OREGON QUOTA FOR

Commander Blackburn Enlists
810, Instead of 800 Re

500 MORE MEN PROMISED
RECRUIT WHO COMPLETES OREGON'S QUOTA IS NAVY'S CAMPAIGN.
Campaign to Be Extended to May 5,
When Recruiting Officer Ex
pects to Have Another Big
Force to Man Ships.
When Charles E. Blakely. of Prlne
ville. Or, took the oath of enlistment
at 2:30 o'clock yesterday and was for
mally sworn Into the united states i
service as a hospital apprentice, sec
ond class, by Lieutenant-Commander
John. H. Blackburn, U. 3. N.. he made
the 800th man to be enlisted in Port
land for the Navy since April 1.
Thereby Lieutenant - Commander
Blackburn fulfilled orders received
from the Navy Department last month
to enlist 800 men. in the 20 days end
ing April 20.
For good measure. Commander Black
burn made it 810. That was the grand
total at 6 o'clock last night, when the
rush of recruits for the day was over.
Forty men were enlisted for the day.
Portland Alone Meets Demand.
Portland is the only Navy recruiting
station in the whole United States that
has filled the quota of men asked by
the Navy Department in the time limit
set. But the Navy needs more men and
still more men, so recruiting here will
not abate one whit. Rather, it will pro
ceed with increased energy.
No young man who hasn't already
enlisted need fear that he has applied
too late. The Navy recruiting station
will continue to be open here for many
months to come, and the demand for
men will be continually greater.
When reports from various recruit
ing stations through the country made
It plain, a few days ago, that the
quota could not be obtained by April
20, the Navy Department sent Lieutenant-Commander
Blackburn a telegram
announcing an extension of 15 days in
the time limit. In which he was to get
800 men. The telegram gave him to
Hay 5 instead of to April 20 to enlist
them.
Five Hundred More Promised.
Lieutenant - Commander Blackburn
telegraphed back to this effect:
"Oregon needs no extension. Oregon
can and will make the allotted quota
within the time limit. But if you ex
tend the period until May 6 I can
promise you 500 more men."
So now, having enlisted 800 men
within the first time limit of only 20
days, the enterprising recruiting offi
- cer has taken upon himself the task
of enlisting 600 more by May 5.
Thp ramoalsrn for the 500 additional
men for the Navy begins today. It is
going to take work and lots and lots
of it to make good in this new recruit
ing drive, but Commander Blackburn
is confident that the patriotic ' young
men of Oregon and Southwestern
Washington and Idaho, comprised
within his recruiting district, will
- respond to this second call just as they
did to the first one.
Army's Total la 843.
The Navy is In great need of
recruits now, for some of its ships can- I
not be used because there are not j
enough trained men in the service to
man them. . Congress is expected any
- day. to pass a bill that will virtually
double the enlisted strength of the
Navy and this will require a further
drive for men.
At the regular Army recruiting
headquarters in the Worcester building
yesterday 44 men were enlisted, which
was considered a mighty good showing
for Friday, when enlistments are usual
ly lightest, ulany men do not like to
enlist on a Friday, or on the 13th of
the month.
The quota of the Portland Army
recruiting office in ordinary times is
only 808 men for an entire year. The
Portland station has enlisted more men
. than that in only 20 days this month.
The total yesterday night was 843
recruits since April 1.

CHEHAL1S, Wash., April 20. (Spe
cial.) Contracts aggregating $45,417
for building about three miles and
three-quarters of cement roads in this
county were let by the County Com-
Zissioners today.
One and three-quarters miles of 16
foot road will extend east from the
present terminus near Forest on the
Pacific Highway and will cost $23,517.
One mile of 8-foot road in the Klaber
district will be an extension of two
miles already built there, and will cost
$8500.
One mile of road north of Centralia
went to Hendricks & Ward, of Cen
tralia, for $13,400. Cement and sand
will be furnished by the county at cost.
The announcement from Washington
that for the present no more commis
sions will be granted In the Officers'
Reserve Corps until after the training
camps is not to be taken as meaning
that the Government does not need any
more applicants for commissions.
This was emphasized yesterday by,
Captain Sherman Miles. United States
Army, who is detailed In Portland as
president of the exartlnlng board for
reserve officers in this district.
Quite to the contrary, many more ap
plicants are desired. The War Depart
ment order simply means that for the
present, instead of being commissioned,
these applicants who pass the necessary
examinations will be recommended for
the Reserve Officers' training camp, to
be held for three months at the Pre
sidio, San Francisco, Cal., beginning
May 8.
Pledge Is Required.
Those admitted to the training camp
will be required to pledge' that if their
work is satisfactory they will accept
whatever commission may be offered
by the Secretary of War. They do not
pledge that they will enlist as privates
if they are not accepted after the final
examinations.
Those applicants who are now taking
examinations, and other applicants who
have not yet been commissioned, will
be notified by the War Department If
their qualifications are satisfactory.
They will be expected to present them
selves at the Presidio for the training
camp between May 1 and May 8.
"Twenty-five hundred qualified young
men are wanted by the War Depart
ment to take the training at the Pre
sidio camp," said Captain Miles. "The
only pledge required of them Is that
they will accept any commission offered
them by the Secretary of War after
they have completed their training.
Time for Applications Limited.
"I wish especially to emphasize that
the period for applications for reserve
this afternoon on members of the board
of directors of the association.
The litigation follows a recent de
mand made on the association for a
surplus distribution by about 15 grow
ers who canceled their contracts and
severed their membership with the sales
agency prior to March 20 of this year.
While tha association denied the de
mands on the grolund that rights to
a portion of the surplus had been for
feited when membership ceased, the
orchardists who had severed their con
nections with the shipping agency con
tend that they are equitably entitled to
an accounting in proportion to the as
sessments made on tonnage furnished
by them to the association.
According to the complaint of the
plaintiff company, of which H. F. Da
vidson, who. for the past two years has
been New York and export representa
tive of the association, is president, a
portion of the surplus fund is to be
used in the purchase of the- old Hood
River Apple Growers Union proper
ties.
The court is asked to restrain the
association directors from a purchase
contract, which it Is alleged would
Impair the rights o the plaintiff In
sharing in the surplus fund. The com
plaint alleges tbat the surplus propor
tion of the plaintiff company will reach
a sum of approximately $1000..

They helped him secure clean clothing,

Captain Miles said that to save time
It will be much better if applicants in
this district living outside of Portland,
instead of writing to him for. informa

should bring with them at least three
letters of recommendation as to their

that the Portland public schools are

Two more resignations from men

alarm.
In caring for the teachers who enlist

It Mas not occurred to the Chamber

that the food problem would be solved
readily by throwing open the great

commercializing the children. Those
who leave high school now will never

the burden of the war upon our chll-
