Grand Forks, June 5.-Registration
stations in Grand Forks closed at 9
O'Clock tonight with 1,159 men of mill
tary age enlisted for military service
if the government should so demand.
Records of the registrars indicate that

reason for exemption. In some wards
more than half of those registering
claimed exemption from draft.

RaiIroaders at jamestown Patriotic
= Jamestown, June 5.-Young men of
Jamestown turned out en- masse to
register for the army draft here to-
day. There were no demonstrations
of any kind against registration and
thus far no complaints have been filed
against any one for not registering.
The total registration for the city
was 70S, 2O9 in the First ward, Psi in
the Second ward, Ill in the Third and
1877 in the Fourth. The First ward
although second in the number
registering was last in number of
American citizens as SO of those in the
Second ward are aliens employed by
the Northern Pacific railroad. Only
two negroes registered of this number
and about 40 per cent claimed exemp-
tons.

Valley City and Barnes county with
out hesitation fully endorsed the gov
ernment's plan of selective conscrlp-
ltion by having every male between
the age of p and 80, inclusive, regis
ter.
The registration was carried out
without hitch, and as far as can De
learned there was no incident to mar
the occasion, nor a refusal OF any
eligibles to register.
A good deal of credit is due those
who served on the registration boards,
without pay thereby making neat
saving that can be utilized IN otner
helpful ways. They saw only their
patriotic duty and a chance to serve
their government.
In Valley City the loyalty feature
was the parade in the afternoon head
ed bv the Municipal band, followed by
Companies G and H, Boy Scouts,
Grand Army men and citizens. After
assembling at the city hall where the
band played a couple of selections, the
parade moved to the registration
place in the First ward; from there to
the Third ward, and finished at the
court house. During this time light
rain was falling, but it did not dampen
the ardor Of the marchers. Arriving at
the court house the court chambers
were used for a meeting place. The
band rendered a patriotic air and was
followed by an address by Capt. D. S.
Richie. He spoke on preparedness
and the present situation from the
standpoint of a military man. Banker

closed the meeting.
There were 4O5 registered in the
city; 81 in the First ward, 70 in the
Second, lis in the Third, and l27 in
the Fourth. The auditors office has

Coast Artillery To
Be Drafted July Is

Portland Oregonian: The entire
National Guard of Oregon, including
all units not as yet called into the
federal service, as we'll as the 3rd
Oregon infantry, which has been mus
tered into service for a couple of
months and is now stationed at Van
couver barracks, will be drafted into
the United States army in July.
Official orders to this effect were
received yesterday from the War De-
partment by George A. White, adju-
tant-general of the Oregon National
Guard.
The first Oregon organization to
be drafted into the United States
army will be the Oregon Coast Artil-
lery. The orders received by General
White direct that 1t shall be drafted
into the army on July Is.
The other National Guard units,
including the 9rd Oregon infantry,
battery A., Oregon Field Artillery,
and troops A, B and C, Oregon Cav
airy, and probably troop D, which
will be organized by that time, will
be drafted into the regular army on
July 25.
The orders direct that the work of
recruiting all these organizations to
full war strength be expedited, which
General White has already done.
They are all so nearly up to war
strength that 1t will be a matter of a
comparatively short time to complete
the work.
Muster Does Not Affect Draft.
Some confusion of terms may re-
suit from the fact that the Srd Ore
gon has been in the federal service
