OREGON BOY sHANGHAIED.
Infamous Grimes Winked ut in Port.
lands Sailor Boarding Houses.

Shanghaied. forced to become a
sailor before the mast. and later i'm
pressed into the British army and all
before he was II years old. is the
thrilling tale that Jesse Humphreys
of Turner, Marion county, will have
to tell his friends upon his return
from England. which is expected
soon.
Jesse Humphreys, two years ago a
bellboy in the Merchants hotel at
Portland, is now On his way home
from England, after being shanghaied
aboard the Donna Francisco at Port
land, and one year ago last Septem-
ber being impressed into the service
of the British army Humphreys went
to Portland from Myrtle Creek, Doug
las county, and secured employment
as bellboy in the. Merchants hotel.
and was only 16 years old when he
was forced to become a sailor on
board the Donna Francisco. One
night he was out in the North End
of Portland with a crowd. and was
doped
1t was four months after his disap-
pearance before his parents received
any intelligence of his whereabouts,
although diligent inquiry was made
in Portland. All that was known at
the hotel where he was employed was
that he suddenly disappeared.
Young Humphreys was preparing
to take up course of studies at tn.
Y. NJ. c. A. night school at Portland
and his sudden disappearance was a
source of mystery to his parents and
friends. After four months word was
received from the lad at Liverpool
giving the information that he had
been shanghaied on board the Donna
Francisco, compelled to work before
the mast as an ordinary seaman
and put down at Liverpool without
money.

Since the present good weather
commenced considerable work has
been started throughout the county,
according to ]. c. Spoonemore, the
employment agent. During the past
week especially has this been true.
Aside from the men who have been
given places on farms many have
been taken by parties constructing ir-
rigation bitches west of here and also
i'm the north end of the county Ac-
cording to the above authority more
men have been needed for this ditch
work than for spring farm labor be-
cause of the fact that many farmers
ter to do their spring plowing.
According to Mr.. Spoonemore the
supply of men is still far in~ excess of
the demand for them, in spite of the
work that has been started. He states
that during the past week four times
as many men could have been Sc
cured as there was employment for,
consequently 1t would seem that there
is no need at present of outside men
coming here yet However, new work
is being started every day, and If the
good weather continues 1t will not be
many weeks before there will be no
excuse for an idle laborer in this
county. The lambing season will
start within next six weeks and many
may find employment in the sheep
camps.
