At 7 o'clock in the evening the

tucked away in cars and bound
for the state Of Utah. The com
mand arrived at Ogden this morn

The order to move company +
came as q surprise. Officers and
enlisted men expected TO be held
here during the summer and as
a result careful preparation had
been made to establish more per
mancnt company camp. Tents
had been boarded and made Sc
cure against the cold weather,
wind aud rain and other perma-
ncnt features added. To tear
down the tents as they had been
Installed, pack the equipment,
