HARVEST HANDS
SWARM NORTH
POOR CROPS IN SOUTH AND
AND SOUTHWEST DRIVE FARM
LAHoHERs FROM THOSE SEC
TONS TO MINNESOTA AND
NORTH DAKOTA.

| ST. Paul Pioneer Press: The rush to
the harvest fields is now on in full
swing. Incoming trains are loaded with
farm laborers bound for the wheat
fields Of Minnesota and the Dakotas
Yesterday at the Union depot were
crowds OF seemingly experienced farm
laborers loaded down with their be
Ionglngs. Here and there could be
seen young men whose appearance
showed that they had never had the
experience of following the threshing
machine
Most Of the traffic at the depot yes
terday was farm laborers exchanging
cars for the west. The majority came
from the south and the southwest
The crops in that section of the coun-
try were damaged in the early summer
because of the lack of rain. One man
from the western part of Kansas said
the crops here look about rs per cent
better than they do throughout the
whole southwest. Late corn, however,
will be about fair. II is said.
There will be the lightest harvest
we've had in years down In Kansas, >
noon while waiting for the Great
Northern train for Fargo. Most of
the farm hands down that way will
come to the wheat fields here in Min
| nesota and the Dakotas. There is no
work to be had there. never saw so
many persons beating their way in
all my life as / did on my trip up
here"
All the ticket offices on Robert street
were busy yesterday directing men to
the different parts OF the northwest
where they are needed. The 500 office
reported that numerous applications
have been made for information per-
tanning to the harvest fields in west
ern Canada. They expect to inaugu-
rate new harvest hand rates to west
ern Canada within few days to ac-
commodate the farm laborers seeking
work in that country.
The labor agencies here expect to
ship about 400 men within the next few
days to different points along the
Great Northern and Northern Pacific.
They will not begin their heaviest
shipping, however, from here before
the middle of the month because the
threshing will not be general in all
sections until between Aug. is and
Aug. 20.
Nearly thousand farm hands will
leave st. Paul for the Canadian grain
fields today and Monday as many more
will follow, according to Capt ]. III.
Wilson, in charge of the free employ
ment bureau at the old capitol.
Many of these are men who came
from aaStern states for +hn ha
in Minnesota and are going on to Cam
ada now that harvest is over in many
sections in this state. Others have
come to st. Paul especially for that
purpose and have waited for the low
rates to go into effect. Today the rate
is $S to the Canadian border and on
Monday it will be $12 direct to the
fields.

WOMAN VAGRANT
GETS HEAVY fine
coLoRED WOMAN WAS FINED
THIS MORNING IN POLICE
COURT FOR GIVING CHASE
THROUGH ALLEYS - 1T WAS
HER SECOND oFFENsE.

The police courtroom has not been
enlivened with the gay colors OF a
woman's headgear in some time, but
this morning young colored damseI
in fetching pink bonnet OF the latest
fashion, was ushered In before Judge
Miller to answer a charge of yagrancy
and disorderly conduct.
The woman gave tho name OF Jessie
Harris, and told the court she had been
before him at another time not long
since. The magistrate remembered the
incident perfectly, though he did not
recall the name of Harris. The woman
insisted she had given no other name,
but later it was found on the court
records that she had been fined on
July is for having committed the same
offense, at which time she had given
the name of Jessie Rinscon.
When questioned In regards to the
numerous misdemeanors with which
she was charged this morning, the de-
linQuent was silent and would not ac-
knowledge great deal, though admit
ted she had caused the police depart
ment some trouble last night when she
was chased through several alleys and
streets Of the lower part Of the city.
Considering this was her second Of
Tense, Judge Miller fined the woman
$50 and imposed an alternate sentence
Of forty days In jail at hard labor.
Jessie accepted the situation calmly
and followed Chief Bowers back to her
cell without protest. 1t is thought she
will secure the money within few
hours to pay the fine.
She was neatly dressed and her gid
dy pink hat attracted much attention
Last night 1t was stated that she was
misbehaving on the streets, and when
the police officer IN making the arrest
attempted to bring her to the station
she sxillfully lodged him and dartec
down an alley. In court this morning
she was asked If she was not a pretty
good Splinter. judging from the &C.
counts OF the manner i'm which she
gave chase to several members Of the
police force last night before she was
finally caught.
AS she was leaving the courtroom
after her hearing, she was informed bs
the magistrate, that lie she was hrough
In again before him, that her fine and
sentence would be doubled, an an.
nouncement the woma accepted calm.
lly. From her manner no one wouic
have thought she was being addressed

WHY NOT WORK CONvICTS ON
GOOD ROADS?

While we are discussing the
cost of building good roads, why
should not the State take up
seriously the ACCESSIBILITY of put
ting convicts to work upon
them? A few years ago an ex-
pertinent was made on our roads
with men from the House Of
Correction. They did excellent
work and there was no difficulty
in handling them, says the Balti-
more News. In other States it
has been found that convicts
will come to look upon assign
ment to work on State roads as
a reward for good behavior,
while the outdoor life serves to
make them better mentally and
physically, giving immensely
more chance to redeem them to
citizenship.
Aside from the question of
economy altogether, it does seem
that when a State can take men
out of the close confinement of
prison walls and give them work
in the open air that needs to be
done, work that convicts wish to
do, work that will not compete
with free labor because there
is difficulty in getting labor on
the roads-it should not hesitate
to do so unless there is much
greater objection to the plan
than has yet been brought.
It has often been suggested
that if the State does not wish
to put the men on the roads for
dislike of the publicity-an utter
ly absurd objection, it seems
to us-or on account of the
difficulty of guarding them, a
trouble not had elswhere they
do work on roads, it could
buy quarries and certainly man
age to use convicts in them to
advantage. If stone could be
got at more reasonable rate
from a State-owned quarry
situated so that water transpor-
tation was available one of the
heaviest expenditures on roads
could be much reduced.
