 CAMP HUNT, Whipple Barracks. July 19-All was agOg in camp today in anticipation of the coming of Gov ernor George w. P. Hunt, comman- der chief of the National Guard of Arizona. The governor is expected tc arrive after midnight tonight and spend the remainder of the night in camp. His quarters have been made ready for him. His tent stands at the head of Officers Row and con tains only the regulation army cot, camp chair and table. Before it spreads the broad parade grounds of Whipple, backed by the historic and everlasting hills of Yavapai. Within twenty feet stands the old red building originally the headquarters of General Crook, but now the re- gimental canteen.
 Just how long Governor Hunt will remain here is not known, but he expressed himself recently as fully intending to spend at least three days in reviewing the troops, inspecting the camp and becoming better ac- quainted with the individual mem Eers Of the various companies.
 Bright and early this morning the companies were out going through their regular drills. This was fol- lowed by squad work and individual work. The camp had settled down to the regular life and the men all ready begin to realize the benefit U be derived from close attention to the instruction.
 Two men reported off duty this morning on account of sickness, but rq1 neither was suffering from more than temporary indisposition.
 The feature of the day was the re- gimental drill in the afternoon on the old parade grounds. The entire regiment passed in review before First Lieutenant R. D. La Garde, L. $. A, Col. Tuthiu and Majors DonSersley and Grinstead and Ad- jutant CoykendalI. The regiment was headed by the Industrial School Band of sixteen pieces and four tTumpetcrs, under the direction of Carl Gunkel. for twenty mine years a bandmaster in the regular army. The work of this musical organization is remarkable for many reasons, prIn- cipal among which are that it has been in existence less than four months and that none of it's members are over sixteen years old, the av- craze age being fourteen years. A concert was given this morning by the band which brought round after round of applause from officers and men.
 Even with the governor in camp on Sunday there will be no drills. Prob ably the only formation tomorrow will be the guard mount and the parade early in the evening. Out side of this it will be q day of rest The outlook is for a bright clear day
 The first Republicans arrived in camp this morning and although they were of the previous day they went like hotcakes. Three hours lat CT another batch of todays papers arrived and they too were eagerly

 Captain Earl Hill. of Company E was officer of the day today with his entire company on guard duty and First Lieut.. La Tourette as officer of the guard. Company B was re- lieved at 1 o'clock by Company c ot Tempe and will stand guard for twenty-four hours.
 The heavy rain of yesterday did little damage and the ground was reasonably dry today, particularly in the company streets and upon the parade ground.
 Last night was a noisy one in camp at least until midnight. Orders had been issued that none were to leave camp without permission. Be- fore the order had reached the men scores of them had gone to town. When they returned they were con- fronted by the guard demanding their permits, the guard called the corporal. The calling of the corporal was started by the man at the par ticular post where the culprit was being held and was then taken up by the other men on guard until the corporal arrived. Finally the commander issued orders for the abatement of the calls and there was silence in camp thereafter.
 If the 1913 encampment of the National Guard of Arizona, accom- plishes nothing else it is pretty cer- tain at least to have the distinction of having given the one touch ne- cessary to bring about the reorSani zation of Company E, once the pride of Prescott and one of the strongest and best trained organizations in the territory or state To the spirit
