FIFTY THOUSAND WANTED
TO HARVEST WESTERN CROP

Washington, July 21.-Fifty thous-
and able-bodied men are wanted in the
harvest fields of the west to take care
OF the bounteous crops. Farmers are
literally begging for help, according
to officials of the department of COM
merce and labor, whose duty it is to
find employment for throngs of aliens
who come into this country. The Of
ficials are almost powerless because of
the penniless condition OF many of the
immigrants. Assistant Secretary Nc
Harg, of the department of commerce
and labor suggests that the railroads
transport aliens west at actual cost,
as their profit would come in hauling
back the tremendous product Of the
aliens labor.

Legislation Necessary TO Garry
Out Roosevelt Policies.

Sacramento, CAL, Oct. 5.-After
making one of the longest jumps of
his trip and travelling for twenty-five
hours through Oregon and the north.
ern half of California, President Taft
arrived here. to remain until morn.
ing, when he proceeds to Oakland and
San Francisco. x
Mr.. Taft was entertained at dinner,
was taken for an automobile ride
through the city, to be cheered all
along the route, and made an address
In the state capitol grounds. AZ
The president selected for the prin.
cipal feature of his speech the con.
servation of natural resources, In
which he declared anew that before
many of the Roosevelt policies of con,
! servation can be carried into effect
confirmatory and enabling legislation
must be secured and he pledged him.
self to use all his power to induce
congress to pass the laws necessary.
Having already made number of
set speeches covering the various sub.
jects he expects to incorporate in his
annual message to congress, the pres
1dent during the rest of his tour will
discuss in more or less detail many
Of the phases of the larger questions,
for he believes that after all the de.
tails count more thar a mere general
declaration of policy.
While to the average mind the
thought of day and night of unin.
terrupted travel suggests discomfort
and fatigue, the twenty-five hours be
tween Portland and Sacramento
proved to be period of real rest and
enjoyment for the president. The
only stops made on the way were at
division points necessary to
the operation of the train. There were
crowds at each Of these places and
the president appeared on the rear
platform Of his car to shake hands or
. make a few informal remarks.
