July 22.—Within a few days ofticial lists of the draft aerial number», »bowing the order in which they were drawn in the lottery at Washington. will reach the varioua county exemption board». Following receipt of these lists. the boards will notify the men called up on the first draft. Until then it will not be neces­ sary for thoae subject to call on the first draft to report. But as soon as they receive notification from their boards, they muat report promptly on the day designated. The first step taken by each board will be to post in a conspicuous place a list containing the name» of all the men registered in its county or dis­ trict, in the exact order in which they will be called on the first and all succeeding drafts. A copy of this list will also be given the press for publication. Let it I* emphasized again that this Hat will have not only the names of the men to be called out on the find draft, but of every man regis­ tered. in the order in which he must be called. No person whatsoever has any authrity to change this order. Having posted thia list and given a copy to the press, the board will then notify by letter every man called up on the first draft. Each man will tie directed to appear be­ fore the board for physical examin­ ation on a specified date, which will be within aeven days of the mailing of the notice. Failure to receive this notice will not be accented as an Excuse for not appearing on the day set The bur­ den of appearing when he ia called is on the man himaelf; there is a heavy penalty for failure to answer the call. Remember, that regardless of whether a man inteods to apply for exemption or discharge, he MUST appear for physical examination on the day set. He has seven days from the posting of the list and the mailing of the notice to him by the board in which to file application tor exemption, and 10 more days in which to file proof. And remember again, that no claims for exemption because of em­ ployment in necessary industries. ln- cluding agriculture, can be consid­ ered by your county exemption board. Such a claim muat lie made to one of the three districts appeal boards, at Portland. Eugene, or La Grande, It can only he made then A>TC* the man has passed his physical examin­ ation and been certified by the coun­ ty board a» called for military ser­ vice and not exempt. After you bare appeared before your county exemption board and paiiM-d the physics! examination, it will still be some time before you will acctually be called out to join the army. You will be notified when it is time for you to report for ser­ vice. Washington. July 24.—Preaident Wilson brought the Shipping Board row to an abrupt termination today by eliminating the two principals. William Denman, chaijman of the board, and Major-General George W. Goethals, manager of the board's emergency fleet corporation in charge of construction. The resignation of General Goe­ thals. tendered some days ago. was accepted, aud Mr. Denman, asked by the President to follow suit, that Geverment’s building programme might go on forward without em­ barrassment. Edward N. Hurley, of Chicago, former chairman of the Federal Trade Commission, was named by the President to succeed Mr. Den­ man to become chairman of the board, and Bainbridge Colby, of New York, was appointed scccessor to Captain John B. White, of Kan­ sas Citv. another board member, whose resignation, offered to (he President a month ago. alao was ac­ cepted. Rear-Admiral Washington L. Capps, chief constructor of the Navy, will succeed General Goethals as manager of the fiect corporation, taking immediate charge of the building programme.

Indeed this la ob­ viously the thought of President By courtesy of E. C. Peery, The Wilson in his appeal to the coun­ Tribune editor attended an ice try on April 16. 1917. which in­ cream social Saturday evening, given cluded the following statement: by the Riverside Farmers' Union. The good sized audience was a little late and the quite lengthy pro­ gram of sung» and recitations did not commence until nearly 10 p. m. Consequently the address of E. C. Peery, the only speaker of the even­ ing. aside from the address of wel come by President Smith, was nec­ essarily short. Mr. Peery's talk was of a general nature, in which he emphasized the value of harmonious cooperation and the good that could result from frequent social gatherings of the people, where they could get to­ gether socially and exchange idea» upon subjects in which all are Inter­ ested. The ride down there and back was must enjoyable, over the fine gravel road». If Commissioner T. J. Butler should pass over these roads, he would surely say they would require but little work to place them in a condition for paving. A remarkable feature of the evening was nearly ail the people came to tho social in automobiles. Only two or three horse drawn vehicles being in evi­ taken awav aud the track is being taken up. Albany has had a sort of bob­ tailed street car service for many years. The track formerly extend­ ed more than one mile ooulh of the S. P. depot to what was then known as Goltra Park edition. But Albany did not grow into a city of mag« nificent dimensions as was then hoped for. This was in the boom days when the Oregon Pacific rail­ road had reached Albany and was being extended east to cross the mountains to the eastern border of the state. But the rood stopped when it reached a short distance beyond Gates, the street car line to Goltra Park torn up because it did not pay and the street car service was re­ duced to a short line fmm the St. Charles hotel to the depot. Now the iitneys have so far reduced the always small pay to one of daily loss and the service no longer exists. This does not mean that Alliany is grow’ng backward, but that the jit­ dence. ney has changed conditions. Business Opportunity Any person desiring to purchase a rood paying business is invited to call on J. F Wesely at Scio, execu­ tor. as the entire business and prop­ erty of the late Charles Weeely ia for sale. St Manager R. E. Peery, of the Crown mines and J. T.
