which some individual described
as "Coxey's army" But 1t was
not done in derision, for every
one cheered.
In Championship Form.
The university of Washington
company was good bunch of
soldiers to look upon. 1t car
ried the hopes of Coach Dobie's
dream of another football cham
pionship. Four of his regulars
went to bed last night on the
wet prairie hoping for Mexico.
Next to Maj. Moss, Capt. Ross,
adjutant to Col. Inglis, has more
to do than the men of three COM
panies put together. He is the
mouthpiece of the commanding
officer, and through him all or
ders are given.
He Is king. He is in direct
communication with Adjt. Gen.
Thompson by long distance tele-
phone. His headquarters might
be taken for the outer office of
some large corporation. He left
war bride of some eight or ten
days standing to go to war.
Camp Town Arises.
In few moments after de-
training, the different companies
were stationed in order of their
rank. And the hustle that fol-
lowed! 1t seemed but a very
few minutes before a town of
brown tents had sprung up.
Rockies were cutting wood.
Fires were built in the mess
ranges and the boiled spuds
started on their way.
Shortly after five the train
from east of the mountains pull
ed in and the business of MAX
ing camp was repeated.
Col. lnglis said he had no idea
when the troops would leave for
the border. Several, however,
are inclined to believe that they
will be on their way by Wednes-
day night.
The fact that the command
ing officers are losing no time in
mastering in their troops is
thought to be the best evidence
that they may be called any
minute.
First Shot of TOxine.
Ross Pendleton, son of an
Everett millionaire logger, and
Larry Martin, former coach of
the University OF Washington
track team, are two of the new
est recruits in Troop B.
Private Metcalf, who worked
the greater part of day and the
entire night In trucking camp
equipment from a boxcar to the
arsenal, said he had enlisted to
carry a gun and not do long
shoremen' work.
Sore shoulders troubled many.
The Seattle contingent were
given a shot of typhoid and pneu-
monia toxine. One in each arm.
And the tough part of the whole
proposition is the fact We have
to take two more Shots" high
privates say.
Drilling Today.
Drilling started today, and
work such as has never been
seen at any previous militia
camp took place on the shores
OF American lake. The life of
the recruits will he full.
The European war gave
the world liquid fire and as
phyxiating gas as something
new. The American lake
troops will take brown gog-
giles and moustaches to the
border as their share of the
ordinary. Hair ON the upper
lip is more In demand now
than uniforms.

v|ADuCT IS COMPLETED
Railroad Trains Now Pass Over
Telegraph Road Crossing
Instead Of OH Grade

The railroad viaduct over Telegraph
Road, in Fairfax county, a short dis
tance west Of the present city limits,
has been completed, and within u
few days will be used by the many
persons residing in the lower sec
tion of the county, as well as by the
many automobilists who make runs
in that section Of the country. The
road leading from West End to the
yiaduct has been completed, hut il
will not be in condition for vehicles
until several days shall have passed.
The building Of the viaduct over
this highway eliminates menace to
life and limb which has existed for
over three score years. In the early
part of the fifties and for some time
after the close Of thecivil W. tie
there was but one track across. this
road. and but two or three trains
passed over itduring the day. In the
carly part of the seventies the Alex
andria and Fredericksburg (now the
Washington Southern railway was
constructed, which called for another
track. These have been gradually
augmented until now about dozen
cross the Telegraph Road.
At present many trains pass and re
pass. running in both directions, and
the danger of crossing in vehicles Ul
on foot has grown with the increa%c
of the railroads business.
A number of horrible accidents have
of late years occurred in this darGcr
zone, and the anxiety which eXl5le;
resulted in an appeal to the Stat,
CORPORATION Commission. That body
took action, though for time noth-
ing concrete was accomplished. but
eventually the railway companies de-
tcrmined to construct the viaduct. an,!
people residing in Alexandria and
Fairfax will experience no little -
lief when they realize they can pass
and repass while the railway trains
narmlessly roar over their heads.
