ISSUE CALL FOR LABOR.
Secure Help to Complete Work
and Harvest Crops.

Farmers and contractors of the
Yakima valley have sent hurry up
calls for help to the employment
agencies, which at present is handi-
Gaping the harvesting of the crops
in the country and building operations
in this city. Wages have been raised,
particularly in the harvest fields for
men, and a local contracting firm
Wednesday announced raise in
wages for an eight hour day. One
employment agency in this city has
received the promise of forty men
Friday from a Seattle agency, but this
squad will be but a drop in the buc-
ket to those that are needed. There
is also work in the orchards for
women and children.
Men Afraid to Come.
A representative of contracting
firm who personally went to Seattle
to secure help was told by half
dozen employment agencies in that
city that it was difficult to obtain men
to work in the Yakima valley as they
had read of the recent official activ-
ity against transient laboring men and
did not care to take any chance of
thirty day sentence on the chain
gang for being out of work. The
sheriff's office which waged a vigorous
war for some time against Migrants
has cooled down in it's efforts Of
ficers of the Northern Pacific, how
ever, are still busy.
Reclamation Has Trouble.
The reclamation service is also
wrestling with the labor problem and
is having all kinds of trouble in Sc
curing men. Irrigation work in the
lower Yakima valley is also suffering
The condition at the present time is
not serious and no loss is being ex-
perienced, but unless there is an in
flux of labOrers fears are felt that
the loss may be heavy. The busy
season of the year in this section is at
hand. In past years this has attract
ed transient labor sufficient to supply
the demand. Attractive wages in the
harvest fields of eastern Washington
and the middle western states, plenty
of work in other localities and the ac-
tivity of the authorities in making
arrests of laborers on yagrancy
charges are given as the principal
reasons for the shortage.

DAMS ARE PLANNED
ON ARKANSAS RIVER
Idea Is to Open River to Navigation
During Low Stagcs-WOuld
Boost New State.

GUTHRIE, Okla, Aug. lin the
gable from the mouth of the Cimarron
river to the Mississippi it is proposed
to establish four harbors for loading
during low stages of the water. These
are to be located at Fort Smith Little
Rock, Tulsa, and Muskogee. These
harbors will consist of dam and locks
at each of the points and will cost in
the neighborhoOd of 100000 each, OF
$2,OO0,000 in all. This is the plan
found to be best along the upper
Ohio river.
If congress can be persuaded to
make the necessary appropriation at
the coming winter session the work
can be commenced next summer and
completed within three years, or Sep
TENDER, 1913. Such improvements
will render the river hereafter i'm
mediately available for the Transport
tation of heavy dead freight during
four to five months in the year when
the river is at flood stages. AS the
river flood comes at intervals, during
the spring, fall, and winter, it is
thought that navigation would not be
interrupted at any one time.
Would Give Oklahoma Outlet.
This would give Oklahoma an out
let for cotton, coal, and oil of i'm
mense value to these industries in the
unties along the Arkansas river that
atpresent are dependent solely on rail
transportation and pipe line service.
The oil production of Oklahoma
would probably be most benefited by
such improvements along the Arkan-
sas river. Three years ago the Prairie
company purchased q large tract of
erecting a refinery of many thousand
barrels capacity daily. Alleged I'M
friendly pipe line regulations caused
this project to be abandoned and the
refinery has since been located at
Baton Rouge, La.
While 1t is expected that pipe line
from this field to the refinery will be
built at once by this company, It is
known that much of the oil in the
bottoms of tanks will have become
so heavy as to be impossible of trans
portation by pipe lines. The river
would afford an outlet for this at a
much less cost than is possible by rail
Would Afford Market for Oil.
On top of this the opening of the
river will form a market for crude oil
for export estimated at $4,000 to 90
600 barrels rally and would immedi-
ately give Oklahoma producers the
benefit of the gulf port prices. less the
nominal charge for transportation
from Oklahoma.
This item alone would net the Ok.
lahoma oil field $1,000 to $4,000
daily, or 100000 to $4,000, 900 @
year, more than the entire expense.
contemplated in the improvement OF
the river from Little Rock to the
mouth of the Cimarron. 1t Is gen

scented to congress the oil producer.
and other commercial interests car

SHIFT
FOR SH|FTLESS
VINO SEEK EASY LIVING
Men Who Love to Eat But Hate to
Work Apply for Admission to Coun-
~ Institutions.

Lazy folks. who petition the coun-
ty health officers for letters emitting
them to admission to county institu-
lions, will receive short shift from DR..
Frank. unless their case is a worthy
one. Within the last week several men,
who dislike the prospects of toll in the
hot August sun, have come to the
county health officer, afraid of work
and sick of soul. Examination into
the physical condition of the men ma
king application developed the fact
that there was nothing radically
wrong EXCEPT an abnormal and in
herent dislike of work. One case
ton and Frank discovered that the
organs of the body were doing their
work but the man not his.
Call i'm Police.
To be sure that no mistake would
be made members of the police force
give testimony Chief tSory express
sed the opinion that the man was ma
turally lazy and if anything was the
matter it was from overeating, re-
calling a time when the man in ques-
ton had eaten two porterhouse
steaks, three pieces of apple pie, and
three glasses of milk at one sitting.
The other cases developed the same
traits in lighter form. orders have
been issued to all of the men to seek
work or move on.

MANY LICENSES FOR HUNTERS.
County Auditor Called Upon By
Many SpOrtsmen Who Want to
Be Prepared for Monday.

There was something doing in the
matter of issuing hunting licenses at
the office of the county auditor Fri
day The increased activity was due
to two causes. One of these is that
the hunting season will open on Mon
day next and the other is that it was
circus day and many people had de-
ferred the procuring of licenses, eX-
pecting to be in the city, as they
were, on Friday. incidentally, it may
be said that there are a great many
people in the county who have pro-
cured a wrong idea of the status of
game protection and some of these
think they are entitled to shoot when
and where they please without the
little documents which the county
auditor issues. These people are
likely to prove mistaken.
Citizens Take Hand.
Citizens of the county, cognizant Of
the fact that the game laws have not
been enforced during the time when
game was protected, have been ar
ranging for session with the county
commissioners to the end that the
laws may be enforced when killing is
permissa BILE. If they cannot attain this
ers to do away with the position Of
game warden and take the $50 per
month paid to that official and devote
it to the purchase of game birds to
replace those killed by the violators
of the law. They will also ask that
a substantial reward be offered for in
formation which will result in con-
victions Some of the lovers of birds
have gone farther and offered the
tenants on their ranches SO head
for every conviction for trespass they
can bring about.

licenses Friday were the following:

a Mystery and lis BeIsted Sequel

More than casual interest must attach
10 the result Of an investigation which
is being conducted into the circum-
stances which contributed 10, or caused,
the death. at Annapolis. Nd, some
months ago of an officer Of the Marine
Corps The original inquiry was made
to show that the officer died by his own
hand, and the casualty has been classed
with that OF the suicides. although there
were evidences Of some sort OF a dis
turbance among the four marine officers
with whom the deceased was associated
on the night of his death.
The mystery OF that event was not
fully dispeled by the Official report Of
the court Of inquiry, and the dead off,
GERS friends and relatives have lately
been insistent that some further investi-
cation be made. which action. it is un-
derstood. was taken with much relue-
tanee and, IN some quarters. without ap-
prevail
It ought not TO be necessary for those
who are interested in this tragic incl
dent TO make unusual effort TO have the
death Of such an officer fully and frankly
Investigated. No branch OF the public
service has anything TO lose by having
the truth known. and it is inconceivabIe
as has been suggested by some Of the
sensational newspapers. that anybody in
official place is anxious TO hide anything
or shield a culprit. II there be one It is
made 10 appear that certain witnesses
originally called IN this case are now
giving testimony. az least 10 the news
papers. which admits OF a very different
conclusion from that which regarded this
mysterious affair as a case OF suicide
II will be well 20 ascertain why there IS
such a belated ascertainment Of some OF
the information which has an important
bearing on the findings Of the court Of
Inquiry. Il is proper TO reserve judgment
until something more Is officially promul-
gated, but it is not out OF place here and
now to express surprise that a second
investigation OF such an incident IS
necessary It would have been worth

The lure OF the Stage.

More pathetic than humorous were the
scenes that followed the advertisement OF
q burlesque theater IN Philadelphia OF a
competition between women applicants
for places IN the stock company. There
were girls. older girls, and others no
longer girls IN the line that crowded
10 the stage door. Many OF them were
clerks IN department stores. others
worked In factories. others were without
occupation. On the stage. 20 which a se-
lecJed number gained admittance, the
scene was far from comic. Nearly al
the applicants found themselves FOR the
first time IN tights. some OF which fitted.
while others did not Some could sing.
some could not. and there were few who
could dance al all The spectacle was
both grotesQue and sad. The strange

Some More Law.

The Supreme Court OF the State of Mis-

even one member Of the annihilated fam

Plainly enough. this deceased family
occupies the same place In the minds OF
the Supreme Court Of Missouri that the

The Senate Tariff Bill.

The Payne tariff bill goes back TO the
House loaded down with Senate amend
ments making It a more highly protec-
tive measure than any tariff heretofore
adopted by an American Congress. in
spite Of the numerous decreases in duty
in sundry schedules. These decreases,
as Senator La Toilette has pointed out
relate in the main to trivial matters. or,
as IN the case Of steel rails. TO eommoSi-
ties which could not be imported in
quantities, no matter what the duty;
whereas the many increases affect
larger volume Of imports and favor i'm
portant special interests.
Approximately 70 per cent Of our duti-
able importations will continue 10 come in
under the old Dingley rates. IS per cent
will come in under increased rates Of
duty, and but 70 per cent will come IN
under reduced rates. Less than $500 900
Of tariff taxation is remitted by the
revised schedules as they leave the Sen
ate. and the increased duties impose
added tariff taxation amounting to nearly
S15.OO0.5OO-
In seven out Of the fourteen schedules
equivalent ad valorem duties show an
increase over the duties OF the present
law; in two they remain the same. and
in hve they show a reduction. The aver
ags ed valorem duties imposed by the
entire bill show an increase from 4OH
TO IN. Such is revision Of the tariff
by its friends. With a little touching UP
in conference, il ought TO be satisfactory
TO the most hardened staadpatter.
While there can be no doubt as TO the
quality OF the bin as a measure Of tariff
revision. there may be considerable ques-
ton as 10 its producing abilities
The estimates that have been made are,
and must remain. little better than guess
work. No one can actually tell until the
bin has been in operation for a year or
more what il viii DO toward providing
sufficient revenue. Various changes IN
the method Of valuation OF imported
goods complicate the increases in duties.
and although Mr.. Aldrich has expressed
confidence that the prevention OF under
valuations viii produce large additions 10
the customs revenue. it remains 10 be
seen whether higher duties will not di-
minish the volume OF imports. There
appear to be no available data regarding
the probable returns from the corporation
tax. II is widely believed that It viii
prove a larger revenue yielder than the
President anticipated, and so may make
up for any deficiency in customs re-
ceipts. But in any event, the new taxa
ton VIII not afford the Treasury any
relief for year or more, so that the
government may be forced to borrow
money 10 meet the extravagant appro-
priations Of the last session.
Mr.. Aldrich has already intimated that
the question OF bond issues will be taken
up in December. II IS evident that the
whole matter OF adjusting revenue to
expenditure. or the reverse operation. is
still in a chaotic condition, and must so
remain for some time to come.
