The coast artillery band, a musical organization of national reputation, repu-tation, is expected to leave Monterey for Salt Lake within the coming week. Its presence here is expected to promote recruiting considerably. Arrangements were made yesterday for a meeting in Ogden on Tuesday, at which E. G.

So far Ogden has enrolled but four in the camp. Tuesday's Tues-day's meeting is to be held at the county coun-ty building and present indications point to a large gathering. With (only fifteen days left before the camp will be in actual operation, preliminary plans are being pushed at Fort Douglas, where the recruits will be instructed in things military.
