The second CCC camp, which entrained at Deer River, Minnesota today, is scheduled to arrive in Seneca at 3:00 o'clock, Tuesday afternoon. The camp, said to number about 180 men, will arrive in its own special train over the Grand Island. It is understood the camp is composed mostly of Kansas young men. They will be transported to the camp by Winterscheidt trucks. No. 2 camp will find its quarters very neatly completed. Some carpenters this week will finish what remains to be done. The water is not yet connected for No. 2 but No. 2 camp probably can use No. 1's water supply for a few days. A gasoline driven pump was placed in the well house Saturday and by night water was pouring in to the tower tank at the rate of 20 gallons a minute. The boys had hot showers and shaving water for the first time Sunday morning. The pressure is all that could be desired.
