ON REGISTRATION The number of men who will reg ister in Umatilla county under, spec ial registration of August 24 la placed at about 35 by E- O. Draper, clerk of the board. Mr. Draper makes the estimate upon the basis of the num ber registered June 5, which repre sented the young men in the county who had reached the age of SI In IS months. The June registration wu about three months ago ami should therefore be about one-fourth of tha number In June, which waa 14.

Following the wire received yes terday by the local draft board the local draft board In structions have been received today from the adjutant general regarding; the registering of young men who have attained their 21st birthday be tween June 5 and August 24th.
