Conference Will
Seek Relief From
the vagrdnCy Evil

Jacksonville, Fla, Nov. l3.-Flor-
ida has become SO thoroughly arous-
ed over the vagrancy question that
many municipalities will have Off
cial representatives in Jacksonville
November l6, II and IS to hear a
discussion of the hobo" feature OF
the main issue before the Florida
Conference on Charities and Correc-
ton.
There seems to be determination
On the part of the authorities every
where to rid the state OF its idle
hordes whether they be plain tramps.
unworthy beggars or negroes who in
fest all cities and towns while re-
fusing to do a weeks honest work.
1t is the latter feature, however,
which is most concerning the author
tiles. This Is the one which also
most concerns the large industries OF
the state which are actually suffer-
ing for labor when there is plenty
at their back doors.
The question has become so serious
that trade organizations are taking
it. up with splendid results. In
Jacksonville and Tampa a little in
vestigation showed that the shipping
interests of the ports were losing
thousands of dollars monthly through
shortage of labor at the docks,
while the quarters" and the very
docks where they were SO much
needed there were hundreds of me-
groes loafing in idlencss The same
condition has prevailed on relative
scale in the smaller towns OF the
state.
1t has become a matter OF common
knowledge that the labor shortage
is reducing the output OF the saw
mills and turpentine industries by
fully One-iOurth. This Is Il direct
loss of wealth to the state. to say
nothing of its final computation In
dollars and cents when the loss OF
new industries which the prevalence
OF this condition will discourage Is
taken into consideration.
The county and city authorities
are showing no mercy to Migrants In
Jacksonville and Tampa. The au-
thOrities of the smaller towns. spur
red on by the activities OF their local
newspapers. are solving the labor
shortage by going at the root of the
trouble. They are making those
who have lived and fattened In idle
ness heretofore show that they are
honestly earning living by six days
Of honest toll each week. and not
working just enough to secure them
the advantage of doubt which the
law has heretofore presumed in their
favor.
The opening of the fruit packing
season has created still more active
demand for labor and has further cut
down the supply of reliable men who
are attracted away from the indus
tries which operate the year around
Great railroad officials and in
dustrial leaders have declared that
the shortage of labor Is a question
the states of the south must grapple
with and solve in the best possible
manner right now. The south is
entering on a period of remarkable
development. and to be hampered by
shortage Of labor or unreliable la
borers would work irreparable dam
age to hundreds Of communities that
stand to gain hundreds of thousands
Of dollars in new enterprises.

RIVER ROSE SEVEN INCHES
Record Of Last Saturday was Lowest
Summer Mark IN Thirty
Years,

Prof. N T. Chandler made a reading
OF the guage In the Red river this att
ernoon which showed one foot eight
inches below the zero mark. This
shows rise Of seven inches since last
Saturday. This rise was doubtless due
to the recent rains.
The mark reached last Saturday was
the lowest recorded during the thirty
years in which readings have been
made In tho summer time. During the
winter. 40 low mark was reached
on 9 fe woccasions. The nearest ap-
proach to this recording during the
summer was in July 1900.
With the river at the height meas
ured today, about 100000 900 gallons
Of water flow past the city every day.
As the city uses only about 1000, 900
gallons per day there is no present
danger Of a water famine.
The decrease in the flow Of the Red
river is not as noticeable as is that
Of the Red Lake river. Usually the
Red Lake river has flow nearly twice
that Of the Red river while this year
the former has q flow of only 50,0O0,-
900 gallons per day.

LIKED THE STATE FAIR.


Cavalier Chronicle: The state fair
held at Grand Forks last week was
perhaps the biggest and best agricul-
tural and stock fair ever held In the
state and as for the attendance, It
simply overreached the most sanguine
expectations of the fair managers.
Moreover, it taxed the hospitality of
the Grand Forks people to fullest ex-
tent to take care of the thousands
that came to the city. Many Of the
people Of the city generously threw
their homes open to the visitors and
entertained the hundreds and thou
sands the hotels we're unable to pro-
vide for.
The fair attractions were large and
varied. The machinery and stock
show was especially large and fine.
The biggest drawing number, howev-
er, was the flying machines. The
aviators certainly manipulated their
machines In fine shape and navigat-
ed the air with the ease and preci-
sion Of bird.
4 Grand Forks is to be congratulated
in furnishing the people of North
Dakota . week Of such elaborate,
helpful and enjoyable attractions.
