Medical Board to Aid Draft

Idaho has been divided into twelve
districts, for each of which a medical
board has been appointed to assist
in the second draft. The appointment
of the physicians who are to help was
made by Captain w. H. Carithers of
Moscow, assigned by President Will
son as an officer of the medical re-
serve corps of the army and aide to
the governor. He was nominated by
Governor Alexander and assumed his
duties with headquarters at Boise
A total of Ga physicians and den
lists have been selected by Captain
Carithers to assist in the work. The
advice that these medical advisory
boards are to give is to the examin-
ing physicians of the local county
exemption boards who may, when in
doubt as to the physical qualifica-
lions of registrant, refer the regis
trant to the advisory board, which
will then pass upon the case. This
will eliminate large percentage of
the physical disqualifications that
took place under the first draft at
cantonment camps.

Lumbermen "Stumped."

Lumber camp and mill operators of
Idaho are holding almost daily meet
ings in the effort to agree on the
method by which they will conform
with the new Idaho workmen's com
pensation law, which will go into eff
feet January 1.
The law allows the employers three
options: To carry insurance in an
outside company which will meet the
states requirements, to take advan-
tage of the state compensation insur-
ance fund, or to make available indi-
vidual funds which will furnish COM
pensation to injured workmen or fur
nish them hospital attendance.
The problem is complicated for
those who want to secure protection
by policy in an outside insurance
company by the fact that no compan-
les have been authorized to write
policies of this sort in Idaho and the
additional fact that the state insur-
ance commissioner has declined to is
sue such authorizations until the law
has gone into effect the first of the
year.
No unanimity exists among the
lumbermen as to the best course to
pursue.

The leaderships in the general list

United States Steel which touched the
equivalent of a new high record price
for all time, crossing 1874, and both the
common issues of Bethlehem Steel,
which pushed through $50 to new high
levels since the distribution of the
stock.
A sensational feature was United

velopments of strong bullish influence
as it was to discover a total absence of

with favor by the bears.

Little Steamer Ellen
Fast On Rocks Of
Three-Mile Rapids

The Dalles, Or, June 7.-Efforts are
being made today to reach the river
steamer Ellen, which grounded upon
the rocks of Three Mile rapids about
three miles east of here last night.
The Ellen is stranded in the middle
of the Columbia which now, swelled by
the melting of snow in the mountains,
is over half mile wide here and SO
swift that it was Impossible to reach
the men on the Ellen during the night
If the steamer should go to pieces,
river men here today believe that it
would be impossible for Shose on the
boat to swim ashore.
Several men in rowboat were able
to reach the Ellen. The Columbia
river has been dropping steadily dur

the Ellen off the rock without serious
damage is increasing, The captain and

idea about being the first girls in the

fact they didn't have enough money.
However, by pooling their savings ac-
count, they managed to raise $50 and
this morning appeared at the U. S. Ma.

bond. They are entitled to one Liberty
