Tho cluinren for the use of all idle nu n In this section look very un favorable, unless the cutting force1. in the legging camps are greatly increased. Some "of tho men hunting work say they have been informed by contractors and otherH that more men would be used shortly after tiiu first of tho new year. 1 I hiring Ihe season when many local men were employed by farmer.-; in the harvest field, the short age of labor was keenly felt in the woods. It was at this season when niativ inon from the southern j -states came to the northwest in (.search of work, finding work ot Jail kinds plentiful, in the camps, and nearly any when they cared to work. Xalurally when the. fall work on the ranches was finished ' the number of men was in excess ui joiif. Very few farmers are attempt ing to hire any nt this season of Hit; year, about all tho work be ing done on the farms jire the gen eral chores, and looking after and feeding stock.
