OREGON'S UNSKILLED
LABOR QUTOA is 441O

kllotments Of quotas of unskilled
labor to be furnished by the various
states to war industries during the
Iext two months, under the system
of government recruiting put into
operation under the United States
employment service, have been an
nounced by the department Of labor
By assigning quotas of unskilled la
horers to be furnished in each state,
the employment service took the frs.
step in meeting the shortage of COM
mon labor estimated by reports as
approximating $4,000.
The announcement of the state
quotas followed conference by rep
reseptatves of dozen war indus
tries with officials of the department
Of labor. The estimated labor needs
of each of the industries was sub
mitted by the representatives, and
these will be used in apportioning
the first quotas.
Among the state quotas announced
are the following: Idaho, II, ,O35;
Montena, 5000; Oregon, 441O, and
Washington, 11,340.
The quotas, is was said, are the

AMOUNTS OF ALASKA
LUMBER CUT ISSUED

Thirty sawmills in Alaska cut 49,
$50 NJ feet board measure in 1871
according to figures compiled in the
office of District Forester George H.
Cecil. Portland These figures are
based on reports furnished by Forest
Supervisor w. G. Weigle, of Ketcri-
kan. The chief species cut was Sitka
spruce which made up more than 81
600, 900 feet of the total. Other
lpecies cut were western hemlock,
western red cedar, and a small guam
tity of yellow cypress.
The average prices received at the
mill for the various species were
$21.23 per NJ board feet for Sitka
spruce; $19.61 per NJ feet for western
hemlock; S20.1S per NJ for western
red cedar, and $50 per NJ for yellow
cypress.
Practically all the Alaskan lumber
cut is used locally by the canneries,
in railway work and in building con-
struction A small per cent of the
spruce was shipped out for airplane
construction.

fore, when every man defending 1t
died at his post. There again the
enemy was unsuccessful, though not
until steel had crossed steel In the
big farm yard and the heaps of Ger
man slain had been doubled in the
ruins about it.
This was classic fighting Indeed
man against man, and the better to
win. There was no call for quarter
and none was given. The pride of
the professional soldier was up
against the pride of the free man,
both preferring death TO surrender.
Later in the morning the fighting
extending still further eastward, ana
in every case the Germans who at
tackled were annihilated. Later came
the attack on Seringes and an at
tempt at the same time to drive the
allies from hill 1877, west of Serlnges.
There, for the first time sinci
the allies crossed the 0urcq, the Ger
mans may be said to have definitely
taken the offensive.
All through the days fighting
the enemy's airplanes attempted In
the most daring manner to assist in
tho battle. Early in the morning SIX
enemy planes succeeded in penetrat'
ing as far as the La Croix Blahche
farm, near La Fere forest. They
swooped down close above the roads
in the valley and fired upon allied
troops
Members of the Prussian guarC
who were taken prisoner say thai
their orders were to hold the line al
all costs, and well they obeyed. Al
three of their battalions were ap
barently in the line on this memor
able day, which ended everywhere
In victory for the allies, althoug.
there was no great gain of ground.
During the following night thu
ground near Clerges was captured b!
the Americans. This advance vii
make it possible for the troopsin tht
sector to join hands with the con
ouerors OF Sergy and Seringes.' -

PLENTY FUEL If PRESENT
STORAGE Is MAINTAINED

BY maintaining the present rate OF
fuel storage Oregonians will, for the
most part, escape the rigors of the
impending fuel shortage this winter
insofar as householders are con
cerned.
This is plainly indicated by reports
received by Fred ]. Holmes, fuel ad
minlstrator for Oregon. From all
rarts of the state county administra
tors and dealers report that the peo-
lie are responding to Holmes sus-
gestion for early ordering.
As a result August finds fully 60
ner cent of the households already
supplied with wood and coal or wita
orders in for fuel. The remaininE
40 per cent, however, have only q
short time longer to secure unlimited
fuel. Moreover, each days delay
said Holmes, increases their chances
os being compelled to pay more, and
at the same time shortens their
chances of being able to secure full
supplies.
In this connection, Fuel Admins
traitor Garfield last week held a con-
ference with officials of the war in
crstires board, the shipping board
the railroad administration and rep
resentatives of the army and navy
Il was then determined that war in
drstries and the army and navy are
TO receive their full 100 per cent
fuel requirements. This will necessl'
tate deep cuts in the quotas for th'
households and industries not essen
tial to wars prosecution and will alsc
compel the diversion of western Goa
to eastern centers.
In the east, householders in some
regions are already on fuel rations
hut Holmes does not believe thai
such drastic steps are yet necessar!
in Oregon. He does not intend t
hold Oregonians to anarbitrary limit
until he deems it necessary. When
he does issue ration regulations
however, they will be strictly en-
| forced.

net requirements Of the various war
Industries and do not make allowance
for extra needs or for labor turn
ever. Complete returns of the labor
reeds are expected by August Is,
ard when the estimates made at that
time are tabulated, supplemental
list of quotas will be issued.
State directors of the employment
service were instructed to begin i'm
mediately the apportloning of the
state quotas among the local dis
tricts.
In the Industrial states the quotas
announced average about ) per cent
of the estimated number of men not
in military service or already en-
eaged in war work, agriculture, min
ing or transportation. In western
and southern agricultural states, the
average percentage in somewhat
higher, as allowance has been made
for untitled labor needs.

in the city Of Portland last winter.
A campaign Is now being organized,
which will open the third week in
September throughout the state, 20
secure the remaining $4,000.
Since this IS a war measure ap-
proved by the United States govern
ment, leaders in the army and the
council Of national defense, the de-
tail of the work has been placed in
The hands Of Sc county chairmen OF
the council OF defense. The quota

Men Maybe Required
To Register In Sept.

Portland, August 12.-Sometimc
early in September, every man in
Oregon between the ages OF Is and
20. and 80 and As years, inclusive,
will be required to register under
the new draft law, now before con-
gress.
These age limits are as yet tenta-
tive. as the bill has not been finally
acted upon. Minor changes may be
made in the age limits. But they
will be in general as stated in the
foregoing.
The exact date of the opening reg
lstration day has not yet been set,
and connot be set until congress has
passed the law to lower and extend
the draft ages. But 1t is considered
certain that the law will be passed
very soon and that the registration
day to be proclaimed by the presi-
dent will be early in September.
Every man who comes within the
designated ages should keep himself
very carefully informed for his own
protection, about the status of the
new draft measure, and especially as
to the day fixed for registration. Fall
are to register on the proper day VIII
subject the neglectful person to q
heavy penalty. Ignorance Will not
excuse him.
Oregon is now pretty well versei
in the procedure to be complied with
by men of draft age on registration
day. for already two such draft reg
istration days have been held in the
state.
The first was that Of June ., 1871
when all men from q to 30 years
Of age, inclusive, were required t.
register for military service. The
second registration day was that oI
June of this year, when all me1
VINO had attained their 2lst birthday
since registration day of the preced
ing year were required to register.
The coming registration day vii
DO even more important than these
two, for the number OF men to b'
register is estimated at fully one
third greater than on June ., 1917
II is believed that in Oregon alon'
fully 100000 men will have TO reg
ister.
So far as possible the registration
nlaces on the coming registration da!
/, will be in regular voting places. Lo
cal boards will be in full charge o
the registration.
Local boards already have received
instructions to make all preliminar'
arrangements at once for conductini
the registration, so there will be n
, delay when the presidents proclama
tion is issued. Registrars are to b
, appointed for each precincts on tn
ratio of about one to each p-oOaDl
eighty reglstrants.
, Interpreters also will be provide
where necessary to facilitate regis
> tration.
