NOT BE DRAFTED
ALASKA UNTIL
JAN,15
Governor strong is authority for the
statement that the drafting In Alaska
J is not likely to take place before Janu
iary 15 next. In a telegram received,
J by the local exemption board. He also ]
furnishes other information of inter j
est to all registered men, and his men- j
sage is herewith published in full:
The attention of all local boards is
called to Section 5 of the act of May
18. 1917, providing for registration, and |
to sections 8 and 9 and 10 of rules
and regulations for local and district}
boards, the same being pamphlet form I
No. 13, as it appears that quite a num
ber^pf persons in Alaska failed to re
gister during the period from July 2
to*September 2, and are now applying
to local boards for registration. Local
boards are advised that every such
person should be registered and his
card given a serial number as pro
vided by sections 8, 9 and 10 above
mentioned. Before registering any
such person the local board must care
fully inquire into faith and circum
stance of case and make records there
for, and require appllaeant to file af
fidavit setting forth the faith, if satis
fied from statements and affidavit that
the person did not wilfully fail to re
gister within the required period,
board may then permit him to go, af
ter making proper record of his post
office address if he is going outside
the jurisdiction of the board. If the'
board is not satisfied from showing [
and affidavit that the person did not
wilfully fail to register within the
period, the board should see that com
plaint is lodged with the United States
commissioner, and Uiat the person is
arrested and proceedings against him
taken as a slacker under section 5 of
the act of May 18. The divisional
boards have no authority to register,
but should refer all cases to proper lo
cal boards, referring also to second
^J^S ^ rU'
shal general, and bearing form No. 24.
Boards are advised that where a per
son desires to go to a foreign country
prior to the time the drafting takes
place in Alaska, he should be required
by local boards to file application and
affidavit, setting forth the facts and
necessity, and applicant must engage
to keep himself in touch with his lo
cal board and must also agree in writ
ing to return promptly if called, and
it is suggested that wherever possible
permits be not granted for an absence
beyond June 30 of next year. Neither
divisional or local boards have any
authority to Issue passports, these be
ing issued only by the state depart
ment at Washington. For information
of all boards It is here stated that the
i drafting in Alaska will not likely oc
| cur before January 15 next, depending
upon the mail service.
Under the above ruling three more
have been registered in Cordova for
selective draft, since the regular list
closed, as follows: Dan Knutson. No.
655; Knute O. Berkeland, No. 656;
Bill Boeliis, No. 657. The average
board in the states registered 2230.
with a clerical force of about seven
teen, while the Cordova board has 657,
and all the work has thus far been
done without any clerical assistance,
excepting the extra work done gratuit
ously by Mrs. Mabel Smith. When the
draft comes, however, additional help
will be needed, and those who desire
to volunteer their services can turn
their names into Commissioner E. F.
Medley.

CORDOVA WATER TESTED
AND PRONOUNCED EXCELLENT.
It will be gratifying to the residents
of Cordova to know that the water
they are using is exceptionally pure.
Recently a sample of this water was
sent to Farbwerke-llolchst Company,
New York, for an analysis by Drs.
Daggett and Blyth. and in a recent let
ter received, they said: “AH of the
qualitative tests show the water to
be remarkably free from metallic sub
stances and entirely free from organic
products. The tests also show it to be
entirely neutral to acids and alkalies."

Miss Fannie E. Bray ton. principal
of the local schools, intends to inaugu
rate a campaign among the pupils for
the care and preservation of their
teeth, and with that end in view has
invited the professional men of Cor
dova to co-operate in a talk, or series
of talks, upon this subject.
This idea is being carried out in
all the larger cities, and was first
commenced in the Marion school of
Cleveland, under the supervision of
a lady principal. The experiment
proved that the efficiency of the child
ren waB so increased that although
such service as free dentistry was
given to the children at the expense of
the city, it really paid a profit in dol
lars and cents to the municipality.
Greater than repair is prevention, and
this is dependent upon the co-opera
tion of each pupil, so that teaching
along this line is the only course.
