Deming Gets A Guard Camp
(BY II. S. H.)

/ CONGRATULATIONS to Deming on being designated
X for the location of national guard camp. Demng
- wanted it and made the right kind of showing tt
get It The selection made the ground Of military
desabty alone and the guardsmen who train at Demne
viii be well cared for both by the army and by the people
of Deming.
In quarters locally there is an erroneous impress
sion that the designation of Deng for national guard
camp means that FL Paso loses does not The selection
of Deming depriyes FL Paso of nothing 1t has nothing
whatever to do with the designation of this city.
The plan Of the department, as originally drawn
called for 80 canonment 6 for the national guard 6
for the national army Of the national guard canton
ments, be located in Arizona in New Mexico
and Texas of the Pecos An army board headed
by Brg Gen Henry A Greene made tour of investiga-
ton of possible locations visiting FL Paso various towns
New Mexico, and a number also in Arizona.
As result of the boards recommendation FL Paso was
designated for of the cantonments. Then it
nounced by the department that because of lack Of
time materials labor the erection of environments
and the lack also of sufficient appropriation for the
pense the number of environments would be reduced to
These IS would be for the national army while the
guard camps would be tent camps.
Thus stands at this writing Demng been selected
for the national guard camp which the department all along
puPosed establishing somewhere in the state In another
day or announcement probably will be issued stating
that Tucson Phoenix Ar has been selected for the
guard camp to be established in Arizona.
So far known here the selection of FL Paso
ing place national guardsmen still stands the desqna
ton having not been revoked.
As for Deming, that viii troops than ever
before In its life Each camp is to house full division.
Each division will contain about 10000 men, auxia1es
Guided. That will amount to bringing city to Deming
