RAILROAD AND
-JULY 4 EVENTS
ARE DISCUSSED
NATIONAL CELEBRATION MAY
NOT BE OIVEN UP
I
Committee Met Last Night arid Mt
Again Tonight to Battle en Plan Pol
lowing Sentiment Expressed, That
Fourth of July Should Net Be Passed
Up Strahom Will Co-Operate With
Committees.
Following announcement in Mon
tlv'i .ti- nf ItiA ttiilt Ia Ih. hf.
feet that the celebration of the dedlca-1
I tlon of the Strmhorn railroad would be)
(held June 6th, and doing away with
Judy 4tb festivities, a meeting waa held
yesterday and the question further dis
cussed among the business men.
There was considerable sentiment
displayed that the July 4th celebra
tion should not be given up, and
the feeling was strong that two cele
bration would materially decrease the
Interest In both.
It was suggested by those present
that the two celebrations bo combined,
and a wire was accordingly sent Mr.
Strahorn, asking his opinion on the
matter. The following reply was re
ceived this merning:
"Spokane, Wash.. May IS, 1917.
"nuslness Men's Association, Klamath
Falls, Oregen:
"I will be very glad to conform to
any date or arrangement Klamath
Falls desires for opening celebration.
Will of course begin work much earlier
than the fourth of July but that need
not Interfere with celebration on the
Fourth and I will arrange according
ly." Signed Robert E. Strahorn.
8ome suggestion have been made
that Inasmuch aa the two two cele
bration are different In character, that
the railroad day be held on the Third
of July and the regular celebration on
the Fourth. The plana however are
not yet determined but at a meeting
of the business men scheduled for to
night at the City Hall, it la hoped that
all details will be arranged. Prior to
the regular session of the Bbslness
Mens' Association, the celebration mat
tor will be taken up and all Interested
are Invited to atend.
It is hoped that this celebration can
be made the biggest and best ever put
on in Klnmath Falls and with the In
terest and cnthuslaam already display
ed, success seems assured.

WAR DEPARTMENT SENDS OUT
ANNOUNCEMENTS
No Man Between the Ages, to Be De
clared, fr Registration la Exempt
Prom Census Unless He Is Already
In Service ef the Government Regis
trars Can Excuse No One Instruc
tions Olven.
WASHINGTON. May 16. The war
department has made the following an
nouncements regarding the registra
tion of cltisens liable to draft:
The war department wishes to Im
press upon the people that there I
only one day for registration. All
males between the designated ages
must register on the day set. The fact
that five days were allowed for the
placing of the necessary blank form
In the bands of registrars appears to
have misled some headline writers.
One day only tbo day fixed on the
president's proclamation will be de
voted to registration:"
The war department Is gratified by
the spontaneous offers of uncompen
sated assistants in carrying out the
work of registration.
One father. In offering to serve as
registrar, writes: "I have two sons in
the guard and one In the regular army,
but I want to do my own little bit."
This Is typical of hundreds of letters.
All such offers properly should be
made to the governors who are the
heads of the registration machinery
in their respective states.
It should be clearly understood that
no male resident ot the United States
between the designated ages Is ex
cused from registration unless he Is al
ready in the military or naval service
ot the United States; that is, a mem
ber of the regular army or navy, the
marine corps, coast guard service or
that part of the National Guard actu
ally in tho federal service. Registra
tion Is dtstlnct from selective service.
Registration is a necessary preliminary
to the later process of selection.
It is usless to ask registrars to ex
cuse" anyone from registration. The
registrar has no such powers. No
one can suspend the law requiring all
to register.
It is important that ail shall under
stand the significance of registration,
