WORK HARD TO COMPLETE
BARRACKS AT FIT. RILEY

Y More material has been received
at Ft. Riley so that the construction
company can continue work. Some
idea of the mammoth job that is
involved in constructing the bar
racks may be gathered from the fol
lowing items which will go into the
constructions
Lumber, 1925 ears, or 26 million
feet; roofing nails, one freight car
entirely filled; crushed stone for
additional roads and streets, 500 to
500 carloads; roofing, $4,000 square
or sixty carloads; twenty carloads
Of nails and hardware; 100 carloads
OF tanks, heaters, stoves, ranges,
piping electrical materials, refrig-
orators and the like.
The soldiers will sleep in double
deck hunks. This will means more
than 10000 separate hunks, each
with it's mattress. 1t will take 1926
cars to merely transport the mat
tresses to the camp site. Approx
mately $50 carloads Of hospital
equipment will be needed at each
camp. There will be three carloads
Of screens and many carloads of
