[Order No. 7.] 
Camp Davis, June 13, 1853. 
For purposes of convenience in detailing guards, and to give a military organization to the 
entire expedition, the following gentlemen are appointed to the grade of lieutenant: Isaac T. 
Osgood, J. M. Stanley, A. W. Tinkham, F. W. Lander, A. Kemenyi, G-. W. Stevens, John 
Lambert. 
The following assimilated to the grade of non-commissioned officers: Joseph F. Moffett, 
James Doty, James Evelyn, James Gear, B. F. Kendall, Thomas Adams, M. Strobel, Yekel- 
foleusy, Simpson, Higgins, E. Evans. 
The remainder will be detailed with artificers, and privates of sappers and miners, and pri¬ 
vates of dragoons. 
The medical (Dr. Sucldey’s) position is assimilated to that of an assistant surgeon in the 
army, and dates from the period of his joining the expedition. 
The parties organized under the several chiefs will, on coming together, preserve their dis¬ 
tinctive organization ; the chief of the expedition—in his absence the senior officer present— 
regulating the general mode of encampment, police, and supervising the details of guard. The 
principle of the foregoing encampment must be complied with. 
It is considered of great consequence that the several trains should not be intermingled; and 
the dragoons attached to the several parties will continue with them, camping and working with 
them, receiving their orders only from their particular chiefs, even when the whole force is 
brought together. 
ISAAC I. STEVENS, 
Governor of Washington Territory , in Command of Expedition.
