HARVEST RATES THIS YEAR.
Western Railroads VIII Discontinue
Them-Isaborers Are Qutte
Plentiful.

There will be no special rate named by
railroad lines west OF st. Paul this year
for lahorers seeking employ mont in tho
harvest fields OF the Northwest. In past
years IL has been customary to make a
very low rate for this business with tho
double purpose OF assisting tho farmers
with u quick harvest and helping laborers
who were out of and anxious to secure
employment.
The announcement that no such rates
will prevail this year has been made from
headquarters TO all general agents In the
West. The reasons set forth are brief.
n In stated tho crops In Minnesota aud
Dakota are no badly damaged by con-
tinuod dry spell that II with not take
moro than half the usual number of la
borars to take care of them and a good
portion OF these were already In the dis
tricts ready TO 40 to work.
In tho Western states, Washington,
Idaho and Montana, where the crops will
prove as good usual. Il Is expected
there will be enough labor travelling at
regular rates TO furnish an adequate
force.
