It has been found necessary to post
pone the date of the company competi
tion drill, for the prize of a- silk regi
aiental flagr, rmtil a week from next
Tuesday. It was found impracticable
that the drill should be held in a hall,
50 the' securing of a parade ground
uiitable for regimental, battalion and
brigade, as well as company, drills, was
decided upon.
A place has been secured. It is cen
tral and is splendidly adapted to the
ourposethe wide stretch of green
tv-hich faces 4he new Arm orv building
in Kenwood Boulevard. It is level, dry
md turfed, and affords all the room
that is wanted*.

Good Work. Boys.
The drills this week were, on a whole,
revy commendable, and with only one
or two exceptions tho progress is very
gratifying. But don't let up. The
best motto I know of 'for the present
pircumstances is. "Never let up." The
facilngs were fairly well done, the
mashing and the squad movements,
^^wi^h. few exceptions, very good.
ISow, in those squad movements,
i evjfryone must keep, his,interval going
around the pivot. Just as sure as the
eaglets in the squad ioin in toward the
piVot. there will be a gar between
squads equal to all the intervals, or
sixteen inches.
This necessitates men crowding over
after -getting in line and spoiling the
_.^_whole formation. This is a common
fault with*all tho companies and a very
useless one, makiug the drill ragged

counts from the command march to the
time the squads reach their place
again.
Again, must speak of the salutes.
This must be absolutely done properly.
No halfway business will pass. Tho
salute is given by coming to the "at-
tention" at six paces and bi-inging the
hand up to the head smartly and down
again, and again saluting after talk

Now as to the guns. Each company
will have a company chest which wiil
be brought over^ to the grounds drill
nights and the guns taken out. They
will be returned after drill. This will
be the case or a building will be used
for guns entirely. The guns will per
haps not be given out until after tho
Decoration Bay^. parade, as it will be
necessary to use all energy toward a
favorable showing on that day and since
the gun drill'will somewhat upset the
foot movements, it does not look ad^
visable to start the manual now.
The legging* have arrived and many
of the cadcf,s nave obtained them. This
completes the natty appearance of tho
young soldiers, all that remains now is
to finish up .the' appearance of the
whole company by having each com
pany completely in uniform.
As to the cjompetitive company drill
Tuesday, May 8, it is expected that a
number of Fort Snelling officers will
attend, as they are much interested in
the progress of the work and it needs
an impartial judge to decide on the
work.
The marking-will be on a percentage
basis, so much far the number of uni-,
forms, so much for drill, for appearance
and carriage.

The recruiting office is open every
day from 4 to 6 and all boys who are
entitled to uniforms can get them at
that time. Also all boys who desire to
join may do so then or report at any
'company. One thing has taken up,
more valuable time and done less good
than anything we do is slowness in
calling the roll. Until the last few
drills it has taken fifteen to twenty
minutes to call roll. From now on the
roll will be called in the following man
ner: Each cadet will be given a num
ber. Then the first sergeant will give
the command, "Call Koll." .Number 1
will then start, "One," number 2t
"two,"etc. Then if any member is
absent the first sergeant will, call. his.
number and. put it down on' a slip of
paper and the rest of the cadets "will
go on calling their numbers. -"The-ifirst"
sergeant will then get his roll and put
"absences" after the numbers he has
had to call.
Last week I spoke of vim and dash.
I have seen all this realized' flind this
week. I want to ask that we keep, up
and along with the life of the sdrill,,
every man and squad of men must aim
for accuracy. It will not do any mo.ro
four- some men in a squad to be alex.fc
and" 'jwatching the movements and
others' sleeping. This is the cause of
ragged drill and the cause of inaccu^'
racy. Every man must be on the alerts

doing their duty either in getting uni

a
Washington, April 28.Members'-of
the senate were disappointed today
because the expected clash between
Senators Spooner and La Follette was
averted by a parliamentary move on
the part of Senator McCumber of North
Dakota and Mr. Spooner himself.
On Thursday Senator Spooner had
the senate reconsider an amendment to
the Indian appropriation bill which
had been adopted, and which provided
for payment to allottees in Wisconsin
and Minnesota of -a}l. moneys, due .tbem
on account of timber cut from, their
allotments.
This money is deposited in national
banks and is in' hands of contractors,
who are all bonded, and are paying 2
and 2 per cent interest. The prin
cipal being paid to the Indians at the
rate of $10 a month, but Senator L.a
Follette believes that it should be paid
to. them in a lump sum, and the anjKnd:
ment in question was put in the at
his request. There was also included i
in it a proposition, favored by Senator
Clapp, to have money derived from
the sale of inherited land paid to the
heirs in a lump and not in monthty
instalments.
Senator McCumber attacked the lat
ter part of the amendment, and after
'some- discussion, moved to strike it
out on a point of order. Thereupon
iMi. Spooner made the same point oil
the La Follette' proposition. Both
points were sustained by the chair and
the whole amendment went out of. the
After it had been disposed of Sen
ator La Follette went over to Mr.
Spooner's desk and engaged bran ani
mated conversation, which lasted nearly
half an hour.
The annual meeting of the Tri-State
Grain Dealers' association will be held
at Minneapolis,. Minn., May .31 and

the following question here:
"Resolved, That 'municipal owner

The team from Missouri was com
posed of Miss Irma Matthews, C. R.

the affirmative of the same question.
Missouri, however, turned the tables
by winning the decision.
