Drawing for the great selective
draft, which will call to the colors
over a million of the ten million
Americans registered for war SER
vice, began in Washington this morn
ing at 7:30 o'clock.
From each thousand, certain num-
bers will be first drawn and whoever
bears the corresponding number in
each county of the United States will
be first to come forward. When
something over 100 names in each
thousand are drawn, this will prob
ably produce the first call of 200 900
men, which the exemptions will then
reduce to 625,000, the required
number at present. Out of 612 names
in Gunnison county, this will mean
about 70 names. The numbers each
man received were published in the
News-Champion last week. Did you
get your number?
The local board, consisting of Sher-
iff Hanlon, County Clerk Barrett and
County Physician F. p. Hanson, will
post the names selected, and will
mail notification to each man. But
the bulletin Of information just re-
ceived says that the posting is enough.
You must know your number, and if
it is drafted, respond for examination.
You cannot make an excuse that the
notification never reached you.
This letter will set a day for your
physical examination.
Physical Examination
You must report for physical exam
ination on the day named in your call.
(a) If you are found physically
disqualified the board will give you
. certificate which will explain to you
what your further duties are.

D. Jennings, "With reference to the
dredging proposition in Taylor Park,
beg TO advise that we now have at
torneys here in Denver working in
conjunction with your district attor-
ney, Weiser, Of Grand Junction in pre-
pairing case to be filed Immediately
upon the river becoming again pol
iuted. You may assure the people of
your section that shall act quickly
and that ! will probably need their
moral support" This dredging has
been in progress for several years.
As result the river has been polluted
to the detriment Of domestic uses and
fishing. Mr.. Fraser lays. particular
stress on the fact that he means to
act quickly if this dredging isn't
stopped.

they certainly didn't play ball.

A hearing for the county claim
against the Rio Grande railroad to in
clude the three and half miles of
trackage between Crested Butte and
the Smith-Anthracite mine, in local
assessment, will probably be set early
in October.
At least such is the word received
this week from the State Tax Com
mission, which has written the rail-
road a. follows:
Denver, Colorado, July IL, 1917.
In Re: Assessment Of d. & R. G. line
between Crested Butte and Smith
Anthracite mine, Gunnison county.
Mr.. James Corey. Tax Agent,
Denver & Rio Grande r. r. Co.,
Denver, Colorado.
Dear Sir:
We herewith hand you copy Of a
petition and protest which has been
filed by the Board Of County Com
missioners with US relating to the
above subject matter and which is the
elimination Of some correspondence
and personal interviews which have
taken place during the past year.
From the statements made in the
protest coupled with statements made
to us in correspondence and by var
ious members Of the County Commits
sioners, personally, the county seems
to; make out prima facie case which
would warrant this Commission in
ordering this particular line to be
included in your main track mileage.
II, therefore, your company cannot
come to an agreement with the Coun-
ty Commissioners in this matter, we
shall set date for q hearing, which
will be sometime between September
10th and October 1st, at which time
both sides can present their case to
US for final determination.
Very truly yours,
COLORADO TAX COMMISSION.
It will be remembered that through
the efforts Of Commissioner Whalen,
Assessor Thomas and County Clerk
Barrett, the Ruby-Anthracite branch
of ten and half miles was this year
added to valuation Of the county and
especially Of school district eight, Civ
ing nearly 800. 900 extra valuation in

WHY SOCIETY WOMEN WASH
THEIR OWN HAIR

They Go, not because it is a rad,
but because they wish to obtain the
greatest possible hair beauty and
be sure they are not using anything
harmful. They have found that in
washing the hair 1t is never wise to
use makeshift. but is always ad-
riSahle TO use a preparation made
for shampooinS only. Many of our
friends say they get the best results
from simple, home made canthrox
mixture. You can use this at n
cost of about three cents Il sham
poo by getting some canthrox from
your druggist. and dissclvinE a tea
spoonful in cup of hot water.
This makes enough shampoo LIQUID
TO apply to all the hair instead OF
Just the top OF the head. as with
most preparations Dandruf, ex-
cess oil and dirt are dissolved and
entirely disappear in the rinsing
water. Your hair will be so fluffy
that IT will lock much heavier than
il is. Its luster ana softncss will
also delight you.-Adv.

proceeded along the way to Bras.

In the darkness he lost his way and
passed through two feet of snow and
ashes directly over what had been the

hole through the side and roof OF the

foot had been torn off by a piece OF
shrapnel. The trench doctor had done
his best to bind up the stump of the

blood spurted from the hastily ban
