Oregon City, Or.-Pushing cart
weighing 200 pounds, ]. H. Harris, a
blacksmith, 58 years of age, of Los

his way to British Columbia. Almost
a year ago, according to Harris story,
he received an offer of a position in
Canada, and was informed the place
would'be open to him for three years.
He did not have the money to travel
by steamship or rail, and decided he
would make the trip by team.
Soon after starting, however, his
horses died and he sold his wagon and
continued on foot. Harris is black
smith, and has made enough money
sharpening saws to buy food and cloth
ing. He made the cart he is pushing
in San Francisco. In it he carries his
baggage, tools for sharpening saws,
provisions and camping stove.

LABOR SCARCE IN BIG BEND.
Enough for Harvest But Railroad
Workers Can't Be Found.

Workers Can't Be Found.
Davenport Scarcity of labor for
construction operations is reported
throughout the Big Bend country, al
though apparently plenty of help is at
hand for completion of the harvest.
Among the projects that have been
suffering for want of help for several
weeks is the Bluestem- Columbia
branch of the Great Northern railway.
G. A. Hensel, engineer in charge,
said: "The completion of the branch
this fall was prevented by inability to
secure sufficient help. Conditions in
the camps have been good, wages av-
erage, but the men simply cannot be
found.
On the Reardan permanent high
way John F. Costello & Co., Spokane
contractors, are hampered in the early
completion of the road by dearth of
laborers. For several days they have
had orders in the Spokane employment
agencies for 10 to 20 laborers for
mucking, and have been able to get
but four men. At Long Lake, where
the Washington Water Power COM
pany is constructing the largest pow
er plant and dam in the Northwest,
the necessary labor has been difficult
to provide.

HOP CROP BIG.
Average More Than Ton to the Acre
at North Yakima.

at North Yakima.
North Yakima = The Yakima hop
crop is now more than half harvested,
and the conditions under which the
work is being done are declared by
growers to be nearly perfect. The
hops are coming down much heavier
than was anticipated and if the rest
of the harvest proceeds without dam
age the highest estimate as to the to-
tai yield will be exceeded.
Some of the yards known ordinarily
as Eight yielders, are delivering
three-quarters of a ton to the acre,
and others are running as high as q
ton and half, giving an average well
over ton to the acre.
Three of the big yards are through
with the picking. That of Henry H.
Schott, former mayor of North Yaki-
ma, at Selah, was completed several
days ago. Picking in the yards of the
Mckee company is also finished. Sam
Chong, who, with a big yard in the
school section west of the city, is the
only Chinese grower this year, has
also finished.
The price now stands about 173c
a pound. Many growers contracted
during the winter for the sale of this
seasons hops at slightly higher prices,
but the majority must take that figure
or run the risk of holding for better
market later in the year.
