 The annual target practice is now at hand and the men of the garrison are all busy. They are now engaged in the instruction practice, but will soon finish that. When the instruction practice is finished they will start on the regular course. It is reported that the men are doing fine work.

gaze shields the beloved image Of n
