.SELECTTVE
CONSUMPTION
Governments Plan to ConsCript
Young Men Outlined by the War
Department.

An official outline of the method
by which military registration is to
be carried out under the selective
conscription bill was made public
Saturday, with an appeal from the
War Department for the voluntary
services of state election and other
officials in order that there will be
no delay in enrolling and classifying
millions of men for army duty.
Careful preparation has been
made to place the whole task in the
hands of civilian officials of the
states and to remove every sugges-
ton of military force in putting the
measure into effect. The only func-
ton of the Federal Government will
be supervision through the office of
the Provost Marshal General. The
departments statement follows:
There was time in the country's
history when military enumerators,
backed by bayonet, went out among
the people to take compulsory
service census. Today, under the
principle of universal liability to
service, the execution of the law is
put into the hands of the people.
Everyone Must Register
The approval of the new national
army bill and the Presidents proc
lamation Hereunder will be ooinei-
dent. All persons within the age
limits prescribed will be required to
present themselves for registration
at the customary voting places in
the voting precincts in which they
have their permanent homes on a
day which the President will an
nounce. The probability is that
from 10 to Is days will elapse be-
tween approval of the bill and reg
istration day.
The Governor of each state will
be the chief of registration therein.
The machinery of registration in
each county is to be in charge of
the Sheriff, the County Clerk and
the County Physician, acting ex Of
icio, unless Il different board shall
be announced by the Governor. In
cities containing populations of
more than 10000, the registration
will be under the control of the
Mayor and selected boards of regis
tration. In order that the desig-
mated county and city officials, and
the people generally, can get Il clear
understanding of the census meth
DDS, the following brief outline is

Possibly no death in years has
caused the universal sorrow and re-
greet among all classes of people as
the tragic death of Mr.. Robin II.

last Wednesday morning. Mr..

Mr.. White could neither reach the

"Bob" as he was Familiarity call
ed by legion of friends, was one
of the most popular men that ever
lived in this city. He took great
interest in all public affairs and al
ways gave literally of his time and
means to any enterprise started for
the public good. He was the first
Scout Master for the Boy Scouts in
this city and at the time of his
death was Secretary of the Health
and Welfare League, was a member
of the Elks and Masonic lodges and
also member of the State Board
of Pharmacy. AT the time of his
death he was forty-three years of
age. He had been in the drug bust
ness here for a number of years.
OF a kind and sympathetic nature
the poor and needy always found
in him a friend ready to hear their
story of sorrow and sickness and
willing to help them not only with
words of cheer and comfort but
with medicine for their ills and
money or supplies for their other
needs. 1t is sad indeed to see one
so well equipped for life to be so
unexpectedly taken, but God in His
infinite wisdom knows best and
while it is hard for us to under
stand, still we bow in humble sub
mission to His will.

EXECUTIVE IN
 CHARGE OF R. R.
 TO COME NORTH

In letter written to Thomas Riggs, Jr., member of the Alaskan Engineer ing Commission, Hon. H. A. Meyer, as- sistant secretary of interior, states he expects to visit Alaska during the coming summer. He has executive charge of the railroad work in Alaska and he intends to visit not only the coast end but the interior also.
 The assistant secretary, before be- ing promoted to his present position was private secretary to Secretary Lane. In that position he gained an intimate knowledge of the railroad work and was we'll qualified to take up the duties which fell to him in his new place.
 Mir. Meyer has the distinction of be- ing one of the youngest men in the history of the country to hold the po- sition which he now occupies. He is only 30 years of age, but was given the position because of the great ex- ecutive ability he displayed when pri- vate secretary to Mir. Lane.
 AS Meyer has been a good friend not only of Alaska, but O. the inter for, he will be given a big reception upon his arrival, and it is likely that it will be an occasion for general holiday.
