Why Kansas Must Go Outside of State
For HarvestLabor.

Partial returns to the free employment
bureau show that the labor wanted for
harvesting western wheat is not to be
found in the eastern counties Of Kansas
Everybody is at work there and men are
really needed in that section for or
binary industries The railroad commits
sioners have added their voice to that
Of the bureau and today sent circular
letters to the railroads asking to have
reduced harvest hand rates given. They
ask the roads to make rates as far east
as ST Louis and Chicago as well as
throughout the state since it becomes a
matter of necessity to go beyond the
state, because there is little, if any, sur
plus labor in any part Of the state.
D. W. Blaine of Pratt still maintains
20, 600 laborers will be required for har-
vest, while GeroW's figures are but half
so high, but piling up.

The steamer Queen has just arrived

Islander, sailing from Skagway on
August IA, when nearing the south
west end of Douglas island, at 2 a. H.,
August Is, and running at full speed,
struck a floating iceberg, and in less
than 20 minutes went to the bottom
of the deep channel, carrying money,
men. women and children to watery
graves.
The Islander had 1OS passengers,
and all were in bed when the vessel
struck. The shock was so severe that
many we're thrown from their berths.
and the widest excitement prevailed.
Word was soon passed that the vessel
was doomed, and a general scramble
for the lifeboats ensued, many jump
ing overheard and attempting to swim
to the shore, the distance being short.
In the scramble to get into the boats
many were hurled headlong into the
chilly water, which, according to pas
sengers arriving from the scene,
seemed alive with human beings. Be-
fore all passengers had left the vessel
she gave plunge and went down,
bow first. 1t is known that 60 lives
were lost. 1t will be some time be-
fore their names can be definitely
learned, as the purser lost his pas
senger list.

struck, said
THE night was fine, and as we al

out was kept. But at 2:40 a. IN. the
crash came. The boat was under full
speed, and no ice was in sight and
there was no fog, but the wind was

Result of Their Choice.
Victoria, b. c., Aug. 20.-A number
OF passengers of the wrecked steam
ship Islander tell of their thrilling
experiences during the disaster NJ.
Blumaeur, of Portland, who was
bringing out satchel containing $14,-
900 in Klondike gold, rushed up to the
upper deck when the boat was set
Ting by the head and Capt. Foote
told him there was little danger. Soon
there was a rush for the boats, and
when he was boarding the lifeboat
he was afraid to throw his satchel of
gold down from the deck into the boat
before steadying down into place
for fear that the weight of the gold
would stave hole through the bot
tom of the lifeboat, and thus cause
the loss of the lives of those in the
boat as well as losing his own chances
of safety. He concluded to abandon
his gold, and dropping the satchel on
the deck, he slid down into the water
and was hauled into the boat, thank
full to have his life saved, though he
lost his treasure.
Sam Starten, of Winnipeg, also
dropped a satchel laden with $1,000
gold, and friend lost his portman-
teau, with $4,000 gold in it, and each
escaped to tell the story; while one
man who had just come out from
the Klondike (his name could not be
learned) is reported to have taken his
pqrtmanteau from the care of the
purser, Mr.. B. Bishop, and with the
grip containing dust amounting to
$4,000 value, grasped firmly in his
hand, jumped from the sinking steam
er to boat close by, and, failing TO
reach the boat, he went down togeth-
er with his treasure. to rise no more.
