YOUNG MEnVANTED
FOR THE ENGINEERS
IN NATIONAL ARMY
Captain J. D. Watson, in charge of
the Salt Lake recruiting district for
the régulai' army, has sent out an ur
gent appeal for young men from 18
to 21 years of age. They are wanted
for the new regiments of engineers
in the national army. The value of
young men in the army is well recog
nized and it is frequently contended by
officers that hoys from 18 to 21 make
the best soldiers. Captain Watson
points out that the engineer organiza
tions offer big inducements for young
men. When their term of enlistments
expire they will be skilled in one of I
the mechanical trades, such as rail
roading, house building, iron work, saw I
mill work, mining and numerous other I
practical lines.
Handy men having some knowledge
of technical work ran enlist in the ;
engineer icgiments and stand a chance |
of rapid promotion. There Is also the |
assurance that they will see service |
in France* for the big demand is for j
engineers.
The Boise recruiting station still lias
berths for a limited number of cavalry- '
men. It is expected that the vacancies :
will soon be. filled up. Many of the
organizations have not been open for'
several months and others have only |
needed a limited number of recruits to |
fill vacancies. The red-blooded cow- |
puncher who wants to be in his fa- I
vorite line should see Sergeant (V F\ *
«'lark at the Boise reorulting station
at once.
COLORED MEN HAVE
CHANCE TO ENLIST
Colored men now have a chance to go
to the front. For some time the col
ored organizations have had no va
cancies, but an order has just been re
ceived at the local recruiting station
for the regular army that there are a
limited number of vacancies* in the
colored regiments. These units are :
going to France at once and those who!
enlist in them will Hee foreign service. :
The Salt Lake recruiting district
headquarters has sent notice to its sta- j
tiona to bring this to the attention of
ajl colored men so that they may take j
advantage of the opportunity to get
into the service at a time when there
is a chance to see active service. Be
cause the colored organizations have
always been filled up, the eligibles in
Boise and vicinity should lose no time
in getting lined up. The Boise station '
is prepared to send men who are phy
sically fit to Salt Lake from where they j
will be assigned to the regiments that j
bave vacanciea
HIGH SCHOOL NOTES
The high school has been singularly
quite during the past week. School
was dismissed Monday morning that
the students might bid the departing
soldiers farevfcll and as Friday was
school children's day at the fair school
was dismissed agalh. But the most
disquieting was the fact that half the
high school pupils were either picking
or packing fruit. Owing to this It was
possible to hold but few classes, some
having but two or three pupils left.
All the fruit conservation teams were j
called into school on .Monday morning
and reorganized. They were back at
work today.

CROWD JEERS OVER
DECISION IN FIGHT
Salt Lake. Oct. 2.—When Pat Gil
bert, claimant of the intermountain !
lightweight litle, was given the de- I
clsion over Eddie White of San Fran- j
cisco in their six-round main event |
of the Manhattan club's boxing bill
last night, tho crowd hooted and jeered. |
The first two rounds were even; Gil- \
bert. had the third, and in the last ;
ihree rounds White had Gilbert all but j
out. and another round would probably
have been disastrous for Gilbert.
Kid Bromro, another San Francisco |
hoy, won from Kid Mack in four fast
rounds. The gong was all that saved
Mack from a knockout.
Several other four-round amateur
bouts were scheduled.
Piano moving made easy. Call 73.

WARNING AGAINST
PHONY TICKETS FOR
THE WORLD SERIES
Chicago, Oct. 2.—The 1917 model
counterfeiter doesn't bother with such
trifles ns $20 bills or $10 gold pieces.
He goes right out and tries to bunco
the public with phoney world series
tickets—according to the national com
mission.
The commission let the world know I
today that the big city clickers can't
put anything over on it.
"Baseball patrons are warned
against purchasing world series tickets
except through the regular channels,"
read an announcement by the commis
sion.
"It has been reported that a plan for
counterfeiting world series tickets Is
under way. This Information is be
lieved to bs correct."
The commission also admitted its
ability to Sherlock Holmes the festive
speculator.
"Plans have been formulated where
by the management can trace tickets
that have been resold," it announced.
"The management reserves the priv
ilege of refusing admission to any per
sons on tickets purchased from specu
lators."
For the information of the commis
sion, speculators are said to have been
offering grand stand scats in down
town hotels last night—face value $4.50
for three games—for the insignificant
price of $35.
The city council last night passed a
special ordinance against ticket scalp
ers and added a resolution instructing
the White Sox to lam the stuffing out ;
of the Giants for the honor and glory j
of Chicago.
money taken in at the gate during the
world's series between the New York J
and Chicago clubs will be Invested in 1
the second issue of liberty bonds. I
Herrmann announced today that at I
next Friday's meeting of the commis- |
sion in Chicago he will recommend to 1
his colleagues that the monies received
by the commission, the club owners I
and players during the series, except '
such as may be necessary for actual j
expenses, be invested in the bonds.
World series receipts in recent years i
have averaged about $70,000 a game. >
If Herrmann's plan goes through, itjl
would produce at least a quarter of a i
million dollars for the bond issue.
MISKE TO MEET WEINERT
FOR SECOND TIME TONIGHT
New York, Oct. 2.—Billy Miske, St.
Paul's machine gun hitter, will meet
