IN LETTER TO GOVERNOR
CAMPBELL, COL. YULE
COMMENDS MEN FOR
GOOD DISCIPLINE AND
LOAN CONTRIBUTIONS.
(From Friday's Daily.)
The following letter from Colonel
F H. Yule, commanding the 340th
Field artillery, national army, to Gov
ernor Thomas E. Campbell is of such
importance in regard to the doings of
the Arizona boys, that it is herewith
published:
Headquarters, 340th Field Artillery,
X. A., Camp Funston, Kansas,
October 31. 1917.
From: E. H. Yule, Colonel, 340th
F. A.. X. A.
To: Hon. Thomas E. Campbell,
Governor of the State of Arizona,
State House, Phoenix, Arizona.
Subject: Amount subscribed for bene
fit of football teams, ct cetera.
1. I ajn in receipt of your two let
ters of October 19th and 23rd, enclos
ing checks for $157 and $172 respect
ively. T have turned this money into
the regimental fund, and immediately
had it checked out to the eight organ
izations of the regiment, one-eighth
to each, viz; to Headquarters Com
pany, Supply Company, BattericsA,
B, C, D, E and F.
2. All of the above organizations
have football teams, and they certain
ly appreciate having ihc money. We
have had several intra-rcgimcntal
games, but have not, as yet played
anybody outside of the regiment. The
men derive a great deal of benefit
from playing football and practising.
3. Within the last three hours, a
football has struck my office window
once, and hit the papcroid roof twice
so I guess they arc getting some en
joyment out of it. Occasionally T
attend "sick-call" and I find that a
great many men arc reporting,
"bunged up'' from playing football
so I guess there is lots going on that
I don't sec: all of which goes to make
a good regiment. As you say in yom
letter you have gotten lots of enjoy
ment out of football: 1 might say that
I also have, although 1 never played
the game. During my college days. I
was considered too scant and light
for football, and was worked oil the
track-team; was in all the long-distance
runs, which, in a way, calls for
about as much courage as playing
football.
4. I am sure that all in the regi
ment appreciate getting the remit
tance from home, and it will be spent'
for football supplies only. In fact.
most of the outfits have already spent
' moiiy for football outfits raised by
subscriptions from the men. Xow
that money is coming from home, this!
releases that much of the battery
funds, which they can use for other
purposes.
5. The regiment is doing very nice
ly, considering the equipment that wc
have to work with. At present wc

$83.40 per capita. Most of the time
during the campaign wc led all of the
regiments of the division, but at last
the Missouri troops beat us out. The
officer 1 had in charge was requested
to figure the per capita amount to sec

a little quiet canvassing that wc did:
he informed me that our per capita
was sufficiently ahead of the other
regiments but it turned out that he
was mistaken in his figures and wc
lost out. Wc all confidently expected
to win in the campaign. About $4,000
more would have put us in thclcad.
I have $1,000 more up my sleeve and
could easily have raised the other
(with a little coercion). I am very
much disappointed over it and I
guess the entire regiment is. How
ever, you can assure the State of Ari
zona the regiment came across nobly
just as I am sure it will always do.

CITY SPRINGS UP ON
SHORES OF FRISCO BAY
SAX FRAXCISCO, Xov. 7. The
L'nitcd States government has taken
over the site of California City, "the
city that was to be". on the East
Marin county shore near here.
It is now buzzing with enterprise,
centering around a big coaling sta
tion. It was recently mentioned as
the site for a naval base and the "city
that was to be" is gradually being
shaped into "the city that is," a war
time. Federal city.
Thirtv or so years ago a band of
capitalists planned a city which was
to rival San Francisco. Ringed by
hills on three sides, with a perennial
calm "sub harbor" on San Pablo bay
connecting with San Francisco bay
and the Golden Gate, the place was
thought to offer an ideal site. To the
northeast loomed Point San Qucntin
like a fortress. Xearby was a cove
where condemned boats were burned.
Many a bark which had sailed all
oceans was brought there and stripped
of her copper and all metal fittings.
Then the torch was applied, usually
at night, and half of the great bay was
illuminated as the vessel burned to
the water's edge. The flames would
bring out the frowning pillars of
the prison on San Qucntin point,
black and monolitic against the fire
crimsoncd sky.
For various reasons the city ven
ture collapsed. Money was lacking
and colonization efforts failed. A
large powder mill and a brick works
which were started closed down and
the place was left to much of its ele
mental loneliness until recently.
supply the needs of those associated
with us as well as our own. A new
light shines about us. The great
duties of a day awaken a new and
greater national spirit in us. Wc shall
never again be divided or wonder
what stuff we arc made of.
"And while wc render thanks for
these things let us pray Almighty God
tllat in all humbleness of spirit we
may look always to Him for guidance;
that we may be kept constant in the
spirit and purpose of service; that by
His grace our minds may be directed

TALK OF RAISING
THE DRAFT AGE
TOjORTY
WE MUST MAKE PREP
ARATIONS, SAYS CON
GRESSMAN KAHN AS IF
THE WAR WAS GOING
TO LAST FOREVER.
WASHIXGTOX, Xov. 8. Shall
the present selective conscription act
be amended? Shall the ages of those
subject to its operations be revised
both upward and downward?
These arc to be among the big
questions argued as soon as congress
assembles for its regular session in
December. Congressman Julius Kahn
has announced his intention of pro
posing an amendment to compel the
registration of all citizens from 18 to
40 inclusive, giving America a reserve
of 21,000,000 to draw upon. The
present ages arc from 21 to 31.
The war department's original plan
was for men from 18 to 25. There
was objection to taking those who
did not yet have a vote, and congress
amended the act to make it read from
21 to 40. Then there was objection
that between the ages of 31 and 40 a
vast majority of men had dependent
families. So the present figures were
finally reached.
Right after Kahn announced his in
tention of proposing an amendment in
December, it was stated that Secre
tary of War Baker was opposed to
any change. Kahn wired back from
California that at least part of his
amendment was misunderstood. He
docs not mean that boys of 18 to 21j,iustry jlavc i,ccn drawn up and will
shall be sent into the trenches, but jjC ,)Ut jnto operation as soon as the
he docs want them registered and
given preliminary training, so that
when they become 21 they will be
ready to take their place in the fight
ing lines. He also said that no man
over 31 would be called for active
service until those in the present draft
limits had all been called up for ex
amination and possible service.
"Wc must make preparations," said
Kahn, "as if the war were going to
last forever. That will be the surer
way to bring the war to a successful
end and to establish a peace that will
last.';
Major General Crowdcr, provost
marshal o.f the army, who drew tip the
practical working arrangements for
the draft said:
"1 have no official opinion to voice
on the question of raising the age
limit above 30 years. As a practical
matter, it is not necessary to raise the.
age limit. Wc have a great reservoir
still untapped in the men between 21
and 31. Wc examined only a little
more than 2,000.000 out of the 10,000.
000 registered, in order to secure our
army of over 600,000, and all wc have
to do is to go on and examine the
other 8,000,000.
"The statistics of the draft have
not yet been compiled, but it is easy
to guess that between the ages of 26
and 31 the causes for exemption art
more numerous.
"Matrimony is not the most favor
able institution for creation of an
army; wives and home tics form an
antagonistic interest to army work.
The younger men have fewer of these
tics.
"There may be good teasons for
discussing an increase in the age
limit. I have no doubt Congressman
Kahn has excellent reason for intro
ducing his proposal."
COUNTY EXHIBITS ARE
FORWARDED TO PHOENIX
(From Thursday's Daily.)
A carload of exhibits from various
parts of Yavapai county, to be shown
at the coming State fair at Phoenix,
left this city last night, after a whole
day had been spent in loading the
articles in the big car which had been
furnished free by the Santa Fe Rail
road Company.
In the shipment were 35 boxes of
fruit, ten bales of hay, 30 crates of
vegetables, 106 sacks of minerals and
ore, crates of pictures, much decorat
ing material and many other miscel
laneous displays.
The county's agricultural and horti
cultural display at the fair will be in
charge of John I'.iaiicoui, while Miss
Grace M. Sparkcs, secretary of the
chamber of commerce, will have per-
onal supervision over the mineral ctf-
hibits. The displays which were for
warded yesterday are said to be
among the finest ever sent from this
countv to the State fair, as great
strides have been made in the way of
agricultural and horticultural produc
tion in the county since the last ses
sion of the Phoenix fair. The mining
exhibit is also said to be perhaps the
best ever sent from this county, and
the exhibits of former years were no
small things, either.
USE HAY BOXES
TO SAVE COAL SUPPLY
THE HAGUE, Xov. 7. Holland
ers are using "hay boxes" or home
made Tireless cookers, to save the
diminishing supply of coal. These
articles arc ordinary wooden boxes
thickly lined with hay but in some
caes a heavy padding of uewspapei
is used for packing.
In many towns tfie bakers arc cou-
centrating in a, few central establish
ments. Public kitchens seem likely to
become a general institution in the
coming Winter, not only among the
poor, but among the more well-to-do.
A coal rationing system has been in
force in Holland for some time, the
amount apportioned to each user be
ing changed as the supply increases or
diminishes. Further economy in coal
consumption is inevitable. Railroad
traffic is again to be cut down. The
closing of factories for lack of fuel is
increasing and public lighting has
been reduced. The use of gas and
electric light is to be rationed through
out Holland during the Winter
months.
The production of the country's
own coal mines is only a fifth of the
normal consumption. The unrestrict
ed submarine war, coupled with con
ditions imposed by the British gov
ernment, almost entirely stopped the
supply of coal usually imported from
the United Kingdom. Germany some
time since cut down its coal deliveries
to the Xcthcrlands to 330,000 tons a
month. The Germans offered to guar
antee a certain fixed coal supply again
but intimated that if Holland wanted
more it should send Dutch labor to
the German mines to raise it. But it
was publicly declared by the govern
ment that this was impracticable.
Fear of complications with the En
tente Powers would alone probably
suffice to keep Holland from adopting
Lthis plan.
BREAD INDUSTRY SOON
UNDER U. S. CONTROL
WASHIXGTOX, Xov. 8. A nat
tcmpt to reduce bread prices will be
the next move of the food administra
tion in assuming control of the prin
cipal food commodities. At the re
quest of Administrator Hoover, Presi
dent Wilson will issue within a few
days an order directing that every
baker in the country be required to
do business under Federal license.
Retaliations governing the baking in-
executive order is issued, mey win
provide a standard sized loaf of prob
ably two sizes and standardization of
the bread content. A bread formula
has been selected and bakers will be
permitted to use no other.
The new war bread will contain a"
reduced amount of fats, as both the
lard and milk content will be cut down
considerably. It probably will be pro
duced in 20-ouncc and 10-ouncc loaves.
j;0 ,,r;cc w;jj be fixed outright, but
the regulations will prescribe tliat
only reasonable prices may be charg
ed. Consumer's committees have re
ported to the administration that in
most places loaves of this size can be
sold at ten and five cents respectively.
It is believed likely that before
many months, bakers may be required
to add a certain amount of corn flour
in.baking bread. Dietetic experts now
arc working out formulas containing
wheat flour substitutes.
MANY PROFITING BY
NEW MINING REGULATION
By Associated Press.
A great many mine owners and
prospectors, have already taken ad
vantage of the Federal law, recently
enacted, which exempts all mining
property from annual assessment
work during the years 1917 and 1918,
and according to County Rccordct
M'cSwiggiu, a great many of the re
quired notices of intention have al
ready been filed in his office, and the
indications arc that more than 2,000
of the notices will be on file by the
first of the coining year.
The notices must be on file by the
31st day of December next, and arc
merely the expression of the intention
of the owner of the claims to continue
holding them without doing the usual
work. The affidavits do not, how
ever, exempt a locator from doing the
original location work, this to be per
formed as usual within a period of 90
days from the time the location no
tices are filed.
The exemption from assessment
work was the result of an agitation
started in congress some months ago,
it having been represented to that (
bodv that on account of being drafted
into the army, many prospectors and
mining men would be unable to ar
range for work to be done on their
ground, and that in fairness to the
men who were serving their country
:.. ti, ..r.t- iim ,iom1 work should be

MEET TUESDAY
27
SUPERIOR COURT ACTING
ON REQUEST OF COUN
TY ATTORNEY AND
SHERIFF SUMMONS THE
INQUISITORIAL BODY.
(From Friday's Dailv
Orders were issued out of the Su
perior court yesterday afternoon, fol
lowing a written request filed by
County Attorney F. L. Haworth and
Sheriff J. F. Young, calling for a ses
sion of the grand jury, the body to
convene in this city on the morning
of Tuesday, Xoveinbcr 27th. The
clerk of the court was instructed to
draw the jury on Xovcmbcr 12th.
While the court officials refuse to
disclose the reason, if any exists, for
the summoning of the grand jury, it
is generally believed that the session
is desired for the purpose of investi
gating the gambling which is report
ed to be going on in various parts of
the county. While the recent crusade
against the alleged participants in
this forbidden form of amusement is
generally supposed to have put a stop
to a large part of the gaming, it ap
pears that there urc indications that
many .other gac.es arc being operated
which divers officials have apparently
failed to put a crimp in, and the ef
forts of the jury are desirable at this
time in an attempt to eliminate the
activities of the devotees of the god
of chance.
Yavapai county has not been blessed
with a session of the grand jury since
1913. The present session was called
at the instance of Sheriff Young and
County Attorney Haworth, who inti
mated to the court that there were a
number of odds and ends which a jury
might aid materially in cleaning up.
No Notice of Trial.
Counsel representing the Arizona
Copper Queen Mining Company yes
terday petitioned the court, asking for
a suspension of the judgment which
had been rendered against the com
pany in favor of Horace E. Mann, the
plaintiff having been awarded the sum
of $1,000 for personal injuries. Ac
cording to the statement of the de
fendant's attorney, the company did
not get a formal notification of tlu
fact that a suit had been started
against it and hence did not appear in
court to contest the case at the time
it was tried by a jury. In view of this
fact, the company believes that the
judgment should be suspended. The
matter was taken under advisement,
and a decision will bc rendered on
December 1st.
Declared Insane.
Louis Matlyjak, a resident of the
Jerome district, was yesterday de
clared to be of unsound mind by a
lunacy commission composed of Drs.
Looncy and Judge. The man was or
dered to the State insane asylum, and
was taken there yesterday by Sheriff
Joe Young. Mrs. Rcish, who was
found to be insane several days ago.
was also taken to the Phoenix insti
tution yesterday.
Welsh Still In Custody.
Mat Welsh, now held in jail on a
charge of gambling, appeared in court
yesterday by his attorney and asked
that he be released from custody,
having secured the signatures of
Henry Brinkmcycr and George RufT
ncr to his bond. Welsh had been at
liberty under a bond of $300, but his
bondsmen surrendered him and col
lected the cash which they had had
up for his appearance. When the
matter came up again yesterday, the
court decided that it would bear fur
ther investigation, and continued the
case indefinitely.
MILL IN ACTION
(From Friday's Daily.)
Arrivals yesterday from Hooper re
ported the mill near that place of M.
Roland as running day and night on
ore from his Little Hoy mine. It vias
rcponcu uic recovery was rumuiiK
high, the values being gold. Roland
luas auc tiircc runs (luring mc aum
incr, developing the ore and running
the mill without help. He now has a
force of three miners employed, and
the cleanup from present indications
will reach to over $3,500 from a batch
of less than 100 tons. Only the first
class ore is being treated for the
present, all free milling.
USE WINDOW BOXES
FOR RAISING FOOD
SAX FRAXCISCO. Xov. 8. Food
conservationists here are preparing to
conserve with a vengeance.
Certain residents believe that win
dow boxes can produce something be
side flowers, and in places where there
arc no backyards these boxes can be
"put out" in potatoes, carrots, beets
and other vegetables.
"There is no reason why every oo
cupant of an apartment or other habi
tation where there is no back yards
should not do his or her bit toward
helping along the food saving cam
paign," these conservationists state.
Special window boxes, bigger and
deeper than the average, and capable
of producint: a good supply of vege
tables, art
chcduled to make their
appearance soon.
GRAND
NOVEMBER
JURY SESSION OTPER BASIN IS
NOT A CAUSE TO HAVE FIRST
FOR ALARM ; ILL PLANT
OFFICERS WHO CALLED
SESSION OF INVESTI
GATORS SAY THEY HAD
NOBODY IN MIND; JUST
A MATTER OF FORM.
(From Saturday's Daily.)
A county official who was dircctly
connccted with the matter of calling
the grand jury which is to convene
on Xoveinbcr 27th, was yestcrday
qucstioncd as to the significance of
the calling of the body, and asked if
any particular happening or circum
stances occurring lately had made it
advisable to have the inquisitorial
body gather.
In reply to the question, the official
replied as follows:
"In calling for the session of the
grand jury, wc have had in mind no
particular chain of circumstances
which made it necessary for the jury
to convene, but wc merely feci that
inasmuch as the county has had no
grand jury for more than four years,
the presence of such a body may be
instrumental in giving a number of
citizens a chance to come in and tell
their troubles, and cite cases of law-
violation if they can do so. Wc un
derstand that many persons are con
tinually making complaints to the
peace officers regarding some alleged
lawlessness, and whep the complain
ing parties arc asked by the officials
to swear out a complaint against the
law breakers, the kickers refuse to do
so, and wc believe that they can now
have their inning by telling their trou
bles to the jury.
"It was the original plan of the
laws in the Western States to have
the grand juries the sole instrument
through which charges could be made
against an alleged law breaker, and
in the early days, before the practice
of filing informations came into vogue
an offender sometimes had to stay in
jail for six months or a year before
a session of the jury was held which
could cither free him or bring an in
dictment against him. As the jury
could not be in session all the time,
and a great injustice was sometimes
worked on persons who were not
guilty of the crimes with which they
had been charged, the plan of having
the county attorney file informations
against the offenders was originated,
and the usefulness of the grand jury
gradually lessened. However, the
Arizona laws provide that a jury can
be called at least once a year whether
there appears to be any need for its
services or not. The policy of the
county ajtorhcys hereabouts of late
years has apparently been against
railing for sessions of the jury, and
the body has not been called sinci
the early part of 1913.
"While in all probability there arc a
number of flagrant cases of law-brcak-mg,
particularly among the whiskey
sellers, which will receive the atten
tion of the jury, wc had no specific
case or cases in mind at the time the
call was issued. There is no doubt
but that thecall for the jury will serve
to temporarily check the activities of
i number of the gamblers and boot
leggers, because such persons always
rightly fear the consequences of a
brush with this body, and the calling
of the jury will be worth while if it
only causes a few of these law-breakers
to suspend business for only a
ihort time."

GARFORD SYNDICATE DE
CIDES TO EQUIP COP
PER HILL WITH RE
DUCTION WORKS IN IM
MEDIATE FUTURE.
(From Friday's Daily.)
The Garford syndicate is to install
on its Copper Hill mines in Copper
Basin a reduction plant, and at pres
ent a force is employed in dismant
ling a mill on Cherry creek, purchased
a short time ago.
This action results from the large
ore tonnage developed and is also for
the purpose of reducing the cost of
transportation, the raw product now

After making good gains last vvccK,
he hog market took a turn downward

it Chicago, but not here on the early
uarkct. Order buyers bought all tHc
cood hogs at steady prices this mori?

:amc out late and paid 15 to 25 lowct-.
ut they got no good hogs, bulk ot

Small Eastern killers are proving a
lowcrful factor in keeping up prices,
ind packers have small chance to bear
trices, with the available supply of
togs barely sufficient to supply cur
cnt needs for fresh pork.
Sheep and Lambs.
The market had two good days last
veck, but has relapsed into its weak
.ml dull position. Some choice lambs
vcrc held at $17.25 here today, but
vith no chance of realizing more
han $16.25 at the outside. Native
ambs sold at $16 and some feeding
anibs brought $16.40. Apathy of
lackers is based on the grounds that
Ircsscd mutton and lamb arc losing
noiicy, but stronger prices arc ex
acted with colder weather. Breed
ng ewes arc plentiful at reduced
riccs, $10.50 to $14.50.
