(By James c. Simpson,
 CAMP HUNT CWhippIe Barracks), July 21.-Governor George w. r Hunt, chief of the Ma l tional Guard of Arizona. reduced him. 1 self to the ranks today and messed with the men. At the mess, no dis 1 tinction was made for him, unless i being permitted to sit astraddle of q boy in lieu of wedging his way to the table and sitting upon a narrow i board, be considered a distinction. That the governor enjoyed the expe- riencc could not be doubted when the manner in which he took hold' was noted. From clean tin pan, which sometimes serves the purpose of a skillet, he ate fried ham and German fried potatoes at breakfast with Co.
 l, and at noon partOok heartily of
 roast beef and potatoes with Go. B.
 Go. I, under Captain Robinson of
 Flagstaff, has more Co. 4 men in it
 than l men. First Lieutenant Price
 assisted Captain Robinson in seeing
 that the distinguished private had
 enough to eat for breakfast, while
 Captain Earl Hill, First Lieutenant La Tourette and Second Lieutenant Pickett were on hand at the noon mess.
 After day spent in making the acquaintance of as many men as possible in camp. watching the com pany and squad drills, chatting with the non commissioned officers and telling stories to the boys of the h. dustrial School band in exchange for their concert, the governor boarded the evening train for Phoenix. And just before he left the executive an 117r 1-1+ n with his little outing he would re- turn on Friday and remain until the end of encampment, probably return ing with the boys on the special troop train, leaving here late Sunday afternoon.
 The heavy rain which fell last night did not make the parade grounds or the company streets one bit the worse for work, stiff breeze which prevailed for time drying the ground before the reveille. As usual all the companies indulged in fifteen minutes Butts manual calesthenic drills and disciplinary exercises Then followed mess, after which there was a continuous round of drilling until noon. The companies were formed in various sections of the grounds and under the direction of First Lieuten- cli4t h. L. l-dNTolI N6, O Eo <A-y IlIolA ut went through a thou sand and one different movements. In the afternoon for the first time during the cncampment there was extended order of drilling with non commissioned officers. These drills were also under the direction of Lieu tenant LaGarde.
 While Lieutenant LaGarde was busy with the various companies, First Lieutenant L. K. Sterling. U- :. A., r-inStructOr, took the members of Co. B and instructed them in guard duty. First he made rounds of the posts, surprising the men on guard and being halted. He made the individual members go through the required challenging, and where the guard was uninformed, indicated to him the proper method of per forming the work to which he was assigned at that time. In the after noon Lieutenant Sterling took the en- tire company, with the exception of those actually on post, and gave them a long talk on the various duties which might fall to a company on guard duty.
 Colonel Tuthiu announced this that from this time on until the end of the encampment the men might expect hard work. All the men have now become accustomed to camp life, have experienced their first due to change of diet and manner of living. They have had enough foot work so that tender feet will not now be known. And now. according to the colonel, will be able to carry out the heavier work attendant upon such an encampment.
 It is now planned ill the near fu- LUre to call out the entire regiment Tor a hike to Camp Brodie, six miles away. This will probably require the pest part of day, and will give many their first glance of the big file range.
 Saturday afternoon will likely be given over to field day sports. There will be running and jumping con- ests, ball throwing and other athIet cs. It is also possible there will be | ball game on that day between se- ected teams from different compa- lies.
