For some time past there has been
considerable friction between the local
officers of the Goldfeld Water company
and the eastern capitalists who are back
ing the concern over the question of
salaries and maintenance. Unable to
arrive at a satisfactory adjustment of
their affairs an appeal was made to the
district court for the appointment of a
temporary receiver. The request has
been granted by the court but the re-
ceiver has not been named.

KILL RATS BY THE THOUSANDS
Pesky Rodents Doing Untold Damage
to Wheat Fields in Crook
Crook County.

G. L. Paxton was in town during
the week from his homestead in 1914
and reports that the grain in his
neighborhood is looking fine, and that
prospects for a big crop were never
better, says the Madras Pioneer.
He says that the greatest menace
to the crops now is in the destruction
of the growing grain by the sage
rats, which infest this section of the
country in alarming numbers. During
the spring Mr.. Paxton and his neigh
Dor, Jacob Loney, have been wagiDg
war on these pests, and since Feb
ruary they have caught and killed, in
Guiding the young, in the neighbor-
hood of 5000 rats They have had their
best success with traps, catching as
many as a dozen a day in one trap,
and they have also killed great many

MODRAS, Or, June IAN injunc-
ton has been served on Judge Bell
and Commissioners Stearns and Pow
ers from letting any contract for the
construction Of new court house.
The suit to enjoin is brought by Chas.
S. Benson, of Bend, acting for nu-
merous taxpayers throughout the
county who opposes the building OF
a new court house at this time. Bids
were to be received by the county
clerk until 10 o'clock yesterday morn
ing, and it is believed that the con-
tract was to have been awarded then,
so that there was but little time to
spare when the papers were served.
The purpose Of the county court to
let a contract for a new court house
was not discovered until about ten
days ago, when the notice of the coun-
ty clerk, calling for bids for the con-
struction of a new court house, ac-
cording to the plans of Salem ar
chitect, was discovered in the CLASH
fled ad department of a Portland pa
per. No official notice had been given
in any county paper, nor was there
any intimation in any county paper or
from the county officials that such
measure was under consideration.
Great indignation has been aroused
throughout western Crook county by
this action Of the county court The
western portion of the county COM
prises the large irrigation section of
the county and the new wheat belt
of the county, and is the most pop
ulOus section Of the county, Through
out this section the sentiment is unan-
imous against the construction of any
new county buildings at this time.

Railroad Contractors Report Short.
age Of Lahojers
ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND WANTED
TO WORK ON THE NEW ROADS
PROJECTED FOR THE NORTH
WESTERN COUNTRY.

One hundred thousand men are
| needed for railroad construction work
and the lines building new road are
unable to find them. Every road in
the northwest is short of laborers, but
the same condition prevails through
out the country, and it is impossible
to draw upon any section to secure
men for work here
The Northern Pacific is employing
10000 men in construction work west
of Billings and could use several thou
sand more if they could be secured
When the Great Northern begins active
construction work on it's line east from
New Westminster to meet the road
building west from Midway, the same
number Of men could be employed in
southern British Columbia.
Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Of
ficials are practically ready for the
commencement Of construction work.
When the work is under way in this
state, at least 10000 men will be want
ed They will be distributed at points
Union Pacific contractors will need
at least 1000 men for the extension to
Seattle, and the construction of ter
minals in Seattle and Tacoma. There
is a shortage of laborers for smaller
railroad enterprises, and the Hartman
program in Oregon will call for extra
help.
Roughly computed, railroad men fig
ure that at least 10000 laborers are
needed in this state and British Co
lumbia on lines either now under con-
struction or about to be commenced.
This means that the labor shortage in
construction work elsewhere in the
United States is Approximately 10000.
None of the contractors has sug-
gested a way out of the present labor
shortage. In other branches of indus
try employing common labor there is
already a shortage that shows men
cannot be drafted from that direction.
Hill contractors, first in the field,
have collected most of the men they
need and are in better position than
the lines which are yet to assemble
their forces. Moreover, the Hill lines
will not need a force as long as the
other roads and will not feel the labor
shortage as keenly as the others.

AMERICAN MANUFACTURES
Are Wanted Badly by the German
People
DECLARATION MADE BY CONSUL 0zMUN
GERMANS HAVE NOT BEEN sUc-
cEssFUL IN INITIATING GOODS
OF THIS COUNTRY.
DECLARATION MADE BY CONSUL 0zMUN

WASHINGTON, D. c., June T.
Consul Ozmun, of Stuttgart Germany
has sent an able presentation of the
German trade situation and the in
PRODUCTION of American manufactures
in that country. Our boots and shoes
find favor, owing to their superior style
and finish, which the Germans have
not been successful in initiating, as
they have with stoves and machinery.
German manufacturers have not only
supplied themselves with American
shoe machinery and imported Ameri-
can foremen to supervise the shapes
and see to the proper putting together
Of the shoes, so that the form and
workmanship will appear like that of
the American article, but they are now
actually importing in great quantities
the American dressed leather. But,
somehow, while the best German shoes
have improved, they still do not have
the chic" appearance Of the Ameri-
can article. The German manufac-
turers will not incur the great outlay
necessary to have a large number of
lasts and employ experts to study
new and catching designs. The
American manufacturer spend large
sums in that direction willingly, for he
knows that success there means great
sales. There are really no Compel
itors, so far as design is concern
ed, with the American shoes. The
total exports of shoes from the United
States to all countries shows the enor-
nous increase from $4,702,0 900 in the
first eight months of 1904, to $3.50 in
the same period last year. American
leather exports to Germany were also
greatly increased.
Consul Ozmun also states that Eu-
ropean manufacturers anticipate an in
vasion of their markets by the auto
mobile manufacturers of the United
States, in which he forecasts great
success if the Americans do not ship
built machines, as was done
during the bicycle era, to our per-
manent detriment.

OLYMPIA, Wash, June THE at

the state school superintendent, holds
that the law regarding a school CEN

opinion says that while no penalty at
taches for failure to carry out this
provision the school authorities have
ample power to control the taking of
the census.
The attorney general also holds that
the school code must be accepted as
the law on school matters unless it
can be shown that it is different from
the general statutes. In the matter of
the consolidation of the school dis
tricts. the attorney general holds that
the law on this subject in the school
code refers to a formation of union

ton of school districts is covered bv

Oregon Owners Do Not Want to
Pay Range Tax
FOR The BLUE MOUNTAIN RESERVE
FEDERAL COURT HAS THROWN
WHOLE SUBJECT OF REGU-
LATION IN THE AIR.

Because they do not wish to pa,
the government $4,000 for range il
the Blue mountains which has no
been allotted and will be used in com
mon, the Umatilla county sheepmei
have petitioned to have the reserv,
tax left off this year, says the Eas
Oregonian
Under the rules of the department
all sheep allowed within the Blue
mountain reserve this summer must
| be paid for by the owners at the rate
! of cents per head. AS 100000 sheer
have been admitted from Umatilla
Morrow and Gillian counties this
means the payment of $4,000 to the
government for range that has been
free in the past.
Were the Blue mountain reserve al
lotted among the sheepmen, as is the
Wenaha, the growers say they would
have no objection to the tax. Six
cents per head is charged in the We
naha reserve, and no remonstrance
has been made against the same. But
in the Blue mountain reserve the
range will be used in common and
each man will be forced to rustic for
grass the same as in the past. Such
being the case, the sheepmen look up
on the government tax as paying
something for nothing and in the ma
ture of graft.
The remonstrance against the graz
ing tax has been sent to the depart
ment by Secretary Smythe, of the
Umatilla County association. Prompt
action upon the same was requested,
as the reserve tax is payable by June
Is
Another reason why the sheepmen
ask that the tax be omitted this year
is the uncertainty created by the re-
cent decision Of the federal court at
North Yakima. The decision held that
the department officials being exec
utive and legislative officers, have no
power to make rules, and consequent
ly had no right to make regulations
for the use Of the reserves. Should
this decision be sustained by the high |
err federal courts, the governments |
entire program concerning the use of
the reserve will have to be abandon
ed.
