PRESIDENT KEPT BUSY
 BY LINE OF WAR WORK

MT. Wilson likes to have things in writing, and almost all of the bushes of the Wilson administra- tion is conducted in that way. The cabinet has learned to submit vir- tually everything in writing. Mir. Wilson has no stenographer with him at night. He keeps a little typewriter beside him and types a brief comment or reply to each of these long communications.
 Even the presidents private sec retary, when anxious to lay before him matter of importance, draws up a memorandum or brief, giving the pros and cons of the subject. He could just as we'll walk a few steps to the white house from the executive offices or even consult the president when he is in his office put ever since ne was governor o1 New Jersey, MT. Wilson has indi cated that he prefers to have i'm. portant questions placed before him on paper so that they may be ex amined at his leisure, though the very word is misnomer.
 No mind could retain all that j: said to the president in single day so it happens that MT. Wilson's desl is always piled high with papers It is a constant battle against a con stantly ascending pile. Part of thu mountain is made up of officia papers and commissions that merel! require the presidents signature small bills and resolutions that hav' passed congress. Writing one' name a hundred times is monoto nous undertaking, but the presiden must do it literally thousands o times a week.

HIGH WATER S GIVING MUSHERS LOT OF TROUBLE
Burns and Forbes Have Exciting Experience on Way to Town
 From Out the Line.

Team Foreman E. W. Forbes and Robert E. Burns came into town yesterday and report trying and difficult trip. The men left Camp .9 (20-mile) in polling boat, mak- ing the crossing of the turbulent waters above the big dam driven at the head of Lost Slough. To make the crossing large polling boat was used and it was necessary to pull up steam quite ways and trust to the current to drift the boat to the farther shore.
 In the neighborhood of the old dam the falling waters had caused bar to form, leaving rather mar row channel between the bar and the piling of the old dam. The swift waters encountered here car ried the boat down with greater momentum than the voyagers had calculated on with the result that the nose of the boat came heavily into contact with the piling, com pletely swinging the boat around and forcing here into the slack water behind the piling.
 The boat careened over at a dan gerous angle, but the prompt shift ing of ballast, in this case repre- sented by the occupants, quickly righted her and the party escaped ducking by a very narrow margin and were unable to land and pro- ceed safely on the journey.
 In this neighborhood there are nine head of stock marooned at the outset by the flood and four of these were requisitioned for the rest of the journey.
 The party reached the south bank of Clear creek expecting to make Iile CIoSSiilS ol luS poaI sSiil oo"ii from Camp 9 the previous day for the purpose of establishing ferry service here, but of course did not find it, as it was forced to make town through stress of weather and ] .e. ve.s built and a determined attempt was made at "siwashing it', but the legion of mosquitoes rendered such a proceeding absolutely impossible
 After a particularly uncomfort- able and sleepless night, the party managed to flag the train passing by next morning, on which was also the boat that should have been in Clear creek the previous night, and they were ferried across safely '; walking in to the dragline camp and catching the work train into town.
 The time consumed in making the journey of scarcely 20 miles was rather long for these days of rapid transit-the party left camp at 20- mile at 2 p. m. on Sunday and reached town at about II a. m. yes terday.

Over five hundred of the leading hotels and restaurants operating throughout the country, at recent conference in Washington, agreed to eliminate heat and wheat products from their menus for the balance of the present season, in order that their savings and their example might be an incentive to help toward saving the wheat products of this country so that shipments to Europe might not be impeded in any way.

According to. information received
at the Cass county military board this
morning, the adjutant general OF
North Dakota has called the atten-
ton Of all local boards to the import
ance OF making prompt reports of all
inductions into the service to that Of

The adjutant general says that un-
der call No. 1877 his Office has reports
from only 90 counties in the state, and
that under call No. 1873 he has only
Is reports, This. he says, shows how
impossible it is for his office to report
to the provost marshal general and
how embarrassing it is for his office
to receive telegraps requiring lnfor-
nation relative to this matter.
The delinquent counties are Adams,
Benson, Billings, Bottineau, Bowman,
Burke, Cavalier, Dickey, Divide, Dunn,
Emmons. Foster, Grand Forks, Grant,

The records Of the adjutant gen.
erals Office show that during the first
six months Of the draft some excellent
work was done by the boards on "oc-
cupationaI cards." but that there has
been a falling off of this work. Ac-
cording to a list reaching the state
office Tuesday North Dakota is SO
