Charlie Lee, the popular assistan,
cashier of the First National Bank
has been about the most busy mar
in this section. In addition to his
bank duties Charlie is also alderman,
the efficient secretary of the Volga
Commercial Club, secretary Of the
Fire Department, manager of the Ly.
ceum course, etc, etc, but this week
things have been moving faster than
ever. Early Monday morning a new
boy arrived at his home, Tuesday he
was registrar, and on Wednesday he
was called to serve on the jury, but
Judge Sherwood considered that
Charlie is just as busy as any farmer
and he excused him from jury duty.
1t is needless to say that Charlie has
been receiving congratulations right
and left over the arrival of the new
boy.

Amout 1000 pounds of bread was de-
livered yesterday.
Water has been piped to the camp
from distance of three miles at a
cost of about $4,000 Each company
has in addition to the kitchen supply
a shower bath for the use of the men.
Owing to the fact that there is d
strong undertow at the camp, the
men will not be allowed to go in
swimming there, but arrangements
have been made for the men to swim
at Haleiwa, which is little more
than a mile from the camp. Sanitary
regulations are being strictly enforc.
ed and the SQUADS began work at
once in making the camp as sanitary
as is possible.
Cavalry Troop Crack Organization
OF particular interest at the camp
is the cavalry troop which is station
ed at the Haleiwa end of the field
There are two officers and So men in
the company. Captain o. L. Sorenson
and Lieutenant Sam Parker are in
charge. The mounts were furnished

Messenger of the 4th Cavalry, who
has been with the company for a year
as instructor, is in camp with the
troop. .-
Kauai Has Big Battalion
The Kauai troops are stationed in
the next line under the command OF
Major Ernest Kopke. When the last
of the Kauai troops arrives at the
camp today the battalion will have a
complement of $40 men, which is the
largest in the camp. At present the
attendance is very close to the 100
per cent mark In the Kauai camp are
Captains Oliver, Smythe, Bush and
Cox. Lieutenant James Spalding, one
of the leading polo players of the is
lands, is in the group of officers.
Captain Gustav J. Gonser, who was
instructor on Kauai for a year, is in
structor for the End Regiment He
will not return to Kauai.
This morning the men were given
their first work with the school Of
the soldier Infantry work is being
carried through from the beginning
to the end, and drill and more drill
will be the slogan of the men who
have been called upon to instruct the
men, Owing to the fact that there
will be little time for amusement the
various companies have decided not
to stage a baseball series. Both the
Machine Gun company and Company
ID have strong baseball ssuads but at
present it looks like little chance for
games at the encampment.
Review on November %
Al review of the troops will be held
on November 20 in honor OF the con-
gressional party, which will visit the
camp on that day. 1t has been an
nounced that on the day of the
queens funeral four companies will
be sent in from camp as an honor
