Nebraska Boys at Fort Demlng
The Fourth Nebraska was welcomed
by some typical Now Mexican weath
er on Its first evening In camp at
Demlng, when a terrific Bandstorm
swept down upon the camp about 5
o'clock and threatened to destroy the
tents which had been hastily set up
during the afternoon. The wind was
followed by a rainstorm which set
tled the dust and cooled things off
until some of them were seeking more
blankets by morning.
The camp for a few hours looked
like a mining camp with most of the
boys wielding axes, shovels nnd picks
in a grand clean up of company streets
nnd In a short time these thorough
fares wero graded, smoothed and
drained until they would do credit to
any city.
There is no complaint to he heard
regarding the location of the canton
ment and everyone is anxious to start
with the real training. Company C
was the only company that drilled the
first morning, Captain KIrschner put
tlug his men through three hours of
exercise in the manual.
Standing of Medical Students In Draft
A ruling from Provost General
Crowder with regard to the standing
of medical students when they appear
before the exemption boards has been
received by the governor. The ruling
states that medical students or grad
uates of recognized medical colleges
can enlist In the medical reserve corps
and may claim exemption on that ac
count. If the men enlist in the reserve
they are liable to call for active serv
ice. Tho opinion at tho governor's
office is that the student can enlist in
the reserve medical corps after he has
been drafted. Only one man claiming
exemption on account of being a med
ical student has been acted upon by
tho district board to date and in this
case tho claim was denied. It is not
known whether the board will rave to
reconsider this case.
Mustering in Reserve Companies.
Adjutant General Steele has repeat
odly discouraged tho request of small
towns for national guard reserve com
panies on the grounds that thoy

ever, Springfield, a small town of
about flvo hundred people or less, in
Sarpy county, and about twenty miles
from Omaha, went nhcad nnd has
onouRh men signed up to muster in.
Major Abbott of Omaha will muster
In this company. The adjutant gon
oral will go to Newman Grove In a few
days to muster in another company
of tho Soventh regiment which will
mnke a total of eight companies mus
tored in, and leaving only two more to
ho organized before tho regiment is
fully recruited.
Tho food administration grain cor
porntlon formed to net In behalf of the
fodoral government, has filed articles
of Incorporation with tho secretary of
state. Charles T. Neal has been ap
pointed ngent of tho corporation to
buy and distrlbuto grain in its behalf.
"Prospects for tho national guard re
serve aro booming," Is tho way Adju
tant General Steele expressed his im
pression of tho work in organizing the
guard reserve whon ho returned from
a trip made in tho interests of tho
reserve in tho western part of tho
state. Six companies havo now been
completed nnd tho towns furnishing
the men are certain of being represent
ed in tho Seventh regiment. Theso
towns nre: Sowawrd, Nebraska City,
Beatrice, Omaha (two companies),
Lincoln. Fourteen towns aro clamor
ing tor tho remaining companies.
Leased More Stato Mineral Lands.
The state board of educational lands
and funds has issued a second batcb
of mineral leases on state lands. The
lessees aro said to bo seeking oil and
nothing else. Thoy includo tho Prairie
Oil & Gas company of Indopondenco,
Kas., which Is said to bo proparlng to

hoard has leased one or two tracts of
land In Dawes county to Edwin D.
Crltos bt Chadron and prospecting is
supposed to havo already been started,
but no royalties for tho stato have
yet been reported by the lessees.
