cowboy, made the discovery which reg.
istered itself as Cripple Creek. For
the past ten years Colorado has led

annually than any other community.

gave Bonaparte for the twelve States
comprising the Louisiana province.

cost of Lewis and ClnlE's and of Pixies

Here is where Pixies personality
touches the particular stream if des-

the Spaniards at Santa F7e in 1907,
Pike met James Pur-.cy an American
trapper and adventwer, whom peril
from the Indians and the rtgors of The
wilderness drove into that town short
~ before Pike reached It, and who
remained there for years. ''He as

LABOR SHORTAGE
FACES FARMERS
Combined Harvester May
Solve Difficulty Before
Ranchers of State

PORTLAND, Ore, June 24.-The
farmers of the Northwest will face
the worst labor famine of years within
the next few months, unless all signs
fail, though now they do not seem to
realize the seriouness of the situation,
says the Telegram.
The wheat crop of the three
States -Oregon, Washington and Ida
ho-thls year will fall but little short
of 60, 200, 900 bushels according to the
most reliable forecasts available, and
how to harvest it is a problem that
will be difficult to solve.
Kansas has sent out her perennial cry
for help, for the Sunfower state will
harvest $1,000, 900 bushels of wheat
this season. and faces shortage Of
25, 900 harvest hands. The gravity of
the situation there does not approach
the crisis coming in the Northwest
when harvest time arrives, for Kan
sas has a vastly greater contiguous
population to draw on for help, and
is not in the midst of a tremendous
industrial boom, as is this part of the
country.
The unprecedented demand for labor
on railroad construction work, irriga-
ton development and building opera
tions in the Northwest was aptly l.
Illustrated by a scene within the block
intersected by Second street north and
Burnside street this morning. At
about dozen employment Offices
there were 287 men, either inside the
Offices, filling out applications or
reading the bulletin boards. This
was at nine o'clock. Within half an
hour the crowd had melted away to
less than so.
In the crowd were old men the boys,
mechanics, carpenters, painters, en-
gineers, firemen, loggers, walters,
cooks and porters. There were men
of all colors and nations, and they got
work easily save where skilled labor
was demanded.
Pullman herald. [volume] (Pullman, W.T. [Wash.]) 1888-1989, 1906-06-30

In connection with the above extract
from the Spokesman-Review we find
that the farmers as rule are max
ing preparations to use the combined
harvester this year as means of
solving the hired help problem, as they
take but four men to operate, while
headers and threshers take as high as
from ten to 40 men to keep them 60
ing Stockton, CAL, is the home of
two factories that make these ma
chimes, the Holt, and Haines Houser,
and both these factories are being
rushed night and day to supply the
great demand, and it is reported that
but for these machines large portion
of the crop of the Inland Empire would
not be harvested this year.
