258 FIRST NUMBER OUT
Secretary Baker Takes Out hi tiaI Misunderstanding Con- tinues All Day Friday and
 Throughout Night.
Long List of Numbers Given in Order as Drawn, From Which Those Who Will Be Called to Serve in First Army Will Be
 Selected.

Washington, July 21-The drawing for the big United States army was not completed until early Saturday morning. The drawing began at 9;45 Friday morning, and continued throughout the day and night Alto gether 10,500 numbers were drawn from the big fish bowl. It was officially stated that the first 1000 numbers drawn represented more than 1000.- GOO men, and it Is not considered probable that men representing any number drawn after the first 2,0O0 will be called before any exemption board for the first army. The first eight numbers were drawn respective ly by Secretary of War Baker, Senator Chamberlain of the senate military committee, Congressman Dent of the house military committee, Senator Warren and Representative Kahn, ranking minority members of the sen ate and house military committees i; Maj. Gen. TaSker H. Bliss. acting chief of staff of the army; Maj. Gen. Enoch Crowder. provost marshal of the army; and Major General Mccain. adjutant general of the army. After the first eight numbers had been drawn the regular tellers took hold, ard worked through until the long task was completed.
 In only small number of the larg- est districts will the numbers above a few thousand affect registrants. Of the 4,557 registration districts throughout the country the largest has something over 10,200 numbers. while the smallest has only about 1S5, and the average is about 5000 As the drawing proceeded, 157 numbers were withdrawn before one low enough to affect the smallest district came out It was 126, placing 4557 men number ed 126 on their local lists as 157th in order of liability.
 The following list shows the num- bers in the order in which they were drawn. The first number in each case represents the order in which the see ond, or red-ink registry. number was taken from the bowl. Four numbers are given in each line. Beginning with the first number, which was drawn by Secretary Baker.

UNIQUE CONCERT GIVEN BY
THE MUSICIANS OF WILDEF

Wilder, March 10.-The "Old Folks
Concert" which was presented to a
packed house at the Methodist church
at Wilder Friday night ct last week
for the purpose of raising funds for a
library, proved an instantaneous sue
cess. The powdered hair, wigs and
quaint costumes of an hundred years
ago, together with the old time pro-
gram and conduct of the participants,
constituted an entertainment unique
from the fact that it was probably the
first concert of its kind to be given in
Idaho, and one of the very few to have
been given in this country in the last
40 years.
A universal request for its repetition
at Wilder, as we'll as calls for it's pre-
sentation at other localities, have been
received, and engagements with Home
dale and Roswell will doubtless be
made soon.
The choruses were trained and the
concert produced under the direction
OF Mrs. Evalena May Drew.

New York, March 10.-Les Darcy,
the Australian pugilist, barred from
New York rings by Governor Whitman,
is going to stick it out-and he will not
fight Mike Gibbons, so he says, until
after he has had one battle in New
York.
Efforts to change his mind, accord
ing to Eddie Kahn, manager Of Glib
bons, on his return from Goshen, N. Y,
where Darcy is living on the estate of
Grant Hugh Brown, merely proved that
Darcy Is a very set young man in his

cred Just one instant. A newspaper
man, who accompanied Kahn, suggest
ed that there should be way for Glib
bons and Darcy, the two greatest mid
dleweight pugilists in the country, to
get together.
TRAINER SPOILED 1T.
"why don't you fellows reach this
sort Of a compromise: Darcy, you
agree to go through with a 10-round
bout with Gibbons in Milwaukee, as
contract signed by Tim O'Sullivan pro-
vides, but have Frank Mulkern set the
date ahead and agree to your appear
ance in a bout somewhere else. Kahn,
you agree to a 20-round bout If no de-
cision is reached in a 10-round fracas,"
was the way the scribe put it up to the
men. Kahn seized on it eagerly, and
Darcy looked interested. Then Mick
Hawkins, Darcy's trainer, spoiled it an.
''Down't you go an do nawthin' yet,
Les" he advised, "and downt you syeI
nawthin'."
And Darcy closed down.
Darcy demanded to know what sac
rifices Gibbons is willing to make to
get bout with Darcy.
"Why should we make sacrifices to
you?" Kahn demanded. Mike is the /
middleweight champion of this coun-
try. recognized by every one as such. |
You come here without a fight and
start trying to dictate - him. You are |
not going to get more money for a |
bout with Gibbons than Gibbons does.
You don't think you're entitled to it. !
do you?" |

why not?" Darcy demanded with

going to do something. I'm not going

Kahn declared after the interview
that he would wal until Monday for

APPORT|ONNENT OF
TO
COUNTIES OF STATE
Plan Worked Out by Repre-
sentative M nson of
Franklin County-Repre-
sentation in Lower House.

Representative Ezra P. Monson of
Franklin county, drafted the legisla-
tive apportionment bill that was passed
by the house readJusting the apportion-
ment of the representation in the
lower house in the future. The meas
ure was so worked out as to make 1t
easily adjustable to increased popula-
ton conditions in Idaho at any time
In the future when the conditions war
rant. Legal authorities have pronounc-
ed it not only logical but exceptionally
well arranged to meet conditions In
this state.
when Selway and Payette coun-
ties are created" said Representative
Monson, the total representation in
the next house of representatives will
be "a members instead of 66 as has
been announced. The creation of Sell
way county will take one of Idaho
countys present representatives leav-
ing Idaho with but one representa-
tive
when Payette county is created
Canyon county will have one less rep
resentative. Under the apportionment
now Canyon has five representatives.
Under the new apportionment bill 1t Is
given four representatives until Pay
cite county is created when It will
have but three representatives or equal
representation to it's population and
vote cast
FOR EQUAL REPRESENTATION.
With Gem county created and Pay
cite county about to be created out
of the territory in Canyon county, each
take one representative from the old
county. The measure 10 drafted to
give as near as possible equal represen~
tation according to population or in
other words to give the more popu-
lous counties greater representation
than the less populous counties, and
keep down the total membership"
This bill gives each 2E00 votes a rep
resentative. The major fraction there
after is made up to 1000. For the frao-
ton over 1000 an additional represen-
tative is allowed but under it but one
representative is provided. If the bill
does not pass the representation in the
next legislature so far as the house is
will be 70 members, or five
more than the present representation.
