It may be that the public service epm miosiori will be given a part to-do in Oregon under the general board in Washington, but It will, be seen later as to that. ' , "I am down here, for a few days in order to try a case1 in the supreme court, that of Service and' Wright sgainst the Sumpter1 Valley railroad. Of course you know that I ame the general attorney for the railroad, as I have been for rome yens. L W. 'ihompson, who, as you know was president of the state senate during the sessions of 1 9 15, i asociated with me in the case. I JLJhope to have the ca3e tried to morrow, so I can get hone." It may berecalled here that the Sumpter ValleyXrailroad T,as origin ally built from' Baker to Sumpter. where it not mly tapped the rich mines of the Blue Mountains, but Dave Eccles. who. built the road, was after the great white pitfe, tamarack and spruce forests of those mountain t-lopea, and he succeeded in getting the cream of them, i : i . Those Were The (load Old Days. Sumpter, in early ( days, was the best known mining town in the state, and could only be reached by stage. Those were the days of old, hold ups,, mail robberies," gambling and dance halls. The town burned down only a short time ago. but is .being rebuilt rapidly as possible, for the mines, many of them abandonee! for years, are now being made to pay large returns on war orders. ' Cbpper is today more valuable than the gold in the same hills, and the lumber of that section, mostly white and sugar p!he, is the bt tn Oregon, and there are million of feet yet uncut.. ; At one time the O.-W. R. & N. Co., took over the Sumpter fValley road after it had been extended over Dixie Mountain to - Prairie City, Grant county, but when; the Union Taclficj system was dismembered, it, like the O.-W. R. N. Coi and all the other j so-called Harrimai lines, was turned , back to its original stockholders. -p - May Write History. ; r Mr. Rand brought up many Inter esting . events of days gone by. and promised that when, he had the time, and came to Salem again, he would write, a history of some of the events that transpired when he was district attorney for Baker, and If will in clude the history of the trial of many murder cases, stage . hold-ups and counterfeiting cases. , . ; ' ; HI8 KRROR. .

Ror SINGLE MEN WILL T FIGHT FOR AMERICA I (Continued, from page 1) - ; who failed to appear when, called by their- local boards vfor examination, but General Crowdr hastens to ex plain that" -most of these , men al ready are In Europe In the Amer! esn, British and French armies. Tney aid not await the draft pro cesses in taelr eagerness to get Into action.!- - j i Few Fall In Dnty. "The final data win undoubtedly show.";. General Crowder adds." that the! number of j thosewho wlirnlly failed ! to appear ' for examination when called Is Insignificant. Of the total; reglBtrat'on of 9, 581,508 the number called and ex amined was 3.082,519 and of lhee 1.057.363 were certified by the boards for 'military service. Since the first call-was for enly 687,000. there now remains 370,363 men awaiting summons to the mobiliza tion camp. , Of all men eramlned, 730,756, or 23.7 per cent were rejected for phys ical reasons.; That, It Is pointed out. shows an encouraging Improvement In the physical condition In ' the young men of the nation since Civil war dys for at that time the draft authorities relected . 32 per cent of all mn called on physical grounds. About' "no-half of all men called, rw 1.560.70 claimed exemption. The claims of 78 per cent of these were rrairted. showing In the opinion, of the officials, that very few fraudati lent claims were filed. Of those er moted. 74 oer cnt were released becans ef dependent relatives. 20 nr cent because thev claimed alien Mrth and natlonalitv; and only ! rwer cent on vocational grounds. Less 1 than i; per cent of the exemptions were granted to. re'lglou obiectori ijr thse. morally nnfft. The figure- are 3887 exempted because of re ligious ; belief. thlr exemption ex tending only to release from partici pating in actual combat, and 2001 rltrted for moral unfitness. Thej majority oH the latter were convicts now tn prison. i 7JitX Allen Are Cert i fie J. The total cost of the first draft. exrjnive of the: cost of the ?rovost milshal general' 'office here, wai 15.211,965. . ' i Tables accompanying the report show mnv striking results of thi draft. ' Taking the total of 1.243 801 aliens registered, it i shown that of the 457.713 called up for ex amination. 76,545 were certified for military service, having voluntarily waived their right to exemption as aliens and in effect volunteered for the battle of democracy. Even of the 381.168 exempted, 40 per cent went out on other grounds than their alien status. i There was evidently some vari ations of practice among the states on the question; of exempting- mar ried men. A total of 162,115 mar ried men hsve been certified for service. In Mississippi she. board held 38 per cent of all married men called for service; In Wisconsin and North Dakota only 8 per cent we -e held. It Is expected efforts will be made to unify the practice of boards more rlosely In this regard. Montana Lead Notvexemptlon, Montana led among the states tn the number of men called who filed no claim for exemption.. Figures for that state show thst 80 per cent of men called op were ready to go to A BIQ SENSATIONAL PATRIOTIC i SPECTACLE WITHOUT A BATTLE SCENE : . . Successor to "THE SLACKER" Also "Roping Her Romeo" a Hack Sennet 11 r n n ii rv n 11 the front. Kentucky had the great est number of exemption, claims, 52 per cent of all men called filing af fidavits. The average number - of claims was 46 per cent. This amount had been refunded to the states by the federal govern ment. It represents an average cost of $4.93 per man accepted for mill- tary tservlce, and with the ' provost marshal general's expenses Included, 15 per man, against a cost of $24. 4S per voluntary -recruit In 1914; $19.54 in 1915, and $S.9S in the first nine months of 1917. Prior to. the draft act during the; Civil war, the cost , per man was about $34, and after the draft . was en forced, about $9. 4. In discussing the future of the draft. General Crowder says the firrt duty Is to provide an adequate army. Economic considerations must be re garded in selecting the men. he euro, but not at the expense of; an efflorent fighting force. Viewed be tide the efforts Germany and Aus tria have put forth, to place man nower In the field, he adds, it little becomes- us to emphasise above a Residence Phone, 232. Phone 161. Republic Trucks'.
