need not be out of work II he is will
ing to work at prices ranging from
$2.25 to $2.75 per day. If he desires
to go to Alaska he can readily obtain
81 day more than the figures quoted.
The wages named are for common
laborers. Skilled help, such as bridge
men, spikers, carpenters, ETC., can
command a much higher scale of
wages. In the employment agencies
the fee for these positions has been
reduced to so cents and II a man has
not the money It will not cost him one
cent to secure work. Furthermore,
he will be given free transportation
to the scene of his labors and will be
furnished with good board at reason
able rates.
Such is the condition of the labor
market in Portland today, according
to statements given out by employ
rhent agents and railroad contractors.
Millmen and ,timber-men are also
complaining OF scarcity Of help and
the wages offered to men are far
higher than they have been In recent
years.

SELECT GOOD SEED.
Government Has just Completed Val
liable Experiments.

J. w. T. Duvel. of the federal bu-
reau of plant industry, who has con-
cluded a series of exhaustive investi-
cations into the seed corn problem
announces these conclusion. says the
Livestock World:
Approximately 100000 bushels OF
corn are required for seed every year
in the United States.
The yield depends largely on the
vitality of the seed planted.
Make your own terminating box
and test the vitality of every ear OF
corn before planting.
The time required for individual
ear tests is very little; 12 or Is ears
will furnish enough seed to plant one
acre.
Count the sprouts very carefully
any ear failing to show 100 per CEN
of good sprouts should be rejected.
OF 3322 ears tested. 1906, or NOR,
than one-half were unfit for seed
These samples were taken from ears
picked for seed by good, careful far.
mers. and are evidently much above
the average.
Field tests have shown that seed oI
strong vitality will produce the larg'
est yield of corn.
Granting that the samples tested
are representative of the present sup.
ply of seed corn. the testing of every
ear and the subsequent rejection OF
poor ears will increase the stand 1871
per cent.
An increased stand of 1871 per cent
would mean an increased annual yield
of 29S.140,695 bushels, with a value
of S10O,739.912.91, calculated on the
average yield and price for the last
10 years.
Just think of 1t! Had these pre-
cautions been taken the American
Germ grower would have been annual
ly in receipt of 100 million dollars
more money that he is at present
pocketing. Isn't the seed question
worth considering?

SETTLERS FLOCKING IN.
Irrigation Development in the Vicinity
of Lewiston.

Lewiston, May 15.-Main canals six
miles long. with IA miles of laterals,
are included in the Crow Creek sys-
TEN, upon which work has recently
been started. The dam, originally in
tended to be 35 feet high, will be in
creased to 40 feet. Both the canal
system and the dam are expected to
be finished by October l.
Water rights are all sold, and the
flow will be sufficient this year to ir-
rigate 1000 acres. There is to be in
cluded under the system $500 acres.
Bromus grass, oats, Canadian peas
and sugar beets will be planted on a
tract of 100 acres, being prepared
under the direction of a Mr.. Perkins
The altitude is 5000 feet. 1t is be-
lieved that sugar beets will thrive
there and that the Canadian peas will
do as we'll as in Colorado.
Nebraska interests in the Wilt
Horse system are represented by w
E. Reew and John Horst, Of Madison
Neb., who with Mr.. Perkins recent!
went over the land that will come
under that system, and expressed
themselves much pleased with thu
prospect. Construction of the WilC
Horse project has been agreed upon
Work will begin as soon as men anC
teams can be secured. Water from
the 4O-foot reservoir in contemplation
on this project will be backed up tive
and three-fourth miles, and will irri
gate 1000 acres of land.
Many new settlers are going int
the Camas Prairie section. All lands
on the prairie have been taken up
and a great portion of it will be occu
pied and farmed this year. The re
gion is showing a fine stand of native
grass. The wagon road from Soldier
to Gooding will be completed in 81
days.

4 SHOCK AND A BLAZE.
"Dcstruction of San Francisco" Meets
With Bad Luck.

While making preparations to draw
their show to close yesterday after
noon. Messrs. Read and Corbin, of
the Destruction cf San Francisco"
had an experience they will not forget
soon. In the front of the room there
is an iron pillar with a base of similar
material. During the afternoon Mr.
Read CHANGED to lean against the
pillar. while at the same time his foot
rested on the base. Instantly he re-
ceived shock that nearly floored
him. Just how the pole became
charged is not known, but it is pre-
sumed 1t became connected with the
electric wires in some manner.
About the same time the riostadt of
the kinetcsccpe became afire and it
was necessary to carry the machine to
the street to eXtinguish the flames
In doing so the picture throwing ma
chine was badly damaged and 1t was
necessary to close the show.

Complains of Thcater Building.

The Fast Oregonian is in receipt OF
a letter from a regular patron of Fra
ger theater. censuring the owners for
not repairing it and making it first
class place of amusement in every
way. Public sentiment is very strong
in favor of a new and larger theater
building and as Pendleton is an excel
lent thaater town, it is possible that
some effort will be made to erect a
modern theater building. Several
projects have been talked of during
the past year looking toward new
building and it is hoped that some OF
them may take form before the thea
ter season opens again.
