LOOK q FOB HIM

Oakland is the scene of another
strange crime. A young woman, a
member of a good family, prominent
in church circles, of a retiring, modest
nature, has confessed to embezzlemenr
of the funds of the postoffce where
she was working to the amount of
$1,000. That part alone is not strange.
But it has developed that not one cent
of all that money did she keep for her
self. All of it went to a man with
whom she was infatuated, and for
whom she was willing to sacrifice the
things that are priceless.
The man-at least he is made in
mans image-in the case, is a printer.
He has a home where a wife and chill
dren are now trying in dazed, blinded
fashion, to study out just what 1T all
means. He urged the girl on to her
dishonor. The fruits of her wrongdo-
ing were to be his. For her the ashes.
The girl will probably be punished.
Possibly she deserves to be. But one
need not be esteemed maudlin because
be ventures to feel some sympathy for
the girl whose infatuation led her so
far.
The particular scoundrel in the case
is the man. The papers say that he IS
supposed to be somewhere in Nevada,
down in the gold camps perhaps, where
he came when he began to fear that the
monstrous structure Of his wrongdolng
was ready to topple and fall. HIS
name is Baker. His manner is super
cilious and his esteem of himself is
vast. We go into these details because
we have an idea that if the men OF
Nevada should happen upon the scoun-
drel who is responsible for the guilt OF
a girl, things would not be pleasant for
him. The men of the mining camps
may have some big rough corners here
and there, but r~ascality such as that OF
Bakers finds no place among them.
And they are keenly intolerant of any
BODY who seeks refuge among them
after having connived at being a
sccoundrel.-Reno Gazette.

WORK GOES A-BEGGING
Uncle Sam has Hard Time Getting
Laborers in the West

How to get men to do the work is
one of the most serious problems that
the engineers of the reclamation serv-
ice have to confront, says the Daily
Mining Record. Time was when men
sometimes wen begging in the ARID
west; now it is the work that goes
a-begging. Several contractors en-
gagged IN government projects have al
ready failed because of their inability
to secure the services of a sufficient
number of workmen, and others are on
the verge Of failure for the same rea-
son. 1t is equally difficult to find com
petent sub-contractors and foremen.
When contractors are unable to full
fill their contracts, it becomes neces-
sary for the reclamation service to step
in and push the work by paying larger
wages than the contractors can. But
even with the power to offer phenome.
nally good wages as an inducement, the
agents of the government are not al
ways successful in obtaining a follow
ing.
Laborers are not only few and far
between in those regions of the west
where reclamation projects are build
ing; they are also nightly independ-
ent. Little they seem to care whether
they stay OF a job or not. The essen
tial thing is to keep moving. The
germ of unrest gets in its deadly work
before most of them even reach the
reclamation works. Carload after car
load of laborers has been started for
the west and ever effort made to de-
liver the men, but in spite of the ut
most vigilance on the part of those
who undertake to transport them, many
of the men succeed in getting away
before their destination is reached.
They have enjoyed their little outing
and the chance it gave them to see the
country, but they are not really hank
ering for the work. Very few stay with
the job for any length of time or APP
pear to take any interest in it.
Strange as it may seem, the eight
hour limitation on work is a factor in
the laborers' discomfort. During the
long, hot days IN the arid plains, the
mar who is exercising moderately out
in the sun, with his attention dis
tracted from the heat, fares much
more comformtably than the n who
swelters lazily in the crowded bunk
house with nothing to think of but his
own discomfort. In the absence of all
amusements, the thought of drink be-
comes paramount during those long
hours of enforced idleness, and in spite
of every reasonable precaution, bad
liquor gets into every camp. Many of
the best workmen insist that, under
these conditions, they would prefer to
work longer hours and keep occupied
except during the time needed for eat
ing and sleeping.
