Review the Troops Tuesday,

camp LakeVloW, Lake ClCy,
Mimi, June 2S-The Second In
fantry Regiment, M. N. G. went
into camp here last week and
the regular routine is now in
fine working order. The tents
were all set as the First Regi-
ment had vacated the preceding
day.
The state troops arrived in
two sections, the first compris-
ing Companies B, c, D, E, M,
G, and |, reaching here on a Chi
NcagC & Northwestern special. A
later train brought Companies
A, F, H. X and L, together with
the machine gun and other
Equipment. The hospital corps
also arrived with the second in
stallment of troops. Some mem
beers of the regimental staff &C
companied the soldiers while
others came on later trains.
The troops will remain in
camp until the latter part of the
week and the work includes
marches, drills, tactical situa-
tions and the solving of daily
field problems.
Camp is DRY
One of the features of the
camp, which is a radical change
from former years, is the fact
that it is strictly "dry." No
canteens will be opened or run,
nor will the officers club be in
e> .dence, at least SO far as the
sale of Intoxicating liquors is
cor cerned. ;,
General duty, in regard to the
interior guard, has been cut
down to the minimum. A small
guard is mounted, but the stress
of the work this year is upon
practical field instruction.
Major Arthur Johnson, U. 5.
I A.. who has been On detached
service for the Minnesota mill
tia for number of years, has
been detailed again this year to
instruct the officers at the camp.
He has recently returned from
the Mexican border. Captain
Charles Danforth, also of the
regular army, is here as an in
! structor to the troops. Captain
'Dsnforth was at Vera Cruz dur
ing the Mexican trouble last
. year.
An unusually large number OF
men are with the regiment this
year. Company K of st. Peter
leads in the roster with 81 men
while Company A of New Ulm
is a close second with 65 men.
The competition ir marksman.
ship is remarkably keen. Most
( of the companies have last years
rife teams in their ranks ano
4 all are working hard to secure
\ the most coveted trophies. Botf
i tn. company and rifle shoots
will be run off during the life
of the camp.
n Regimental review Will not De
the order of the day this year
but battalion parades are the
feature. Regimental band con
certs by the Second Regiment
band of New Ulm are held ev
cry evening.

l Clemans conducted divine serv
