RIFLES OF THE
 UNITED STATES
 BEST IN WORLD
British Expert and One American Declare That U. s. Arms Have No
 Competitor.

NEW YORK, Aug. 13.-"Holland' That the United States is surpass | ing German efficiency in the pro ductiOn of arms and munitions is proved by a statement by two of the foremost rifle experts, one an Eng ! lishman, the other an American. When the United States entered the war there was concern at Wash ington about the ability to supply our soldiers not only with suffic tent rifles-a million at least a year but also with as good rifles as were made anywhere and better, if that were possible. When the gov ernment took over the British con tracts with the Eddystone company at Chester, Penn, the Winchester Arms Co.,, at New Haven, and the Remington Repeating Arms Co.,, of llion, N. Y., it solved the problem of securing sufficient number within a year
 But there was another question, whether the American modified En- field rifle would meet the require ments of the government. Some au- 1 thorities were doubtful. A few went so far as to criticise this rifle. But MT Clearman, in charge of expert mental firing at the EddystOne Co, plant in a memorandum to Wash ington officials stated that the new United States rifle of the 1917 pat tern is a wonderful shooting gun. He is confirmed by Lieutenant Staff, one of the foremost British rifle experts, who believes the new Unit tary rifle in the world.

KENNECOTT WILL.
 MAKE A SHOWING
 FOR THIS YEAR
In First Six Months of the Year Mine Earned
 Over Nine Million lUHfdIS.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 13. - While maintaining its position as the lowest cost producer the Ken necott Copper Corporation, after al lowing for depreciation and war taxes, will have a much higher cost than the 5A cents average of the past year.
 Although troubled with a strike at it's Kennecott properties the com pany was able to increase opera tions somewhat over a few weeks ago with the result that about 65 per cent. of normal has been main. tained for the past week or ten days. During the height of the la bor disturbance the Bonanza and adjoining mines were closed tight but the mill was able to operate on the accumulated ores.
 Operations at the Beatson mine have not been affected by the strike, so that about normal production will probably be reported from that de partment for the month of July. The same holds true at the Braden properties in South America.
 Considering the Braden property as an integral part of the Kennecott the production of this concern during the first half of the year was as follows:

The PATRIoTIc RALLY.

The patriotic rally at the Baugh
theatre last Sunday night was a most
enthusiastic affair. The audience lis
tened with much enthusiasm to talks
by Governor Alexander, Secretary of
State Dougherty, State Auditor Van
Deusen and Attorney General Walters.
AT the close of the speaking Governor
Gooding, as chairman, brought up the
subject of the Army Y. M. G. A, and
Orr Chapman as member of the COM
mittee for Shoshone proceeded to
strike while the iron of patriotism was
hot. He called for subscriptions and
the audience responded with something
over sixteen hundred dollars to be
paid in monthly installments. AS the
audience dispersed a cash contribution
was made at the door for the Red
Cross which amounted to $3.50.
The Baugh was filled to overfiowing
with patriotic citizens of Lincoln Coun-
ty. as nearly every precinct was rep
resented. The state officers were lis
tened to with earnest and at times
enthusiastic attention and at the close,
when Orr Chapman made his appeal
for funds for the soldier boys Y. M.
c. A. every one felt that Orr had
miss his occupation by becoming a
court reporter and should have been
a public speaker AS a money raiser
for a good cause he would soon rival
Billy Sunday.
