Show POCATELLO HEWS POCATELLO, Idaho, Sept 11 Poc-atello Poc-atello will observe registration dav tomorrow to-morrow as a legal holiday, and Mayor A: B. Bean has issued a proclamation declaring the day as a holiday and asking for the suspension of all business bus-iness that the men who come within the draft may be given unlimited opportunity op-portunity to perform their duly. The proclamation permits such concerns as otherwise operate on Sundays and holidays to remain open as usual, but all other enterprises will be closed all day. Bannock county's estimated number of registrants is 5075, by far the highest in the state, and much time will doubtless be needed to register regis-ter this large number of men. The student army training corps to be alloted to the University of Idaho, is to be raised by voluntary induction of men of draft age as soon after registration reg-istration day as possible, instead of by the volunteer system as at first announced through the war department depart-ment to President Lindley of the University Uni-versity of Idaho at Moscow. The new order states that men being inducted into this service will be under military mili-tary discipline and under full and active ac-tive duty. The school's quota, which is said to be as many as it can accommodate, accom-modate, is to be filled before October 1st, says President Lindley.
