Under the conscription law it is
made the duty of peace officers to re
quire suspected Individuals to produce
their registration certificates to prove
that they have registered. Apparently
the officers are living up io -heir fJll
duty in this respect, foi frantic In
ouirles have reached the office of Ad
Jutant-General White for Instructions
where men claim to have lost their
certificates.
Original Cards to Settle Cases.
In response General WhlLe jent to all
registration boards the fillowing ex
tract from a telegram received by
Governor Withycombe fnr.i the Pro
Tost Marshal-General at Washington:
"Cases in which registered persons
have lost their registration certificates
have come to the attention of this of
fice. In such cases the registration
board which has the card of such per
son should, upon application, verify
the fact of registration and, upon
proper evidence of good faith, give a
written statement, signed by the clerk,
setting forth the' fact of registration,
the name of the person registered, the
date and number of the registration
card, and a statement to the effect that
evidence has been submitted proving
the loss of the registration certificate.
This course seems preferable to issu
ance of duplicate certificate. Please
trive widest publicity."
Check Reduces Totals 185.
General White further emphasized to
registration boards that the registra
tion of the applicant must be estab
lished beyond question.
"The presence of his registration
card In the files of the proper registra
tion board is the best evidence," he has
advised.
"The loss or destruction of the regis
tration certificate and the good faith
of the applicant must be established to
the satisfaction of the board.
"The registration board must then
make and deliver to the applicant the
written statement authorized by the
telegram of the Provost Marshal-General,
which must be signed by the clerk
of the board."
A complete rechecking of all regis
tration reports from the various coun
ties at the office of the Adjutant-General
yesterday reduced the total regis
tration for the state by 185.
. 62,800 Registered In State.
The balance struck after these cor-
rections had been made gives Oregon
an official registration total of 62,800.
Portland's total of 19,120 has not been
changed.
On the official estimate that one
tenth of the population as shown by
the 1910 census would be registered,
Oregon's quota was 68,428. instead of
62,800. However, General White called
attention yesterday to the fact that
approximately 6000 men have enlisted
from Oregon since the declaration of
war or shortly before in the regu
lar Army, Navy, Marine Corps, National
Guard and reserves thereof.
These men, being already In the mil
itary service of the United States, were
mot required to register, but had they
done so the state's total would have
been almost 68,428.
Estimate Fat Too HIkb.
The. War Department's arbitrary es
timate for Oregon of 86.233 was based
on an estimate of 14 per cent of the
population, and is generally considered
to be far too high. Just how exag
gerated its figures were may be rea
lized from the fact that it gave Oregon
an estimated population of 862,339.
which is believed to be far over the
real figure, and then figured that 14
Jer cent of that number should register.
Portland's estimated population was
placed at 308.399 and then 14 per cent
of that number, or 47,782, was given as
the city's quota. Every Portlander
knows the city does not have a popu
- lation of 308,399. Such a figure has
never been claimed by the most en
thusiastic estimator.
Several Oregon counties ran over the
10 per cent quota, as based on the 1910
census, and a few even went over the
3 4 per cent estimate of the War De
partment. Crook Exceeds Quota.
For example, on a 10 per cent basis.
Crook County should have registered
410. Its registration was 425.
On a 10 per cent basis Deschutes
County should have registered only
853. It registered 796, which was also
far In excess of the 14 per cent War
Department quota.
The same was true of a number of
counties. On the other hand, a few
counties went under both the War De
partment and 10 per cent census esti
mate. Josephine, for example, should

POLK PREPARES FOR FAIRS

DALLAS, Or., June 8. (Special.)
f oik county has begun preparation for
its agricultural exhibit at the different
fairs and at the Land Products Show
this FalL
Owing to the backward season many
wild grasses are coming at once, and
Secretary Winnie Braden was able to
secure samples of six different varieties
today.
This promises to be a banner year
for agricultural fairs, as the impetus
given agriculture, through the need of
greater food production, has caused
many people to give special attention
to the products they expect to exhibit.

LA GRANDE, Or., June 8. (Special.)

Mrs. M. A. Danenhower and C. A.
Phipps, prominent speakers at the pro
gramme, arrived today and will remain

night.
100 JEFFERSON BOYS DRILL
Corps Is Growing Prbficient Under
Captain Lederer's Leadership.
About 100 boys of the Jefferson High
Schol gathered yesterday on the school
campus for the regular drill of the
corps under the leadership of Captain
Lederer. The boys are becoming quite
proficient in the various formations
and work of army drill.
When originally started the corps
comprised about 160 boys, but this num
ber has been considerably cut down by
enlistments. The members of the corns
will receive certificates from their com
mander for the work done.

"Bunker Hill" day, Sunday, June 17.
the anniversary of the first great bat

this plan of firing the first big bat
teries of eloquence In behalf of the
Red Cross will have a two-fold patri
otic meaning.
As outlined by John C. English, ex
ecutive committeeman' in charge of the
speakers' bureau, every church of every
denomination in the city will be asked
to devote a considerable part of the
services on that day to explaining the
aims, objects and needs of the Red
Cross, together with the reasons whv
such an enormous fund must be raised
at this time.
Following "Bunker Hill" day there
will be scores of orators In the field
every day, urging the people to sup

Every Citizen Called Upon.
"We are going to need the belD of
hundreds and hundreds of public-spir
ited men and women to assure us of
complete success," explained Mr. Cor
bett. It is the duty of every citizen
of not only Portland but of the whole
country to join hands to make Red
Cross week the greatest week of pa
triotic endeavor In the history of the
country. While a large majority of
people are already alive to the fact
that this campaign Is an undertaking
of the greatest magnitude, yet there
are vast numbers of red-blooded and
energetic patriots capable of yeoman
service, whom we shall need to help
us, and we will be glad indeed to have
all those who feel willing to embrace
this opportunity to dedicate them
selves to their country's cause to come
forward and offer their services.
This is emphatically not a campaign
which can be put over by a small
group of workers, no matter how val
iantly they toll. It Is everybody's cam
paign; everybody must do his or her
share.
In order that the executive commit
tee of the local campaign may be sup
plied with a sufficient auxiliary force
of canvassers, speakers and other
workers, the members of that committee
have undertaken to organize a. corns
of "Red Cross Reserves" from the prin
cipal civic and commercial bodies.
These workers will correspond to the
reserve forces which the great armies
in the battle fields have waiting be

About the High Cost of Living?
Your Prices Don't Show It!
Our prices are low because we are selling our
stocks and goods contracted for on the basis of
what they cost us, NOT ON WHAT IT COSTS TO
REPLACE THEM.
We believe we will profit more by holding your
good will than by trying to make extra' profits in
these days of combinations and food speculations.
We are being severely criticised for this, but your
good will is all we care for, and the thousands who
come here week after week show that we have won
and are holding your approval.
