HIGH WAGES
FOR PICKERS
Hop Growers Offer Best
Prices Known In II
Years

PORTLAND, Aug. 31.-Krebs broth
in Portland this week, says the Ore
gOnian, offer the highest price for
pickers ever paid within the last II
years-$1.10 a hundred pounds. The
rate agreed upon by the hop-pickers
of the state has been 81 a hundred
pounds, but Kreb@ brothers go them
10 cents better, even though prices
for hops are anything but encouraging
this season.
I'VE propose to start a train of 10
passenger coaches loaded with pickers
for our Independence yards Sat-
urday morning" said Conrad Krebs
today I'VE desire to start in picking
bright and early Monday morning of
next week. and it will take some little
time for the pickers to get their tent
equipages ready for business after
they arrive on the grounds
Many Portland families are getting
ready for the annual outing which in
wolves profit instead of expense, and
hop-growers are confident of getting
all the pickers they need. Toward the
last of the week up-river boats will be
crowded with people of all ages and
both sexes on their way to the vari-
Gus yards along the Willamette river
The outing is expected to extend over
period of three weeks, as the crop is
heavy, and when the earlier yards are
picked the workers can move to those
which rpen later.
The weather of the past few days
has been considered favorable to
! yards where pest has not obtained g
! foothold but in infected yards thu
crop IS likely to be damaged should
! the moist weather continue much
| longer, according to growers spoker
with this morning. Damaged yards are
not likely to be picked, as the outlook
for prices is not favorable to second
grades.

CONGRESSMEN
co TO PANAMA

WASHINGTON, Aug. 31.-An ex-
animation on the ground Of the esti-
mates for, the appropriations for con-
tinuing work on the Panama canal.
submitted by Secretary Taft for the
fiscal year of 1909, is to be made by
members of the next congress who will
have in charge the preparation of the
sundry civil bill, in which the appro-
priation for the canal is Incorporated.
The proposed visit is the outcome OF
a suggestion from Representative
James A. Tawney of Minnesota, chair
in the last congress. who was at the
isthmus following the adjournment
last March, He believes it will be to
the best interests of the service, as
well as to those directly and indirectly
in charge of the administration of the
forces at work there if the members of
the appropriations committee having
in charge the preparation of the sun
dry civil bill go to the isthmus with
the estimates for the next fiscal year
and consider them carefully with the
officials having supervision of expendi
lures for all kinds of work being done.
The suggestion has met with hear
ty response from those identified with
the commissions work, who believe
that a great deal of good will result
from a heart-to-heart talk between
the congressman who prepare the ap-
preparation and the officials who spend
it, and that it will clear away in ad-
vance any misapprehensions or mis-
understandings that may exist as to
the justness and propriety of allotting
the money estimated to be necessary
for the years worS.

Mr.. Harbaugh states there are mil
lions of young bass now in the land

rapidly and within a short time all
these young fish wM perish unless

BRIDGE WORK
CONSTRUCTION

With the erection of the derrick on
the trestle work, the last of the pre-
Iiminary work on the center or draw
pier of the Clearwater bridge, will be
finished and excavation for the pier
Will begin early next week. The COM
pany has been building the trestle
work and cofferdam during the last
month and today they began erecting
the derrick which will be used in con-
structing the pier. This work will be
finished Monday and the steam pumps
Will be started Tuesday or Wednes-
day to empty the caisson preliminary
to beginning the excavation.
This will be done in about u hours
and then will begin the real work of
Building the pier. About II feet of
water now stands in the caissen and
the outer or protection crib.
All of the excavation will be done
by hand and this work cannot be ap-
proximated, as to time, because OF the
uncertain character of the rocky bed
of Che river. A rough, but wholly un-
certain estimate as to the depth to bed
rock has been made and this is placed
at Is feet below the bed of the river.
Bed rock may be found in 10 feet or it
may be necessary to dig to a depth of
80 Feet.
On pier No. the south wall of the
pier rests on bed rock at a depth of 10
feet, while the north side goes down
20 feet farther.
A gasoline engine is now at the
docks and it will be set up next week
to run the concrete mixer which Is
also new one, having been shipped
from Portland. Roughly estimated it
is said that the. pier setting will be
built in six weeks, while the concete
structure will be built in two weeks
after the water level is reached.
Twenty-Five men are now employed
on the work, and little can be seen
now which shows that the men have
been working almost a month. but
they have been doing the necessary
work of preparation, such as building
the cofferdam and constructing the
trestle work.
The track laying gang has been
augmented and more than a mile a
day has been laid during the past
| week. The track is now laid to a
point with 25 miles of Lewiston and II
the present speed is maintained the
gang will reach the bridge site in 20
days. They now have 55 men at work.
all of them English speaking and cap
able of operating their part OF the ma
chine. The. track should reach the
bridge site before the Interstate fair
is held SO that there is bare possi-
bilitv that the Portland excursion can
be run during that week. After the
pier is constructed it will require
: about IA weeks to build the bridge
80 that there is little likelihood of run
ming trains directly from Lewiston un-
! til mid-winter.

TWO WOMEN
BUT ONE ESTATE

SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 31.-A fight
by Joseph Harvey, the well-known
poolroom man, is to be instituted in
the local courts, with two women as
the opposing contestants. The right
of Mrs. Louise Harvey to the widows
share of the late sporting mans es-
tate is disputed by Mrs. Jane Harvey
the intimate friend of the late Mrs.
Charles Fair. Mrs. Jane Harvey claims
that she was the first wife of Joseph
Harvey; that there never was a di-
vorce. and that she is legally entitled
to a share in the estate which was
bequeathed to Mrs. Louise Harvey.
In a luxurious fiat at 730 Franklin
street is Mrs. Louise Harvey, wearing
widows weeds for her husband, who
died scarcely 10 days ago.
In an equally comfortable home at
1856 Ellis street is Mrs. Jane Harvey.
She says:
Il was the wife of Joseph Harvey
for IA years. There was no divorce
There was only a separation. This
woman, the second wife of Mr.. Harvey
supplants me in his affections while
was in Europe. He was legally mar
ried to her. it is true, but I have
, rights, and / shall assert them"
Mrs. Jane Harvey, who claims to bt
the first wife of the late sporting man
first met Joseph Harvey in 1890. Al
that time Charles Fair and his wife
were alive. and Harvey's friendliness
with the late millionaire was marked
by a corresponding intimacy between
Mrs. Harvey and Mrs. Fair. When in
Harvey fell heir to Mrs. Fairs mag
nificent Jewels which she still possess
ses.

GREAT DISPLAY
IN FORESTRY
Fair Management Adding
to Exhibits In All
Departments

G.. A. Manning, in charge of the col
lection of the Nez Perce county ex-
hibit for the Lewiston Charleston fair,
will leave in the morning for points
on Craig mountain, where he will visit
the saw mills to secure lumber ex-
hibt for the coming exhibition.
Mr.. Manning has made five tripS
throughout the county and reports an
sections interested in securing the best
possible collection OF the county's
products.
The present trip will be for the ex-
press purpose of collecting the lumber
exhibit, but all features Of the fair
will be looked after and Mr.. Man
ming expects to secure the assurance
from stockmen to bring their herds as
early as Friday or Saturday before the
opening of the fair in order that the
distribution of the stalls can be made
before the opening day.
The lumber men have entered into
the collection of the forestry exhibit
with much enthusiasm and during the
present trip Mr.. Manning will arrange
with each mill what part of the ex-
hibit is desired from that particular
plant.
1t is the purpose of the fair manage
ment to show the lumber in it's finish
| ed condition as we'll as cuts from the
butts of the logs, showing the grain
of the wood and size of the timber
| grown in Nez Perce county.
/ All varetia of timber will be se-
| cured and in making the collection
| this year it is the purpose of Major
Manning to secure the nucleus for
mammoth timber exhibit to be added
to each year and which may become
an important feature in the advertise
ments of the county's resources In the
interim between fairs. -s.-,

Special to Evening Teller.
KENDRICK, Aug. 31.-The Ken
drick Milling company is now filling
5000 sacks of flour for export trade,
this shipment being the last they will
sack before they begin grinding the
new crop. The low stage of the water
at this season of the year makes 1t
impossible for the mill to run, but with
the fall rains near at hand the mill
will begin on the 1907 crop. They ex-
pect to pass the record of last year by
several thousand bushels. In 12
months the mill grinds almost a quar-
ter of million bushels of wheat, and
this record should be easily passed
next year with the present facilities.
Most of the output of the mill goes
to the Orient, China being the chief
buyer. The demand continues and the
mill can divert it's entire output to the
Orient if it so desires,

GOVERNMENT is
But A MOCKERY
Morocco In Control of
Bandits and Drifting to
/ Anarchy

PARIS, Aug. Silt is said by for
eign officials in Tangier that Morocco
is fast drifting toward anarchy. Mu-
talie Hafitz is in control of one region i"
Reisuli the bandit, reigns supreme in
his territory, and the sultan has grave
doubts of the loyalty of his army.
Government in Morocco today is but
mockery. There would be revolts in
all the coast towns were it not for the
presence of the foreign warships, and
there is no guarantee that even these
towns may escape much longer from
the fury of the natives.
At Raibat the foreigners are in fear
of an invasion of tribesmen, and at
other towns foreigners dare not ven
ture outside the walls. No change is
reported in the situation at Casa
Blanca today.
NJ. Clemenceau will direct all moves
of the government in Morocco. The
Journal des Debats, speaking of the
effect of NJ. Clemenceau's return on
the Moroccan situation, says:
He knows the sentiments of the
sovereigns and the disposition of the
| chancellors. He ought to know that
politics today not only are most un-
certain, but also most costly, and that
calmness and conservatism are essen
| tial'
That Spain will not become very
aggressive in Morocco unless her
troops are directly attacked is the gen.
eral opinion.
