Such are the provisions of Ordin ance No. 260, passed by the city council Tuesday evening. The only men exempted from the provisions of the ordinance are those who, because of their age or actual physical disability, would be unable to do a day'a work. The measure Is a copy of ordin ances that are being passed In all cities and towns in the state, and was agreed upon at the Oregon con ference of Mayors at their recent meeting. The penalty carries a fine of not more than $50 and Jail sentences not to exceed 30 days. The ordinance will be promptly and strictly enforced, the duty of making arrests falling upon the marshal although other city officials have some powers in the mutter alao. It is not the intention of the city olflclalB to put men to work who have reached their declining years, but they are of the impression that quite a number of men can be found who are able to work, who are not doing so. Wealth does not exempt a man from the provisions of tho ordinance. w. s. s. : SEVENTEEN MEN FROM The draft of June 24 will take seventeen men from Crook County as follows: Thomas Barnes, Frank Mertching, Frank lllning, Lincoln Kylo, Louis M.
