 SETFOR TODAY

Today at the office of the local board will be held the registration of those young men who have be. come of age since September 2, 1917. The time is set to expire at g o'clock tonight, by which time all those who come under this provision should have registered.
 Notice was given some time ago that the registration would be held on this date and embraces the Tan ana and Tolovana precincts. A. J. Griffin, commissioner at Richardson, will register those appearing from his district and J. J. Dillon will act in the Tolovana. Those coming of age in this period are just as liable to the action of the war board for refusal to register as are those coming within the draft age.

TOMBSTONE IS
 NOW RELIC OF FRONTIER DAY

TOMBSTONE, Ariz., July 30.-The Bird Cage opera house. the Can-Can restaurant, the Red Light saloon and the Tucson stage office remain as relics of Tombstone's one time glory as a mining camp. These old build ings were once the scenes of the pioneer Arizona mining camp but are now occupied by bats and are slowly falling into decay.
 The Bird Cage opera house was the most famous in the territory. It is rambling, two-story structure with the glass in the rough board front broken by the elements. A long bar occupies one end of the building while the piano players raised platform faces it at the op- posite end. It was on this platform that the famous sign hung which read: Do not shoot the piano player. He is doing the best he can." A gal lery extends around three sides of the opera house and the stage oc- cupies the fourth side. On this stage the most famous variety performers from San Francisco appeared in the old days. Autographs announcing their coming still hang on the walls of the opera house, the ink still bright upon them. A dumb waiter connects the bar with the gallery above where drinks were served at tables placed in each of the little rooms which open onto the big danc. ing floor. Many killings have oc. cured in the Bird Cage and it has been the scene of a number of west. ern stories Of frontier life.
 At the Can-Can restaurant steaks once sold for $5 each and men waited in line to be served, at the height of the Tombstone gold boom. The Red Light saloon was gambling house and the discarded roulette and faro layouts may be seen stack. ed in the rear of the big building with its broken bar and mahogany fixtures. The stage office is an adobe building with a corral flanking it and it was there that the stage from Tucson pulled in each day and the early settlers received their mail from the outside world. Another relic of old Tombstone is the monu. ment erected to Ed Schefflein the founder of Tombstone and the man who gave it his name. The monument is built of boulders from Schefflein's first mine.
 A cowboy in the Panhandle told Schefflein that he would not find gold but tombstone in his quest of gold mine in the Huachuca mountains. Schefflein found gold and named the town Tombstone. re. membering his friends prediction. When he died his body was returned here and the tombstone erected at the spot where he made the gold strike that caused a great rush to this camp.

Helena.-Sam D. Coca, state chair
man, called the newly created war

Mr.. Coca read a telegram from Re
gional Director Cotton asking that
steps be taken at once for the manu-
facture in Montana of the rear axle
of army trucks, the government fur
nishing steel and dies. Plants enter
ing into the manufacture of the axle
must be equipped with drop hammers
of not less than 1900 pound stroke.
Creation of the state advisory board
of the federal employment service was
perfected by the organization commit
tee, consisting of Scott Leavitt, state
director; NJ. NJ. Donoghue, president
of the state federation of labor and
w. A. Selvidge of Billings. appointed
on this committee at a meeting in Den
Yer several weeks ago.

state advisory board. while NJ. NJ. Don
oghue of the Montana Federation of
Labor, and James F. O'Brien of Butte,
president of the Metal Trades council,

Further Details Announced of Condt
tons of Leaning Federal
Money

Great Falls-Further details of the
procedure for loaning federal funds to
needy farmers have been announced by
G. j. Christie, assistant secretary of
the interior, who opened an office here
to make the distribution.
Each applicant must have the APP
proval of the community committee
before the farm loan banks will dis
burse the funds.
The community committee consists
of the members of the county farm
bureau in each community and those
people have first-hand evidence as to
the applicants sincerity in borrowing
money to raise crops and especially
his ability to borrow money from other
sources than from the government.
Each application blank forwarded to
the office of the federal seed grain
loan bureau in this city will have at
tached to it the community commit
tees opinion of the applicants ability
to farm the acreage he asks funds to
cover
Blanks for that purpose are now
being distributed among the county
agents who will place them in the
hands of each community committee
and they in turn will return them to
the office here with the original APP
plication of the applicant seeking
loan.

Four questions which every Ameri-

And that every pound of merchan-

And that every foot of good road

And that every inch of bad road-of

farmers profit that much less than it

we are to protect the commerce and

Of highways will become useless I'M
less the resurfacing of these roads is
encouraged so that the foundations
may be saved. In road construction,
the principal cost is in the foundations.
The top, or road surface, naturally is
the first to give way, break and finally
grind up and disappear, leaving the
foundations exposed.
FOUNDATIONS costing hundreds of
millions of dollars now are in danger
Of being ruined forever, when they
could be saved by proper resurfacing,

the costly foundations will have to be

theory that men and materials are

a mistake which should be corrected.
Without the highways the business of
the country would be crippled. The
roads must be preserved both for war
purposes and for the safeguarding of |

medical attention, and $1,000 for costs
and exemplary damages.

at the time, but claimed that Damas-
Gus had insulted his daughter. A
