The Administration ought to be able
to take a comfortable rest. 1t has
turned pretty much everything over
to commissions from the Mexican
question to the tariff. The talent for
Sinking responsibilities comes handy
sometimes.

that the total acreage of the two
entries shall not exceed 320 acres
and both tracts must be designa-
ted and subject to 32O acre filing.

try is required in ali cases. An
entcyman whose original home
stead entry contains 16O acres
and who has also a desert claim
OF l6O acres is also entitled to the
100 acre additional but if his

A Letter From the Front

n LetteT from the front
The following interesting let-
ter was received this week by e.
M. Reese from Halle Campbell.
one Of the Ekalaka boys who is
down on the border within shoot
ing distance of the greasers:-
Douglas, Ariz.
July II, 1916
Friend Mel:-
We are not very busy this pm.
the company having just under
gone an inoculation for typhoid
fever, malaria, etc. which is the
third one we have taken, and so
will try and write few lines.
AS you will see we are stationed
at Douglas, Ariz. which is about
25O miles southwest Of Ell Paso
and about 100 miles southwest Of
Columbus, N. M. where the big
raid took place. We came thru
both those places on the way to
our present camp and are now
but one-half Of a mile from the
border. There has been several
days when we could see Mexi-
can flag waving at a distance of
about a mile. We landed here
about 10 days ago in what ap-
peared to be the most desolate
iookinp country had ever met
up with. The entire regiment
have been very busy since then
now have got the mesquite, etc.
grubhed out, ttreets all graded,
bitches and sewers dug and the
water pipes laid until one would
not know it was the same place.
We have not done as much drill
ing as should have been done on
account of so much other work
that was necessary first.
Everything is getting regulat-
ed and we will probably put in
about four hours drilling a day
from now on except when we go
out on patrol, that is patroling
the border. Our company ex
poets to be called out the latter
part of this week, when we will
be out there a week and then will
come back to camp for a time
where we will drill PRACTICAL.
every day until our turn to 90
out again. There is supposed t.
be about $4,000 troops stationed
at Douglas, our camp however j:
a half mile or more from any
other. All troops are drilling
and preparing for trouble and il
worst comes to worst they ought
to be in good shape to right ove1
the line into Mexico in short
time. The Montana Regiment is
said to be one of the best looking
physically that has arrived or
the border and they are expect
ing to mount about 40 per cent of
our regiment which will probably
be mostly for patrol work along
the Mexican line.
The Captain has promised to
put me with the mounted as soon
as they this and | expect to take
advantage of it.
Your friend,
Halle Campbell
