work for the present, Dr. Stockton, the
third member not being called actively

minute oil the day and some times at
night. A sort of ''war Office has
been made out of the judges chambers
and here busy scene meets the visitor.
Supplies for the various precincts are
being allotted and prepared for ship
ment, Deputy Quinlan and Auditor
Eimers being in charge of this work,
while Sheriff Yates is kept more than
busy looking after the securing of mes
sengers to carry the supplies and in
structions to the remote precincts as
well as notifying those who have been
appointed to register the men. On ac-
count of the short time between now
and registration day and the size and
inaccessibility of the county, the job
here is big one.

been dispatched by Sheriff Yates, Ben
Shaw going to the Thunder Mountain
and Warren sections, Jack Callard to
Border, Ten Mile and Orogrande, John

section of the country tributary to the
Clearwater river. Several other depu-
ties are to be selected to assist in carry
ing out the work. Registration will be
at the usual voting places and there is
no chance whatever to avoid it if you
are male citizen between the ages of
21 and 80 inclusive. The law is plain,
no matter if you are physically unfit,
have dependents, are married, are a
subject of a foreign country or may not
have voted the fact remains that if you
are male between the ages of q and
30, inclusive you must register on June
5. The penalty is severe being not less
then one year in federal prison after
