We have been thinking a whole
lot abou, the article in Tom Blac-
wells paper last week touching
the labor question tor the North
Fork country this fall. He stated
a, least one very important thing
and that was that the gentle
ranchman must arrange for de-
cent board and lodging at fair
laborins mems rates. The North
Fork must have likely one thous.
and men and women extra to
handle this crop and steps must
soon be taken to secure them.
The mining camps generally have
lots of people who would like to
come into the fruit country and
spend a few weeks among the
fruit and in the past a trifiiog cf.
fort has brought all we could use
but they would not stay because
there was no place provided fol
them to stay. The ranchmcr
who imagine that laboring people
will come here and work wher
beds and meals are not only high
in price but practically unattain
able. are sadly in error. The bes'
and most reliable ranchmeu are
arranging to feed and lodge thcil
