on.
The following Wallowa county young men have been called in the next
draft and will leave for Camp Lewis on Friday, April 26th:

______________________
Thirty-eight Wallowa county boys - much the largest draft called yet - will leave to join the colors Wednesday, May 29. A telegram summoning them was received last night by the local board, whose members met at the court house at once and prepared notices to be sent today to the men. The call came as a decided surprise, for there had been an impression that Oregon would gain an exemption equal to the many who have volunteered from the state, and so would furnish few if any at the next draft. This seems to have been a mistake.
The next 38 on the list, with their order numbers, are:
190 - James Stive Pappas, Vincent.
193 - Hiram Owen Powell, Flora.
195 - Hans Running, Enterprise.
200 - Harvey Zirba Downing, Enterprise.
202 - Roscoe Kellog Foster, Joseph
206 - Dick Lightfoot, Joseph.
210 - Jesse Martin Scholl, Enterprise.
220 - Charles Shelby Hamilton, Wallowa.
222 - Jasper A. Heminger, Enterprise.
232 - Alen A. Thomas, Wallowa.
248 - Ira Everett Marks, Imnaha.
250 - Albert R. Apperson, Enterprise.
262 - Earl A. Schaeffer, Wallowa.
263 - Leonard Boswell, Enterprise.
266 - Joseph Max Burdett, Joseph.
274 - Ed Jaensch, Enterprise.
278 - Albert Wesley Graham, Paradise.
279 - John H. Bratton, Wallowa.
284 - Lloyd Cecil Carpenter, Enterprise.
285 - Max Gumerman, Enterprise.
290 - Charley Beeman, Enterprise.
294 - Oscar Solis Barton, Meacham.
295 - Walter Enyart, Paradise.
304 - Albert Fred Strohm, Joseph.
306 - Emil Gustave Povelits, Enterprise.
307 - Charlie S. Junkon, Enterprise.
309 - Carl M. Jorgenson, Zumwalt.
310 -Benj. Owen Mallory, Bartlett.
312 - Earl Stephen Fort, Enterprise.
313 - Hans Finstad, Enterprise.
317 - Alfred S. Stumbaugh, Imnaha.

326 - Calvin A. Long, Enterprise.
328 - Jess Fields, Wallowa.
338 - Leavy Arbon Allen, Paradise.
348 - Raymond W. Throe, Cornucopia.
If any of these 38 men cannot go, the next men on the list will be called.
The next five are:
349 - J. Ronald Wagner, Enterprise.
355 - Lloyd Alvin Kenville, Paradise.
356 - Claud Jackson Pomeroy, Joseph.
362 - Harrison Hamilton, Enterprise.
364 - Kostusico Ray, Minam.
The men who will leave May 29 will go to Fort McDowell, San Francisco, for their first training. Most of the county's recruits have gone to Camp Lewis, but the last call prior to this went to the California contonment.
Two men registered in the draft have been inducted into the service and will leave tomorrow. They are Harry L. Gilham of Enterprise, who will go as a timber cruiser, and Charles Fisher of Minam, who will be a forest ranger. They go in response to a recent call for men of special qualifications. In addition volunteers leave every week. When the local board went thru the list to get the 38 men wanted, it was found that about half a dozen of the eligibles were already in government service.
