Willie Illicit Is an employe In the
lumber 'camp of the Pelican Bay Lum
ber company, whore he has been re
tained steadily fur several years.
He had made up his mind to ask
exemption on account of those de
pendent upon him for support, but
when Insinuating remarks as to bis
motives were made he changed his
mind and proved his allegiance to his
flag by withdrawing his claim.
Edward Henry Owens Is a young
man well known In this city, where
he has been employed In various ca
pacities for several years. He is n
; son-in-lnw of F. C. Markwardt, man.

furnish anything that might be asked
of here In the way of men.
No program has been announced by
tho mayor for the meeting at the de
pot tomorrow, but there will probably
be ti demonstration of some kind
made and also some exercises arrang
ed for the departure of the larger
group, which goes forward later in
tho month.

than strength are needed, and at
these the women are making good.
Good reports are also made at the
