JOBS PLENTY, MEN SCARCE.
Tlghtness of Money Stops Alaskan
Movement.

Movement.
Tightness Of money among the
floating labor class has worked a
scarcity of shipment OF laborers to
the Tanana mines, says the Oregon
Daily Journal. The Hansen agency,
through which the Tanana Mine own
ers' association worked to secure a
shipload Of men, reports that of the
hundreds of applications received
from laborers who wanted to go, only
score were able to put up the ne
cessary $40 in advance to pay their
fare and expenses through from
Portland to Fairbanks.
"A great many would have gone
had they been able to raise the cash."
said Manager Hansen. "The aver
age laborer who has been out of a
job most of the winter has not enough
money in reserve to take this trip.
While the effort of the Western Fed
Grafton of Miners to prevent shipment
of men to the Tanana hurt some, the
lack of money among the floating
population classes was the main cause
of the small number of men actually
shipped"
Prospects for spring work are said
to be fair. There is just now good
deal of demand for logging help.
Some OF the logging camps have
opened up, and others are getting
ready to open. The Twin Falls Log
ging company opened its spring op-
erations at Yacolt this week
The principal demands for common
labor at the present time come from
logging camps and for street work in
the city. There is some demand for
workers on telephone and telegraph
line construction.
Farm work is opening up slowly.
Wages for farm hands offered this
spring are $25 to $50 per month and
board instead of $25 to $40 offered
last spring. OF much white labor is
left idle in the vicinity of Portland.
The waiting class here at the present
time is made up mostly of foreign
laborers. The white labor drifted
away during the winter. seeking the
nearest points where profitable work
could be secured.
Several thousand laborers will be
from the north bank line this
summer upon its completion into
Portland. These laborers are already
being let out in small lots. 1t is ex-
pected that new work or railroad
camps that were shut down last fall
will open up in time to absorb most Of
these men.

ANNIVERSARY Of BATTLE Of THE ALAMO

February TO- Miss de Zavala slipped
within the walls and sent out her dec
laratiOn Of war.
Telephone and electric light wires
leading to the building were cut, and
the first night in the building she
spent in darkness, without food or
water. The following day her sup
porters came with food. which was
passed her through a small opening
in a door.
And so she maintained a siege Of
three days and three nights. Then
she surrendered and turned the Ala
mo over to the state.
The siege of the Alamo 70 years
ago began on February 90. 1886, when
the Mexican general, Santa Ana, sur
rounded the old church with an over
powering force and began a cannon
ade.
Everyone in the Alamo realized the
| defense could have but one end. Yet
none would yield. They knew what
mercy they might expect from Santa
Ana. At last, on March 6, the cam
non tore breach in the walls and
the Mexicans rushed in. Worn out
as they were with fatigue, starvation
and constant fighting. the Americans
twice drove back their assailants.
with heavy losses. But at the third
charge the Mexicans. by sheer weight
of numbers gained a foothold inside
the enclosure. There was no sur
render. Every American fought like
a hero, knowing how hopeless was the
battle. All fell. fighting, except five,
who were overpowered and captured.
These were butchered by Santa Ana
in cold blood. Women as well as men
were slain. Some reports say that
three women and two babies survived
the slaughter. Others say that one
baby was left alive
In less than a month afterward the
battle cry Of the Texans, Remember
the Alamo" rang out as General Sam
Houston took an awful revenge at
San Jacinto. The Mexicans were
routed with terrible loss, and Santa
Ana captured.

San Antonio, Texas, March 6.-To-
day is the anniversary of one of the
greatest battles in the history Of
America-the final scene of the trag-
edy Of the Alamo, when David Crock
ett William Travis and James Bowie,
with their few devoted and fearless
followers, yielded up their lives. 1t
was ~ years ago, on March 6. 1895,
that these heroes wrote their names
in blood on their countrys roll of
honor in letters that time and change
will never dim
Interest in today's anniversary is
heightened by the warfare that is
being waged over the custody of the
historic old church building, and
which recently led Miss Adina de "a
vala. leader of one of the faction os
the Daughters of the Texas Republic
10 maintain a siege of three days and
nights in this cradle of Texas liberty
The Alamo still stands pretty much
the same in appearance as it was
72 years ago, or 100 years before that
From time to time movements have
been set on foot to make some special
use of it. with a view of making 1t
a national memorial. and there have
been several attempts by "enterpris-
ing" persons to get hold OF II and turn
it to some sort Of money-making pur-
pose: but these have a been defeated.
The latest is tentat.ve proposition
10 construct a handsome park about
the historic spot, with a tourists no.
tel. In every one of these efforts to
profane what is now sacred Spot
patriotic women have been instru-
mental in defeating the vandalism.
Now the patriotic women are fight
ing among themselves and the end
Of the battle is not yet in sight.
The Alamo is now in the hands of
w. c. Day, state superintendent Of
buildings and grounds, who will hold
the property until Texas court de-
cides which of the factions of the
Daughters of the Republic Is to man
age it.
The fight for the possession of the
building began about two years ago,
when the legislature appropriated
$4,000 to repay Mrs. Clara Driscoll-
Sewer, Just preceding the session Of
this legislature a portion Of the old
Alamo structure was threatened with
destruction, and Mrs Sewer advanced
a part Of her fortune to save 1t.
At that time Mrs. Sewer was re-
garded as a leading spirit in the
councils of the Daughters Of the Re-
public. Miss de Zovala was for some |
time secretary to Mrs. Sewer. In APP
propriating the money the state be-
came the owner Of the building and
Alamo property, although the Gus
tody thereof was to remain in the |
hands Of the Daughters Of the Re-
public. Then came split in the or
ganiZati0n.
Both factions had keys to the doors
Of the old building. At nlghtfall, on

EARLY LANDING IN GRANT.
Steve Harer of Long Creek Is Ready
for New Experiment.


Steve Harer is getting ready for
lambing time which begins at the
Harer's ranch this month, says the
Long Greek Ranger. This is some
what a surprise to the sheep men of
this section as the regular lambing
time is in April. But Mr.. Harer has
an idea and he Is working it out all
by himself and if his idea is a good
one it may work a great change in
the sheep raising industry in this
country.
Mr.. Harer believes that the lambs
should be as old as lambs can be in
September and that their develop
ment should be well along by the time
winter weather sets in. Consequently
they should be born early.
He has erected a large enclosed
shed l00X125 feet and has made IS
as warm as a barn. In fact large
stove will be put in place to provide
against a March storm and It is be-
lieved that ne will not lose many
lambs because of the weather.
One objection is raised by some
sheepmen and that is that the ewes
must have green grass to provide sub
stance for the lambs. Mr.. Harer be-
lieves that by proper feeding he can
overcome this difficulty and be be-
lieves that in the fall he will have
much better lambs than he had from
a later lambing season.

Yakima Man Urges People OF North

Highly Commended.

Nlldl SUBJECT or cOllectlng historical
data from yet living pioneers of the
Seattle, subject which the East Ore
gonlan has urged upon the writer's Of
the northwest many times in the past
Former Judge James B. Reavis, OF
Seattle, who is in North aYkima on
legal business. is deeply interested in
any movement having as its object the
preservation of historical Incidents
connected with the early settlement OF
Washington and he thinks 1t is the
duty of every person in a position to
procure the information to record 1t.
The movement of A. ]. Splawn, Of
as are obtainable from the surviving
Indians indicating their attitude on
questions now in the past is, in his
opinion, a commendable one. Such
of the older settlers as have intimate
personal recollections of men or
events OF the earlier days should,
Judge Reavls thinks. put them into
memoranda.
The task, he points out, of obtain
ing accurate historical information,
while 1t appears difficult, is yet prac-
ticable. As an instance of this he re-
lates the manner in which traditions
are passed along, by hand, as 1t were.
Wisconsin historians, 100 years after
the famous affair of Kings mountain,
were able to compile an almost COM
plete roster of those who participated
in that affair.

True Americans Arc Here.

In Washington there are living to-
day many men who have first hand in
formation of many of the important
events OF the earlier days of this state
or who had heard participants in those
events relate their experiences Mr.
Splawn. for example. was acquainted
with "Father" Wilbur, as was Judge
Reavls himself He must have left
recollections which will prove of value
to the future and which value will
increase as time passes.
Colonel Shaw, who recently died in
Oregon. was another OF those who had
intimate knowledge OF the earlier
events and who was acquainted with
the military men who were here In
the unsettled times of the state. Col
onel Shaw was notoriously backward
about writing sketches OF his career
but It was understood, Judge Reavis
said. that he had left considerable
memoranda which will be of value.
Ezra Meeker is still another of the
earlier settlers whose data must turn
out to be of growing Importance.
Judge Reavls spoke of the work done
by Mn Meeker as excellent.

there was no curative powers in
