CONTRACTORS
Are PUZZLED
Cannot Secure Men to Per-
form Labor.
WORK WILL Be DELAYED
And Some May be Entirely
Abandoned.
Skilled Labor Is Hard to Secure
aud a Decided Raise In Wages
Can be Expected.

In almost every branch of busi-
ness in the city there is great
scarcity of labor and it is feared
that much OF the work planned for
spGsng and summer will be either
delayed in completion on abandon-
| eG.
The large amount of building
that is being done at present gives
employment for a large number of
carpenters. Over one hundred
houses are now under construction
| in the city and it is with difficulty
that the contractors can secure car
penters to carry on the work. One
contractor who is building q num-
Der OF. dwellings, at this time states
that on account of the scarcity OF
carpenters and common laboaers
he has heen compelled to turn down
a numDer of contracts which under
ordinary circumstances it would be
easy for him to fill. The work on
his present contracts is being Sc
riously delayed by the scarcity of
labor.
1t is estimated that this year
will be a record breaker in the
construction of buildings of all
sorts and during the next two
months the demand for carpenters,
b1icklayers, other classes of skilled
labor and common labor will be
increased. Unless conditions change
to very large extent within that
time prices paid for the various
forms OF labor will reach top
Notch mark.
In all Of the shops, at all OF
the railroads, at the stone quar-
ries and IN other places where
large numbers of men are employee
the officials have found it prac-
tically impossible to secure the full
quota of men Notwithstanding the
fact that tempting wages are Of
fered. The scarcity of labor in
this city has been the cause OF
bringing many families here and
the surrounding towns and country
are expected to furnish many

PEARLS FROM sULU SEA.
Most Beautiful Of This Particular Gem
10 Found There.

Many and beautiful pearls are found
In the Sulu sea and the possibilities Of
that body of water seem unlimited.
The greatest pearl ever claimed from
the sea in the Sulu archipelago was re-
Gently marketed in Singapore for CO.,
900 pesos, nearly 100000. 1t Is the
size Of small marble, perfectly round
and of perfect color. The gem was
found by a poor Moro fisherman and
was promptly seized by the sultan Of
Sulu. Then Gov. Steever interfered
and took the part of the poor fisher
man. Under the old Moro law, in
force when the American troops first
took charge of Jolo, all pearls Of un-
usual size must be sent to the sultan,
who in return made the finder pres
ent." The only alternative the finder
of a large pearl had was to sell his
treasure privately to the pearl traders.
But to do so placed the finders life
in jeopardy, for II the trader could not
buy the gem at his own price he could
report the matter to the sultan, who
had the power to seize the finder and
execute him. Under American rule,
however, this law has been abolished
The finder of this $4,000 pearl, know
ing this fact when his find was seized
by the sultan, speedily made a trip to
Jolo and reported the matter to Gov.
Steever. The matter was taken to
court, and the sultan forced to give up
the pearl. The governor commissioned
the Jolo Trading company to sell the
pearl for the finder, the company re-
ceiving 20 per cent. for so doing.
So far as known this pearl is the
largest ever taken from the Sulu sea,
though owing to the secrecy practiced
In selling the gems before American
rule in Sulu there may have been
greater finds. Three years ago pearl
found somewhere to the south of Jolo
was carried to Batavia, and there sold
to a European buyer for $4,000. Dur
ing the recent fair at Jolo, given by
the government for the purpose Of
bringing the Moros together, Capt.
Trana of the Jolo Trading company
exhibited a magnificent black pearl
valued at $1,000, a rare gem of unusual
size and beauty.

pave two of the most important up
town alleys, one running north and
south between Main and Prospect

Oak street. Petitions for the paving
OF these alleys will be presented at
