MAKING RULES
FOR EXEMPTION
Employer Can Make Plea If
Mans Services Deemed
indispensable
FOR THE PUBLIC WELFARE
Local Exemption Boards Will
Be Barred from Industrial
and Farm Questions
FOR THE PUBLIC WELFARE

WASHINGTON, d. c., June A.
Somewhere in this city, their identity
known only to few high officials, a
commission made up of selected law
yers and business men, said to be OF
national prominence, is at work draft
! ing the rules and regulations govern.
ing exemptions from military service
of registered men whose abilities are
| indispensable to the industrial effici-
ency of the United States.
| President Wilson himself must ap-
prove these regulations before they
are adopted.
Service Will Govern Exemptions
Here are the general principles
which will govern them:
G) The individual will not be re-
quired to make a plea for exemption
| if his name is drawn in drawn in the
drafting process. If the employer con-
siders that the services of an en-
ploye are indispensable to the success
full conduct of his business he will be
given an opportunity to say so under
oath. But the point of view will not
be the advantage or disadvantage to
private business, but to the govern
ment and the national defense. Enter
prises in no way related to the ma
tiona1 defense and the war will find it
more difficult to get their men ex-
empted than those Immediately con-
nected with the manufacture of sup
plies or agriculture.
Privileges Of Local Boards
(2) The local exemption boards
will not be permitted to pass on in
dustrial or agricultural exemptions but
upon the question of dependent rela-
tives and whether the individual is or
is not an official of the executive,
legislative or judicial branches of the
state or national governments. They
will examine for serious physical dis
ability, but second examination will
be given on entrances to the army it.
self
(3) The federal review boards
about so in all, will travel through
the several judicial districts of the
United States and hear and examine
applicants for exemptions The com.
position of the federal review boards
is one of the most important things
on which the special committee in
the provost marshal's office is now
working. The hope. is to select for
each board a leading engineer or
technical man and lawyer, and pos.
sibly labor representative, all to be
men of the highest repute indorsed
doubtless as to character and integ-
rity by the federal judges.

Well Knewn Pioneer Of Wy
nooche Valley Passed
Away Last Week
IN THE COUNTY SINCE 1883
Was One Of the Sturdy Pio-
neers Whose Axes Have
Made County Farm.

MONTESANO, June 14.-John Est,
a pioneer Of the Wynooche valley,
died at his home west of this city
last Saturday, after a long illness,
aged n years. The funeral took
place Tuesday afternoon, under the
auspices of the Masonic lodge, of
which he was an esteemed member.
He is survived by his wife and one
son, Nels Est, the we'll known logging
foreman Of Grays Harbor. Nels was
on visit to Denver, and when ad-
vised of his fathers critical condition.
he hurried home, arriving Monday
mornin, too late to see his parent
alive.
John Est was a Scandinavian by
birth, coming to this country when
a young man. Coming with his wife
and young son to this county in 1888,
he took up homestead in the Wy
nooche valley. where he carved a
splendid farm out of the woods, where
the family resided until some years
ago, when he bought a small tract
adjoining Montesano, where he pass
ed the remainder of his days at ease.
Mr.. Est was a typical pioneer of this
section, as is his worthy wife, They
came here imbued with the idea OF
making a farm of their own, and did
it. The hardships incident to the pi-
oneer days were met cheerfully, the
toll regarded lightly in view of the at.
tainment of the object sought-a
home. A man of the strictest integ-
rity, of genial disposition and kindly
heart, John Est enjoyed the respect
of all who had the pleasure of his
acquaintance.

Council, II to !, Votes to
Acquire 100 Acres at
Wishkah Dam Site
KELSEY'S SALARY RAISED
Foot of B Street Is Leased
to Aberdeen Shipbuild-
ing Company

In long session, Wednesday night,
crowded with incident, the city coun.
Gil acquired 100 acres at the Wish.
kah dam site as a watershed; voted,
in consideration of the economical con-
duct of the Wishkah water systems
construction, to raise City Engineer
L. D. Kelsey's salary from 5000 to
$3.50 month for the next six months;
leased to the Aberdeen Shipbuilding
company the foot of B street from
Fourth to Fifth avenues; ordered the
immediate repair of the west ap-
proach to the Heron street bridge;
and transacted considerable routine
business.
BY unanimous vote it was decided
the dam, at a purchase price of $780,
06625, from Edward Lowe of Sagi-
nav, Mich, Eugene France and the
Coats-Fordney Logging company. The
purchase price represents the actual
cost of the land to the sellers, with
interest and taxes for the past two
years. In view of the fact that, by
this purchase, the Wishkah water
system practically is assured against
contagion from logging operations, it
was felt that the price was not i'm
moderate. The money will be paid
from the Wishkah water fund and not
from the cty's regular water fund.
Deeds for mile and a quarter OF
right of way for the Wishkah project
also were turned over by Councilman
James Empey, who had put through
the 100 acre purchase of watershed,
from Charles II. Davis of Saginaw,
Mich. A letter of thanks for this deed
was ordered sent Davis, and one also
to Congressman Joseph w. Fordney.
Expenditures for May on the Wish.
kah system, for materials and labor,
were reported as $147,31O.93, and the
total spent to date as $249, ,7S494. On
Kelsey's showing that $13,76S had
been saved to date, as compared with
estimates for the work, his salary ad-
vance was ordered.
On behalf Of the Aberdeen Ship
-.07 Ning company Attorney T. B.
Bruener's request for lease for five
years of the foot of B street from
Fourth to Fifth avenues was granted.
The vote on granting this request
stood II to l. Councilman Tony Pista,
the lone objector, opined that the land
was needed for future municipal
lighting plant.
Building permits for May were re-
ported as IS, with value of $22,995
Expenses on streets and bridges for
the month were $2,6O2.20.
No bids materializing for the Duffy
street improvement, it was ordered re-
advertised.
Property owners of South Jefferson
street, between Heron and Hume, pc.
titioned for graveling of that street.
and a resolution was ordered drawn
for the improvement and submitted to
the city engineer for report.
