You will no-- tice that this is number dne of the 48th volume. Forty-eigh- t years is a long life for a small country paper, but this sheet has weathered the storms of the long cold winters and the broiling sun for 48 years, and yet it is still one of the livest creatures in the newspaper world today. One might think that in all those years it would begin to look bat-- tered and torn, but not so; it as fresh and clean as ever and still brings the local news to the rest- - dents of the camp in its usual manner. It is a pleas- - ant visitor to thousands of homes not alone . in Bingham, but to practically every state in the Union. Rf PORTS FPOM V. S. SMELT-I- E Ml TO STATE BOARD Reporting to the state, board of equalization the production of its Bing-ham mines during the year 1917, the United States Smelting company says the output was 203,312 tons, from which the following values were ex-tracted: Gold, 28.063 ounces; silver, 826,7i51 ounces; lead 17,712,924 pounds; zinc, 10,1175,014 pounds.

THE WHITE SLAVERY URGE : mm GEORGE YOKO IS DISMISSED The white slavery charge against George Yoko, Japanese, was dismissed by the Federal authorities Tuesday. Yoko was defended by Attorney A. C. Cole. This case had its origin in this com-munity some time in January and was the development of a triangular squab-ble, the other parties to the deal being a Greek a sort of Beau 'Brummel and a queenly maiden from Missouri, known to her friends in this section as "Billie." The Jap started the ball roll-ing by trying to have Millie pinched for stealing $100 from, him. Billie de-nied stealing themoney and quit the camp at once, going to Salt 'Lake with her Greek friend, where she was ar-rested. Then the Jap was arrested on a white slave charge. Billie was able to convince the court that she had not really stolen the Jap's money and she was released. IBut Yoko's case came under the Fed eral jurisdiction and a thorough inves-tigation was made before the case was called. When the matter was taken up it was found that there was no evi-dence that he had violated the Mann act and he was dismissed. STORY OF SALE OF RED CROSS WORK IS A BIG FAKE ( A copy of a paper published at As-pen, Colorado, was brought to this of-fice a few days ago. in which was fea-tured a letter from a soldier some-whef- e In France complaining severely that the soldiers had to pay for Red Cross garments, an4 had to pay for the tobacco and cigarettes which had al-ready been paid for by subscriptions of their friends In this country. The letter also stated that one soldier bought a sweater which had been made by his mother to be given to a soldier, and that he found a note from his mother in It. 'We have heard the sweater story before and we are In-clined to doubt It, as it appears to have always been some other fellow who bought it. 'With reference to the to-bacco and cigarettes it is hardly likely that much of the free tobacco has reached France yet The funds raised In this state for that purpose have not yet been sent forward, and it may take some time for the full details to be worked out. Bingham people have contributed between $500 and $1000 for a soldiers' tobacco fund. and Jf every community has done equally as well all the American soldiers in France will have enough free tobacco to lat them .for many months. It Is not likely that the soldiers will have to spend their money to buy tobacco which, has already been paid for by their friends. . , . . 3 SONS IN ARMY; FATHER WILLING TO GO TOO J. T.

LOCAL RESTAURANTS LOSE FOOD--, ON MEATLESS, DAYS; In talking with the proprietors of lo--, ' cal restaurants it Is learned that the. 1 greatest inconvenience or rather the greatest loss they sustain; on account of the meatless days Is duo to the fact , , that they have to throw aWay certain articles of focd which on other days are converted Into. hash. One party - . said that lie thought t would be help-- ful to allow hash served on meatless-- . days. There Is so much scrap merits left over from the previous day that V might be put to a good use and some of this will not keep for two days, and Is therefore thrown away.
