Another Draft Portland, Oregon, April 17. — Still another «fiecisl draft call, the third in a ‘ little more than one month, has been made t»y the W»r Department. Under this thin! call, Oregon is to furnish 261 men for service in tlie National Army, In addition to tlie 369 called out by the order of March II, who liave already reported at Camp Lewis; and Hie 928 who are to report to Caiup Lewis In the flve-day period l>e- ginning April 98. The 261 men Io be laker, in the new special call are ordered Io report to Fort McDowell, Cal., in the five day period beginning May 1. As this is an artillery training post, tlie supposition is that these men are to be put into the ar tillery, though no official announce ment has lieen inaile to that effect. These 261 men constitute 3.4 per cent of Oregon’s first gross «trail quota. All told, since March 11, a total of 1541 men from Oregon have now tieen called into military service through the draft. Tiie state and various counties are to lie crediteli later with these men against tlie net quota for the big draft call that is coming soon. In tliis call, as in the two special calls previously made, men actively, com pletely and assiduously engaged in tlie planting and cultivation of crops will ! not be called until the end of the quota. Aniiouncemeuts have been sent out for a meeting ot the Lenta Improve ment Club tomorrow evening at eight o'clock, at Kenworthy's Chapel. It is urgent that all members lie present to take concerted action upon the Import ant matters coming baton the Club. A rumor Is living circulated that cer - tain big Interests in Portland are mak ing an effort to have the appropriation, which covers the paving of Foeter Road, stricken from the Road Budget. It is highly probable that quick con certed action will save the day. The members of th« Improvement Club have worked hard for thia undertaking and feel that now is not the time to stand by and see it come to naught. During the city election last May at the big mass meeting held under the auspices of the Lents Improvement Club, the candidates expressed them eelves as being In favor of a paid fire department for the Lents District.

Help Prevent fuel Shortage “Order your next winter’s fuel now.” This is the advice of Fred J. Holmes, Fuel Administrator for Oregon who has just received information indicating that the strain on transportation will in crease rather than decrease from now on. "America’s response to the Allies’ urgent call for more troops in Europe means that more freight cars must be diverted for transportation of war sup plies to the seaboard,” said Mr. Holmes today, "as our army grows in France its needs will increase a'so and they must be supplied first Industrial plants and individuals can prevent a shortage this coming fall and winter by getting in their supplies now. By distributing the burden of fuel pro duction over the summer months it will be possible to maintain a constant pro duction sufficient to fill all needs in Oregon. The big danger of a fuel rtioit- age next winter lies in the habit of put ting off ordering until fall, Thia throws a great load upon fuel deale re, ui.d under present conditions Oregon can easily experience a fuel famine next winter due to labor shortage and the lack of cars sufficient to meet the nor mal seasonal demands.
