SCARCITY OF RANCH WORKERS.
Due Mainly to Activity I'm Railroad
Building.

That there is a scarcity of men for
ranch work is declared by j. c..
Spoonemore, the employment agent.
According to Mr.. Spoonemore, he has
been unable to secure men for several
farmers who have applied to him re-
Gently. The men have been wanted
mainly for plowing, though some are
needed for other farm work. In
some instances s1.25 per day has been
paid, whereas the usual rate has been
$40 per month. Dave Nelson recent
ly employed some men offering them
s1.25 per day from now until harvest
time. Others have offered the same
rate for shorter periods. =
According to Mr.. Spoonemore there
are plenty of men for work in the
city, but scarcity of farm hands.
This he attributes mainly to the large
amount of railroad work now in
progress in various parts of the north
west.

Washington, April 1S.-The presi-
dent to sent a message to congress
urging remedial legislation in the
matter of immunity to persons and
corporations.
The interstate commerce commits
sion is also advocating the passage Of
a law granting the right of appeal to
the government in criminal cases,
wherein the defendant has not yet
been actually put on trial on the
merits of his case.
These recommendations grow out
of the recent decision of Judge Hum
phrey of the federal court in Chicago,
in the beef trust cases, whose inter-
pretation of the will of congress, the
president declares comes miserably
near making the law a farce. 4.

SIX ENGINES BURN
IN UMAT|lLA FIRE
o. II. & N. ROUNDHOUSE
WAS DESTROYED
Fire Supposed to Have Caught From
oil Burning Locomotive In the
ROunhhouse - Loss Estimated Mt
S1OO.OOO-One Engine Run Out OF
the Flames by Night Hostler-Oil
Tanks Caused Terrific Blaze.

Fire which Is supposed to have
originated in an oil-burning engine,
DESTROYED the o. R. & N. roundhouse
and six locomotives at Umatilla at 10
o'clock last night.
The roundhouse building was so
dry and there was so much oil on the
floor that the entire structure was
burned to the ground within Is min
utes and the efforts of the local fire
department We're unavailing in saving
any portion of the roundhouse, al
though the work of the department
saved adjacent buildings from de-
struction.
Five of the large new passenger en-
gines were totally destroyed and one
small work train engine, No. 46, was
burned almost beyond repair.
The passenger engines burned were
1872 and 1877, oil burners, and 191 and
1874, coal burners, all Of the Portland
division, and 1876, coal burner, of the
La Grande division, and 46 in work
train service. Engine S4, of the Spo-
kane passenger service, was run out
of the burning building by the night
hostler. and saved.
The oil tanks of the oil burners
We're partly filled with oil and caused
frightful fire, when they ignited. 1t
seemed for time that the entire town
was doomed to certain destruction,
but there was no wind and the fire
did not spread.
The boilers of the big engines are
standing on the wheels, stripped of
every combustible part and are ruin
ed beyond any hope of repair It is
thought.
The roundhouse was one Of the old
est and largest on the o. r. & N. sys-
tenn and besides the engines, contain
ed large amount of engine supplies
and machinery belonging to the shops
which were located in one end of the
building.

TRACE OF BURGLAR FOUND.
Sold Knives and Pistols Under Mar
shars Nose at Umatilla.

While at Umatilla yesterday Sher-
iff Taylor found a trace of the burg
lar who robbed the Sharon & Ed
dings store Saturday night.
On Monday a large, dark complect-
ed man was in Umatilla and sold
number of the knives and several pis-
tolls that had been taken from the
store. They had been sold to parties
there under the very nose of the mar
shall, although that official had been
notified of the robbery promptly and
asked to lookout for anyone disposing
of such articles. AS the peddler had
left Umatilla before the arrival of the
sheriff It was too late to catch him.
and his capture will now be difficult.

headquarters are appalling and most
all are verified.

take bodies to be buried at sea. So
many so mutilated - is impossible to
care for them ashore. The cities
across the bay suffered, being Sc
verely shaken.
The suburban departments are
fighting many fires.

streets the fronts of buildings fell in
to the street, exposing their interiors
to view. At $3.50 the dome of the

floors. Not window is left.
Four entire blocks along Market
