IMPORTANCE OF
MINING INDUSTRY
ONE UTAH MINING COMPANY'S
PAYROLL GIVES IDEA OF I'M
PORTANCE OF MINING

There are millions of people in this
country who have but little knowledge
of the vast Importance of the min
ing industry as affecting other lines
Of business and occupation.
For instance, the Utah Copper
company gives employment to 5000
men. During it's brief existence it
has paid nearly $80,O00,O0O in divi-
dends. But during this period it has
paid $225,0OO,O0O for supplies, ma
chinery, labor, equipment, land, etc,
and has an average payroll of
S75O,ha0 per month, and this vast
amount is distributed through va
rious channels until every line of in
dustry and endeavor is reached and
beneficially affected.
The amount paid by the company
for labor in 1917 amounts to twice
as much as total tax collected by Salt
Lake county in year 1914, and its
assessment for national, state and
county taxes for 1917 equalled the
total taxes collected in state of Utah
for year 1914.
This is fair Illustration of record
of scores of western mining com
panies which are straining every eff
fort to maintain production under abb
normal conditions.
The beneficial results of mining
are many and far-reaching, and it is
high time that the people of the
United States come to better under
standing cf what the industry means
to them, and to the nation.

QUOTA FIXED AT
THIRTY CENTS EACH
SYRIAN ARMENIAN REL E F
FUND TAKES SMALL AMOUNT
FROM EACH PERSON

The Armenian committee for Ar
menian aid and Syrian relief asked
for a quota Of 80 cents per capita
throughout the United States. Every
thing else being equal, including in
comes, we might take this to mean
that everybody should give the bare
80 cents. But as things are not equal,
not even incomes, it means that each
must give in proportion to what they
have. The fact is you have to allow
for thousands on the poverty line in
the big cities, for other thousands of
transients, for whole areas where for
lack of leadership there is no organ
ization and no collector of funds.
Returns from some precincts show
men with incomes of 10 to 100000
per annum giving less than many
with 81 ,OO0-dollar means. These re-
turns are revelation of character

were to win, and to be instructed in
detail as to why the United States
went into the war and the principles
for which this nation, with it's allies,
is fighting.
This is regarded as one of the most
important lines to be aught to the
men who are to take an active part
In the winning of the war. They will
go into it with full knowledge of
what they are fighting for, and not
be like the German soldiers, who, at
the close of the fourth year of the
war, do not yet know for what they
are fighting nor why.
The uniforms for the men have
been requestioned and are expected to
arrive within a few days, and when
they come Moscow will have as fine
a body of young soldiers as ever hon
ored a town. The men are making
fine progress in their drill as well
as in their other work and with the
uniforms will appear like real SOL
diers.

THE STANDARD OF
WAR GIVING TOLD
COMMITTEEMAN TELLS HOW TO
GIVE FOR THE VARIOUS
WAR FUND DRIVES

The question "What Ought I to
Give?" has been asked so frequently
in the cause of our many war drives
that the council of defense which has
official responsibility for raising
funds for war purposes has adopted
a system appointing an individual
quota for each drive. The amount is
based upon the amount received
general credit standing Of the indi-
vidual. 1t is frankly only an approxi-
nation; it cannot be mathematically
accurate, but it is good enough as a
working basis for SO per cent of peo
pie. Amongst other things the war
calls upon us to sacrifice is good
deal of our privacy. Time was when
any business was no one else's busi-,
ness. Today my business is the
states business, and from the laborer
to the high finance man we must be
prepared to reveal our resources and
place on the table all we have and all
we are. "Taint" nice! War isn't a
nice business anyway, and certainly
no respector of persons. It's no use
kicking ard grunting; private mind
edness must go, and private pursed-
ness, too!
This method of raising war funds
mas revealed one startling fact
namely, that there are hundreds of
folks who have not yet begun the
war; and q comparatively small
bunch who are in up to the neck and

LATAH COUNTY MEN
CHARGED WITH DELINQUENCY

Four men called for military serv-
ice on June 28 are still missing and
are to be posted as deserters. Homer
Estes, county auditor and clerk of
the local draft board, following the
instructinos of the draft law, has
posted the following as delinquents:
Mike Martin, employed by the O.-W.
R. & N. Co., at Seattle; Paul N. Old
john, St. Joe, Idaho, working for the
Humbird Lumber Co.; Demarco Adol-
fo, Garrett, Pa, working for the B.
& o. railroad; and Deiants Angelo,
with Adolph Sarter, Spokane. These
men will be arrested as deserters if
found, and they cannot give a good
excuse for not responding to the call.

tainment for the men and had as high
as 100 to $50 automobiles sent out to
take the men for long drives. They
would ask the men where they wanted
to go and get load of four or six
men who wanted to go to one place
into car and take them out for the
day. They made long drives and saw
the scenic parts of California in this
way. The Y. M. G. A. had entertain
ments for the men every night.
ga very noticeable thing from my
viewpoint, and l have been in the
army many years, was the almost
total absence of intoxication. During
my stay there / never saw but two
of liquor A soldier in uniform could
not get drink in San Francisco for
$1,000. The conduct of the men was
certainly admirable"
Sergeant Abendroth, who is vet
eran of the Spanish-American war
and has been in the army many
years, has two sons in the army, both
in France, one being in the machine
gun corps and the other win the engi-
neers' company with which Frank
Jameson, recently killed in action,
was fighting when killed. The first
item of the war news Sergeant Aben-
droth reads is the casualty list. He
has third son who is very anxious
to go, but is too young.
The men who took the training at
the reserve officers training camp
were invited to return for the second
camp, which opens on July 18, but
only three of the 40 from the Univer-
sity of Idaho took advantage of the
invitation and will remain. Those
who took the reserve officers train
ing are now in line for further train
ing for commissions and may enter
the camps for final training for men
seeking commissions in the army.
Sergeant Abendroth says the Idaho
boys made fine impressions upon their
arrival at the camp. Other delegations
came in by ones and twos, but the
Idaho boys came in body, well dress
ed, clean and with military look,
and when they marched up to the
camp an old officer who was watch
ing them approach made inquiry as
to where they came from, and when
told they are from the University of
Idaho, said: "Well, they surely come
from a real military school"
The sergeant brought back with
him some hand grenades, the kind
used by the soldiers in the trenches.
One is a dummy" used for practice
throwing The other is the real arti-
Gle, with fine fuse, etc. The grenades
Just fit the hand and are filled with
the most deadly explosive yet dis
covered and known as ''T. N. t." the
explosive that caused the terrible dis
aster at Halifax. The grenade ex-
plodes four seconds after leaving the
hand, and as it is made of heavy iron,
divided by seams into little squares,
it hurls these which number hundreds,
like shower of bullets from shrap-
mel shell. The effect is deadly.

and we'll worth publication. Speak
ing on Sunday at Chautauqua Rev.
w. H. Bridge said the war had
brought more actual profit than loss
to this western country, and that
many men here in Moscow were bet

this is true, we should not be shy in
asking such to give generously and
avoid confiscaion We must get the
giving habit-and get it quick!

UNIVERSITY Of IDAHO BOYS
FIRST AT R. 0. 7. c. PRESIDE

Students from the University of
Idaho, who took training at the Re-
serve Officers Training camp at the
Preside, San Francisco, which closed
on July 8, ranked high and won much
praise for their school, says Sergeant
w. H. Abendroth, who was an as
sistant instructor to the 1901 men
from 10 western states, who took part
in the training camp. Idaho students
ranked 1, 2, 3 and 4, and out of the
first 10 in ranch, the University of
Idaho had six places.
In competition with the New
Mexico Military institute, a strictly
military school, Idaho won 86.7 per
cent as compared with 53.4 won by
the New Mexico military school.
There were 1901 men in the training
camp and in competitive work they
were divided into squads of 10. In
the last 10 Idaho had but one man,
and he was not the last by any means.
Sergeant Abendroth thought it best
to not give out the names of the men
from this school who ranked so high
in competitive work, but the credit
goes to the school, which won much
praise from officers and others who
saw the splendid work Of the Univer-
sity of Idaho boys, of whom there
were 40 in the camp.
Two of the Idaho men qualified as
instructors. Thompson qualified as
an expert instructor in bayonet work
and in barbed wire construction. Am
brose Johnson qualified as an in
structor. in grenade work.
A high compliment was paid to the
University of Idaho by Captain
Street, instructor at the camp, who

orally fine conduct, good appearance

''The men worked hard and long
hours" said Sergeant Abendroth.
'The hours were from $50 a. m. to
$3.50 p. M, with five minutes be- |
tween drills and one hour off for
lunch, but the Idaho boys stood up to
the work and made a fine showing.
All Of the drills were made with full
packs and rifle, lacking only blankets
and rations to be in full marching
order. In the final results of the
of the men, each being
placed upon the credits he had won,
Idaho had six names in the first
squad of 10, and had the first four
numbers in that 10. The people of
Idaho and Of the university should
feel proud of this showing. There
we're men from Washington, Oregon,
IDAHO, California, Nevada, Utah, Colo
ado, New Mexico, Arizona and Wyo-
ming.

Makes Final Proof on Homestead
Three Miles from POtlatch-

J. ". Boone made final proof a
few days ago before Judge H. r.
Smith, United States commissioner,
on a homestead within three miles
of Potlatch The homestead contains
only % 1-2 acres. 1t was an isolated
tract that had been left untakcn for
the reason that few cared to spend
three years on so small tract. The
land is said to be quite valuable. Mr..
Boone took it under the homestead
law requiring three years residence,
but he was allowed five months off
each year. The proof has been ac-
cepted by the land office.

MAKING READY FOR
new REGISTRATION
OF MEN REACHING 81 YEARS.
BLUE CARDS RECEIVED BY
BOARDS IN GEORGIA.

Blue cards for registration of
young men of Georgia who have at
tanned the age of 81 years since last
June 9Th have been received by Geor-
gia authorities from the office of the
provost marshal general.
While the exact date of the ma
tional registration of those who have
become 81 years old since last regis
tration day has not been selected,
pending legislation in congress, it is
practically certain that registration
day" will be on the anniversary of
the first registration day June 5.
The forthcoming registration will
be conducted throughout the nation
by local boards, and win add approx
imately 100000 men or 10 per
cent. of the 100000 already reg
istered last June. 1t was found that
about 101a per cent of the 10000
600 men registered last June were
81 years old.
Present plans contemplate that
when a man has been registered, on
a blue registration card he shall be
handed QUESTIONABLE similar in ev-
cry detail to the QUESTIONABLE filled
out this winter by ten million regis
trants. He will be expected to take
this home and fill it out properly, and
will be given seven days to do this in.
BY this method much time is expect
ed to be saved to all concerned.

CHINESE CAPTURE AMERICAN
And EXHIBIT Him IN CAGE
Robbed of Fortune and Hauled About
Like Wild Animal. Was Subject

A PACIFIC PORT.-After being
captured by Chinese bandits, robbed
of fortune and hauled through the
interior of China in a cage in which
he was exhibited to the natives like
a wild animal and from which he
finally escaped by bribing guard,
E. J. Purcell, an American railway
engineer, arrived at this port today
en- route from the Orient to New
York.
He was accompanied by his wife
and three children, who were in
Pekin during the time Purcell was
held by the bandits.
The engineer said he and G.. A.
Kyle, also an American engineer,
left the village of Yen Chang in the
province of Hotan, China, on March
on a surveying trip. They took
with them a number of Chinese as
sistants, twenty soldiers and carried
seven large boxes Of American cur
rency totaling about S125,000

overpowered by bandits, who put
Purcell in a cage and transported
him 200 miles into the mountains
subiecting him to all manner of hu.

CUT COMES IN SUGAR
CONSUMPTION MAY Is
SOME LIMITED TO 80 PER CENT.
OF NORMAL SUPPLY; 9TH
ERS CUT OFF ENTIRELY.

Further curtailment of sugar con-
sumption will become effective to-
morrow, May 18th, when all manu-
facturers using sugar except for es-
sential food products will be limited
to 80 per cent. of their normal sup
ply. This ruling will be retroactive
to January 1, 1918, so that the act
ual curtailment between now and the
end of the year will be much greater.
A cut to SO per cent of normal
will be ordered in the cases of firms
which have been established or ex-
banded between November, 1917,
and April, 1918, in the face of an
actual sugar shortage.
Those who entered the business
since April, 1918, or since the United
States declared war, will be cut of
entirely.
The so-called non-essentials that
will be limited include confectioner-
les and soft drinks of every descrip-
ton; but the food administration
does not believe the action will mean
any cut in production. The use of
glucose and saccharine is expected to
make up the difference.
The essentials that will not be linn
tied in their use of sugar are:
Some preservers and packers of
vegetables, catsup and chill sauce,
fruits and milk, manufacturers of
jam, jelly and preserves, tobacco and
preserves, apple butter and glycerine,
ice cream, not including sherbets and
water ices, druggists, for medicine.
and producers of honey.
