NAME APPROPRIATE

Camp Pike is named for Gen. Zebulon Pike of Pike's Peak fame. The name is singularly appropriate for the area which this cantonment serves. Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana and Mississippi, as General Pike was one of the first ex- plorers of the Louisiana purchase, which includes these states. The area embraced by the cantonment grounds proper include 5000 acres. which was pre- sented to the United States by the Llr- tie Rock Board of Commerce as an in ducement for the establishment of the cantonment here
 Tn addition to this tract a 10,O00-acre rectangle has been leased for use as a maneuvering ground. This tract includes a natural amphitheatre which is said to bo an ideal artillery range, and troops out on practice hikes can find prac- ucally every character of terrain inn agipable for practical instruction. The cantonment is some eight miles east or Little Rock, and is reached bv a branch line of the Missouri Pacific railroad, which was constructed after operations began by the building forces
 Also a macadam road extends from the suburbs of Argenta to the canton nent, and through Argenta. which is just across the er~from Little Rock, the route is over concrete highway. Oth- CT roads are being laid out by the state highway department, but at present all traffic passes over a single road.
 TRAFFIC IS DENSE
 Nowhere in the state. and probably in few places in the south is traffic so dense as on the cantonment pike. A constant stream of vehicles. most or them motors, pass in both directions from early morning until dark. It is estimated that more than 2ooo cars alone

 rooms on the first floor and sleeping
 quarters above. Separate rooms are pro- vded for sergeant majors and mess ser geants. Each company will occupy a
 single building. Company officers will
 be qlartered In battalion officers build ings. one-story structures, where the
 majors will have battalion headquarters.
 The ~egimental headquarters building is similar to the company barrack building but much smaller. Headquarters and the coionePs quarters will occupy the lower
 floor, and regmental staff officers will
 have quarters in the upper story. Be-
 tween each company barracks is bath and lavatory with 10 shower baths and
 separate showers are erected for officers
 use.
 Because of the fact that objections
 were originally made against locating the
 cantonment here because of the alleged prevalence of malaria, a constant super
 vision of mosquito breeding places is made. and all ditches have been straight
 ened, cleared and oiled, and all old wells
 filled in. About 25 messes are now op-
 erated for the use of worKmen, and gar bage removal Is made twice daily. A
 commodious hospital Is now operated in
 one of the completed barracks, pending the completion of the base hospital and an average of 200 cases are treated daily. Most of these are minor accidents, such as smashed tnumDS ana cut fingers, dl- though there have beer d few fractures from workmen falling from buildings. However, the construction period has been singularly devoid of serious acci- dents and not casualty has been re- ported
 CONDITIONS ARE PERFECT Lieut.. Col. J. H. White. chief sani- tary inspector of the southeastern de- partment, who visited Camp Pike Tues day said that conditions are perfect. considering the incompleted work, and
 that when the programme laid out by the medical officers is carried into effect with the arrival of the first increments,
 Camp Pike will be one of the healthest spots in the south. Unusual precautions have been taken to prevent ccmmunica
 ble diseases. All sleeping and eating
 rooms have been screened and all work
 men or other employees have been vac-
 cinated against typhoid and smallpox. Major General Sturgis who will con-

RIVERS UP, AUTOS
WILL HAVE TROUBLE
IN GETTING ACROSS

Automobiles who are planning a

staying in the Salt River valley There
is only one river leading to the outside
world which is passable At Florence
1t is possible to cross the ella river by
having the machine loaded on a wagon
and hauled across by a team.
Every river in this district is up and
going higher. 1t was stated yesterday
at the county engineers office that the
New river, Aqua Fria and ella are all
impossible.
Near Cashion an attempt was made
yesterday to cross the ella, but the
results were disastrous 1t may be
possible to haul a machine across some
of the various fords, but the undertak-
ing is both dangerous and extremely
expensive. 1t is not known how long
things will remain as they are. The
rivers will probably stay up for a few
weeks while the Roosevelt dam is
oVerflowing.
