Third-At Work on Range.
CBy Special Staff Corrsspondsnt.)

Camp Orell July 20, 1911.
The almost deserted valley about
two miles east of Orell was again
made a flourishing tent city Friday
morning. Company II, OF Hart
ford, was the first company Of
the Third to arrive in camp, L,
G, and NJ following. When the first
company arrived in sight the Third
Regiment Band, which has been play
ing for the First and Second, struck
up a lively tune that certainly sound
ed good to the boys of the Third.
Owing to the industrious work OF
the Second, there was not much
to be done on the Thirds arrival, as
the tents were pitched, stoves and
everything waiting for them to take
possession. Mess was ready about
eleven O'Clock and the hungry SOL
diers soon cleaned up.
There are many false reports be-
ing circulated about Camp Oneu. The
sanitary conditions here are splendid.
There is only one draw back TO the
camp and that is THE inability To get
the. water works in ordeT. The
ground is equipped with a splendid
bath ball but they can not pump
enough water to supply the showers
However, the State has furnished big
tubs and bath can be had by only
dipping the water from the barrels
into the tubs and jumping in.
