The party started at Jackson Hole
and were three days making the trip.
Included In the party were a number
of railroad officials from California
and an eminent physician OF the Pa
cific coast. "A s0-foot raft was built
and on this the party made their hons
during the passage. They stopped at
convenient spots along the river TO
camp but most of the time were In
rapid transit while the water dashed
against the craft and gave the mem
bers OF the party many thrills Fish
Ing was found to be good. as high as
75 pounds of trout being the catch
of the party In one day.
Irwin Cobb, the celebrated newspa-
per man, writer and lecturer, was to
have been member of the party. but
Mt the last moment found that ia
could not possibly make the trip.
1T was genuine sensation" said At
torney General Walters, speaking Of
the episode. MANY times the water
was up and over the raft, threatening
to take away our beds which we had
elevated to keep them clear Of the
waves"
The attorney general Investigated the
complaints contained in petition
placed before the land board about
the conduct Of the superintendent NJ
the Lava Hot Springs He said he
could not make a statement as to the
conclusion he had reached until he had
formally submitted his findings 20 the
land board, which will probably be
done on Friday. The petitioners asked

WOULDEXAN|NF
Men FOR DRAFT.
AS REGISTERED
Governor Alexander Form.
ally Notified Provost Mar
: shall Plan in His Opinion
Is Fair One to Follow.

Now that county draft boards are
organized and prepared to proceed, Gov
ernor Alexander is In favor Of the ex-
animation Of all registered men under
the draft law. He believes that In all
fairness the men are entitled to know
whether or not they are physically fit
for military service and their listing
would in the end work out as a con-
venience.
In a letter to Provost Marshal Grow
der, Governor Alexander says Under
date of Sept IA, No. $3.50, you ask for
an expression as to the advisability
of examining the whole list of the
men registered under the seleotive
service law of the United States.
u think your suggestions are wise
and | believe an order asking the war
ious boards, without unnecessary
hardship upon them to make an exam
nation of all the men registered n.
the various states would be a step In
the right direction. 1t would thereby
enable a man to know what he may
expect and be ready for the call when
1t should come.
Personally, I believe 1t would en-
courage the young man who is select
ed with the feeling that he has been
chosen by the United States govern
ment and in short time will become
a defender of the nations integrity
and will give him sort of mark IT
distinction that nothing else probably
would do for him. He would feel that
he Is among the chosen few. a priv
lege that cannot be accorded to oil and
1t would awaken In our country a re-
Spouse to the call Of duty by these men
that will have lasting and beneficial
influence upon the life of the nation"
