FOR FILING
ON RESERVATION HOMESTEADS

Spokane. Wash. Dec. 6.-Official
announcement is made by Superin-
tendent Witten, who had charge of
the drawings for Indian reservation
lands in eastern Washington, north
ern Idaho and western Montana last
August, that those who hold numbers
for homesteads will be aided in select
ing land by estimates of values to be
furnished by the department of the
interior. Mr.. Witten says in letter
to L. G.. Monroe, secretary of the
Spokane chamber OF commerce, that,
although persons holding numbers
are at liberty to inspect and examine
the lands in the reservations for VIII ch
their numbers are assigned, not re-
served or allotted to the Indians, this
will not be necessary before they
present their filings, as they may
with reasonable safety be guided by
the estimates of the three commits
sioners. who have classified and ap-
praised the land. Secretary Monroe
say that more than rs per cent of
those who secured numbers for home
steads OF 100 acres each at the draw
ings last summer will make filings
Some OF the homesteads are worth
from $4,000 to $4,000 for their tim

EMPLOYMENT AGENCIES MUST
NOT CHARGE WORKNEN

Spokane, Wash, Dec. 6.-Labor
agencies are prohibited from exacting
or receiving fees of any kind as com
pensation for services rendered to la
borers in the procurement of employ
ment by the terms of an ordinance
submitted to the city council of Spo-
| kane by Mayor Nelson s. Pratt. They
must look to employers or persons
placing orders for labor for remuner-
alton. The penalty provided as pun
ishment for violations is fixed at not
more than 5000 or six months in
jail or both.
The enactment of the ordinance,
which has no opposition in the coun-
ell, will give Spokane the distinction
Of being the first city in the United
States to legislate against dishonest
agents in THE manner the purpose
being to break up their fraudulent
practices. against which the laborer
has no legal recourse at present.
Mayor Pratt says in his message to
the council that the supreme court
of the state of Washington has indl-
Gated that employment agencies are
subject to regulatory provisions,
and" he adds, there is no doubt
that the ordinance suggested will be
sustained by the courts as a proper
regulation OF this business. The or
dinance will give protection to those
who need and deserve it most, with
out taking away the profit of n busi-
ness conducted on legitimate lines.
Hundreds of individual cases have
been before me during the last six
months, and my observation has been
such that I know 1t Is the daily prac
tice of many employment agencies to
act fraudulently and dishonesty in
their dealings with the laboring men
who go TO them for employment"
The ordinance is based upon a fed
eral statute for the protection of sea-
men, which declares that II any per-
son demands or receives directly or
indirectly or otherwise remuneration
from seaman or any person seek
ing employment as a seaman for pro-
vidlng him with employment, he shall
for every such offense be deemed gull
~ of a misdemeanor.

SCURVY BREAKS OUT
AMONG INDUSTRIAL WORKERS

Spokane, Wash, Dec. "a disease
resembling scurvy has broken out
among the I. w. w. prisoners con-
fined in the old Franklin school
building. II is believed to be the re-
suit OF lack of vegetable food The
gums of three men have turned dark
blue and their teeth are so loose they
can scarcely keep them in their SOCK
cts.
The police have reduced rations in
the effort to starve the revolut onists
into submission to the anti-street
speaking ordinance.
The Franklin school building Is de-
clared to be in a frightfully unsani-
tary condition. 1t has not been scrub
bed since the prisoned were taken
there.
A. r. Cousins, assistant editor of
the Industrial Worker official organ
of the revolutionists here, was this
morning found guilty and sentenced
to four months in the county Jail.
James Thompson wa sentenced to
six months.

Some Of the big people up there are

predicting that the labor troubles will

labor leaders are talking or making
determined fight.
There was general selling OF long
wheat for an hour this morning ana
this forced a dip in prices. At the
time bottom prices were made there
was a break in the corn market, and
this inspired some selling OF wheat,

the morning were as flatterlng as any
yet received.
The Modern Filler puts the winter
wheat acreage up close to 32,000,0O0
Two or three big houses did a good
volume of business in wheat on the
dip, and the market hardened late In
the session, Minneapolis did not have
car of wheat for the day, and south

roads. The two big northwest markets
show a net cut of 2,775,OOO bushels in
wheat stocks for the week.
The present movement will play

Jump of is Cents I'm Value Causes
Surprise-New Record is Also Made
for Helfers-StriISe Would Hurt
Portland Market-Wheat Is Per
picking.

Union Stockyards, Stockdale, Dec
s.-Hogs reached new high record
at 1925 in the Stockdale yards Sat
urday.
An advance of 15c was quoted over
all former transactions for several
lots of very fancy hogs. These were
shipped in by Comb & Hotskiss OF
Enterprise, Ore. The sale was made by
the Benson Commission company to
James Henry, who Will ship the swine
TO Seattle.
Record price was obtained today for
n better grade of hogs than has re-
Gently been received here, but the
higher value was also helped along by
the great strength the swine market
here has been showing.
Portland market has absorbed more
hogs in It's trade recently, than ever
before and every day an additional In
crease is shown in the wants.
One Shipper Sends All Good Stuff.
Hogs that went at sS.25 at Stock
dale during the day averaged from
2Os to 226 pounds. Three lots were
sold at the high record; the same
shipper sending the entire bunch and
the same buyer took them all.
While the run of hogs at Stockdale
TODAY was lighter than expected, still
this may be considerable help TO the
trade. II does a market good to al
low II to rest once In a while. If the
trade gets about all the hogs IT needs
II does harm to the price. If shippers
can keep the trade guessing about its
mpplies II may be a mterial help to
general conditions.
Strike Would Hurt the Trade.
Livestock trade in general would be
hurt here by n continuance or the
strike inaugurated by rne switchmen
Of the Northern Pacific railroad. Ex-
tension of the trouble would stop all
shipment to the Puget sound markets
from here. unless shipments are made
by boat, and the north is one Of Port
lands best customers Officials OF the
stockyards reported today that IS cars
of cattle were dispatched last night
over the Northern Pacific for Puget
sound centers. but because OF the
trouble buyers here have been going
rather slow with their purchases.
New Record for IIeifcrs.
A new record for heifers was shown
In the cattle market today when one
sale was made at $3.S5 or l0c above
anything heretofore reached during
the present season. The lot that topped
and overtopped the market consisted
OF 80 head that averaged but 7SA
pounds.
Several sales Of COWS were made
during the "a hours at S3.65, but none
Of these were toppers. Market for
Al cows stands form at 1915, ana
whenever the quality is offered this
price is obtainable at the moment
Heavy calves are selling lower. Too
much of this class OF stuff has been
coming recently TO maintain the price

tainable Good stuff, however, is firm
at old quotations.
