Co. G has now been recruiting until
there are about so members. The
company was to have been mustered
out on account of lack of interest in
the organization. At that time there
were only Is men enlisted, altogether
too few to form a. militia company.
They are meeting regularly for target
practice and drill. New shipments of
canteens and suits have recently been
received. There is still some doubt
as to whether the militia will be allow
ed to go to San Francisco this summer
or not. If so, the boys would go in
June. Special rates could be secured
from the Northern Pacific through to
the coast and a government transport
could convey the troops down the
coast to San Francisco. If the trip is
permitted, it will be a big thing for
the boys.
