Draft Exemption
Board Appointed
SAME PERSONAL REGISTRATION BOARD
Registration Cards to Be Numbered SeraIIy And
Lists Posted At Court House

Thursday morning County Au-
ditor Shepperd, Sheriff r. B. No
land and County Physician c..
j. Kinsolving received notices
from the state adjutant general
Of their appointment as members
of the exemption board for this
county. They met at once and
made out and filed their accept
ance of their appointments and
.oaths Of office. They then pro-
ceded to organize by making
Sheriff holland chairman, Auditor
Shepperd clerk and Dr.. Kinsolv-
ing examining physician.
This board will at once take
over all the duties Of the registra-
ton board. They will first have
to compare the 854 registration
cards issued in this county with
the duplicate cards. The cards
will then have to be numbered,
each card serially, IN red ink with
out any reference to the number
of the certificate. A list of the
names Of those who registered
will be made out with these new
numbers which will be posted at
the court house and each person
who registered will have to call
there and get their new numbers.
Copies of this list must be made
out in duplicate, one for the war
department at Washington and
the other TO be filed with the state
adjutant general at Boise. The
orders from the war department
are that these list should be
completed and sent in by July
18th but this state was five days
late in getting its orders and sup
plies which makes it almost a
physical impossibility to have the
work completed at that time.
Those claiming exemptions will
have TO appear before the board
and submit their claims and,
where exemptions are claimed
for physical reasons be examined
The drawing for the draft will be
done in Washington and will be
by number, the red serial number
on the cards being used. The
names corresponding to the num-
bers on the cards will not Dc
known TO the parties who do the
drawing so it is bound to be

strictly fair and impartial.
In the drawing for the number
apportioned for each state and
county, the state and county will
be given credit for the men who
have enlisted in either the army
or navy. The number that will be
drafted from this county is not
definitely known but it is esti-
mated that it will be approx
mately fifty, or one out Of every
sixteen, but this proportion will
be considerably reduced by aliens
not subject TO draft and by ex-
lemptions.

County Settles
Tax Suit Cases
STIPULATION OISMISSING THEM FILED
Washington Wafer Power Company Pays Taxes On
Overflow Easements For 1915 And 1916

The tax suit between the Wash
ington Water Power Company
and the county has been settled.
A stipulation was filed Thursday
with the clerk of court dismissing
the action. This stipulation was
signed by Gray x McNaughtOn of
Occur d'Alene as attorneys for
the Washington Water Power
Company and C.. IL. Potts of Occur
d'Alene and Prosecuting Attorney
A. A. Holsclaw as attorneys for
the county.
The action grew out of an at
tempt of the county to collect
taxes on the cOmpany's easement
to overflow lands along the ST.
Joe river for the years 1915 and
1916. AT first the company con-
tended that. as the lands had been
assessed, to assess the easement
was double assessment and also
That these easements had been
assessed as part of the operating
property of the company by the
state board. Attorney General
Peterson wrote the county auth
critics here that such was the
case. This was in regard TO the
1915 taxes.
No part of the taxes of the
company for that year was turned
over to This county and the county
proceeded to assess the property
and when the taxes were not paid
the property was returned delin-
quent the same as any other pro-
perty in the county on which the
taxes had not been paid. The
assessed valuation of the ease
ments for the year 1915 was
St43, 900.
IN 1916 the state board ap-
portiOned to Benewah county a
valuation Of $4,000 as its share
of the operating property Of the
company but in order to protect
the assessment of 1915 County
Assessor Reynolds again assessed
the property at St43, 900 the same
as the year before. The company
refused to pay these taxes and
they were returned delinquent as
before and it was TO prevent the
sale of the property for these two
years that this suit had been
Drought by the Washington
Water Power Company.
BY the stipulation filed the
company will pay the 1915
taxes on the valuation Of $4,000
the amount fixed by the state
board as this county's share OF
the cOmpany's operating proper
ty. The taxes on that valuation
amounted to Sf24f.75. which sum
the company pays and in addition
il pays the same amount for the
1916 taxes.
The county officials feel thai
this valuation is very low and vii
eDdeavor to have the state boarc
raise it at its meeting this year
when it assesses the properties
Of utility corporations.

sentiment and his statement that
this was no time for any one to
try to take advantage of the ma
tion's need to further their per-
sOnal ends and any person or
class of persons who attempted
to do it was perilously near COM
mitting treason were received
with strong marks of approval
by his audience and his whole
address received much favorable
comment.
While he was speaking and at
the close of the address those
who heard him seemed to realize
as they had never realized before
the gravity Of the present situa-
ton.
The address was followed by
an exhibition drill by the soldiers.
Their representation of the man
ner of attacking an enemy was
received with much interest and
they were warmly applauded at
the close of the drill.
The sports were interesting
and enjoyable and all of the
events we're pulled off promptly
and with no waiting. The game
of bali between the soldiers and
the home Eam was too one-sided
to be very interesting. The SOL
diers had a pitcher that the home
lboys could not find and won easily
by a score Of nine TO five.
The following are the winners
in the other events:
Log Rolling, Chas. Barden first,
prentis Wolfe second; Girls Foot
Race, Delma Driscol first, Pearl
Hare second Boys Foot Race,
Leonard Carlton first, Lawrence
Babbitt second; Fat Mans Race,
E. Barden first, Fred Herrick Sc
cond. Garland, who was entered
in this race, protested that he
was handicapped because he had
to tow Martin almost the entire
distance.
The Pie Eating Contest was
won by Lonnie Terry. A team
from Company B defeated the city
team in the tug of war.
All in all the celebration was
very success stul and passed off
without a hitch. The only thing
that marred an otherwise perfect
day was that B. A. Johnson fell
off the water wagon.
There we're a large number OF
visitors in the city from st. Joe
and the towns on the branch line

hoods.
There was a large crowd pre-
sent at the dance given in the
evening by the band at the Crane
Theatre. The hall was prettily
decorated with flags and bunting
and the music being excellent Z
very enjoyable time was had b!
