well, in the first place, no one can
hire the horse without hiring the har-
ness, and they can't hire horse and

And what else?" asked the old man,
who was still little puzzled.

iosiHs GROUND IN the convention. While
some of the more radical talk eight"
and make unreasonable claims, the
majority of the delegates elected upon
so-called insurgent platform are not
taking any such stand. Sarles, Mar.
shall and GrOnna are practically Ger.
tain of nomination.
I size things up from interviews
with dozen or more prominent men
who have been elected upon the in.
surgent ticket as delegates to the con-
vention, that they are most heartily
ashamed of their leaders. Many of the
delegates who were expected to Oh.

expressed their intention of standing
by him in the convention and there
seems to be feeling among them

at first prominent factor in the cam
paign. These delegates express their
disgust with Winship, Spalding, De-
vine and Murphy in no unmistakable
manner.
A nervous individual was noticed
wandering around the halls at the
Gladstone last evening and when he
put the question to one of the dele
gates, Where can l find Mr.. Spald-
ing general laugh went up among
the boys who heard it. Some one
asked, "Who is this Spalding you are
looking for?" and the nervous individ
ual moved on apparently glad to seek
safety in fight. This is the first in
stance l have noted where any one
was looking for Mr.. Spalding lat this
convention at least).
The probable candidate for governor
on the insurgept ticket, II such ticket
exists, will be Frank Lynch of Cassel-
ton. 1t is understood that compli-
mentary ballot is to be given him as
he has many friends and the con-
fidence of the insurgent following. M.
N. johnson will be the insurgent can
didate for temporary chairman.
H. c. Chambers of Kidder county
was conspicuous today wearing the
only independent" badge worn by a
delegate at the convention. Mr.. Cham
bers has blue-penciled the words Gin

wears It with much show of satfsfac-
ton.
This afternoon the jamestown fair
association will hold the race matinee
mentioned in these dispatches, and a
large attendance is expected. A ball

The convention will be called to
order tomorrow morning at II o'clock .
by Chairman Hanna, when the work
OF placing names in nomination will
be taken up at once. Every detail for
tomorrow seems we'll carried out and
the city is certainly taking excellent
care of it's guests.
Hon. Jud LaMoure and son, Ed, are
at the Gladstone and in close touch
with the inside workings of the con-

had cards printed designating their

decorate the doors and walls. bearing
the words Headquarters of this or

A Flexible Futunc.

Marshall P. Wilder tells of young
man in Wilkesbarre who had aspira-
tons to the hand of daughter of one
OF the wealthiest men in that place.
Recently the hopeful one had an in
terview with the father for the purpose
of laying the matter before him.
Well growled the old man, what
| most desire to know is. what pre-
paration have you made for the flu
ture?"
OH" exclaimed the sutton. in a con-
tident and obliging tone. II am
Presbyterian; but, if that denomina-
ton doesn't meet with your approval,
am quite willing to change"
Il had no hot water for shaving at
the little country hotel and according
ly heated some in a paper bag"
Heated hot water in paper bago"
Sure"
How can that be done?'
You take stout paper bag-an en-
velope will do as well-fill it with wa
ter and hold it over gas fame or
lamp. The water heats rapidly. The
paper doesn't burn because it is wet,
and wet paper is singularly tough
and noncombustible substance. Many
and many time have | heated over
the gas jet an envelope or paper bag
OF hot water for my shaving and not
once have | had an accident"

SNAP SHOTS.

Everything points to the indis.
putable fact that the insurgents are
losing ground in the convention. While

majority of the delegates elected upon

taking any such stand. Sarles, Mar.

.ApricOts at Wenatchee.

Talk about apricots from down
south, if you could see what can be
grown in the shape OF this fruit in the
Wenatchee valley, Washington, you
would say that no other country was
in It in this respect, says the Pacific
Homestead. The Homestead knows
that the Wenatchee land is most suit
able for apricots for a sample of the
fruit was left at its office recently by
Mrs. T. c. Davidson, who has a small
orchard near the town of that name.
The apricots were large and of delic
ious flavor and rich color While on
the apricot subject we quote the fol-
lowing from the California Fruit
grower of recent date: "Apricots ara
so very scarce this year and selling at
such high prices that the price of pits
is booming. Thirty dollars and up to
$35 a ton has ben paid for apricot
pits. There will be but very few cars
of kernels to be had this year, one
dealer estimating a product of from
seven to eight cars. with present val
ues in the neighborhood of 12ia
cents per pound and liable to go
higher"

LABOR PROBLEMS OF YAKIMA
All Industries Are Confronted With
Shortage of Helm.

l.aboring men are wanted badly to
complete the grading on the North
Yakima & Valley railway. says the
Yakima Republic. The work will be
completed in two Weeks If help can
be secured but with the coming on OF

and the haying season, it looks as il

ing there and the wages paid are the
highest in the history of the north
west for that class af-labor. The men
are receiving $3.50 per day and are
charged $3.50 per week for board
At the present time all classes of
industry are feeling the need of labor
In the Yakima valley. Farm help Is
wanted more than any other kind, still
men can find work at almost anything
they are looking for. Farm hands are
paid from S35 to $40 per month and
board. This fact is what "stumps"
the eastern farmer when he first
comes to Yakima to make his home.
He was not used to such wages in the
eastern states and 1t is some time
before he can see the necessity of pay
ing them here.
The beginning of the wheat harvest
in eastern Washington has taken all
the surplus floating population there
for the time being. High wages have
been paid, but it is reported that
there is such an influx of wage-earn-
ers to the wheat fields this season that
wages have been reduced. This will
probably bring some of the men to
the Yakima valley. Just now they are
badly needed in the hayfields, where
they are paid 81 a day and board.
All the available men who want to
work are picked up on the streets of
the city and hustled off to the farms
as fast ae they come in. Some of the
farmers have been delayed consider
ably by the scarcity of white help and
have been using Japs. but the latter
are scarce at present
with the near approach of the hop,
picking season It is feared that there
VIII be a shortage of help that NAV
interfere seriously with the harvesting
of the crop. With the establishment
of the canning plant here many peo-
pie who used to go into the harvest
flelds Will find work at home. The
cannery. it is said, will probably en-
ploy several hundred young people
during August and September and will
draw mostly from the class that for
merly went into the hopyards. The
Indians are gradually dwindling in
numbers each year. so far as hop
picking is concerned. With all these
things to be considered, the outlook
for help in the fields and orchards in
the Yakima valley this fall is not very
encouraging.
