INDUSTRIAL GROWTH
FARMERS IN SORE
FIX FOR LABOR
Fields Are Idle, While Towns
Are Busy With "Bums"
and Drunks.
FRUIT DROPS FROM TREES
Workers Few and Lazy, Wages Are
High and Employers In Country
Turn Toward New Supply
of Allen Hands.
THE DALLES, Or., July 28. (Special
Correspondence.) "Mister, I'm up against
It; can't you help me with a little
money?"
Such was the Question put to a stranger
In this city yesterday, by the first per
son who spoke to him. The needy man
was well dressed and evidently well fed
and able bodied.
Meanwhile farmers throughout Wasco
County are "up against if for help In
field, orchard and barn. They have
scoured the town of The Dalles and the
surrouding country for men to do their
work. Fruit is falling from their trees
for want of pickers, and a thousand op
portunities to make money are neglected
for lack of hands. Farmers see things
to do all about them and can't do them.
All this time there are citizens In The
Dalles idling In saloons and "bumming"
street corners. Improvident as the grass
hopper that sings the Summer long, while
his friend the ant toils. A prominent
citizen tells the writer that this town con
tains perhaps 200 or 300 such citizens and
transients.
Other Towns Have Them, Too.
The Dalles is not the only town with
such inmates. Portland has them by the
hundreds. Many specimens of them adorn
its plaza block. They Idle while others
toll. They sit on the grass or on the Iron
benches and discuss nothings about the
weightest subjects of the country. They
litter the plaza with old papers. Where
they sit they seem to leave a scourge, for
the grass is turning brown. Closed town,
tariff and Jap war are very Absorbing
topics for this gentry but not work.
The Dalles has a miniature colony of
these gentlemen. They flock In from the
wide expanse of Wasco County and even
from the outside. But it Is too much to
say, perhaps, that this town is distin
guished by them more than others In Ore
gon. Medford has Its quota; so have Ore
gon City, Hlllsboro, Salem and Rose
burg theirs. Yet It Is brought to the no
tice of a newcomer in The Dalles rather
forecfut when the first question asked
of him comes from a well-dressed, well
fed person who Is "up against It," and
who, If In rags or wearing a lean and
hungry look, would be called a beggar.
Hard Question for Farmers.
The labor question is a terrific one for
the farmer. He knows not where to look
for men to help till his soil, mow his
hay, milk his cows and harvest his fruit
and grain. He cannot clear his land.
Firewood costs him dear, Just as his city
neighbors, and Is scarce at that', even
though the hills are shaggy with trees.
It Is a brave farmer who will plant
strawberries. It means that he will have
to work his fingers off to do the labor of
several men. He cannot see where his
labor Is going to come from. It Is a moot
question with him and his neighbors
The men he can get are scarce and high
priced and lazy. They are paid 32.25 to
S3 a day and don t do a day's labor. Bucn,
at least, Is the plaint of the farmer. Said
one of them yesterday:
"The men don't work. They just
dawdle. They come to us for a few
days and then are off for somewhere
else. We work alongside them, to
show them what to do, but have to
work harder than they.
"Just about the time they have
learned to do things the way we want
them, they come up saying: "Well, I
guess I'll have to go to town to buy
some clothes. So they draw what s
coming to them, perhaps $20, and put
off to town.
"There more likely than not they
are fleeced by men and women who
make a living at that business. They
may then come back to us, but prob
ably will go somewhere else. Now,
when they ask for their money, what
are we going to do about It? We
can't refuse. The money Is owing
them. They have a right to demand
and get It. We need their labor, un
satisfactory though it is. So we give
them the money, hoping they will come
back after blowing It in.
No Hands to Pick Fruit.
Near this town Is a fine orchard of
peach plums, Just ripe. The fruit Is
the peer- of the best ever produced. In
Portland -markets, consumers would
have to pay high prices for It. What
is the owner doing with It? Letting
the plums drop from the trees and rot.
Now. there are many orchards In Ore
gon like that. The owners can't do
anything with the fruit, because un
able to find hands to pick It.
On one side of the orchard runs the
railroad. Along that railroad many men
go trooping every day, some on brake
beams, others looking for opportunity for
that mode of travel. If those men would
pick the plums for the owner, he would
pay them $2.50 a day wages. But what
do they do Instead? Strip the trees near
est the track. Jump the fence nimbly
to feast themselves. The fruit Is so
abundant that they can l.nd all they
want right near the track. In conse
quence, they are saved the labor of
walking further Into the orchard. In
quest of plums. Beside the track - long,
soft grass, beaten down by their lying
upon It. They rest there every day and
night. One of them left behind an empty
whisky flask. Their predecessors had
done that often.
Little Solace for Farmers.
The farmer does not find much solace
In the future promise of more hands. He
can t see where they are coming from.
The European Immigrants, on the At
lantic seaboard, they think, are too far
away to reach Oregon In large numbers.
Besides, they won't go into the harvest
fields, at least, in sufficient numbers.
They crowd the cities.
On the Pacific seaboard Chinese are ex
cluded and Japanese are not just the la
borers farmers want. Farmers all agree
that Chinese are more satisfactory than
Japs. The latter are sharp and tricky
and ready to take advantage of their em
ployers.
Farmers Behold the labor scarcity with
grave concern. They are trying to figure
out a way. In their own minds, for admls
sion of Chinese laborers, perhaps In
limited numbers, afterward to be de
ported. But that Is a detail of the plan
they would like to see worked out. It
means a great deal to the producers of
potatoes to pay $2.50 a day for labor.
But it means a great deal also to con
sumers in the city, because producers of
course must add to the price in order to
pay for the labor. There might be more
potatoes If there were more labor. And
then, prices might be lower, too. It's a
very hard oroblem. Owners of land would
be engaging in many new or extended
enterprises, could they be sure of obtain
ing a supply of working hands.
LABOR SCARCE IN LINN COUNTY
Wages Higher Than Ever Before.
Threshing Begins Monday.
ALBANY. Or.. July 28. (Special.)
Wheat threshing will begin in Linn Coun
ty Monday morning. Binders have been
running in all parts of the County the past
week and several threshing outfits will be
gin the season's run next week. Two-
threshing outfits are now at work in tnis
vicinity, but they are threshing barley.
They will begin on wheat crops next Mon
day and several other crews will also go
to work that day both east and south
of this city.
Grain will come Into Albany more
slowly this year than ever before. Be
cause of the scarcity of men all the
farmers, as well as their boys, will be
forced to work with the threshing crews
and there will be no one to haul in the
grain. The bulk of the crop, therefore.
will not be brought to the warehouses
until the threshing season Is practically
completed. Of course a little grain will
be housed here as - soon as threshed.
Wages for threshing crews are higher this
season than they have been for years.
Two dollars a day and board are the
lowest wages paid for any kind of labor
around a machine and generally the
wages average about $2.50 per day. A few
years ago men In the harvest crews re
ceived $1.25 to $1.50 a day and board.
MILK CONDENSER Y TO BE
STARTED BY NOVEMBER 15.
Stock All Subscribed Locally, and
No Trouble Is Found in Get
ting Investors to Take Hold.
ALBANY. Or.. July 2?. (Special.) A
$40,000 milk condensing plant will be in
operation In Albany before November 15.
It will be the biggest plant of the kind
on the Pacific Coast, and It will be Al
bany's largest Industry.
For the establishment of this plant $52.-
500 In stock has already been subscribed.
It Is strictly a local enterprise, for all
of the stock has been taken by Linn and
Benton County people. VV ith directors
elected and plans on foot for the. begin
ning of work, enthusiasm has been
aroused thoroughly here and as much ad
ditional stock as will be desired can be
secured in Albany or other towns of the
county. The directors have decided to
leave the books open until $75,000 worth
of stock Is sold, the stock to be sold only
to local people. The company is capi
talized at $100,000, but $25,000 worth of the
stock will not be sold unless It Is needed
for development.
Efforts are now being devoted to the
selection of a site for the plant, and a
choice will be made at a meeting to be
held next Saturday. August 8. With the
selection of the site, work will begin at
once. Three places are now under con
sideration, the now deserted buildings or
the United Organ & Carriage Factory,
near the Corvallis ot Eastern roundhouse;
the location of the burned woolen mills,
and the site of the old Sugar Pine Sash
& Door Factory, destroyed by fire three
years ago, the latter two being on the
Willamette River and a Southern Pacific
switch. All of these sites are well lo
cated for transportation facilities. The
executive committee of the board of di
rectors consisting of E. W. Langdon,
Senator Frank J. Miller and C. G. Baw
llngs, is in charge of the selection of a
site.
Five thousand cows of Linn and Benton
Counties are now listed to supply milk
for this plant the first year. Twice that
number have been promised by the farm
ers of the two counties for the second
year, If the plant proves as successful
as anticipated and prices are paid for
milk as expected. Not only will the con
densery be Albany's largest industry and
help this city's manufacturing resources
but It will be a great boon to the farmers
of this vicinity who will provide the milk
to supply it. The fact that all of the
stock was subscribed by the people of
Albany and the country tributary to It.
and that it was accomplished within a
remarkably short time, speaks well for
the enterprise of the city and county. A
desire for more and larger manufactur
ing Industries has been apparent here for
some time, and all that was needed was
to convince people that Albany was an
Ideal location for such a plant and that
the condensery gave reasonable evidence
of proving a successful industry

IN STATE OF OREGON
ALASKA TO SAVE
GOAL SITUATION
Washington Mines Becoming
Rapidly Exhausted, Say
Experts.
LAST BUT A FEW YEARS
Inroads Made on Coal Fields and
Indiscriminate Deliveries Cause
Prediction That Imports
Will Soon Be Necessary.
SEATTLE, Wash., July 28. (Special.)
Upon the development of the vast
coal fields of Alaska depends the fuel
probler-' of the future. Washington's
coal deposits have been overestimated,
and within a half a decade the public
will know it. The assertion now is
based upon the confidential statements
of coal expert- and Is open to contra
diction. But it is an absolute fact that
the vast coal deposits of this state
spoken of enthusiastically are so badly
exaggerated that the public cannot un
derstand why there is a constant re
currence of the danger of a fuel famine.
In all Washington, coal experts have
found but one coal field that has not
b-en exploited and that is the Cowlitz
field in which Harrlman controls sev
eral thousand acres of coal lands and is
rapidly developing mines to supply the
O. R. & N. Comparatively little Is
known of these coal fields, and they
may prove to be far more extensive
than operators believe, but unless they
do, the end of the Washington collieries
can be figured by years. Four years
ago the Northern Pacific was notified
that the Roslyn field would be ex
hausted within 15 years. At that time
the Roslyn mines were lavishly dis
posing of fuel for domestic uses and
taklrrgr care of the railroad as a sec
ondary consideration. A year ago the
Roslyn mines suddenly cut off their
supp.y of domestic fuel and the coal
famine that startled the Northwest re
sulted. It is a matter of mathematical
calculation to figure the life of the
Roslyn district. All one has to do is
to take the fact that the Northern Pa
cific has been mining from one to one
and a half acres of ground a day and
figure it out for himself. Fifteen years
lease of ufe is a conservative estimate
for that district.
Northern Pacific Caused Famine.
Northern Pacific ambition to control
the coal market of the Northwest was
probably responsible for last year's
fuel famine. A few years ago the Hill
line was selling its coal Indiscrimi
nately, competing in Hawaii, San Fran
cisco and every coast point for trade.
A year or more ago operators on the
West Side wanted to know whether the
Northern Pacific was still a factor and
were told the road was. The warnlntr,
then three years old, that the North
ern Pacific had to husband its resources
had not been heeded. Had the Northern
Pacific CTiVen nnlir-p rxt l o
from the domestic fuel trade other
mines would have been opened, but up
to the last minute the Roslyn output
was figured as a factor in the West
Side fuel trade. Then the colliery was
closed against the domestic fuel busi
ness and the Northern Pacific mined its
colliery for its own needs, later yield
ing to the requirements of Eastern
Washington. But the repeated state
ment the Northern Pacific nH. ,.
coal is sincere and it is born of a re
cent aiscovery that the Northern Pa
cific coal fields are exhaustible within
a comparatively early period.
It is shown by the beSl coal experts
that the Pacific Coast Company's mines
in King County will be exhausted within
eight or ten veara. T. v that - v. .
2000 feet deep will have to be sunk to
oiriKB new veins or mining operations will
cease. Nearly everybody who has the
slightest inkling of the coal situation
knows the veins on the West Side are
broken and tha coal in many districts is
of little value. But the real situation Is
not eon PTA ! 1 V urnrafrin otA - i

Alaska to Be Salvation.
Alaska coal measures that have been
thoroughly tested by experts show there
is a possibility in at least two districts
that coal can he delivered from the North
at figures that would allow Alaska op
erators to compete with mines running
without impediments in this state. The
LOADING UP A HORSE HEAVEN WATER TANK FROM THE
Alaska Central Railroad will tap one coal
district, and a second In the Kayak coun
try will give coal superior to any found
west of the Alleghenies. In so far as a
critical examination of the country will
show, these fields alone will supply the
Northwest for an indefinite period, and
coal could be laid down in Portland from
mines In these two districts cheaper than
Portland Is getting coal right now.
But Secretary Garfield pointed out the
big disadvantage of Alaska coal opera
tions. At present the mining Jaws only
permit 180 acres to be taken up or pur
chased, and the locator must develop the
find he makes. It Is Impracticable to de
velop a 160-acre 'mine. In fact. It Is a
financial impossibility. Secretary Garfield
knows It. and he said so here. Unless
Congress will agree to modify this ancient
statute and permit hundreds of acres to
be grouped Into a mine the coal lands of
Alaska will not be developed. Secretary
Garfield said when he was here that a
fight had been made for several years to
secure that legislation, and he told state
officials in a public hearing that he would
renew a demand for new legislation to
permit the Alaska coal fields 'and those
of the Northwest to be developed. In
so far as this state is concerned, it does
not make so much difference, but if
Alaska is to come to the rescue and to be
a factor in beating down coal prices it
means a great deal whether Congress ac
cepts Secretary Garfield's recommendar
tlon.
DISCARD THE WATER WAGON
Horse Heaven Country Replacing It
With Drive Wells.
KIONA. Wash.. July 28. (Special.,
The water-hauling season is beginning
In Horse Heaven. During harvest the
water-wagons will be running con
stantly. Before the wheat-farmer's ad
vent, the Horse Heaven country may
have been worthy of its name. Bunch
grass covered that wide plateau up
reared from the desert of the Lower
Yakima Valley; and bands of wild
horses wandered in freedom. quench
ing their thirst at the springs they
knew of, or coming down to the river
for a dally drink. Now the Horse
Heaven plain Is divided Into wheat
farms, big and little. A number ot
artesian wells have been bored, but the
Yakima River still has to furnish most
of the water used on the farms, and
horse power is the only force available
to move It.
Any day during the Summer one
may see from four to a dozen water
wagons filling up their tanks from the
Yakima River at Kiona. Most of them
have six or eight horses attached, and
that is none too many, for the steep
three-mile pull up the grade. It takes
skillful driving and much profanity to
manage the teams of half-broken and
disgusted cayuses. Some of the driv
ers swear at their horses with vigor
and enthusiasm, others use a calmly
conversational tone: but all apparently
agree that a water-tank cannot be got
ten out of the river without strong
language. This laborious and primitive
method of obtaining water will soon be
a thing past and forgotten. The Horse
Heaven farmers are reaping a fine har
vest of wheat this year, and wheat is
going up. So the farmers are spending
some of their spare cash to drill wells
on their ranches, and by going deep
enough they can secure limitless quan
tities of water. The water-tank will
soon be known only as a memory.
PACKWOOD CANAIi PROJECT
Secrecy Maintained by Engineers
Mystifies Residents.
NORTH YAKIMA, Wash., July 28.
(Special.) The big power project now
In course of construction at the head
of Packwood Lake, in the Cascades, 75
miles from here, is well under way, and
some five miles of canal have already
been built. The undertaking is under
the supervision of R. Green and Dr. M.
Schuman. of Portland, and a splendid
outfit is on the ground. Everything
has to be taken in by pack train for
about 8U miles, over mountain trans,
but the arrangements at the camp are
In fine shape.
F. L. Johnson, of the Ivanhoe Mine,
whose camp is not far distant from the
work, reports that the greatest interest
is taken In the work at Packwood Lake
by the men of the hills and that the
wildest surmises are aroused by the
secrecy maintained by the engineer in
charge at Packwood and by others of
the staff. As a matter of fact tnere is
little doubt but that the Packwood
Lake project is part of tha vast schema
of the Northwestern Corporation,
floated some 18 months ago, and which
contemplates the development of power
and Its transmission throughout the
Northwest, the plant at Packwood be
fng designed for the transmission of
power to Portland and Seattle.
The project involves the construe
tlon of a canal 60 miles long from
Packwook Lake to a point above the
Cowlitz River, where at Snyder's Ranch
the power plant will be located. The
water at this point will have a fall of
1500 feet and win be capable or devel
oping 100,000 horsepower. Engineers
who are interested in power proposi
tions say that the corporation probably
has some new system for the transmis
sion of power, as at present about 150
miles is the greatest distance which
has been attained in successful trans
mission.

FOB TOILET AND BATH
It makes the toilet something to bs
enjoyed. It removes all stains and
roughness, prevents prickly heat and
chafing, and leaves the skin white,
soft, healthy. In the bath it brings
a glow and exhilaration which no
common soap can equal, imparting
the vigor and life sensation of a
mild Turkish bath. All Grocers and
