Pacific Coast Falls Below Expected Quota—Washington, 100,611, and California, 297,532—215,125 Shy on Expected Number—Lists to Be Published—Oregon Registers 62,985 Men as Her Available Quota
PORTLAND, June 8.—Sixty-two thousand nine hundred and eighty-five men between the ages of 21 and 30, inclusive, registered in Oregon on Tuesday.
One hundred and eight thousand and six hundred and eleven registered in Washington, and 297,632 in California.
It was previously estimated by the government that 108,105 would register in Oregon, 212,624 in Washington and 363,479 in California, leaving a total of 215,125 less than expectations.
Ninety-three men on the Klamath Indian reservation were registered Tuesday by the Indian service, which had charge of the work, according to a report received today from C. H. Asbury, official in charge of the reservation.
This increases Klamath county's total to 1,313 men registered, of these 264 registered as aliens.
The reservation registration includes all residents there.
The data on Klamath county's 1,219 men is being compiled and summarized, as well as checked in the sheriff's office by Deputy Perry DeLap. On official complete return for each precinct is expected to be ready tomorrow or the next day.
Sheriff Humphrey has been investigating a half dozen cases of non-registration, but so far has not definitely established a single case. One man, residing west of this city, was reported to have two sons who have not registered, and was reported to have made threats against any officer who should attempt to register his sons.
The sheriff called him on the long distance this morning, after investigating the case, and was informed that both the boys were under 21 years of age.
The sheriff said that the man was inclined to resent his interference, but when informed as to the sheriff's duties answered his questions. All reports are being investigated and the sheriff says he is prepared to do his duty.
One man, a foreigner, has registered since Tuesday. He gave no excuse for registering late, but the government's leniency in allowing some time for late registrations.
Lists of all registered men are to be posted and published by June 15.
