NINETY AND NINE TO GO TO FRONT

BONNER COUNTY’S QUOTA INCREASED TEN BY ADJUTANT GENERAL’S OFFICE

The county board on Monday was informed from the adjutant general’s office at Boise that Bonner county’s quota of 85 men for the national army had been augmented ten more making a total of 95 young men who will leave here between June 24 and 29 for Camp Lewis. Notices were sent out this week by Auditor McCrea to the men who are to make report under this call and from whose number 95 men will be selected. Under the call four men were allowed Bonner county to go to Moscow university to take up special training. These four have been selected as follows: A.G. Sutton, Laclede; Paul N. Brannon, Spokane; Walter Brinkley, Priest River; Signey H. Smith, Sandpoint.

The date for embarkation of Bonner county’s latest men to go to the front has not been designated by the adjutant general’s department, but will be some date between the 24th and 29th of the month. It is expected that a big public demonstration will mark their departure.
