HIRERS ARK OIT OF WORK 10OO yitn Lying Idle In Nome Sub. Istlug- ou Charily. Tacoma, Wash., Aug. IS. Fully 1000 miners, many of whom are existing in miserable quarters, are out of employ ment at Nome and the discouraged men re returning to the States as fast as tbey can Becure money enough to pay their passage. Nome is taking care of a nntnber of foreigners who are in des titute circumstances. Tbey are living in temporary dug-outs along the beach and the city is providing them with neces saries in the food lice. The above report concerning labor conditions in the Far North was brought to Tacoma today by the captain of the steamer Elihu Thomson. The list of un ' employed is not caused by strikes, as is the case at other places in Alaska, by an over supply of labor. En ploy ment companies rushed men through to the North, promising wages of $5 per day and when the men got there they found if they wanted to work they would have to take 83.50 per day To ere aremore men getting (3.50 per hy than are drawing 85, The cost of living is not as great as it was and there Las been no serious labor troubles during the season. According to the officers of'the Thom son tha salmon catch is much larger . Jbui usual this season. tattle Doing lu The Market. rrauilll OREGON J1L.X II. Hi: WEIGHT Heir Delegation to Cong-ret Weigh Oyer 500 Pouuaa. Newport, Or., Aug. 18. "Oregon will Lave the heaviest delegation in Congress next session of any state in the Union," said Judge TV. R. Ellis, of Pendleton, Congressman from the Second District, who is now recreating at Newport. "I am confident that no other state will have a delegation with as great an average weight per member as t)regon. Whatever the people may charge us with, they cannot accuse us of being deficient physically." Congressman Ellis weighs 255 pounds and is sometimes a little heavier. Con gressman Ha wley, of the First District, weighs from 240 to 245 pounds. Thus Oregon's two Congressmen weigh 550 pounds, an average weight for the delegation of 250 pounds. "In my former term in Congress,' said Judge Ellis, "there was only five or six men in the House a heavy as I Judge Cockrell, ot Texas, was the heaviest Representative. He weighed .225 pounds. Speaker Thomas B. Reed was also a heavyweight, tipping the scales at 260. Both Reed and Cockrell are now dead. Other men in the House then who weighed in the vicinity of 250 were Representatives Henrichsen, of Illinois; Oates, of Alabama, and Sereno . Payne, of New York, present chair man of the ways and means committee." m .a a .a Aituougb Una is tbe season o the year for sheepbuvers to flock here for the purpose of buying lambs for fall delivery, there is little doiDg in the Umatilla county market, and apparently but lew sheep will be sent out this year. At present Howard Stevens, of the firm of Stevens & Rust, is the only buyer in the field. lie ia in tb market for lambs for shipment to their ranch in Nebraska and has already purchased 2500 head of Joe Connelly. The price paid has not been made public, but is under stood to have been a high one. Owing to the fact that there is abundant winter range for all of the sheep now owned in the county, there is little desire to sell on the part of growers. Prices asked for lambs range from $3 to $5, which is a decidedly high figure com pared with prices in the past. According to Mr. Stevens, there is such a strong local demand for lambs that an outside buyer has little opportunity. Parties having winter range may buy lambs in the fall, run them through the winter and then sell them after shearing. By such a course the grower de rives the benefit from the growth of the sheep and from the wool clip. Eastern buyers sell the sheep as mutton after running them through the winter. But as there is no scarcity of winter range in this section now the growers here are doing tbe same thing in many instances with the result that the price of lambs is elevated. As the federal quarantine has now been practically raised in this state, it is much easier for sheep to be sold out of the state. At present all sheep must be inspected by federal men, bat unless actually found afflicted, with scab the sheep do not have to be dipped. East Oregonian. Bad Symptoms.

A farmer near Laidlaw tells of the presence ot uew on crops wcere in pre vious years there was none.
