Of q great war, and the government
win be prompt to express It's appFecta-
ton"
The supplies for the registrars
spoken Of in the letter to the sbertts
as having been sent direct from the
War department have already arrtV-
ed at the Marion county court house.
The letter to the registrars, after
reciting the action OF TIE government
and the governor. says:
You will understand that tie Act
of Congress gives you no option to
decline this duty, but you are requir-
ed, under the penalties provided
therein, to perform the services here
in set forth.
"You viii forthwith call upon the
sheriff Of your county, and get regis
tration blanks, supplies. ETC., furnish
ed by the War department, on which
to make the enrolment.
ION the day designated In the
Presidents proclamation YOU toseth-
er with the registrar of Opposite poll
tics, will sit at the voting places In
your precinct, and enroll the men OF
the indicated class who present tlen1-
selves for enrolment, and fmmedi-
ately thereafter you will make an &C
tive canvass in your precinct go that
no person Of the class indicated Will
be omitted from :he rolls.
Enclosed in this letter is a copy
to the sheriff of your county, from
which you can see that you have am
pie power to call on the. sherth, who
by himself or his deputies will assist
you in any way in your work.
Bear in mind that you have no OPP
ton to leave any ones name of the
register, and to do so is a. violation
of the law. The enrolment does not
mean that all persons enrolled will
have to go to war, but upon the con-
trary, 1t Is the list from which a
board of representative men in your
cwn county will make selection OF
lnen whose military services the ma
zion most needs, and whose civil and
domestic services can best be spared.
"You can appreciate the import
ance Of doing your full duty prompt
", and the efficiency of the whole
system depends primarily upon the
honesty accuracy and prmoptness of
your work.
ut is believed 1t is only necessary
to mention this to secure your COM
plete and hearty cooperation, and
your service will be recognized and
the government prompt to express its
appreciation therefor-and to pay
for such service where pay is de-
mandrd."

proclamation, and when the class from
which soldiers are to come is to be
segregated by draft, of making the
selections from the drafted persons
whose military services the nation
most needs and whose civil and domes-
tic services can best be spared.
Emphasis is placed upon the pro.
visions of this Act making the duties
hereunder compulsory upon yourself
and the other person designated by the
Governor under the Presidents direc.
ton.
I'm making the enrolment the regis.
trars appointed for the last general
election have been and are designated
registrars to conduct the enrolment
Of the persons indicated in the Presi-
dents proclamation. 1t is the duty
Of the personss of the indicated class
to present themselves at their respec-
tive voting precincts for enrolment.
and the failure so to do subjects them
to pains and penalties. The registrars
will sit at the voting places within
their respective precincts on the day
or days indicated in the Presidents
proclamation, and register all persons
presenting themselves. And on the day
following begin to enroll all persons
of the designated class within their
respective precincts who did not pre-
sent themselves for registration. They
shall complete the work as rapidly as
possible and turn over the registration
to the county clerk Of the county. In
this connection 1t is the duty of the
sheriff of each county to furnish, II
necessary, a sufficient number Of depu'
ties to see that all persons Of the des'
ignated class present themselves for
enrolment, and when necessary to
make arrests Of those who may refuse
to be registered, or who in any way
interfere or impede the registrars in
their work.
"For the purpose Of expedition the
registrars have been notified to call
on you forthwith for their supplieS
which have been sent you direct from
the War department And you are in.
to advise this office forthwith
by wire If any registrar fails to pre-.
sent himself in time.
"Your attention Is invited to the
fact that two registrars have been EN-.
ployed in each precinct and two per.
sons of opposite politics have been put
on your board. The reason for this
is obvious. Our country Is in great
war. 1t is necessary that we utilize
and conserve our man.power. We must
not have any suspicion of partisan
or unfair methods in the execution of
this law.
ut is hoped and urged that you
take steps to get the registrars start.
ed promptly, and that your board get
together and organize at Its earliest
convenience, advising this office of
such organization. Wire for any IN.
formation desired, and do not hest
tate to wire or telephone at Its ex'
pense when, In your Judgment, this is
necessary.
while the duties are compulsory,
It should be borne in mind that II these
duties are we'll and conscientiously
performed you are performing patrto-
tic service for your country in the time

The Duty OF Water.

Chas. Stotts, a master commits
missioner from the Federal Court
at Boise has been on the tract the
past week taking evidence from the
settlers and others as regards the
duty OF water. This is a question of
grave Importance that will come be-
fore the court in the case OF Oliver
Hill and others against the Water
Co. and which is likely to be heard
Ia the near future, and to obyiate
the expense of taking SO many wit
nesses to Boise, testimony has been
taken here In the way of deposit
lions. A hearing was held here on
Tuesday and at Wendell on We'd
nesday. Jess Hawley of Boise rep
resented the Continental & Com
mercial Trust and Savings Bank,
who hold the consignments OF con-
tracts on the segregation, and Attor-
ney Walters appeared for the Water
Co. The settlers were represented
by Attorney Barclay OF this place
and Wilcox Of Wendell. We are not
familiar with the exact status of
this question, but from what we can
gather it seems that there is ten
dency Oh the part OF the company to
define the contracts In such way
that the amount OF water called for
in the contracts will be delivered at
the intake at the Miner dam In
stead of at the individual headgates
as has been understood This OF
course would decrease the amount
of water for the tract to a certain
extent. and 1t is for that reason that
objections are made by the settlers
the hearings the past week have
and the hearings the past week have
beenconfined solely to this phase Of
the suit 1t is thought that the cast
will be called for trial within {
short time, and all interested will b'
glad to have the contracts defined
by competent court.

Some OF The farmers along the
highways seem to take no heed to
the warnings from the highway com
missiOners regarding the state law
against tying stock in the roads,
and consequently the names of the
persistent evaders OF the law have
been turned over TO the county at
tOrney and some prosecutions may
be looked for Another law that is
being evaded IL he putting In OF
woodenculveIts across the highways.
fhe law provides for either steel or
concrete culyerts, and those who
have put in wooden ones are likely
to have 30 renew them In accordance
with the law. Another law that
ignored by some is the taking OF
dirt from the highways to build
dykes and other embankments This
is strictly forbidden, and hereafter
the names OF all evaders of the
highway laws will be turned over to
the county attorney, as no attention
seems to be paid to the warnings
from the road cverseer Better post
up on the law little II you do not
care to get into trouble.
