FORMER OFFICIAL IN JAIL.
Sunderland Is Returned to North Da-
kota.

WAHPETON, N. D., Aug. 1S.-A.
E. Sunderland, formerly register of
the Fargo land Office, is in Jail mere
charged with abandoning his six
minor children. Four years ago he
left the children to Lidgerwood and
went to New York and it is claimed
they have heard nothing from him
since that time. His father-in-law,
Adolph Bessie, brought the children
to this city and began a search for
their father. About two weeks ago
Sunderland was located in New York
city. and Monday he was arrested by
Sheriff Robbins of this county, who
was sent from mere armed with requl-
sition papers. The sheriff arrived here
with him last night.
The crime for which Sunderland is
charged is a penitentiary offense, the
extreme penalty being one year and
six months and fine of $500 for each
offense. AS he has six children it
will likely go nard with MIN if the
charge is proven.
Sunderland has had varied career
since coming to this city twenty-one
years ago. He is a native of Austria,
is very we'll educated and speaks sew
eral languages f1uent1y. While living
!, tbic citv he hold several clerkShipS
in the county offices and was elected
county auditor twice. Later he prac-
ticed law and during Clevelands
second administration was appointed
register of the Fargo land office,
which position he held for four years.
Early in 1898 ne returned to this city
and at the outbreak of the Spanish
war was appointed a lieutenant IN
Grigsby's rough riders.
His wife, who was daughter OF
Adolph Bessie Of this city, dled
shortly after his return from the army,
leaving six small children. Sunder-
hauf took the children to LidgerWood
in this county and left them with
friends while ne went to Alaska on
gold-hunting expedition. In August
1901, he returned from Alaska, went
to Lidgerwood to see the children, and
left in few hours, and it is SAID tney
have not heard from him since.

Agriculture Verify Earlier
Representations.

spring wheat on August 1, according
to comparative crop estimates sent
out to various chamber of commences
OF the state by the United States of
agriculture. These reports verify
representations sent out earlier in the
season on the position the state will
occupy in the production of spring
Mheat.
The average condition of spring
wreat on August 1, was 1872 as COM
pared with 900 last month, $40 on
August 1, 1901; I'll at the corre-
spending date in 1908, and a ten-year
August average of 1913.

EASTERN WASHINGTON GRAIN
GROWERS CAUSE RAILROAD
HELPERS TO QUIT JOBS.
Many Men Are Leaving Gradins
Camps end Seek Employment In
the Harvest Fields.

now engaged in harvesting the great
est wheat crop in the history Of the
state, have raided the camps of the
railroad construction contractors and
have in some instances caused a prac-
teal suspension of railroad work. The
situation. is not without precedent
in past harvest seasons, but it is
doubtful if there ever was a time
when farm labor commanded so high
a price as today.
Conditions are particularly severe In
Lincoln and Douglas counties. The
appeals sent by the farmers to the
larger cities of the state have resulted
in the establishment Of a scale Of
wages which in few short weeks
brings unequaled prosperity to the
itinerant laborer who is looking for
remunerative employment.
The result has been that construct
ion work on the railroads of the north
west is practically at standstill, and
the contractors and railroad COM
panies, realizing the situation, are
patiently waiting until the bumper
wheat crop is ganered before starting
in earnest with construction.
Projected Lines Suffer.
Several electric railroad lines pro-
jected out of Spokane have suffered
from a shortage of help. The same
thing is true regarding the o. R. & N.
and Northern Pacific joint CONSTRUCT
ton of the Riparia line. The Elgin.
Or, extension of the o. r. & N. is now
under way, but it is stated that little
real progress in construction and
grading can be made until the farmers
who have the first call on ordinary Ia
Dor, are through with their fall har-
vesting. This will not be finished I'M
til about October 1 next.
Railroad contractors pay ordinarily
take 81 a week or better from the
wages of the men for their board. The
man of Drawn who is looking for a
chance to lay up enough money to
carry him through the winter can do
far better in the wheat fields of east
ern Washington, so that the impOrtu-
mites of the railroad labor contract
ors are scorned. Common labor In
the harvest field brings from 50 to
$3.50 per day, including board. The
work is hard and the hours long
from sunrise to sunset-but the best
class of laborers prefer to work hard
for big pay, with board included.
than to WELD the pick and shovel In
the railroad grading camps.
Good Wages for Harvesters.
It does not take long for man with
little experience in the harvest
fields to command more than the pay
for common labor. Men with teams
get from 81 to Sc per day. A good
forker or sacker will make easily from
SO to 81 per day, including board.
Such men in the fall and winter
months work in the grading camps.
The scarcity in farm help extends
all over the northwest. Authorities
state that $4,000 hands are needed In
the Dakotas and Minnesota. This fig
ure is not much over the mark, II
anv In Washington the wheat grower
has a shade the best Of the Dakota
and Minnesota farmer, as the wheat
in this state stands clean and fast un-
til the winter SHOWS, enabling the
harvest crews to work until nearly
Christmas.

SPEAKER CANNON HAS HARD
TASK IN SELECTING CHAIR
MAN OF COMMITTEE.
Committee Is the Most
Important One In the House
Of Representatives.

the committee on appropriations lol
the ffty-ninth congress will be one OF
the most difficult tasks laid before
Speaker Cannon at the opening OF the
coming session. It is customary to
fill vacant chairmanships of house
committees by promotion, and when
a craftsmanship becomes vacant Tor
any cause it is the practice to give
that position to the next ranking
member. But this cannot be done In
his instance, is the report that comes
from Washington, D. c.
The Craftsmanship of the appropria-
tions committee is one of the most
important positions in the house OF
representatives. The requirements OF
the Office are many. The chairman
must be or should be a man or hlgh-
est integrity, a man of discernment,
l man we'll acquainted VITA govern
mental methods and the manner OF
operating the various departments OF
he government, and withal, man
ready in debate. capable alike of
meeting the attacks of the opposition
and assaults from members of mis-
own party. Every appropriation bill
is subject to attack and criticism on
he floor of the house; it must be de-
fen.fad. Every appropriations COM
mittee, while framing a bill, Is be-
sieged by dozens, yes, hundreds OF
members clamoring for appropriations
for their districts, and is flooded with
demands for money from every bu-
reau of the government. The chair
man of this committee must be able
to sift the necessary items from the
unnecessary; must be able to ward Off
influence that is behind projects
lacking in merit, and must be able to
stand by and defend every item of his
bill when it is brought into the house.
Talent Is Scarce.
IL
member is competent to fill this chair
manship And it is extremely I'M
fortunate at this time that no MEM
Der of the present appropriations COM
mittee meets the requirements. If
Sneaker Cannon does the right thing
by the country and by his party he
will not promote any member OF the
concentrations committee to the
Craftsmanship, but will select some old
experienced and tried member from
some other committee for this i'm
nortant office, which carries with it
the title of watchdog Of the Treas
ury."
Representative Henry H. Bingham.
of Pennsylvania, is ranking member
of the appropriations committee and
is the father of the house of rep
resentatives," being the oldest member
of that body in point of service. Cen
eral Bingham was first elected to the
Forty-sixth congress, and has served
continuously since 1879. But Cen
eral Bingham has such weaknesses,
we'll known to his colleagues in the
house. which totally unfit him for the
Craftsmanship, and he cannot be ap-
pointed.

Possible Timber.

Next in line is Representative j. T..
McCleary, of Minnesota, a fair, aver
age congressman. The greatest OBJ
lection to McCleary, is that he lis
not big enough for the job" From
the local standpoint McCleary is a
good congressman, but he is not a
leader, he is not of large callber.
He might, if appointed, make a fair
chairman, but not a great one.
Following McCleary comes Lucius
N Littauer, of New York. He has
served ONLY three terms in congress,
is not specially we'll acquainted with
governmental methods in general, has
no personal following in the house,
and does not possess the character
istics of a leader of men. Moreover,
there attaches to Littauer the stigma
of having become involved in a nasty
army glove scandal, which would I'M
dermine his usefulness and lay him
omen to continual censure. Though
whitewashed by an investigation, the
impression prevails that no man who
has been besmirched in a government
contract scandal should be placed at
the head of the mighty appropriations
committee.
Are Only Average.
Walter P. Brownlow of Tennessee
comes after Littauer. He is followed
by Washington Gardner, of Michigan.
Then in order are Frederick H. Gillett,
of Massachusetts, Walter I. Smith of
Iowa. and Benjamin F. Marsh of ILL
nois. All five, like McCleary, are av-
erase congressman, nice fellows, but
thew are only average men, and they
are all men of brief service in con-
gress. not thoroughly familiar with
congressional and departmental meth

DDS. and, therefore, not fitted for chair
man. Not one member Of the COM
mittee has any special following in the
house, not one is strong enough for
chairman.
This lack Of good material naturally
gives rise to the question, Ought
not the committee on appropriations
be entirely reorganized, so as to in
clude some Of the big, influential and
powerful members of the house? The
present committee was largely select
ed by Speaker Henderson,; he may
he could dominate them, and literally
dictates the terms of all appropria-
ton bills. If so, mis- course was to
be condemned.
Hints to Cannon.
The committee on appropriations,
virtually controlling every cent in the
United States treasury, stipulating
how it snail be expended, and in
what amounts, ought to be made up
of the best material the house has to
offer. 1t ought to include the BRAIN
lest men, the best informed man, and
the most honest men in the entire
membership of the house, instead of
average members, elected to look after
one district, it ought to be composed
of men big enough to look after the
affairs of the nation as well. Men like
Tawney of Minnesota, Hepburn of
Iowa, Burton of Ohio, Sibley of Penn
sylvania, Dalzell of Pennsylvania,
Payne of New York, Cooper of Wis
consin, Grosvenor of Ohio, and others
who have been tried and who have
made good ought to be given charge
IF the nations finances. So great a
latter ought not to be entrusted to
the hands of men of smaller calibre
or less experience. If Speaker Can
non did the right thing, he would re-
organize the committee, and build 1t
up of such material as this.
Incidentally it might be said that
the great west with it's vast needs
and it's vast and growing population,
ought to have representation on the
lppropria tions committee; it mas none
now. Minnesota and Nebraska are
the only western states now repre-
sented not a state beyond them has
a voice on the appropriations commit
tee. This is not right, the west ought
to have no less than three votes on the
appropriations committee, and Speaker
Cannon, in all fairness, should see
that the west is recognized on the
next committee which he must appoint

Mr.. Warfeld said that Mr.. Harris stated there
was no disposition on his part to make changes
in the postofice force. As there are no vacan-
