Defends CONSTITUTIONALITY'
OF SELECTIVE SERVICE.

Following argument by United States
District Attorney Curley In the United
States District Court yesterday after
noon on the demurrer fled by Henry
Budd, Of Philadelphia, attorney for
Donald Stephens, Of Arden. charged
with falling TO register under the mill
tary act, the court allowed two weeks
in which 10 flle written briefs. Mr..
Curley contended in his argument that
Mr.. Dudds objections to the act pro-
viding for the draft army could have
no recognition as involving the con-
stltutionality Of the act Reading the
constitutional provision authorizing
Congress TO raise armies. he alluded TO
the later provision authorizing Con-
gress to make all laws necessary or
proper to carry the first provision into
effect With reference TO argument
that tho term militia" as used in the
constitution meant all the male citizens
OF the country capable Of bearing
arms. he contended that the old Eng
llsh acceptation OF the term was not
in point, and that In this country II
had a distinct meaning, namely the
organized militia OF the several States
and that what was formerly State
militia had ceased TO be such. Hc
argued that the Selective Service Act
did not delegate any legislative or judi
cial authority 10 the President or u
the agencies created by the President
and that no performance OF a citizen
duty to the country. whether voluntary
OF involuntary. could come within the
meaning OF the term 'servitude' as
used in the constitution. Mr.. Curley
did not take a very long time In re-
ply.

under date of March FL:
II have been endeavoring to form

supplies of food both this season
and next, and have come to the con-
clusion that II the American people
will continue to help the world to get

While the Oakland factory is mere

Lewis and ThurstOn Commissioners
Postpone Action Until Later.

County Commissioners OF Lewis
and Thurston counties met at Che.
halls Saturday to take up the matter
of the drainage work along the two
county lines, which has been under
consideration for some time. but
final action was deferred until a
later meeting. In the meantime J.
E. Berry of Centralia, has becn en-
ployed to survey several acres north
of the original tracts. which 1t Is pro-
posed to add to the improvement
There is an old drainage ditch on the
location Of the work, but it is choked
and imperative.
The estimated cost Of the improve
ment is about $1,000 and several
hundred acres of land will be
drained. Both counties are to share
in the expense and benefits, and
make assessments against the prop
erty. The work is to be done under
the supervision of Engineer Neville
of Lewis county.

held on and the harder the going,
the harder he fought for business.
At last he began to gain public rec
ognition, and he began to sell cars
throughout the state as we'll as in
Southern California.
Then came the Phoenix road race
of 1914. Young Durant, now vice
president and sales manager of the
Chevrolet factory, entered a car and
drove it himself, finishing we'll up in
the money. in this, the hardest of
all motor classics.
The wonderful performance of the
sturdy little Chevrolet in the famous
desert grind gave it impetus. and the
sales force took on new life. At the
end of the year when young Durant
took stock, he found that he had
made $4,000.
At that time he had several deal
ers and sub-dealers, and Norman De
Vaux, veteran Of the motor car in
dustry and we'll known on the Pa
cific Coast, became interested in the
Chevrolet line. Joining forces with
Durant, the organization became
known as De Vaux & Durant, Pacific
Coast Chevrolet distributors.

ATING AT OAKLAND.

The development of the Chevrolet
interests on the Pacific Coast affords
one of the most interesting stories
in the history of the automobile in
dustry in America.
A little more than three years ago
the Chevrolet made it's debut on the
Pacific Coast, and there was a small
establishment in Los Angeles from
which the business of the line was
conducted for the entire Coast ter
ritory. Almost like magic the Chew
rolet line has jumped into popular
ity and today there is great factory
at Oakland turning out IL carloads
of automobiles per day; there are 200
dealers and sub-dealers handling the
line in the territory supplied by the
Chevrolet factory at Oakland and

SCENES IN FACTORY WHERE CHEVROLET Is MADE.

Up and down the Coast interest in
the car spread. The demand became
so great that 1t was decided by the
company to erect a factory in Cali
fornia. De Vaux and Durant went
East and had q conference with w.
c. Durant. In a very short time the
factory was q reality.
Durant & De Vaux became the
Chevrolet Motor Company of Cali

to California with but $500 Of his
fathers money. less than three years
before, had something like $250.00O,

more recently advised by RESPONSE
BILE persons who saw the mammoth
feline that it was genuine old time
wildcat. 1t measured four feet and
three inches from tip of nose to end
of tail, and was gray with age. All
its teeth were missing except the four
large ones used in grasping its
prey, A Mr.. Aubrey was out pos

ter his dog had chased it up a tree.

had been missing fowls and small
pigs for several months and their
losses are now accounted for.
