PRAIRIE FACES
Of
HARVEST HANDS

With the grain harvest on Camas
Prairie commencing, farmers face a
great shortage of labor. Scores OF
farmers have been in Grangeville dur
ing the week seeking help, and many
have returned without having found
harvest hands.
Wages being paid for harvest work
range from $4 to So day, with
board. Usually at this season OF the
year transient harvest hands drift
to Camas Prairie, but the present
season so for has been an exception.
Few transients have arrived for the
harvest.
Camas Prairie's harvest gives prom
Use of being the largest In years. In
virtually every part Of the prairie,
bumper crops are reported. Some
grain Is down, but most of this will
be recovered by careful cutting or
heading. Farmers who have down
grain ard also possess hogs will, after
the standing grain has been cut, turn
their swine into the fields to salvage
| the down grain, rather than attempt
to harvest 1t.

Overfield squandered his fortune in
riotous living, it is stated by old
time mining men who have known him
for years. When he sold the Jumbo
property, he spent more money, per-
haps, than did any other man in the
palmiest, days of Grangeville during
the Hump excitement
1t is related that once Overfeld ar
rived in Sites, the railroad terminal,
bound for Lewiston. The Lewiston
frain had departed and he was disin-
