care OF OdJd PROCURED.
Under the government regulations it
is necessary for the local board to send
by messenger to the various registra-
tiOn districts all necessary blanks, and
the registrar must be sworn in by the
messenger, who previously has been
sworn by the local board. The mes
senger must, following the registration,
return in person to the office of the
local board all data procured.
Rules in Registration
The following rules on registration
have been issued by the adjutant gen
eral:
Although registration should be ae-
complished within the county wherein
the registrant permanently resides, and
although the burden is on the registrant
to see that his registration is made un-
der the supervision of the board having
jurisdiction of the area within which
he permanently resides, yet, for his
and to obviate the neces-
sity of his going home for the purpose
of registration, the following is pro-
vided for the registration of absentees:
GAS soon as practicable after the pre-
sidnt's proclamation is published, he
should 90 to the office of the local
board to have his registration card fill
ed out and certified, and mail the same
TO the local board having jurisdiction
of the area in which he permanently re-
sides in time for it to reach his own
local board by the day set for registra-
ton. He will be correctly advised by
some member of the board, or the chief
clerk, though, as to the proper proce-
dure when registering through a local
board other than his own.
What to Do If Puzzled.
eff he does not know the designation
and addess of his home local board he !,
should address the card to the mayor, IN
case his home is in a city of 10000
population or over, or to the clerk OF
his county, parish or similar unit IN

population or over, or to the clerk OF

COMMENCEMENT ADDRESS is DE
LIvERED BY PRESIDENT OF
IDAHO UNIVERSITY.
TALKS ON NEW PIONEERS
Not Everything Is Known by Man,
College Head Declares
Only Scratched.

Nineteenth annual commencement of
the Grangeville high school was held in
the high school auditorium Monday
evening when seven young women and
five young, men were graduated.
The graduation exercises were wit
messed by a crowd which filled the audi
torium, and opened with the process
sional. The graduates, speakers, mem
bers of the school board and the high
school faculty seated ON the stage, the
Rev. H. j. Wood gave the invocation,
which was followed by solo by Mrs.
M. R. Hattabaugh.
The address of the evening was deliv-
cred by DR.. E. H. Lindley, president of
the University of Idaho. DIR: .Lindley
was introduced by Henry Telcher, of the
board of education. Mr. Telcher ex-
pressed regret that Superintendent
Staley of the public schools was unable
to be present at the commencement ex-
ercises, because of illness. He is in
Rochester, MINI.
Address by DR.. Iindley.
DR.. Lindley chose as his subject "The
New Pioneers. " He characterize scien-
fists os the pioneers of today, and com
pared them with pioneers of yesterday,
who, driving westward from the east
ern coast of the United States, subdued
the wilderness and made it habitable.
DIR. Lindley said it is the spirit of deter
mination to conquer the seeming UNI
that stimulates the pioneers
of today as it did those of yesterday.
"It is agreed,'' said DR.. Lindley,
{ that civilization has made as much
since the year 1850 as in all
previous time, and this change has been
brought about largely by team work. !"
The university president dwelt at
length on the advantages of Specialize
ton in every line of endeavor, reeiting
the accomplishments since men had
learned to work in unison, rather than
as individuals, each man carving out of
the natural resources only such mater
ials as were required for his own per
sonal existence and the existence of his
family.
Natural Resources Just Tapped.
The natural resources have just be-
gun to work for man, DIR. Lindley re-
marked, in telling of the marvellous dis
soveries of the last century, and of the
first eighteen years of the Twentieth
century. The field of pioneering is
scratched, he said.
DR.. Lindley's address was followed
~ piano solo by Miss Lallah Fulton.
Presentation of the class of 1918 was
by Miss Allie Brooks, high school prin
,ipal. Henry Telcher awarded diplomas
10 the graduates and after the presen-
alton of diplomas the high school octet
ang Goodbye Sweet Day." The
Rev. #. J. Wood pronounced the bene-
fiction.

SCORED BY POLITICAL FOES
Reported Inaction on Part of Yates
Proves but a Myth-List of
Grand Jurors.

A grand jury has been called to re-
port to the district court in Grangeville
ON Thursday, June 8, presumably to in
vestigate the murder of Henry Soards,
who was shot dead in his cabin on the
Salmon river, below the mouth Of
Whitebird creek, at O'Clock on the
morning of Wednesday, April 3. His
cabin was blown up and then set on
fire
The grand jury, which is the first to
be summoned in Idaho county in more
than five years, will report at IL o 'clock
next Thursday morning.
Sheriff Busy on the Case.
Sheriff Yates, in conjunction with
other county officials, has been working
on the Soards case ever since the muir
der OF Soafds, and at the same time the
sheriff has been made the target for
severe criticism by his political enemies,
who declared that he was inactive, and
hesitated to conduct a thorough probe
of the Soards affair, with the view to
apprehending the murderers of Soards
and bringing them to justice. Petitions
to Governor Alexander, requesting ac-
ton, have been circulated, it is said,
and at the same time the sheriff has
been busy on the case. Developments,
however, were slow, and such informa-
ton as was at first procured was merely
hearsay, and those responsible for the
circulation of reports concerning the
case would, when confronted by the of
fieials suddenly become non-committal.
mere mouths closed as tightly as CLAIMS.
BY diligent efforts, however,-it is be-
lieved that the officers have sufficient
data to proceed and it is the general
opinion that a number of witnesses will
be subpoenaed to testify before the
grand jury.
Belief is that the grand jury will be
able to gather evidence which viii war
