ACTIVITIES AT
SILVER REEF
A. b. Harris, the Well Known Mining
Man, Enthusiastic Over Con-
ditions at Old Camp.

Mr.. A. y. Harris, who is playing a
prominent part in the ~reopening Of
mining operations at Silver Reef, was
in Cedar City the fore part of this
week en- route to Salt Lake on mining
business. Mr.. Harris reports that
matters are a little quiet just now at
the camp, but expects that they will
get to moving at a lively pace in a
short time. The diamond drill that
was recently shipped into that part
of the country is now operating at
Hidden Lake Copper Company's hold
ings, having a hole down something
more than 100 feet. AS soon as the
drill finishes there it is expected that
arrangements will be made to have
it taken to the Reef for exploring the
lower levels Of the old camp, below
where any of the former workings
have yet reached.
Mr.. Harris has a plan foI The drain
ing of the old workings which are full
Of water, and at the same time the de-
velopment of an irrigation project for
the Harrisburg bench which would
alone pay the expenses Of driving a
tunnel approximately a mile long in
the soft sand stone, from the old Stor-
mant to tap the reef at a very low
level. The undertaking is meeting
with favor among the residents of that
region, and there seems to be no rea-
son why it would not be a big money
maker.
Mr.. ID. NJ. Parker, who is associated
with Louie King at Hidden Lake in
the operation of the diamond drill, waq
in Cedar City at the same time as Mr..
Harris.

One Man In Charge of Alcohol Sales.

Salt Lake City, Utah, June 28, 1917.
Dan Shields, attorney general, de-
cided yesterday that Oscar Leyman Of
this city, appointed by Gov. Simon
Bamberger recently to act as ware
house manager under the prohibition
law, is the only man to act in that
capacity during the early period Of OPP
erations Of the "bone dry" statutes.
As need may arise, other ware
house managers may be appointed by
the governor to put into effect the
provisions Of the law intended to
control the sale of alcohol in the
state. For some time after August
/, however, Mr.. Leyman will be the
only appointee named to act in this
capacity.
The clause in the law relating to
warehouse managers was changed in
the wording by the senate committee,
Wholesale druggists represented to
members of the committee that If
they were not permitted to buy al
cohol direct from the manufacturers
it would seriously interfere with their
legitimate business. Frequently,
they pointed out, alcohol was used as
a solvent by druggists, The legisla-
tors, however, made the law read that
druggists must make their purchases
Of alcohol from the warehouse man
ager named by the governor.
1t is on this account that the attor-
ney general has ruled that during the

CAR OF YOUNG PEOPLE
TURNS TURTLE NEAR CEDAR

At a late hour last night or an
early hour this morning, an automo-
bile belonging to Mr.. Thomas Daven-
port Of Parowan turned turtle at the
large bridge a mile north of town,
p~inning part Of the occupants of the
car beneath it. Mr.. Davenport and
another Parowan young mar with
three young women of this place were
joy riding and one of the girls was at
the wheel. They were going north
along the smooth surfaced road lead
ing up TO the bridge, where there is
a sharp turn to the west. The car
was apparently going too fast to
take the turn.
Mr.. Davenport was the most SER
iously injured, but his condition is
not regarded as dangerous. He was
taken to the Southern Utah Hospital
for attention.
The car is badly demolished.

SUCCESSFUL RED
CROSS CAMPAIGN
The Cedar City District Runs $3s2.32
IN
Above its Quota.

American spirit is not niggard-
ly and we of Iron county are Ameri-
cans. Pres. Wilson's call on behalf
Of suffering humanity was heard and
our purses opened generously. All
the men in Cedar who refused fatty
to give could be counted on the fin
gers of one hand.
Our neighboring towns who were
included in the district, were unusually
generous. Kanarra raised $1S1.16
Hamilton Fort $4,000, Enoch $S8.75
and Cedar's $2,064.41 brought the
amount up to $2,983.32. The amount
assigned us by the State committee
was 100000. The general commit
tee feels that these little towns are
deserving of special mention. We
found them to be keenly alive to the
Importance of this call and just as
ambitious as we that our district
should not fall below its assigned quo
Ia. The Kanarra committee consisted
Of Reese j. Williams, Jr., j. ]. Roun-
dy, Mrs. Francis Williams and Miss
Jennie Reeves. Hamilton Fort was
handled by F. w. Middleton and Miss
Mary Uric, and Enoch by Hyrum
Jones, David Gibson and Roy Arm
strong. These committees went en-
Enthusiastically to work and the result
was that the several amounts raised
were generous and substantial.
Some of our local organizations also
rendered material assistance to the
cause. In this connection special men
ton should be made of the southern
Utah school Of music and the Cedar
Primary association and the Sunday
Schools. The primary, assisted by the
Sunday schools, worked up a very sue
cessful children's parade which Melted
the cause $4,000 in cash, and served
in a bigger way to impress on the
community the Importance of the Red
Cross.
The attitude Of the faculty of the
school of music was patriotic and in
spring. These people not only con
tributed literally of their means, but
they also held themselves subject te
the call of the committee. During Rec
Cross week they gave absolutely free
of charge three high class entertain.
ments. This same spirit of readiness
to serve actuated almost the entire
community. During the campaign we
had occasion TO call on scores of peo-
pie to do committee work of some
kind and not more than three or foul
refused-most people seemed glad foi
a chance to serve in so worthy q
cause.
And that may be said Of the big
fund we raised-it is thoroughly rep
resentative. 1t is not the gift Of {
few rich men who would not feel it
1t is the gift of the people. In many
instances the giving meant real phys
zeal sacrifice, but the gift was cheer
fully made. The committee knows o.

Artimisia was born in Beaver Oct.

to mourn her loss. Funeral services
were held at the Stevens home and
the body taken to Cedar cemetery for
burial.

DRAFT REGULATIONS
Arc DECIDED UPON
Rules Under Which the Board
Will Work Will be Issued
by President Wilson.
EXEMPTION CLAUSES
FINALLY
Few Roads Will Be Open to Eligible
Men to Escape Service in
Some Branch.

WASHINGTON, June 26.-Exemp-
ton regulations were whipped into
final shape at the cabinet meeting to-
day. They have now been formally
approved and President Vision prob
ably will promulgate them within the
next forty-eight hours.
With few exceptions the rules are
the same as contained in the draft
submitted to President Wilson by
Provost Marshall eneral Crowder. 1t
is understood the president eliminated
certain exemptions, as he is known
to hold the belief that every man in
the nation must take his share in the
war, whether on the battlefront or
not, and work within the country upon
war duties will be found for many
who are unfit physically to go into the
trenches. Information emanating from
the White House during the last two
days has led to the belief that the
draft will be much heavier, eventu-
ally, than has been suspected.
Exemption Grounds.
The grounds on which exemptions
will be made became known today.
They follow:
1. Physical incapacity. Crippled
persons, if drafted, will, Of course,
have to appear before a medical ex-
aminer, but will be Immediately ex-
cused from service. In the first $685.
900 conscripts the following physical
ailments will disqualify: Heart dis
ease, flat feet, eye disease or derange-
ments which cannot be cured by
glasses, tuberculosis and other chest
diseases, cancer, serious affection OF
the kidneys and liver, varicose veins,
infectious blood diseases.
q. Employment in vital war indus
tries. These include ship building,
munition makers, work in gun factor
les, navy yards, oil fields, coal mines
certain duties in government depart
ments and certain factory work or
other army supplies. These latter
eventually will be turned over to
workmen and the men will be released
!, for army service.
3. The CONSUMPTION act specifically
provides exemption for persons of re-
ligious beliefs opposed to q To
secure such exemption, however, q
man must have been a member of the
faith in question before March Is,
1917.
Men the sole support of families.
Cover Whole Field.
The exemptions enumerated above
cover practically the entire field. The
regulations to be issued by President
i. Wilson will be long and will go into
each exemption at length, dealing
with its various phases, explaining
under which aspects of it exemption
will be granted and under which &
claim for exemption will not hold
But, broadly speaking, there will b'
; few roads open for any eligible per
son to escape service should he be un
, patriotic enough to wish to.
] With the publication of the exemp
ton board today the preliminary ma
chinery for handling the draft wal
E almost completed. All that now re
e mains is the publication by the presi
dent of the rules for the boards guild
ance and the setting of a day for thu
draft. The latter will be done within
, the mex two weeks, according to al
indications at the White house ant
war department.

erably controlled by the driver, ac-
cording as he stands near the cutting

NUMBERS OF COUNTRY ROADS
Iowa State Highway Commission Sug-
gests That City Plan Be Used
Capital Central Point.

Numbering of country roads and
residences so that every road and
country home may be instantly To-
Gated, is advocated by the service bull
letin of the Iowa state highway COM
mission, which is just off the press.
The system advocated was originally
suggested last June.
In the system suggested, the section
upon which the state capitol is located
is considered the central point and all
roads are numbered north, east, south
and west from this. Using the base
map appearing in the bulletin, one
can easily locate the number of his
road and house.
The system is so arranged that
practically every road bears the same
designation across the state. The
numbering system does not in any
way interfere with the use of the
names of organized tourist routes
such as Lincoln highway and others.
