l'iajor Wright Sends husky
Troopers to Families to Help
With Harvest

Twenty members of Co. H, stationed
at Fort Lincoln. have been given a
furlough by Major Wright to permit
them to return home and assist with
the harvest All are farmer boys
whose place at home could not well be
filled, and they appreciate the Oppor-
tunity to get out and earn little eX-
ira money. They are ready. Of course,
to return to the fort on a moments
notice should the orders. now expect
ed hourly, come for entrainment for
Palo Alto.
Touting orders have been forward
ed to all company commanders Of the
two North Dakota regiments by o. +.
OhIsen, representing the American
Railway association, and in charge of
the transportation Of North Dakota
national guard. These orders call for
departure from company stations for
Palo Alto. with no mobilization at
Fort Lincoln or elsewhere in the state.
That the state guard will soon move
is thought to be indicated by the fact
that the war department has practical
iy abandoned all plans for the mObili
7ation of the first contingent of the
draft army Sept 5. All orders cover
ing the movement of the draft army
have been cancelled on the grounds
that all of the railroads spare equip
ment probably will be monOpOized on
the date originally specified with the
movement of the national guardsmen,
or that it could not be returned from
such distant points as Palo Alto, Dem,
ing, n. NJ, or Charlotte, S. C., in time
to accommodate the drafted men on
Sept. ). In spite Of recent reports
that North Dakota troops might go
either to Deming or Charlotte, the i'm
preston locally still is that Palo Alto
will be their destination.
Capt. Warren A. Stickley of the
uuartermaster corps writes from
Camp McClelland. Anniston Ala. that
he has been made master Of transror'
tation there and has assumed charge
of handling the hundreds of workmen
and the vast amounts of supplies to
and from the site of the great can
tonment, which is some distance from
the city.
