the absolute necessity of supplying

BOOZE PEDDLERS
THINK SHERIFF
rs GO-GETTER

Sheriff Arthur Stevens spent sew
eral days in the vicinity OF Bruneau
last week and the guilty of that com
munity must have fed leaving their
goods behind Then new guilt must
have been created by others The
Bruneau Nugget reports that Arthur
captured cache of hooch near the
bridge and brought it home, but an
inquiry at the sheriff's office brought
forth the fact that it was news to
them. The inevitable conclusion is
that the bootlegger having had hi
cache raided told of it and laid the
blame at the wrong door. The arti-
lie in the Nugget is as follows:
Not content with his achievement
of only a few days before, Arthur
Stevens, the sprightly sheriff of Ell
more county, again came down like
wolf on the foHl" last Friday and
gathered another bunch of twenty
six cases of war juice, But it was q
cache, which he nosed out of its lair
on the Elmore border near the Snake
With other captive stocks of the get
rich-quick commodity it now safely
reposeth within the huge war chest
at the sheriff's stronghold at Noun
tain Home. He appeared again on
the battle front Sunday, but declined
to reveal his dire purpose. A suspi-
cious character when in these parts,
is Arturio, and dangerous; and just
because he is so dadblamed tight
Tipped and greedy-hogging all that
good old happy land O Canaan pro
duct-were never a-goin' to hide it
in the same place. Not by jugful

RhUS5 RESENTS
STATEMENT THAT
He STOLE TREES

w, Q. Reuss called at the Republi-
can Office Wednesday and stated that
he was the person meant in an
article in the last issue Of the Re-
publican in which it was stated that
timber was being stolen from Will
Calloways homestead near Bennett.
Mr. Reuss told us that he had bar
gained for the purchase of the tim
Der before it was cut and that he
objected to being branded as thief,
Mr. Reuss is a well known mining
man who has been in this part OF
Idaho for the past Is years and for
some time past has been developing
laims that were originally opened
by Bob McNeely, and the Republican
has no desire to place any undeserved
onus upon him

NEW REGULATIONS
FOR DRAFT HERE

AS the first step in the new classi-
fcation of selected men, Provost Mar
shall General Crowder has directed
local exemption boards to compile
the information contained in their
docket sheets and registration cards
Each board will need for this work
from five to fifteen assistants, work
ing from three days to two weeks
according to the size of the district
The assistants must be volunteer
trained for this class of work, and q
call was sent out today by the coun-
Gil of national defense to its state
councils to secure the needed vOlun-
teers. High school teachers are
suggested as persons best adapted to
meet the emergency.
Available estimates indicate that
the first of the five classes into which
all draft registrants are to be divided
will contain more than 1000, 600
men, subject for duty with the colors
before any man in any other class
will be called up.
1t is regarded as practically Ger
tain that Congress will take up the
question of extending the draft law
to cover men who have attained the
age of 81 since it was enacted.
Should that be done and provision
made for the registration thereaftef
of every man as he has reached that
age, it is probable that perhaps 500
600 would be added to class l auto
matically by next March. In tha-
event, no present plans for the armE
would reach the men in class 2.
New regulations governing pass
ports for registered men becomes
effective November 20. After that
date the nearest local board may is
sue passport permits without refer
ence to district boards, as is now
required. Passports are not neces-
sary to enter Canada.
The local board for Elmore county
received their instructions THURSDAY
and started work on the classification
last evening. 1t is anticipated that
the work will require at least week
