Official notifications to appear be-
fore the local examining board are be-
ing mailed today by County Auditor
Paul Bulfinch, to the 92 men whose
numbers were drawn first in the draft
list.

The master list of numbers arriv-
ed from Washington this morning and

cal examining board consisting of
Sheriff D. b. Jeffries, Paul Bulfinch

al numbers will have to be called be-
fore the county quota is filed.
John D. Bricker of American Falls

cation for exemption the drafted man
will be given ten days to furnish af-
fdavits to support his claim. The
county board will then have three days

[. :. GENERAL ON FIRING LINE.
American Olf'cer Visits French Frcnt,
Under BOmbardment by Germans.


AMERICAN TRAING CAMP IN
FRANCE-An American general re-
turned to camp Saturday from brief
but interesting visit to the French
front. He plans to go again soon and
with him will probably go many other
officers.
Wearing a French shrapnel helmet
and with a gas mask slung about his
neck, he inspected the trenches, in
cluding bits of the front line. AS
very little can be seen of the fighting
from the trenches, however, the gen
eral later climbed into an observation
post, high in a stalwart old tree,
where he spent an hour or so with
the shells swishing around him in all
directions. On sheh Droke within
about 200 feet of where the party
was located, but it caused no undue
commotion.
Impressed With Scene.
The general was much impressed
with all he saw. especially the detans
of the organization behind the lines
features to which the Americans
will have to devote an immense
amount of attention.
Three German airplanes attempted
to cross the French lines during the
| generals visit Friday, but all were
turned back by French air fliers and
artillery. One of the members of the
generals staff, a former aviator, was
taken up in a French plane for brief
trip over the German lines.
The general, in full fighting regal
ia, was an IMPOSING figure and attract
ed the admiration of the poilus in the
trenches

Garnishes for Foods.

Flowers, fruits and the sweet gela-
tin garnishes should be used only on
desserts. Jellies make attractive gar
nishes, for they sparkle and quiver
and, best of all, add to the taste of
what they decorate. Little molds for
stamping out decorations may be
bought, but they are not needed If you
have sharp-pointed knife and u
steady hand.
Invert glass of very cold cufrant
or crabapple jelly onto a cutting board
and slice it, and then cut 1t into strips
hearts, rings and such figures. These
are pretty on all custards and on float

Arizona. ..
The production of gold from Arizona
mines increased from $4,166.o25 in
1915 to approximately $4,427,000 in
1916, a gain of over per cent.
The smelling department of the
Shannon Copper Company at Clifton
has been tied up by strike since last
week. The mill and mines are still
operating.
Following the activities of the Mag
ma Copper Company, the camp of Su-
perior has taken on new life, and the
district is receiving marked attention
from not only the mining world but
from the investment public as well.
Preliminary estimates by d. F. Hew-
ett of the United States Geological
Survey, Department of the Interior,
show that the production of mangan-
ese ore in 1916 was about $4,000 tons,
the greatest since 1883, and nearly
three times that in 1915, which was 81
7O9 tons.
According to advance figures by
Victor C. Heikes of the United States
Geological Survey, recently made pub
lie, the metal production of the state
of Arizona during the year 1916 ex-
ceeded $2O0,0O0,00O. Mr.. Heikes'
statement follows: The output of gold.
silver, copper, lead and zinc from
mines in Arizona in 1916 had a record
total value of nearly $203. 100000, COM
pared with s99,S06,349 for 1915. The
notable output of copper and the high
prices of metals both assisted in this
increase of 123 per cent. There were
record productions also of gold, silver.
