VOL. 35. COQUILLE, COOS COUNTY, OREGON, TUESDAY, JULY 24, 1917. NO. 45 HOW 10 DODGE IT Men intending to claim exemption or discharge from the draft by reason of their employment in certain neces sary industries, including agriculture, must bear in mind that such claims cannot be made to the local county exemption boards. These local boards are strictly for bidden, under the war department regulations, from considering or even receiving such claims. Instead, lcaims for exemption or discharge on industrial grounds must be presented to one of the district boards in the state. In Oregon there are three dustrict boards, one at Port land, one at Eugene and one at La- Grande. Moreover, these claims cannot be presented to the district board until after the man drafted has been called before the local exemption board, has passed his physical examination and has been certified by the local board as one who has been called for service and not exempted or discharged. It is very important to remember this procedure, if you plan to ask for discharge on industrial grounds. To sum up: Remember, first, you cannot make such a claim until you have actually teen called up for draft. And second, you cannot make it then until the local board has finished with you, has certified you and posted your name as called for service, and not exempted or discharged. Third, and very important, you must then file your claim, not with the local board, but with the district board of the district in which you are situated. You must file this claim, on a blank form you may obtain by application from the local board, within five days of the certifying and posting of your name by the local board. File your claim with one of the following three district boards under whose jurisdiction you are registered: District Board No. 1, at Portland, comprises three counties: Multno mah (outside of Portland), City of Portland, Clatsop, Tillamook, Yam hill, Washington, Marion, Jefferson, Deschutes, Wasco, Hood River, Clack amas and Columbia. District Board No. 2, at Eugene, comprises these counties: Benton, Coos, Curry, Douglas, Josephine, Lin coln, Linn, Lake, Lane, Polk, and Klamath. District Board No. 3, at LaGrande, comprises these counties: Harney, Malheur, Grant, Baker, Wallowa, Un ion, Umatilla, Morrow, Gilliam, Sher man, Wheeler and Crook. Finally, remember the seven pen alties provided by law for false state ments made for the purpose of seek ing exemption or discharge. Every man in Oregon registered under the selective conscription act should know just what to do if his number is drawn and he is called for service on the first draft, soon to be made. First he should learn, if he has not already dene so, the new red ink ser ial number of his regitsration card. He can learn this by applying to his local county exemption board. As soon as the names of the men to be called from Oregon on the first draft are known, the local exemption board in each county will post a list of the men drawn from that county. Only in counties that have already supplied their full quotas through vol unteers in the regular army and Na tional Guard, will this not be done. The county exemption boards will also send notification, at the address on his registration card, to each man called. This letter will direct the man drafted to appear before the board for physical examination on a specified date. Whether or not the man called in tends to file a claim for exemption of discharge, he must appear without fail on the date named. If he desires to file a claim for ex emption or discharge, he has seven days in which to do so from the day the call to him was mailed and posted The procedure is more simple than is generally supposed. First, if you come under the exemp ted class, go to your exemption board and ask for Form lid for exemption, or Form 121 for discharge (men hav ing dependents apply for discharge instead of exemption). Second, fill out the proper form and file it with the board. Third, do this within sev en days of the posting of the call to you to present yourself before the board. After having filed your claim, how ever, you will still have ten days in which to file proof. All proofs must FORESTRY NOTES. What Uncle Sam's Forestry Depart ment Is Accomplishing. The gross receipts from the, Na tional Fo-ests of Oregon, Washington and Alaska for the fiscal year ending June 80, 1917, were $644,937.57. This is $150,000 more than the receipts for the preceding year. The members of the Forest Service in Oregon, Washington and Alaska are raising a fund to buy an ambu lance for military use. Eagle Creek Camp and picnic grounds on the Oregon National For est attracted 2200 visitors on July 4. Forty tourists, traveling under the auspices of the Massachusetts For estry Association, are visiting the Na tional Forests and Parks of the West. For camp cooking, use a small fire. It requires less fuel, is easily ap proached, and can readily be put out before leaving camp. Timber sale business on the Nation al Forests of Oregon, Washington and Alaska amounted to $450,000 in the fiscal year 1917. Big Cheese Shipment. The local creamery shipped by the last Elizabeth which sailed from Ban- don last week 413 cases of cheese to talling over 27,000 pounds. This is the largest individual shipment of cheese yet made from the plant and was ednsigned to Los Angeles, Cali fornia. The shipment was made up of both cheddar and Jack cheese, there being 301 cases of the former and 112 cases of the latter. The market for the cheddar product at this time is so much better than that for the Jack cheese that practi cally all the milk is now being manu factured into cheddar cheese with a production of about 19,000 pounds per day. The receipts of milk are still hold ing around the two-ton mark though the season is now well advanced. The individual shipments are falling off but several new patrons came to the company this mui.tk which holds the total receipts up to the high mark. The second June payment for whole milk will be made in a few days, but the bookkeeper has not yet completed the figures so cannot announce the final result. Mr. Conway is expected over from Marshfield tomorrow and the final payment for June milk will then be made. P. D. McIntosh, of the Coos Bay Creamery, has made several trips to the local plant this month and is vir tually in charge as plant manager at this time. He is a man of wide ex perience in cheese making, having been iL? pioneer in the work in Tilla mook county, and he hopes to get the local plant lined up soon so he can look after both establishments. Russ Investors Visit Property. Messrs. Frank Williams and W. F. Kaussec of Ferndale, California, to gether with their families spent the past ten days in the Coquilie valley looking over the P.uss holdings here in which they are heavily interested. The party motored up from California and have been camped near the C. E. Schroeder ranch a few miles above this city. During the time they have spent here they have viewed nearly every acre of land owned by the Russ people and have given the property more attention than it has had from the private stockholders in many years. Both gentlemen are prominent in business circles in their home county, Mr. Williams being the junior mem ber o f the Russ-Williams Banking Company of Ferndale, and Mr. Kaus- sen being a prominent retail merchant of the same city. Mr. and Mrs. Wil liams left the latter part of last week for Marshfield where they expect to ship their car back to California an' proceed by train to visit Washing ton points whe.e they also have hold ings. Mr. Kaussen and family will leave this week by motor for their California home. be in the form of affidavits. Upon application the board will give you the official blank forms for these affi davits. Have the affidavits properly made out and return them to the board within the 10 day time limit. Another important fact to remem- I er is that county exemption boards cannot consider claims for industrial exemption. Such claims must be made to one of the three district boards that sit at Portland, at LaGrande and at Eugene. Moreover, claims for industrial ex emption cannot be filed with the dis trict boards until the county exemp tion board has certified and posted your name as one who has been called for service and not exempted or dis charged. THE NAMES OF COOS MEN CALLED Names of Those Who Are Liable to Conscription From This County Are Given The war draft was completed last week, but as yet the official results have not been received by the County Clerk Oddy. As the list of numbers drawn will be photographed and the photograph transmitted to the vari ous units of the United States by mail it will no doubt be several days yet before the official list is received. Below is the list sent out by the As sociated Press to the Coos Bay Times. In this list the numbers only were given, the names being filled in at the Times office. That errors may have been made in transmitting the num bers by telegraph is proven by the fact that there is a great discrepancy between this list and that published in the Record. Which list is correct will only be proven by comparison with the official list when received.

Third Payment Due. The third payment of the twenty percentum on Liberty Loan Bonds purchased by installments is due on COMMISSIONER'S SON WEDS. Ilandon Young I.ady Joins Him in Life’s Journey. Percy Philip, eldest son of County Commissioner and Mrs. Archie Philip, was married Saturday afternoon at 4 o’clock in this city to Miss Grace Gib son, of Bandon. The ceremony was performed by Rev. H. M. Law. The young couple left for Lakeside where they are visiting with the groom’s parents until today, Mr. Phil ip and his family are now on an out- | ing at the lake. The groom is a well known young man of Marshfield. Lately he has been working for the Southern Paci fic. He tried to join the engineering regiment which is to be sent to France but the government would not take him from his present post with the railroad, as it is regaided that the railroad men are important to th" war in their present positions. Mr. Philip is now stationed at Tim ber, Ore., and has charge of the round house there and has six locomotives to look after. He has a home ready there for his bride. The couple will leave Lakeside for Timber today. The bride is a well known Bandon young lady and a member of a family residing in that city. Another Examination. The United States Civil Service Commission announces that an ex amination for clerks will be held in the states of Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Washington and Wyoming on August 4, 1917, for the purpose of establish ing eligible registers from which ap pointments may be made to the differ ent branches of the Government ser vice. Attention is invited to the fact that the Secretary of the Treasury has recently advised the Civil Ser vice Commission that a thousand first-grade clerks will be needed for the Internal Revenue Service about September 1, 1917. This examination is open to men and women. As sufficient stenographers nnd typewriters have not been secured from recent examinations to meet the needs of the service, the Civil Service Commission announces that an exam ination for stenographer and typewri ter, and for typewriter only will be held August 3, 1917, at 40 or the prin cipal cities in the Pacific Northwest. There are excellent opportunities for the appointment of women stenog raphers willing to accept $900 and $1000 pe. annum. Practically all male typewriters who pass the examination will receive appointment. Typewri ters who do not have a knowledge of steography have good chances of ap pointment. Apply to Herbert F. Ward, District Secretary, 303 Post Office Building, Seattle, Washington, for applications and full information. Will Provide Ambulance. District Forester Geo. H. Cecil, Portland, Oregon, announces that the members of the Forest Service in the North Pacific District, compiising Or egon, Washington and Alaska, will raise a fund to purchase an ambu lance for military use. "Considering the great need for ambulances,” says Mr. Cecil, “ the fact that many Forest officers are en listing for military service and that j sacrifices of life, time and money are ! necessary until the war is over, it is ! believed that the call for contribu tions will meet a quick and generous response from the men and women employed in the Portland office and on the t' '"ty-seven National Forests in the District.” A dial bearing a red cross and the Forest Service shield and two mova ble hands, has been installed on the bulletin board at the district head quarters to show graphically the pro gress of the fund. One hand indi cates the amount pledged, the other the sum actually paid in. All contri butions arc voluntary, and it is ex pected the necessary amount will be raised by September 1. July 30th. The payment must be made on or before that date accord ing to the official statement of terms Marriage Licenses. and conditions of the sale of Liberty During the past seven days the fol Loan Bonds made by Secretary Mc- Adoo at the time subscriptions were lowing marriage licenses were issued by County Clerk Oddy: invited.

PER YEAR $1.50 ÏHE ROAD CENSUS The final census of the road work ers has not yet been completed but the roadmaster’s office is now busy on this work and promise a complete census of all the workmen now en gaged on road work in the county within a few days. As a result of the canvas already made it is estimated that less than five per cent of the workmen have ever been engaged in logging or mill work and this fact belittles the efforts on the part of the logging and mill men to have the road work stopped. When the census is completed it will be known whether or not every man on the road work in the county has ever been engaged in timber work, just what his regular avocation is, what his previous work has been and his reason, if any exist, why he docs not wish to work in the woods or the mills. This census will cover 15 or 16 road crews now working, whether for the county direct or for contractors, and will take in all the work in the en tire county. Each crew will be gone over and a detailed report on each man employed will be prepared. It is known that three or four men are now employed on the Coos City- Sumner project who were formerly employed in the mills on the bay but these men quit their mill jobs at the time of the strike and found other employment on the road work. On the north of the bay work practically all the men employed are farmers who would not engage in logging or mill work if the county work was suspend ed and it is the concensus of opinion among the people interested that very few loggers and hut a small percen tage of mill men would engage in road work if the mills were shut down and that, vice versa, very few men now engaged on road work would go to the mills or camps for work if the county should suspend all operations on the roads. It is reported that the Davis slough camp now h«s several men on the ex tra list and that practically all the men employed in the camps can make more money at that work than on the roads. It is also stated by those who know, that there are other reasons than road work for the shortage of men at the Powers camps, reasons that have nothing whatever to do with labor conditions. Another serious point which con fronts the county in this crisis is the labor feature. It the county now sus pends the work as requested by the mill and logging men serious difficul ties may follow with the laborers when it is desired to resume the road work. To suspend the work now will throw hundreds of men out of em ployment who have no other means of making extra money. Many men with teams have come into the county from outside points to secure work. These men have barely made the ex pense of coming in now and to let them out without warning would be a serious injustice and will give to this county a black eye on road work that it will take years to eliminate. Taken by and large, it is the judg ment of many men talked with here that to suspend the road work now will not only work a serious hard ship on many individual workmen but will do untold injury to the county as a whole when future operations are taken into consideration. It is not the wish of any to handicap the mill and logging men but it is not thought that the road work has much to do with the shortage of men in the cam os. Pole Delivery Slow. The Oregon Power Company's high power line from Henryville has been held up the past week because of fail ure on the part of the contractors to get the necesary poles delivered. The poles will come up from Rocky Point on the lower river tomorrow or next day and the work of setting them will immediately proceed. The first three miles of holes are now ready for the poles and the right of way has all been cleared and burned and with the poles on the ground it will take but a short time to complete the line. The right of way follows the county road from Henryville to the summit and then fol lows on the west side of the railroad to Cedar Point where it again comes on the county road to this city. The poles will be delivered by the railroad for the greater part of the line. Ex-Attorney General Crawford is in this city shaking hands with old friends and playmates. This was his home before his election to that o f fice and it is hoped that he may return here permanently in the near future.
