Every Limo Of Industry Affected BY
Shortage Of Labor In Baker.

Every Line Of Industry Affected by
Shortage Of Labor In Baker.
Baker City-The greatest call for
laborers ever sent out from Eastern
Oregon can now be heard In all parts
Of Baker county, and there is no pros
pect Of the demand being supplied.
All lines Of industry are crampcd by
the shortage and II is probable some
campaign will be inaugurated by the
large concerns TO secure men. One
employer states that he is In need Of
hundreds ofmen and is unable TO secure
them at any price. The Warren Con-
struction company 10 preparing TO I'M
port men TO do the paving work on
large area for which they have con-
tracted. Suficient labor could not
obtained here TO carry on the. prelimin-
ary work.
The Sumpter valley 10 suffering for
more laborers In carrying on the work
on the extension from Austin TO
Prairie City. A force Of nearly a
thousand men was employed last fall,
but now only few hundred can be
secured.
The Oxbow people are making very
slow progress on the big tunnels at
Copperfeld owing 70 the scarcity Of la
Dor. They were forced TO suspend
work because Of the high water and
hundreds Of the lsborers left and men
cannot be secured TO All their places.
The mines are also calling for men
and throughout the country the ranch
ers are crying "send US men," I'm
usual wages are being offered and un-
less the farmers secure help they will
have trouble In getting In their
spring crops and caring for their har-
vest.
irrigation Maps to Be Distributed.

preparations made by both government

Howard Lewis.
These maps are made on lA-inch |
scale and with contour Of five foot

200 square milems surrounding and ad-

summer these geological surveys were

is expected the surveys will be contin-

ROBERT IN. LA TOILETTE
REBUFFS PRESIDENT TAFT
He Turns Down Request to Visit
the White House-Senator
Warns President.

Washington. - Accentuating the
wide breach between the progressive
Republican senators ard President
Taft, the fact can be stated that the
leader of the progressive forces, SEN
ator Robert M. La Toilette of Wiscon-
sin, has declined an invitation from
the President of his own party to call
at the White House and discuss judi
ciary appointments. The President,
through Secretary Norton, addressed
letter to La Toilette asking him to
call at the White House to discuss
various candidates for the federal ju-
dietary. Senator La Toilette, for rea-
sons ample in his own opinion, de-
clined to go to the White House, but
sent the following letter:
Dear Mr.. President have a letter
from your secretary, Mr. Norton,
stating that you would like to discuss
with me certain judicial appoint
ments.
The one suggestion would offer is
that in view of present conditions
only such men should be selected az
will be certain to construe the Con-
stitution and the law with due regard
to the interests of the people, elimin-
ating from consideration those whose
legislative or judicial record shows
them biased toward special interests
or whose legal connections would
tend to prejudice their minds in favor
of such interests.
may properly add that shall sup
port your administration whenever ]
can do so consistently, and shall OPP
pose your recommendations only
when find 1t necessary so to do in
accordance with my convictions OF
public duty. Respectfully yours,
ROBERT M. LA TOILETTE.
To Hon. William H. Taft, the White
House.
Senator La Toilette gave his letter
out because he had heard that re.
ports were going around that he had
turned down an invitation to discuss
the Judiciary appointments with Mr.
Taft
Senator La Toilette is one OF the
Insurgents whose patronage was cui
off by the President in the last ses'
sion of congress. He will stand oui
against Mr.. Taft on many PROPOSE
lions in the present session, but there
are reports that split is Imminent
In the insurgent ranks between Sena
tor Cummins and his followers and
Senator La Toilette.

terry and guards at many point inside
the Enclosure, massive bronze coffin
holding the mortal remains of Mary
Baker Glover Eddy, founder of the
Christian Science Church, was placed
in receiving vault. But 1t will not
remain there. Before the funeral SER
vices George W. Glover, the only liv-
ing child Of her blood, made It plain
to Archibald Mcclellan, chairman of
the Christian Science board of direc-
tors, and Gen. Henry M. Baker, a cou-
sin OF the dead leader, that he would
force its removal to Concord, N. H.,
even If he had to resort to the courts
Admission to the funeral services
In the big stone house on Chestnut
Hill was by card alone Two sets of
guards examined the credentials Of
each person between the house and
the gate. Eighty persons gained ad-
mission to the large, sunny room to
the south Of the hall in this way. On
the bronze coffin was a huge spray Of
pink rosebuds, 81 in all, one for each
JOdA VI WI .. IIQuy , lIlS.
It was III o'clock when Judge Cliff
ford p. Smith, first reader of the
mother church, began to read from
the Bible and from Science and
Health" Around the room stood the
members of Mrs. Eddy's household
and the invited ones. George w. G1o-
yer and his children, George and
Mary, took a place near the coffin.
The girls sobs we're the only evidence
of grief in the chamber. The women
wore gray dresses and the men were
in business sack suits for the most
part.
After the reading of Judge Smith
those present repeated the Lords
prayer, and the service was concluded
by the reading of Mrs. Eddy's poem,
Mothers Evening Prayer" by Mrs.
Carol Hoyt Powers, the second reader
of the mother church. Then, after an
interval of silent prayer, the active
paIlbearers carried the coffin through
the hall to the porte-cochere, where
the hearse was waiting.
A last look was taken at Mrs. Ed
dy's face before the removal of the
CONN and many commented on the
wasted and shrunken visage.
The drive to the cemetery is one
of several miles. The gates of Mount
Auburn, always open to the public,
were closed through the influence Of
the Scientists, and guides were every
where throughout the cemetery. The
cards Of admission were closely
scanned. At the cemetery Judge
Smith again read few extracts from
the Bible and from Science and
Health" and the gates of the vault
were closed
AS the doors were swung silently
to Mary Glover, the grandchild, broke
again into sobs. But not a woman OF
the many present offered her a word
of comfort Instead the Scientists
chatted gaily with one another.
A guard of four men especially EN-.
ployed by the board of directors was
left to watch the tomb, and they will
relieve one another night and day. A
telephone has been set up in the vault
and they will be in constant touch
with the Christian Science church.

SIxTY-FIRST CONGRESS
ws IN ITS LAST SESSION
Opening Scenes Marked by Mingled
Joy and Sadness--Mourn for
-Four Senators.

Washington. The last session of
the Sixty-first congress got under way
on schedule time. At the tick of noon
Vice. President Sherman's gavel de-
scended in the senate, and Uncle Joe
Cannon's in the house, declaring to
the assembled members and the
crowded galleries that the legislative
work for the winter had begun. The
usual committees were appointed by
both houses to wait on each other
with the announcement that every
thing was ready for business and a
joint committee was named to call on
the President and inform him that
congress was ready to receive any
communications, that he might care to
transmit to them. This formal bust
ness over, both the senate and the
house adjourned in memory of the
members who have died since the
close Of the last session.
The opening scenes Of the session
were marked by mingled Joy and sad
ness, but the sadness seemed to be in
larger chunks, though there was no
exultation among Democrats. Nine
ty-eight defeated Republicans, victims
of the Democratic landslide, gathered
in the house for their farewell ses-
sion, ard over on the senate side IA,
among them veterans of many leg
islative battle, were taking their seats
for final service
r. The opening prayer was delivered
by Chaplain Guden, and that over the
reading clerk droned the routine of
names on the house membership roll.
Announcements were made in the
usual way of the death during the re-
cess of Representatives Foulkrod of
Pennsylvania, Brownlow of Tonnes
see, Gilmore of Louisiana and Tirrell
of Massachusetts,.
When the third and closing session
Of the Sixty-first congress assembled
it was marked in the senate by an
event which, Senator Bacon said,
''had no precedent in the entire hiss
tory of the American congress-" 1t
was announced to the senate that four
senators-Daniel of Virginia, Clay Of
Georgia, Dolliver of Iowa and McEn-
cry OF Louisiana--had died since the
adjournment OF congress last June.
In no previous congress have so many
senators died between sessions. When
the announcements of the deaths of
these senators had been made the SEN
ate at once adjourned.
