significant that while they are eX-

barrier is thrown around the deacons

gests that TO this ministry women are
eligible equally with men. Besides,
there arc certain Scriptures which
seem positively TO teach that in the

male and female deacons.

PROFESSOR JAMES
DELIVERS ADDRESS
FOURTH USHERED IN BY
STIRRING SPEECH

The union patriotic exercises held
under the auspices or the Fourth
OF July committee last night at
Hippodrome were largely attend
ded and the audience listened with
interest to the address of Profess
sor George H. James of the uni
versity of Nevada. The exercises
we're a fitting prelude to the COM
ing big celebration of the coun-
try's natal day.
Fourth of July addresses,
sprinkled as they usually are with
highflown oratory, r usually try
ing on the nerves of impatient au-
diences but the orator of last
evenings exercises delivered a talk
. that was up to the minute in live
hnd interesting discussions of ma
ticnal and international current
events and retained the interest Of
his audience to the last word. He
gave to independence day its true
meaning in the light of modern
developments in world politics and
to his listeners, a thorough under
standing of the same.
The audience Joined in the sing
ing of patriotic songs and hymns
under the direction of choir leader
Walter Jenkinson and to the ac-
compartment of Mrs Gordon H

field band.

MILITARY CAMP
BEING PREPARED
CIVILIANS ATTENDING CANNOT
BE DRAFTED FOR SER
VICE IN MEXICO

SAN FRANCISCO, July 1.-The
United States army military train
ing camp for civilians will be hell
as scheduled at Monterey between
July 10 and August 5, nj matter
what. the developments in Mexi-
co may be before the date set for
the camps opening.
Those civilians who attend the
encampment will in no manner be
obligated to answer any call to
arms. The camp is to be used as
originally intended; to give men
of education such training in the
duties and responsibilities of COM
pany officers and non-commission-
ed officers that. if they yer see
fit to do so, they may go into
United States volunteer forces as
trained, instead of unframed, men
These two points-that the en-
campment is to be held on the
date specified no matter what
happens, and that it is solely to
fit men for voluntary service, are
points that the civil enrolment
committee for the camp, 204 Pine
street, this city, is anxious to bring
out in the most emphatic manner,
in view of rumors that the camp
may be abandoned, or that it might
be used for army recruiting SER
vices: rumors that, although with
out any foundation in fact, have
been persistant in some quarters.
Every indication points to the
fact that the military authorities
in Washington are anxious to have
the camp a success this year and
that there is not the slightest idea
of it's abandonment. The officer
in charge of summer camps for the
western department of the army,
has beer given funds with which
to place the Monterey camp-site in
condition for use by the civilians.
More than 400 regular army
soldiers are now under canvas at
Monterey, preparing the camp for
the civilians. Authorization has
been given for the sale of quarter
master stores. such as shoes and
articles of uniform, to the civilians,
and this in spite. of the fact that
the demands of Mexican service
upon both regulars and militia
men will necesssitate the use of
an unusual quantity of quartermas-
ter stores in Mexico and on the
border.
A sufficient number of men al
ready have enrolled for the en-
campment to assure a couple of
regiments for Monterey, and en-
rollments will continue throughout
the present week as if the Mexi-
can crisis did not exist.

Los Angeles men are negotiating
for the old GuZman mill at Gold
Circle, the purpose being to re-

custom mill. The mill, what there
is of it. is centrally located and

per ton cheaper than the ElKo

this mill was under consideration
two years ago by Howell and Lid

mill and operated it on custom
ores.-GaZette.
