The grand total assessed valuation Last year's total assessed valuation was $30,096,421 and the increase this year is about one is 231,595,312. million dollars. The detailed report, giving the als only, is as follows: Assesed by County CITY, BOX ELDER COUNTY, UTAH, TUESDAY, JULY 1918. 16, tot- THE entire national guard of the state of Utah, as it existed on Aug. having been drafted into federal service on that date, and by operation of law discharged from the militia, the government of the United States has called upon the state of Utah to organize a national guard force under the provisions of the act of congress approved June 3, 1916, to consist of one regiment of infantry. The laws under which the national guard is created contemplate the following conditions: Home rendezvous with suitable armories. A fair degree of permanency of personnel, which Is to he drawn from the immediate vicinity where the organization is located. The probability that the organization will be maintained for a period of years; kept alive by and acquisition of recruits. Weekly drills at the armory. Development of a force, equipped and thoroughly trained and disciplined, which can be called upon for military service in time of emergency. The national guard Idea does nod extend to, or contemplate, the federal recognition of militia units with no armories, no grouping of personnel, according to localities, no probable permanency of existence, merely as a matter of expediency during time of war. The law authorizing the national guard is designed to give federal aid to states, and assistance and a certain amount of supervision from the federal government, in the organization and training of national guard troops in the various states, with a view to providing the states with a suitable military force for emergency use, the federal government retaining the right to call or draft the national guard into United States service when necessary. No new national guard nits will be recognized which do not haveSuitable armories. Personnel grouped by locality, sc as to insure the possibility of attendance drill. Probable permanency. Federal recognitin as "national guard" is entirely separate and apart from a "call or draft into federal service." It must be made manifest to all concerned that national guard units recognized during the present emergency may anticipate federal service. The secretary of war has definitely announced that national guard troops, recognized since August 5th, 1917, cannot be used to advantage as any part of the forces of the United States in training for overseas service, and will not be drated for such service. The national guard is subject to call into the service of the United States in its capacity as militia for the usual constitutional purposes to suppress insurrectfon, repel Invasion and execute the laws of the Union. Members of the national guard are legally liable to draft into the military service of the United States under section 3, act of June 3, 1916, for any purpose requiring the use of troops in excess of those of the army of the United States immediately available. National guard troops in state service do not constitute a part of the army of the United States, and, therefore, their personnel of selective draft age is subject to draft into federal service under the selective draft service regulations without change of draft classification. In response to the call of the federal government and subject to the above conditions, I, Simon Bamberger, governor of Utah and commander-in-chie- f of the militia of the state, do hereby call into service such portion of the unorganzed militia of the state of Utah as is necessary to form one regiment of infantry of the national guard of Utah. The acting adjutant general of the state of Utah is hereby authorized and directed to take such steps as may be necessary to recruit one regiment of infantry by volunteer enlistment. Units of such regiment of infantry will be located in SaltLake, Davis, Weber, ox Elder, Cache, Utah and Sanpete counties. The state council of defense, the county councils of defense and all good citizens of the counties enumerated will place themselves at the disposal of the acting adjutant general and will assist him in every way possible in the speedy recruiting of the force we are called upon to furnish. citizens between the The militia of the state consists of all for I recruits to for our new na18 45. wish and of appeal especially ages tional guard regiment to the men who are more than 31 years of age and to the men between the ages of 21 and 31 who have been placed in deferred classes because of dependency or engagement In a necessary occupation. There is no immediate prospect of this new force we are organizing being called Into active service, but It will afford an excellent medium for splendid training and will form a reserve force that may be used in the event of an citizens, unexpected emergency. It is possible, therefore, for where obligations are such that they are not able to enter the military service of their country, to join this force and serve without any unusual Many of this class of citizens have frequently asked that an opporbe given them for service that they could render withorut necessitunity their leaving the state or causing unnecessary hardship on their detating pendents.

Dear Folks: About the time you were writing the much appreciated letter, I was speeding in a pullman across the states of Washington and Minnesota I have been in Camp Merritt since the 28th. We expected to be here only a few days but we stayed much longer, nearly twice as long as we anticipate'!. I have been in New York twice last week. The first time 1 took two lawyers to the various amusements and parks. There is plenty of life everywhere and no form of light enjoyment lacking, so we saw everything that a fellow dare see in such a tow n as New York. Saturday, 1 went in again with two and the boys, one from California other a Butte boy, who wanted us to see a friend of his fathers. By knowing the town very well I managed to get the boys to 42 Brodway by 12 o'clock noon. It was at this address that Mr. J. rt. Roberts, the man we were wanting to see, had his office. Mr. Roberts is director of the Amer' can Copper works and a very wealthy man, too. He adopted us for the afternoon. The first thing he invited us to dinner at tiie most stylish cafe in New York. Can you imagine us following our host into such, a place? We had on our heavy trench shoes. The floors were so slick we nearly broke our necks. It seeme'd to us we were having more of a skating party among those swells of the town. I made an apology to Mr. Roberts for not being up to the style as we had been in the habit of eating everything out of onq plate for over six months. He certainly enjoyed it and said, "I'll lead out and you can o We soon had an audience as I do. for we did everything in unison, four of us, just enough for a squad. When Mr. Roberts took a drink of water we did the same; when he ate a clam, so did we, whether we liked them or not. That whole dinner, to make a long story short, was a genuine moving show, and the fun we had over it! That dinner for four of us only cost Mr. Roberts $17.50. After the stylish feast .we were tasight-seein- g ken on a trip on a boat around Manhatten Islan- -, on which the main part of N. Y. City is located. The trip was especially Interesting because our host knew so much about the terwn and was so anxious to have us know all about it. After the boat trip, we took in Wall Street and Trinity Church and by that time supper hour came around, so he took us to the Grand Central Station He cafe, one ot the finest in town. was anxious to have us see the life of New York. This supper cost $12. When we had finished Mr. Roberts had an appointment for the evening. Now boys, he s:.xl, T'm sorry that I cant go to a good show with you tonight, but I'll be there in spirit, so I'll go to this station and get some good He returned In a few seats for you minutes with three $4 seats for the Winter Garden theatre, then bade us good-by- e and told us to be sure and call on him when we get back from France. The show was a very excellent musical comedy, and lasted from 8 until 11:30. The life of New York this time and they about just begins certainly adopt the old motto, early to bed and early to rise ls good for the preacher guys, but for mine, its up with the chickens until the sun rises; that's the life for them. By 3 a. m we managed to get a pretty good idea of what the high life of I need make no New- York is like. comments about this for you know my ideas about this pretty well already. I suppose if I told you all I saw in New York, I would need more than a few pages of letter paper, so I have to leave a lot to your Imagination, but after all I have said of New York and all that goes with it as well as the expensive feeds, dont think that I enjoyed it any more than the good dinners that you so often prepared and I enjoyed. Its the simple life for me, 1 can assure you. Heres hoping that you all keep well and happy. We expect to begin to contribute to the Atlantic daily about the day after tomorrow. Can you figure this out. By the time this reaches you we will be on the way according to present plans.
