Work on the north coast road Is ex
pected to start up on an extensive
scale within the next two months.

N. and the Huntington extension of
the Oregon Short Line are all ex
pected to start up In a short time to
gether with the Lewlston and Rlparia
branches of the O. R. A N., and this
will probably clean up the labor mar
ket and leave a shortage of men.
The camps along the Milwaukee
road between Spokane and Missoula

better work. Austrlans are said to
give a great deal of trouble and for
this reason few contractors will em
ploy them unless there la a shortage
of men.
In the downtown section of the city
there are many foreigners out of
work, but It Is claimed that many of
these do not desire work at the pres
ent time, preferring to wait until
spring when outdoor work will be
much easier.
Common laborers In construction
camps are now being paid. 12 and
12. B0 per day which Is 75 cents less
than was being paid for the same class
of work six months ago. With the
opening up of work In the spring It
Is believed that the contractors will
be compelled to secure men..
There Is reported to be very little
demand for help of any kind In Spo
kane, and ther are generally several
applicants for every position where
unskilled labor Is being sought for.

Krhool Boy.
In a letter 'recently received by Mrs.
Fred King of this city from Llewelyn
Thomason, a former La Grande school
boy, now residing In Seatte, In de
HTlblng the Seattle spirit writes a
follows:
That you may understand the Seat
tle spirit better. I will tell you the
following story of It:
"It Is said that the Seatte splrl
appeared at the gates of heaven and
asked for admission, but St. Peter
refused It. Then the Seattle spirit
went to tho other place and was also
refused admittance there. Then St.
Peter and the other fellow decided to
flip a coin to see which should take
the spirit, but when St. Peter tossed
the dollar In the air the Seattle spirit
grabbed It and ran away and has never
showed up at either place since."
