HOW THE DRAFT
WILL NOW OPERATE
Men Drawn May Enlist Up Untili
Time of Being Notified by Local
Board.-Second Draft Will
Be Made.

Portland, Or, July 25.-Within
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 va
rious county exemption boards. Fol-
lowing receipt of these lists, the
boards will notify the men called up
on the first draft.
Until then it will 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 report promptly on the day
| designated.
| 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 dis
trict, in the exact order in which they
will be called on the first and all sue
ceeding drafts. A copy of this list
will also be given the press for pub
lication.
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 regis
tered, 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
on the first draft. Each man will be
directed to appear before the board
for physical examination on speci-
fled 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
appearing on the day set The bur-
den of appearing when he is called
is on the man himself; there Is a
heavy penalty for failure to answer
the call.
4 Remember, that regardless Of
whether man intends to apply for
exemption or discharge, he must ap-
pear for physical 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 an application for ex-
emption, and 10 more days in which
to file proof. =.
And remember again, that no
claims for exemption because of en-
ployment in necessary industries, in
cluding agriculture, can be considered
| by your county exemption board.
Such a claim must be made to one
of the three district appeal boards, at
Portland, Eugene or LaGrande. 1t
can only be made then after the man
has passed his physical examination
and been certified by the county
board as called for military service
and not exempt.
After you have appeared before
your county exemption board and
passed the physical examination, it
will still be some time before you
will actually be called out to join the
army. You will be notified when it
is time for you to report for service.

MONEY WILL BE USED
FOR GREATEST GOOD

Henry P. Dawson, chairman of the
Red Cross War Council, authorizes
the following statement:
Morning papers have published
report that the American Red Cross
is to use in Italy $i0,000,000 out of
the 500, 100000 and more recently
subscribed. The report is without
foundation, and it is important that
the policy of the Red Cross in hand
ling these funds be clearly under
stood.
The Red Cross has appropriated
I 81, 100000 to provide immediate nec-
essities in France, to be spent under
the direction of the American Red
Cross Commission in France headed
by Major Grayson Mp. Murphy, a
member of the War Council. The
Red Cross has also appropriated
100000 to purchase medical sup
plies and instruments, whereby the
Red Cross Commission to Russia may
take care of more urgent needs upon
arrival in that country.
The sum of $1,000 has been ap-
propriated to purchase materials to
supply most urgent needs In Rouma-
MIA. The sum Of 100000 has been
appropriated for use in Armenia, an
$500 has been appropriated to pur-
chase drugs to be sent to the Russian
Red Cross.
Aside from the foregoing, no az
preparations have been made by the
War Council for work in foreign
countries. The need in all our Allied
countries is beyond computation, AMI
use can be found for all fun /, which
can possibly be obtained either now
or in the future. That very fact i'm
poses upon the Red Cross an extra
ordinary obligation, which it fully
recognizes, to use the funds commit
ted to it only after assuring itself moi
only that any proposed expenditure
will do good but that it will accom-
plish the greatest good relative tt
other needs which are crying to b.
supplied.
The Red Cross has now at work il
France Commission of experts. ant
1t has more recently sent to Russis
a similar Commission. The expenses
Of these Commissions are borne pri
vately and are not charge on Ret
Cross funds. 1t Is the purpose of tn,
Red Cross to send similar commits
sions to Italy and Roumania, ant
also to appoint Commissioner t,
Great Britain No appropriation
for use In any country will be mad,
until after investigation, and all ex
cept emergency appropriations will b,
made by the War Council for specifi
purposes and in specified amounts.
1t is also the policy of the Wa
Council to withhold any very larg,
expenditures abroad until it is mad
certain that every necessary provis
ion has been made to take care of ou
own soldiers and sailors.
Appropriations as authorized viii
as far as possible be made public i'm
mediately, and frequent statement
: will summarize the expenditures O
} the past, and set forth the condition
, of Red Cross finances.

COMMITTEE GETS
SMALL RESPONSE
Heppner People Are Indifferent to
Paving Situation and City Coun-
Gil 1t at Loss to Know Wheth-
er Special Election Would
Be justified.

Another street paving meeting was
held at the Council Chambers We'd
nesday evening. Although the meet
ing was called TO get scme expression
from the property owners and tax
payers, very little was said by those
present. The report of the COM
mittee which had been investigating
the various forms of paving. was read
and accepted.
The committee. in its report, IA
vored the Bitulithic style Of paving
and this fact brought about lively
argument between w. w. Smead OF
the committee and John W. Johnson,
contractor. Mr.. Johnson accused the
committee of handing the contract
to the Warren Construction Company
on a silver platter without taking in
to consideration any other bids. This
was refuted on behalf of the COM
mittee as we'll as the city council by
MIR. Smead. The report of the COM
mittee was the result of the most
thorough and careful study.
Another meeting on the paving
question will be held next week.
We publish in this issue the com
mittee's report.

The gazette-times. [volume] (Heppner, Or.) 1912-1925, 1917-07-26


We publish in this issue the COM
mittee's report.
The committee appointed by the
chairman of the Mass Meeting of the
citizens of Heppner, for the purpose
of investigating the matter Of paving
certain streets in the City of Hepp-
ner, beg to submit the following re-
port:
In order to acquire the necessary
information we have consulted the
Office of the State Engineer, the High
way Commission, and the paving
companies operating in Pendleton,
Oregon, and Walla Walla, Washing
ton. A committee has visited Pen
dleton and Walla Walla for the pur-
pose of investigating the pavements
In said cities.
Since making our former report
the committee has gained consider
able information, which has changed
the minds of the committee In some
particulars, and consequently this re-
port will be considered as taking the
place of the former.
The committee have taken into
consideration three propositions for
the paving of the streets, as follows,
to-wit:
l. Main Street from the Rock
Bluff South of Palace Hotel North to
Baltimore Street or Church Street
thence west on either Baltimore OF
Church Street to Gale Street, thence
South on Gale street across concrete
bridge and ON to Depot. Also from
the Court House to the Palace Hotel

North to be paved with 24-foot strip
on each side with 20-foot parking
in the center of the street. The other
streets to be paved with 20-foot
strip in the center. Main Street to
have curbing. The above proposition
takes into consideration the matter OF
sewers and leaves 4-foot space be.
tween the curb and the sidewalk.
The estimated cost of the above Is
$35,771.4O. With curbing on all
streets paved $38,829.00.
2. Baltimore street South to the
Rock Bluff on Main st. with "a foot
strip on each side and 20 foot park
way in center. Estimated cost $22,-
402.S0.
3. This third proposition is the
one recommended by this committee
1t embodies the paving, grading and
curbing of the following streets
Main Street from the North Line OF
Baltimore Street South to the foot

Street. Pavement to be "a feet on
each side of the street with central
parking Of 20 feet, curbs to be 16
feet from the property lines and curbs
binding the central parking. Inter
sections to be paved full and COM
plete with the curb returns on the
side streets to be 80 feet from face
to face. To be four feet between the
side walk and the curb to permit
laying of sewers.
