Army to teach officers tree telegraphy at Fort Leavenworth
Mat Geo Squier of California has left to assist Gen Bell as officers enroll in a new signal corps program. The War Department will open a school at Fort Leavenworth for army officers in September with Squier overseeing the course and Maj Gen George Bruner transferring from the signal corps. The program aims to broaden field training to include automobiling and telegraphy to improve rapid interunit communication. Extraneous experiments at Camp Atascadero are noted as precursors to this expansion.

Turkey Herding in California a Valley Livelihood
Special to the Sun from Corning California describes turkey herding in the Sacramento Valley as a livelihood for many families. Turkeys move in large drifts with shepherd dogs guiding crowds of birds from Shasta through Tehama Glen and Colusa counties. Corning shipped about $5 000 worth of birds before Thanksgiving. The article notes turkeys eat vast numbers of grasshoppers, aiding pest control, with a typical flock consuming large daily quantities and the practice described as a form of pastoral management rather than forced herding.
