XL STEVENS POINT, JUNE 26, 1918. 51 DRAFT MEN CHOSEN TO FILUJEW CALLS List of Those to Be Sent to Next Month Made Up By Board The Portage county registrants to be sent to Columbus Barracks, Ohio, in July for general military service will be chosen from lists made up by the local board today. The number to be sent to Columbus Barracks, is 60. but this will be divided into two parties of 30 each, one to go during the five-day period beginning July 5 and the other during the five-day period beginning July 15.

Entrainment instructions have not yet been received. The board will hold a meeting again en Wednesday, July 3, at 1 p. m. to hear any claims that may be presented for deferred calls on agricultural grounds. Owing to the large draft calls that have been issued during the last several weeks, local boards must necessarily exercise great care in passing on agricultural claims in order to avoid exhausting class one.

As a result only agricultural workers absolutely essential to the operation of farms on which they are located can be excused, even temporarily. In the list published below there will be more than enough men to fill the two calls. Those left over from the July 5 list will be placed on the top of the July 15 list, and those left from the latter list will be put in the call for the five-day period beginning July 22, when 135 men will be sent to Camp Grant. The list for Camp Grant will be made up by the board at its meeting 1 on July 1. The lists for July 5 and 15 follow: July 5 List Tom Ostrowski, Amherst Junction, 1.

Dak. w. s. s. WILL GET BACK PAY Thousands of Dollars to Be Distributed Among Soo Line Employes This Summer Thousands of dollars in back pay, in accordance with the recent railway wage award, will be distributed hrough the Stevens Point offices of the Soo line during the next several months.

Under this award practically all railroad workers in the country received wage advances, the increases being retroactive to January 1, 1918. As a result the railroad accountants have a big job on their hands to compute the amount due each employe. At the Jocal Soo offices the accounting department is busy with this work. The back pay will be computed for each month separately and checks covtfcing these amounts! distributed each month for five months. It is expected that the first checks will be ready for distribution about the middle of July.

The pay rolls for the first half of June have been made up on the new basis and have been forwarded to the general offices at Minneapolis. The checks will be distributed July 1. For the months of January, Februaijy, March, April and May the employes were paid in accordance with the old scale, so that they will be entitled to back-pay for those months. An illustration of the effect of the new wage schedule is given by the case of crossing flagmen. The Soo line has many men working in this capacity who are incapaciated for most other kinds of work and who have been getting $1 a day for their services.

Now these men will receive an increase of $20 a month, and in addition $100 in back-pay for five months. It is estimated that approximately S33.000 will be distributed in back-pay hecks among section men and station men on the northern district of the Soo line. To this amount will be many thousands of dollars to men in other branches of the service. w. s.

For several months Walters had een solicited by his friends, not only Portage county, but in other counties of the district, to enter the field. However, he has only recently made up his mind to make the run. He has interviewed leading citizens in various parts of the district and is greatly pleased with the encouragement that has been given him. Promises of support from substantial and, in some instances, unexpected quarters leads him to believe that his chances for winning tho nomination and election are good, to say the least. Dr.

Walters served Stevens Point as mayor three terms, and was elected the last time by the largest majority ever accorded a mayoralty candidate in the city. He has also been president of the Stevens Point Business Men's association and of the Republican county committee. Last winter when the car shortage caused a virtual tie-up of potato shipments from this county, he took agressive action toward securing relief for growers and dealers, and it was in no small measure due to his influence and persistency that the situation was improved. Although commissioned a captain in the medical reserve corps of the army several months ago. Dr.

Walters has not been called for service, owing to the fact that younger men have been available. Needless to say he is for vigorous prosecution of the war. and he lays particular stress on the importance of intelligent readjustment after the war. E. Browne of Waupaca.

present congressman, will in all probability be a candidate for reelection on the Republican ticket. Another opponent of Pr. Walters for the nomination will he Michael (J. Kberlein of Shawano. who was defeated by Mr.

S. MAY COMBINE DEPOTS Stevens Point May be Affected by New Policy Recommended hy Railroad Administration Consolidation of the Soo line and Green Bay Western depots, both freight and passenger, in Stevens Point as a war-time economy measure is a possibility. The question is now under consideration by officials of both roads, Supt. C. E.

Urbahns of the Soo line told a representative of The Gazette Tuesday. The plan is to handle all passenger traffic through the new Soo line station, and also to close the Green Bay freight depot for the period of the war. "The federal railroad administration has left the matter entirely in the hands of officials of the various roads, while at the same time encouraging consolidation wherever possible and advantageous," said Mr. Urbahns. "Where depots are near enough together and it is possible to handle the efficiently, consolidation is advisable.

In this way man power is conserved and the expense of maintaining separate depots is saved. I cannot say definitely whether or not a consolidation will be effected in Stevens Point, but it is being considered." Mr. Urbahns also said that consolidations are also being considered at Plover, Park Falls, Chippewa Falls, Ashland, Port Edwards, Nekoosa, Arpin and other stations on the northern district of the Soo.

Myron Moen, who has been at home for several months, anxiously awaiting his call to service as a lieutenant in the dental reserve corps of the army, has accepted an offer to sing in grand opera at the Davidson theater, Milwaukee, for three weeks be- o-inning June 30. The offer came from the Boston English Opera which has recently filled notable engagements in San Francisco, St. Louis and Chicago, headed by the popular American tenor, Joseph F. Sheehan. The operas Faust, II Trovatore, Bohemian Girl and Martha are in the company's repertoire.

Dr. Moen while a student at Marquette University, was prominent in musical circles in Milwaukee and has taken part in grand opera there before. FLOUR FROM POTATOES Factory for Manufacture of That Food Product May be Located in Stevens Point A potato flour factory will be established in Stevens Point if negotiations now pending are successful. An outside concern, whose representatives have visited this city recently, are looking for a location and Stevens Point is one of three cities being considered. The company has opened negotiations for renting the plant of the National Brewing with the.

privilege of buying later. A meeting of the bond holders of the brewing company will be held at the company's office at 2 o'clock next Monlay afternoon, when the offer will be considered and possibly some action taken. The brewery buildings have not been used for a year or more, the company having made a voluntary assignment for the benefit of its creditors. The buildings are in good condition and well adapted to other manufacturing uses. The company promoting the potato flour factory is anxious to close the deal as soon as possible in order to the plant ready for fall operations.

They are favorable to Stevens Point, especially because of the fact that this city is conveniently situated in the greatest potato-raising region. It is probable that if the company locates here it will offer some stock to local parties. Although the plant, if established, will not employ a Targe number of men, the advantages that would re- would be it is believed.

This is the estimate of members of the local board following the receipt of orders to send a total of 206 men to camp during the coming month. The August calls, it is practically certain, will exhaust class one entirely as it now stands, and may draw upon the registrants of June 5, 1918, who will by that time be classified and given order numbers.

The calls to be filled by Portage county in July so far reported are: 30 to Columbus Barracks, Ohio, during the five-day period beginning July 5. 90 to Columbus Barracks, Ohio, during the five-day period beginning July 15. 135 to Camp Grant, 111., during the five-day period beginning July 22. Three men for training as chauffeurs and repair men will be sent to Chicago on July 1, to a government school. Three more will be sent to the same city on July 15 for the same kind of training.

Under a call received Tuesday 510 Wisconsin men will be sent to Valparaiso University, Valparaiso, July 15 for general mechanical training. Of this number about five will be taken from Portage county. The call upon Wisconsin for 5,200 men to be sent to Camp Taylor, Kentucky, during the five-day period beginning July 22 has been distributed among other counties. The local board has combed the lists thoroughly in accordance with war department instructions, but despite the fact that some registrants who had been orginally given deferred classifications were placed in class one, the number in class one now will leave but a small surplus for future calls after the July quotas are filled. there were 264 21-year old men who registered last June 5 in the county, and these will be taken before class two is invaded.

The new registrants will be classified within the next ten days and given order numbers through the drawing to be made at Washington. The local board is already sending out questionnaires to the new registrants. Eighty-five blanks were mailed out Tuesday, 85 today and the balance, or 94, will be sent Thursday. The ouestionnaires must be returned to the board within seven days from the date of mailing. The legal advisory board will be in session at the court house in this city daily from 9 to 12 in the forenoon, from 1 to 6 in the afternoon and from 7 to 9 in the evening next 10 days to assist registrants in making out the questionnaires.

Registrants who are out of the county can go to the nearest legal advisory board for assistance. TT FLY HONOR FLAG A place has finally been found for the city's Liberty Loan honor flag. After holding the emblem for more than a month debating with himself what to do with it, in view of the fact that the city has not a regular flag staff, J. R. Pfiffner.
