During the week the pastoral scene was changed almost magically and Thursday it represented a scene of intense but or derly activity.
 A strip of forest, 100 yards wide by 400 yards long has been cleared on the side Of Blue Mountain This work was done within the past week. The clearing was made so that targets may be placed there for machine gun practice. The guns will be placed on one of the hills alongside the camp-exactly 1000 yards away. But by far the most startling trans formation of the quiet farm into busy army post has been the erection of the buildings A squad of carpenters arrived in the city last Saturday They did not begin work until Monday morning, with the arrival of lumber on the ground. The administration building will be completed by noon Friday and Major Dulin will move into it Friday night.
