Second Day of Our June White Sale
S Oregon is ready to take the war
census June 6. All counties but six
have officially reported to Adjutant
General White that all blanks neces
sary for the registration have been
received and distributed. Unofficial
Information from the six registration
boards is to the effect that they, too,
have practically, completed the dis
tribution of the blanks and are, in
fact. ready, with the official reports
being prepared. I M
The smoothness with which the ma
rhlnorv for reclst ration has eone into
miction in all parts of the state has
btert particularly gratifying to Gen
eral White and the other persons
charged with the registration duties.
The officials, however, are not rest
ing content with the prospect of quick,
feffectlve registration, but are biui go
ing over all details to insure perfec
tion in the final result.
To obtain a more complete and
quickly comprehensive grasp of the
state-wide situation, a B-by-12-foot
mapaof the state has been prepared at
headquarters, showing in minute de
tail every phase f the registration
territory. This will be watched as a
fielrt general scans the map of hial-4
battlefield, and the work of the regis-
tratlon will be traced In detail.
Reports from every section indicate
that the sheriffs and county registra
tlon boards seemingly have utilized
very minute to perfect the machinery
of registration, and there appears "to
have been no detail overlooked.
The problem of registering men sta
tioned in isolated places, such as the
ranges, mines and forests, was solved
Saturday in a regulation issued by
General White. Telegraphic Instruc
tions were sent to every sheriff at
registration points providing that
county clerks shall appoint special
deputies to go to mining, sheep, cattlj
and timber camps for the purpose of
registering men in such places, sucn
men to be registered as absentees.
Under such provision, this work may
begin Immediately.
In all extraordinary cases, however.
It is assumed that1 county clerks will
meet such conditions as may exist In
their communities.
The past few days have been
marked by the receipt and distribu
tion of great quantities of supplies,
and regulations outlining every part
i of the registration work have been
placed In the hands of the registrars.
The adjutant general's office is in
. daily telegraphic touch with the dif
ferent registration boards, giving both
Instructions and Interpretations in
the census taking.
While no returns can be had at this
time, reports show many thousands
already registered, in the state aa
absentees.
Any police officer of any city or
- "county In Oregon will be entirely
within his rights, after the taking of
the war census, in requiring any man
between the ages of 21 and 30 years,
Inclusive, to show his little green cer
tificate of registration.
This certificate can only be ob
tained by registering. It Is an official
receplt of registration.
Not only will the police offlcer.be
within his rights, but he will be doing
only his sworn duty In demanding to
be shown the card if he suspects that
registration has been evaded.
Furthermore, if the police officer
finds a man of the designated age who
has not registered, it is his duty
forthwith to report him to the regis
' tratlon board. The officer himself
will be subject to imprisonment if he
fails to do this.
By direction of Governor Withy
oombe, the Adjutant general has called
attention of all Oregon mayors to the
fact that police officers- must give
every assistance in the execution of
tjie conscription law. He has espe
cially emphasized the following ex
tract from the regulations:
: "Police officers of any grade or
class, of town, township, county or
state, and all officers or agents of
the federal government are required
to render every assistance in the. exe
cution of this law. It is especially
made the duty of such police officers
to see that all male persons within
the designated ages have reglsterd
. and to report those who have not reg
istered to the proper registration
.board for such action as may be
' necessary. Police officers may re
quire any person subject to registra
tion to exhibit his registration certi
flcate.
