A NEW DIANA,
San Francisco Girl Olives Up Society
for Rough Mountain Life.

San Francisco, Cal, July 3.-Miss
Alice Hoffman has temporarily given up
the pleasures of society and is emulatinc
the example of Diana in the Yosemite
valley. Miss Hoffman has abandoned
conventional attire for the wild, pictur-
cSquc dress of the mountain girl. She
lives at camp with her brother, handles
the rod and gun, climbs the steepest
mountain trails and rides her steed like
II cowboy.
Miss Hoffman has long been a favorite
of San Francisco society. She seems to
hc possessed of the same fearless dispo-
sition as her sister, Miss May. who some
time ago startled her friends by accept
ing Il situation at the Bellevue hospital
FOR the express purpose of learning the
art of the trained nurse.
Miss Hoffman started out on n trip
TO Mount Dana with the avowed inten-
ton of climbing to its lofty summit, 49,
600 feet above sea level. The mountain
is about sixty miles from the Yosemite
valley, and in order TO reach it the party
will have to travel over almost inacccss-
ible trails and over dangerous lodges that
line the sides of rugged heights,

Scarcity of Labor is keenly Felt
at West Superior-High
Wages Offered.

West Superior, Wis, June so Spc-
cial. There is a decided shortage in the
supply of labor i'll this part of the coun-
try. The several employment agencies
of this city and the city'S own frs" en-
ploymcnt agency estimate that ther" are
places for from 1000 to 1900 men III this
vicinity at this time at wages ranging
from $1.75 To 50 per day. They cannot
secure the men to fill the orders. Con
tractors and lumhcrmcn find it almost
impossible to secure the necessary mum
ber Of men to carry on their work and
in some instances as high as S2.oO per
day has been paid. The general pay of
fcred is 81 per day and it is difficult to
obtain men at that price. Men are need
ed especially for railroad work and work
in the woods. There have been few la
hor difficulties this spring in this city,
the one or two incipicnt strikes which
occurred being quickly stopped by the
granting of the raise of wages and the
price of days labor has gone up all
