EASTERN CLACKAMAS NEWS Devoted to the Interests of Eastern Clackamas County V olume 11, N umber 49 FACTS REGARDING THE NEXT REGISTRATIONS Read Carefully And Dont Confuse The Two Different Registrations So important is haste in regis tering all men who will be affec- ed by the new draft law soon to be passed by Congress, which probably will extend the draft provisions to include men from 18 to 20, and from 32 to 45, in clusive, that local boards are com pleting all preparations now to conduct the registration. The date of the new Registra tion Day for these men cannot be foretold definitly until Congress actually enacts the law. But it will in all probabiliy be before September 15. Consequently, for their own protection, all men within the ages mentioned should keep very carefully posted through the newspapers in regard to the date of the Registration Day. This is necessary because there will be no time to give long notice beforehand. Registration Day probably will follow very closely the passage of the bill, because of the urgent need for more men to keep filled the ranks of Class 1. No excuses will be accepted for failure to register. Even ig norance of the date of Registra tion Da> will not be accepted. As the penalty for failure to register will be very severe, it is doubly imperative on every man affected to protect himself by learning the date as soon as it is announced. Registration will be conducted by local draft boards. These boards are now imperatively in need of volunteer registrars to assist them in the work of regis tration. This registration will be the most difficult feat of its kind ever attempted by any Nation, for it is estimated that the number of men who will register in one day will be close to 13,000,000. In the meantime, this Regis tration Day for men of 18 to 20, and 32 to 45 years,.inclusive, should not be confused with the Registration Day to be held Sat urday, August 24, for the regis tration of men who have become 21 years old since last June 5.

A u g u s t 22. 1918 Loyalty L ea g u e To M eet In C onvention Four M ore Local Boys L eave for Cam p The executive committee of the American Loyalty League has announced a county convention for next Saturday, August 24th, to be held at th* court house in Oregon City. It is desired that a good representation from Esta cada and the eastern Clackamas chapters of the organization be present, as there are a number of important measurers to be con sidered. The session will open at 10 o'clock, with registration of delegates, and throughout the day there will be some construct ive plans outlined. It is expect ed that a good speaker from Portland will be on hand to make an address. Remember the date, and remember that now is the time when the back line support of the forces across the sea must be welded more closely together than ever before. There is work to do at home, and the Loyalty League is offering an avenue of patriotic endeavor. Seventy-five more Clackamas County boys will leave for mob ilization camps the latter part of this month. With the departure of these men. the ranks of Class 1 wijl be depleted, these recruits being largely men who had at tained the 21 year age since the original registration. Of the county’s quota the follow ing are from Eastern Clackamas: Floyd Davis of Garfield, Art Smith of Eagle Creek, McColly Dale of Estacada: Otto Stulke and Murry Clark of Barton, John Richey of Boring and Erving Millard of Springwater. S aw Mill A ccident M ay Prove Fatal Fred Nitzchman of George who several weeks ago suffered the amputation of a hand, following an accident in a Garfield saw mil', was Sunday reported to have had a relapse at a Portland hos pital and for a time his life was despaired of. Last reports in dicate no improvement. Salvation A rm y D rive S ep tem b er 15 to 21 Clackamas County’s quota for the Oregon State Salvation Army War Service drive, which begins September 15th, is $1,400. Already the campaign is being advertised with permanent quar- ters established in Portland and a Clackamas County leader to be named shortly. 50,000 > OREGON ¡ salvation ; ^ A rm y *, A larm to A nnóunce City W a ter S h u toff In case four taps of the Esta cada fire bell are sounded, the public is advised that it is not for an alarm of fire, but to announce that within one-half hour, except in case of emergency, the city water supply will be turned off temporarily. In the past it has been neces sary to shut off the water supply to facilitate repairs in the mains and this advance warning will assist the public in making pre parations accordingly. Church C elebrates G etting O ut o f D ebt A celebration, including a din ner, speeches and general con gratulatory program was given at the Estacada Christian Church Tuesday evening in honor of that organization having disposed of all of its indebtedness. Part of the celebration was de voted to the official burning of the church mortgage and notes, leaving that worthy organization now out of debt and free to fol low an even greater career for righteousness in this community. The great work of the Sal vation Army among our soldiers is too well known to need exten sive comment and it is hoped this county will respond in its usual over-the-top style.

Reagan was award ed the contract for the bringing down to grade of sidewalk pro perty on Main Street between. 2nd and 3rd Sts. Mr. Reagan will also construct new plank walks before completing the job. Important road work is also underway with Marshal Lovelace in charge. Gravel has been spread on parts of Main Street near the postoffice and similar work will be done on other im portant portions of the city’s thorofares. $1.50 P er Y ear GLUE AND RED FORCES VIE IN TICKET SELLING Full Preparations Bein£ Made For Estacada Chautauqua Next Week Ticket selling for the Estacada Chautauqua, which occurs Aug ust 30 - 31 and September 2, has already begun.
