Good Chance for
Machinists In Navy

Machinists have an excellent chance
in the navy now, according to j. E..
Adams, navy recruiting officer station
ed here, as he has received instructions
to enlist as many as possible, The
chance for good pay is fine. The least
pay is $50 month with board, clothes,
and lodging After certain time the
pay jumps to $66.50 and rises as high as
$50 month for petty officer. A
thousand maehinists would be taken if
available. Musicians are also wanted
by the score with minimum pay of
$41 a month. Entertainment ON board
ship is mot overlooked by Uncle Sam
uel, and any musician who feels the call
of the deep blue sea and Columbia at
the same tome had better investigate.

Official Draft Lists
VIII Be Here Soon;
Men VIII Be Called

Portland, Or, July "a Within a
few days official lists of the draft
serial numbers, showing the order in
which they were drawn in the lottery
at Washington, will reach the various
country exemption boards. Following
receipt of these lists, the boards will
notify the men called upon the first
draft.
Until then it win not be necessary
for those subject to call on the first
draft to report. But as soon as they
receive notification from their boards,
they must promptly on the day desig-
mated.
The first step taken by each board
will be to post in a conspicuous place
list containing the names of all the
men registered in its county or district,
in the exact order in which they will
be called on the first and all succeed
ing drafts. A copy of this list will
also be given the press for publication.
Let it be emphasized again that this
list will have not only the names of the
men to be called out on the first draft,
but of every man registered, in the
order in which he must be called No
person whatsoever has any authority
to change this order.
Having posted this list and given a
copy to the press, the board will then
notify by letter every man called up
on the first draft. Each man will be
directed to appear before the board for
physical examination on a specified
date, which will be within seven days
of the mailing of the notice.
Failure to receive this notice will not
be accepted as an excuse for not ap-
pearing on the day set. The burden
of appearing when he is called is on
the man himself; there is heavy pen
atty for failure to answer the call.
Remember, that regardless of wheth-
er man intends to apply for exemp
ton or discharge, he must appear for
examination on the day set.
He has seven days from the posting of
the list and the mailing of the notice
to him by the board in which to file /
for exemption, and 10 more
days in which to file proof.
And remember again, that no claims |
for exemption because of employment |
in <eeessary industries, including agri-
culture, can be considered by your
county exemption board.
Such claim must be made to one
of the three district appeal boards, at
Portland, Eugene, OF La Grande. 1t
can only be -ade then after the man
has passed his physical examination
and been certified by the county board
as called for military service and not /
exempt.

Sunday.

The annual decoration of graves
OF the departed members of Bells
Run Lodge. NJ. w. of A., was held
at that place last Sunday afternoon,
with a large and representative au-
dienca in attendance.
The exercises in the church, be-
fore the decoration proper. consisted
OF songs, and addresses by Mr.. Row
an HOIbrOOk, Supt. O2na Shuts and
County Agent w. w. Browder.
Squire Ben w. Taylor was chair
man of the meeting, and presided in
highly credita5le and efficient
manner.
The talks of Mr.. Holbrook and
County Agent Browder Were along
the lines of the national crisis that
is confronting us, and a plea for the

large congrega lions in the cities
were utilizing their ,pulpits to get
these facts before the people, and
wpross upon them the seriousness
e the present situation.
The address of Prof. Shuts was
along educational lines, and was a
treat to all those who We're so fortu-
nate to be present.
The church was well filled, and We
wish to say, that We have never had
the pleasure of attending a meeting

the searcher's efforts, refuse to dis

apparently desire to come to speedy
terms with the abductors.
1t is said that Mr.. Keet plans an
other lone trip into the hills late to-
night to meet the demands of the
kidnapers. The first letter stipulat-
ed that a failure to observe every
provision would cost the father $1O,-
900. 1t was intimated that the child
would be tortured. Enclosed with
with the letter was a small piece of
the youngsters night gown.
Detectives assert the author of the
letter is a woman. Grammatical eX-
pressions purposely are made incOr-
rect. it is believed, for the handwrit-
ing is remarkably plain. Mrs Kate
Keet. mother of J. Holland Keet, is
said to be one of the wealthiest wo-
men in Southwestern Missouri. Mr..
Keet, a few days ago, resigned as
vice president of the Holland Bank
ing Company in order to manage his
mothers estate, which is roughly
estimated TO be worth 100000.

GIANT TREES ONCE
GREW IN OHIO COUNTY

The fact that giant trees once
grew in Ohio county may be news to
most of our readers as it was to us
when we were told by Squire Ben
w. Taylor that there was a sycamore
stump on the old Hines Tor Hines)
place in his section of the county,
in which one could drive team or
mules hitched to a wagon and turn
them around.
The Squire said he did not believe
this until it was demonstrated to
him before his own eyes, and that
after the feat had been accomplish
ed, he and others took a tape-line
and the stump measured 17h feet
one way and 2S feet the other.

stump somewhere in that locality
