WATER SHORTAGE AT FORT HUACHUCAMAY
FORCE SOLDIERS OF THE 18TH INFANTRY TO
LOCATE IN NOGALES FOR SEVERAL MONTHS
Commanding Officer At Huachuca Advised That
Camp Little Can Accommodate One Thousand
Men; Water Shortage Acute

Because Of a water shortage at
Fort Huachuca-onc that is becom-
ing more acute daily-there is
possibility that one or two battalions
of the 25th Infantry stationed at the
fort may come to Nogales to spend
several months until such time as
the water supply is replenished by
rains this summer or fall or SHOWS
this winter.
The commanding officer at
Fort Huachuca, in long dis
tance phone call Tuesday from
the Nogales Chamber of Com
merce, was advised by E. X.
Cumming that the barracks for
merly housing the regiment at
Camp Stephen ID. Little, until
a few years ago are still intact
and can accommodate 1000
men.
The commanding officer is said
to have told Cumming that should
it become necessary to move the
troops he would want them kept as
close to the fort as possible on &C
count of the fire hazard. He is un-
derstood to have also said he would
keep in mind the information that
Accommodations are available at
Camp Little.
First reports that the regiment
may have to find another location
until the water shortage is relieved
were brought here by soldiers visit
ing Nogales. They said the situa-
ton has become so acute that each
soldier now is limited to one bath
weekly to conserve water and that
they are under orders to be ready
to move on 24-hour notice.
The soldiers also declared that ac-
cording to gossip about the fort one
battalion will be moved to Nogales
and one to Flagstaff. However, be-
cause of the great distance to Flag
staff and the fact that the Arizona
National Guard will hold its annual
encampment at Fort Tuthill, Flag
staff. beginning the latter part OF
next week, it is doubtful that any
of the troops would be sent to the
Flagstaff area.
A number of colored women, most
of them wives of soldiers at Hua-
chuca, are said to have been here
Yesterday looking for living quar-
ters in expectation the troops may
be moved here.
