LARGE SUM OFFERED
FOR IDAHO DESERTERS

Idaho is not free from regis
trants of military age under the
draft law, who have failed to re
port for duty when summoned and
over whose heads hangs a, reward
of $50 apiece for their delivery
to the nearest recruiting station,
posted by the provost marshal.
This is evident from a list of
POI names released for publica-
ton by the adjutant generals
department Of this state. The
men on this list are classified as
deserters.
1t is very probable that when
the list has been circulated it
will result in a number of the
slackers being rounded up and
turned over to the army. 1t is
also probable that some Of the
men whose names appear on the
may not have received their sum
ons. The government, however,
places the burden and response
bility on each registrant to as
certain his standing in the sell
ective draft and failure not TO
receive a notice is not a plausible
excuse.
In posting the reward offered
for delivery over to military
authorities of men, who have
failed to respond TO the call, the
provost marshal said:
1T is highly desirable from
every standpoint that an effort
now be made to round up all per-
sons who are delinquent in re-
porting for military service. It is
thought that if the fact of re-
ward is given the widest publ
city we shall have a great force

ORGANIZE BATTALIONS
FOR ROAD CONSTRUCTION

Men who have had experience
i'm any branch of road cOnstruc-
tion are offered an opportunity to
see early service in France in
special bodybuilding battalions
of the United States Army by re-
cruiting plans announced. These
battalions will be required to re-
pair and maintain the highways
near the fighting front, over
which tremendous traffic is oper-
ated continuously. They will also
build new strategic highways in
the war zone. Consequently,
these troops, all volunteers, will
be in the thick of the greatest
activities.
The new battalions are cOnsti-
tuted as regular military units
and as a part of the regular army
organization. They are fully
armed and will be required in
emergencies to fight along with
other troops. Generally, how
ever, they will be occupied with
road work.
There will be more highly-paid
and high-ranking nOn-commis-
stoned officers in this regiment,
it is believed, than in any other.
There will, therefore, be more
openings for men of education
and practical experience than is
usually the case.
Much of the plan used on. road
work in America is new to Euro
pean engineers, while the meth
DDS also are quite different from
those used abroad. A great OPP
lportunity is thus offered to DEM
onstrate what skilled Americans
can do with modern equip
ment, and the regiment which is
now being recruited must in
clude men to operate the neces-
sary construction plant, to man
the shops and, as non-commis-
stoned officers, to handle the
forces.
For the nOn-cOmmissiOned Of
fCer positions men are required
who can qualify in private life il
the following lines: Superinten-
dents and assistant superinten.
dents of highway, bridge AM
quarry work, of mechanical plan
and of transportation; chic
clerks, material men, stock men
timekeepers; foremen for con
crete, road bridge and QUAR-
work; powder men, riggers, car
penters, iron workers, surveyor
and craftsmen.
For the enlisted personnel it l
desired to secure men skilled an
experienced in one or more Of tn
following occupations: Survey
ors. craftsmen, clerks, steno
lgraphers, avmen, blacksmith

BENSON ANGRY SAYS
COMMISSIONERS ARE
PLAYING POLITICS


PORTLAND, July 11.-Chairman
Benson Of the state highway commits
sion today told the other two mem
bers Of the commission that they
were playing politics instead Of doing
business.
'If you are to continue to do so"
he said, I'VE had better resign and get
a new commission
The discord arose over the location
OF The Columbia river highway in
Columbia county. a subject which has
been a bone of contention since the
highway was surveyed three years
ago and which figured in the recall
of a county court.
When the commission met today
the matter was brought to an issue bv
County Commissioner Harvey. who
asked the commission to decide on
the route for the reason that it was
important that his court should know
as soon as possible that rights Of way
could be secured.
Benson Wants Action.
Chairman Benson wanted to take
action. He said the county court Of
Colum bia county was entitled to a de-
cision and that it was business to

fer. He finally conceded that he
might decide before the session of the
commission was ended.

he agree with Thompson.
