OVER 70 FROM
 VALLEY READY
 FUR TRAINING

"I am certainly delighted with the spirit manifested by the men and young men of Phoenix" said Major William C. Rogers last evening, after having spent the entire day examining appli- cants for admission to the officers training camp to be held at the Pre- sidiO San Francisco.
 Another thing which l like about Phoenix, is the delightful reception have had here. They told me when l came up here | would not like the place. but 1 have been agreeably sur prised ] had been in hopes I could remain here for some time. but my orders, received by wire, force me to leave as soon as possible to rej0in my regiment"
 The fun numDer ot young men ap plying for entrance into the officers reserve corps passed the 70 mark yes terday. There was not the rush of the day before, but it was enough to keep his assistants busy.
 Major Rogers will leave this evening unless he receives orders to the con- trary. for Fort Bliss at Fl Paso, where he will go before the examining board for promotion to the grade of lieuten ant colonel He received the welcome news yesterday afternoon that he had been rec 1mmended for examination.
 The applications of those who have applied to Major Rogers have all been forwarded to both the commanding general of the Southern department and that of the Western department. Major Rogers expects that the successful ap- plicants will be notified either person. ally or through the papers on or shortly after the eighth of this month.
 He received many queries yesterday as to how many applicants would be sent to the Presidio, but it is impos sible for him to answer one way or the other. It is entirely up to the authorities at the Presidio.
 Major Rogers will probably not re- turn to Phoenix. In his absence he will designate Col. Jas. H. McClintock to take charge of the affairs connected with the applications. Only those ap- plications received up to and including last night, will be acted up for the present camp.
 Major Rogers has encouraged all those who do not find it possible to apply for the present camp to put in applications for the camp to be held probably in three months.
 Upon his arrival in Fl Paso, Major Rogers will immediately secure all in- formation possible from district head quarters and wire instructions to Col onel McClintock.
