Eight Hours

The l.boring men Of the east, especially
in Chicago. are making another effort for
the adoption Of the eight hour system OF
labor. The lax-making power has been
invoked to aid in the solution Of the prob
lem. and another field hs been opened
I'D 10 demagoguss. Il IS really dual
question. Tce many hours will ip!GTe a
mans health, and shorten his days; tho
few will not supply his wants. To strike
fair balance, to get at happy m-dsum
between these conf citing elements is II
matter Of Judgment, and in different
cases will lead 10 different answers. Il Is
a IN stake to supposs that large amount
az Isbur IA useful to health. On The con
rrary it is but slight variation from the
truth 10 say tn. less Nan w'rSs the
longer he will I've. Il IS hard work,
overwUrk, strainrng, taxing, t"ii, thai Kills
-shor:ens the average duration Of hfr.
We are nearly all hard workers for the
greater part of our lives. II we we're TO
consult our tastes in the premises We
should say not ten, nor eight, but hvr
hours labor. That is one side Of the
question.
For the other side, it is true, that as So
ciety is now constituted, with the pres
ent wastefulness, and extravaganza, and
lll-directed effort, i've hours OF labor per
day at the usual wages for that time,
would hardly keep starvation of, would
certainly fall far short Of sustaining the
present rate of Comfort everybody desires.
Every candid man Will admit that such a
cur,ailing of labor, or the hours of 1t,
would be, in nearly the Same degree, a
diminution Of the products of laboI. So,
after all, the problem substantially re-
solves itself into this: Can mankind al
forG 10 shorten the hours Of labOrl Shall
mankind have more leisure and wear
poorer clothing, live in cheaper houses
and live On meagre fare! Ills
is the question, and /. can find
no solution either IN philosophical
discussion, legislation or strikes, for 1t Is
already settled by the spontaneous customs
and practices OF society; the instincts at
the race having adjusted the proper bal
ance between toll on the one hand and
gratiicl,ion On the other, IN all free com
mun:ties 1t is a matter incapable, III Its
very nature, Of any other mode OF deter
mination. One of the singular things IL
connectInn with this question Is, that the
demand for fewer hours Is most generally
made, and most loudly demanded t"o,
by these whose avncations are followed
for only part of the yer, or whose eni-
ployuent is uncertain. THIS IL evidence
that sclh,hness and not prlnclple Is the
governing motive.

NORTHERN Pacific LASDS.-Respecting
adjustments OF withdrawal of lands for the
benefit Of the Northern Pacific railroad under
the grant Of Jaly 2, 1864. Secretary Teller
has directed the commissioner Of the general
land Office to conform to the line Of route as
definitely located, and to make an adjust
ment Of the route in accordance with the
maps Of definite location filed in lSSl-S2,
UPON which the road is constructed, fiom
the boundary line between Dakota aud Mon
tana to the last crossing Of the Yellowstone
river. and such other portions Of the road as
have been definitely located without mate
nal deviation from the line C the general
route and where the road has been con-
structed. The purpose is to permit adjust
ment of withdrawal Of land along the con-
structed portion OF the road. This order
will carry out the direction OF the president
IN approving the recommendation OF the
interior department that such portions Of
the Northern Pacific railroad as have been
constructed in accordance with law be ac-
cepted and that patents be issued Tor lands
earned. It appear. that maps OF definite
location show but slight divergence from
former maps, except where the line Of road
enters the Crow Indian reservation in Mon
,ana, and this deviation was authorized by
law

THE Oregon Railway & Navigation Gem
T,auy is building a line from Pendleton across
the Blue mountains southeast to Baker City,
Oregon. The Oregon Short Line, al enter
prise supposed to be backed by Jay Gculd,
Is bull ting from Granger, Utah, northwest
to a poin. near Boise City, Idaho. 1t is
about one hundred miles from Baker City to
and the only practicable railroad pass so far
found through the mountain range between
these points is the Burnt river canyon, 30
miles southeast Of Baker City. The Short
Line is seeking tide water in Oregon and the
O.R.SN. wants the southern Idaho trade.
Both want to get through the Burnt river
pass. TIE o. T. & n. made its preliminary
survey more than year ago, and hied the
necessary Iapers with the secretary Of the
interior. About three months ago part OF
the construction force at work In the Blue
mountains were sent forward to the coveted
pass and are now making the grade. Burnt
river ia a stream averaging forty feet wide,
and in twenty miles the railroad will cross
1t forty-four times. The pass is not wide
enough for tuo tracks on the same level, so
the Snort Line is surveying line 10 run
above the o. r ( \. Co.'S 1t is likely,
therefore. that there will be two railroads
through the canyon.

SHEEP FARMING. The Willamette Farm
er gives us the following of interest, not only
to the people of Umatilla County, but those
IN tins immediate section The greatest
sheep range In Eastern Oregon is found IN
Western Umatilla county. along the base OF
the Blue Mountli ans, and all through these
mountains. John Q. Wilson, formerly
resilient Of Sal IN, and Of late years in East
ern Ore.on. where he has been s:ock-raisIng
for twenty years, nov has sheep range
east of Heppner. AMI the other day gave us
interestius particulars OF his me thOis and
success. Last spring he had l,S5O ewes,
tha, brought him LOO lambs. 1t was a
fortunate year. as he did not feed at all
during the winter, and the wool yield was
good The grass came up early IN the
spring, lambiag time was April, and lambs
and ewes did well. Sbearing came IN May,
and after paying for shearing and transport
ing 20 market, where lie sold at ~ cents, he
realized fail average of 81 80 per head
from Lis wool, which gave him plenty OF
mems to handle himself. After shearing,
rhe sheep were driven into the mountains
The sheep eat the small grasses that come
up very thickly through all the foothills /;
when these dry up, as happens early IN the
summer, the mountains are near by, and al
tcri green grasses and tempting browse all
sumner. NJ. Wilson says you mus. put
flesh on your sfeep in June and July TO
make a success Of it SO, when the toothlil
grasses begin to dry he divides his sheep in
bands of l.S0o, putting an experienced
herder with a band OF that number, and
they star. by easy stages, driving few
miles everv day, until they get to their Gus
tOmary range.
