A Dollar a Day and Board la DetUred Wage Scale. . It Is reported that there is a move ment on the part of the farmers and orchardista throughout the northwest to keep down wages for farm work to the level of a dollar a day and board This is the rate prevailing at the pres ent time, but it Is exceedingly doubt fu! if any plan to prevent wages rais ing as spring advances will succeed. Last year at 'times the rate of wages went to 12.50, and even $3 per day, and Just as soon as the demand for labor Incraeses, and the crops have to be harvested, the men will be able to command a more adequate wage. There Is a feeling abroad that fruit will not command the high prices that were offered last year. This is due to the talk following the' financial flurry of the winter, and while It may have some effect upon prices for all kinds of produce, It is -not likely that the market for fruit will fall below the figures, which mean very hand some profits for the orchsrdlsts. In Baker county the farmers will re joice to return to the conditions of a few years ago, when it wag no trouble to get all the men wanted to work on the farm at II per day, but they are unmindful of the fact that low wages as a rule are accompanied by low prices for farm produce. . The good prices farmers have en Joyed for the past several years has Justified higher. wages, but the aver age cannot understand It that way. It Is a poor rule that don't work both Relieved of Ills Money. Some time about midnight last night George W. Hewitt, a well known citizen of North Powder, was relieved of his pocketbook and $40 was taken from it, says the Baker City Herald. J F. Byrnes and Frank Dudley are now confined In the county Jail on the charge of having taken the money. Mr. Hewitt was in the Bar saloon and during the evening had been talk ing with two men. They knew he had the money and by some means they managed to take his pocketbook from his Inside coat pocket wtlhout Mr, Hewitt or any one else In the saloon being aware of the fact. It fs supposed that they went out Into the street and searched the pocketbook, taking from It about $40, but overlooking a $20 bill. One of them then rurned and threw the book In the water closet, for it wag found there Just after his departure. ; ' The' man who had been "touched" soon missed his wallet and the police were notified. Suspicion attached so strongly to the two men that they were arrested and will probably have to sland trial. . One of the men was caught at the Mint saloon spending money very freely and when searched had more than $30 on him. The other one was captured at the "Nugget, but a search this morning old not reveal any money on his person. A $5 gold piece was found in the Jail this morn ing and It is supposed he tried to get rid of it. Xced Xot Dip Klicrth At a called meeting of the board of sheep commissioners held in Pendle ton Saturday a proclamation was Is sued declaring the annual dipping for the spring of 1908 is unnecessary and need not be observed. It is urged, however, that' so far as . possible, sheep be dipped as a preventative of possible scab Infection and for ticks. According to the reports made by State Sheep Inspecotr Lytle and Dr. S. W. McClure, head of the bureau of animal Industry In the northwest, the state Is practically free from scab. A few cases were reported In the Wil lamette valley early In the winter, but these have been all attended to. There have been no cases anywhere In the state which have not received prompt attention as soon as reported. A resolution was also passed favor ing a bounty law for the state of Ore gon, holding that such a law Is neces sary and .expedient for the "protection of the sheep industry. The commis sion will use Its best endeavors to se cure the pasasge of such a law at the next seslson of the legislature. Pen dleton Tribune. ItlLACK A STRONG WALK Eft.
