American Business Men Resident
In Paris Will AdUise PerShing
In Purchase Of Supplies Abroad

The task of the purchasing board
is the accumulation in Europe OF all
supplies Of every nature that may
be available in order that, on the
one hand, tonnage may be saved,
so that ships may not be loaded with
material already purchased when
they might bring other materials,
and on the other hand so that there
may be coordination in buying and
a minimum Of overlapping and dup
lication.
In accordance with this plan the
entente countries are being secured
for every kind OF war material that
may be available. 1t is to assist in
turning up all such supplies and in
gauging correctly what they should
cost that the civilian auxiliary
council has been planned.
The purchasing board Is consider
ing a plan of pooling all supplies
that may be procured. Thus all meat
supplies arriving from America for
the American troops may be thrown
in with French supplies procured by
the board, and the two armies fed
from the joint stock. The board like
wise has charge of purchasing for
the Red Cross and the Y. NJ. c. A.

Paris, Sept. 1O.-(Correspondence
of The Associated Press .)-The new
est adjunct of the United States pur-
chasing board, which was created
seversi weeks ago on the initiative
of General j. j. Pershing, is an
auxiliary civilian advisory council
composed OF five or six American
business men resident in France.
These men, whose names have not
yet been made public, have been
asked to aid the board by giving it
the benefit Of their expert knowledge
whenever 1t may be needed.
The decision to create this auxi-
liary is only one of the strides the
board has made in the few weeks of
its existence. Its chief, Colonel
Charles G. Dawes, a former control
Ter of the currency, and president Of
the Central Trust company, of IlIi-
nois, has already surrounded himself
with nearly a dozen expert quarter
master officers, who are purchasing
officers also of their respective
branches Of service, and are rapidly
co-ordinating the work of purchas-
ing supplies for the present as well
as the prospective armies in France.

MEAT YOU WANT TO BUY
Ray Market Man Cuts UP Beef and Gives Free Tips to
Ray Housewives Prices Here Lower Than Are Most
Camps in State

Through the kindness of the Ray
meat market, we are able to publish
the price list of beef-cuts given below.
A careful perusal of the list will de-
monstrate the fact that meat in this
county is not expensive. In fact,
some of the meat substitutes recon-
mended by the magazines are more
expensive in the southwest than the
meat itself.
A man who does hard manual labor
needs meats as rule, but that doesn't
necessarily mean T-bone steaks or
prime roasts. AS a matter of fact, we
are told that there is more nutriment
in the tougher cuts of meat, and every
one knows they have a superior
flavor. Any of the cheaper cuts of
meat. can be made appetizing and de.
sirable by careful cooling. Now is the
time for women 10 turn a little of
their time and initiative into money.
and there is no better field for their
activities than the butcher shop.
Send in your recipes for use of the
cheaper beef cuts. and the Copper
Camp will be pleased to print them.
Here are the cuts of beef and how
they are most frequently used and the

With the removal of the S. P. cor
rails from the city, the dipping vat
was dismantled, and it is necessary to
build new one in order to cross the
cattle from the Mexican side. 1t is
more than probabel that a vat will be
built at a point some few miles out
into the country, probably at Gala

sions, though the first application for
one, made by Mexican member OF
the regiment in 1905, was denied un-
der ruling by the secretary of the
interior at that time. A. K. Meek, a
bureau, is in the city comforting with

bers of the regiment
These applications were denied and
the adjutant general took an appeal
with the result that later decision
of the interior department, reversing
under which the pensions may be
granted to these two applicants and
others who may be alive, or to their
wives.
The First Arizona was authorized
on April 10, 1864, by Provost Marshal
General James B. Fry, to take the
place of the California regiment which
had been operating in Arizona for the
protection of settlers, but had been
called into service in the civil war.
The regiment was composed almost
wholly of Mexicans and friendly In
dians, though in some of the compa-
nies Apaches were enrolled About
the same time New Mexico regiment
was organized, and that one actually
saw service against the confederates.
! Among the papers on file in the Of
flee of the adjutant general is the
muster roll of Juan Chevereah, at any
rate, that is the way the name was
spelled. He was one of the best
known Indians of this region. He
was captain of Company B of the reg
iment composed of Maricopas. An.
tone Azul was lieutenant. A we'll
known surviving relative of Chevereah
is Cyrus Son, grandson. e3sa
| The captain of Company c., com
posed of Pimas, was the late John D.
Walker, who lived for many years af-
ter the war among them, and devel-
oped the Vekol mine. He was known
to the Indians as "the Gray Crane
The adjutant general saw many of
the Pimas who had belonged to the
company, but none of them could give
any other name of the captain than
"the Gray Crane"
Altogether, applications have been
made now for twelve members of the
company, Mexicans and Indians. If
granted pensions, they will run back
to 1912.

grounds for his appeal.

TO SIGN DESERT
WATER HOLES

To make the desert regions of the
western part of the United States
more accessible by locating their
widely separated watering places and
erecting hundreds of signposts to give
directions and distances to the water
ing places, is an interesting and prac-
tical project recently undertaken by
the United States Geological Survey,
Department of the Interior.
The project involves also the work
of making accurate maps showing the
location of the watering places, of
preparing guides describing them and
giving distances between them, of Sc
lecting well sites and of developing
watering places ESQ far as money
available will permit) in localities
where the geological Investigations in
dicate that underground supplies can
be obtained. 1t is expected that this
work will help to expedite the dis
covery and development of the rich
mineral deposits in parts of these re.
able in other respects.
In recent years the water supply
geologists of the Geological Survey
have developed trustworthy methods
of locating ground water in arid re-
gions from surface indications, and OF
estimating the depth to water and the
approximate annual yield of the un
derground reservoirs. These methods
will be applied and further developed

APPEALS COMING IN
SLOW TO THE DISTRICT BOARD

Don. H. Rayburn, of Florence,
claims agricultural pursuits.
C. A. Robotham asks exemption be-
cause he is an alien.
L. F. Spidel, of Ray, claims depend
ency.
Oscar Ferguson, of Ray, claims de-
pendency
Tilton l. Putnam, of Summerland,
claims dependency.
To date there have only been two
cases from this county acted upon by
the district board. They were Jose
Mendoza, who was granted tempo
rary discharge until November 18th
that he might harvest his crop, and
Anton E. Olson, of Florence, whose
claim for exemption on the grounds of
agricultural pursuits was denied.
The district board will have meet
ing again next Wednesday, and all
who wish to- appeal are invited to
come before the board in person and
present their claims. There are no
star chamber sessions of this board
and every case before them is con-
scientiously considered entirely on its
merits. If a man is entitled to ex-
emption, and has the proof to show
this board, he will surely be exempt
ed. On the other hand, if man is
not entitled to exemption, he will not
be exempted, no matter who he is or
how hard he tries to get out. The
board meets at 10 in the morning and
in the afternoon on Wednesday and
Thursday of next week.
