Scarcity of Farm Labor. The farmers of the Middle West are facing a famine in farm hands. Work in the country today offers a young man the best opportunity that has been pre sented for a score - of years. The best wages, excellent living and the most privileges that have been held out for years are now at command of a strong man who would take a sum trier's job amid rural surroundings. Farmers assert that there is a dearth oi iarm neip mat tney have not experi enced for some time. The trouble is that the farmers' sons have either gone away to school, have taken np various callings in towns or have gone west to new fields. During the first two weeks of March oi eacn year tne agriculturists are ac customed to hire their help for the forth coming season, but np to this time it sbeen well nigh impossible to find any one to whom higher wages are any kind of an inducement. In past years, farm hands have commanded (15 to 18 a month, with board. This year they are commanding $23 a month, board, washing and certain privileges about the farm, but .even these induce ments do not bring the desired help. . There are various reasons given for this scarcity of farm help, but there is no doubt that the railroads are respon sible in a measure. Some roads are em ploying a large number of men on con struction work and in their shops, but a much larger number have beenjtaken to new farming countries. The Mississippi River. Memphis, Tenn., March 18. The river stands at 39.6 feet - this morning and is stationary. The levees continue to hold and only one break is reported in the St. Francis system, that at Trice Landing 20 miles north of heie. The waters are rushing through this crevice at a furi ous rate and flooding the Arkansas basin south. The town of Marian in Critenden County, is in desperate straits and its in habitants are trreatly alarmed at the rapid encroachment of the flood. Hun dreds of refugees are in Marian and every available building is being need to Loose them. The Frisco Railroad, which runs through the town, is under water. Keports ot loss oi U!e in two cases can be verified. The body of an un known white woman waa found in the water near Mound City and the body of a negro was taken from the oret flowed district. Tbe levee here is crowded with poor negroes who were picked op by steam' boats. Tbe city authorities bave turned over several buildings for their use. A dispatch from Covington states that Island 35 which is considered one of the highest in the North end of the river, is flooded for the first time in its history, Sixty persons were rescued from the is land this morning by a steamer. Reports from Helena state that the people of North Helena are alarmed Tbe levee before that part of the town will bold one foot more of water. The Huntington leeve in Bolivar Coun ty, Miss., continues to bold. The railroad situation west of the river is probably the most serious ever experi enced by the lines. No trains are mov ing in or out of Memphis on the 'Frisco, Iron Mountain, Choctaw and Cotton Belt lines. The Union Depot is crowded with passengers bound for Western points. The Cotton Belt will run two trains to Cairo on the Illinois Central tracks tonight, and send its passengers around the flooded district. The Iron Monntain has chartered a boat and pas eengers will be taken to Helena and sent to their destinations from them. Half the battle in good cooking, is to have good fresh Groceries, and to get them promptly when on order them. Call np 'Phone No.' 181, for go goods and good service. C. W. PARKS & CO.

Macdonald. livinz at 166 North Tenth street, met with a horrible death this morning, being crashed into a shapeless mass by piling intended to be used in the construction of Hey wood Bros . warehouse, on Tenth and Irving streets. At the Irving-street corner is a lot of piling, each timber being fully 50 feet long and a foot in 'diameter. It has been the custom for small boys to congregate there for the purpose of play ing games and hiding in and about the piling. This morning young Macdonald and his companions came as usual. Up and down the piling they scrambled when suddenly the topmost timbers be gan to roll. The boys seemed to realize their danger, for as quickly as possible hey got oat of harm's way ; that is, all except Macdonald. He moved too slow- y and was caught by one of the logs. when another step would have placed him out of harm's way. Two Years for Stent. Sfocaxk, Wash., March 19. Frank Stena, who ran over W. Ht Orton, near Cheney, and instantly killed him, has been sentenced to a term of two years in the state penitentary at Walla Walla. This is the second time that he baa been given this same sentence. After the sentencing the first time the case was appealed and waa finally sent back to this court to be retried. Stents was con ricted of manslaughter. He with three or four other men wore driving in a heavy lumber wagon along the road near Cheney, when they ran over Orton who waa riding a wheel. After killing the man they did not stop their team, but went on through the town and then to their homes. To Lay Heavy Rails. Several carloads of the new RO-pound rails recently received in Portland from Germany, have been unloaded at tunnel 8, Northern Josephine County. Tunnel 8 is the longest of all the tunnels along the Southern Pacific lines in Oregon, and the track of this tunnel will be tbe firat to be replaced by the new and heavy steel rails. These rails are 33 feet in length and weigh 880 pounds. Many other of these rails will be brought in soon, and tbe mountain division of the Southern Pacific in Oregon will have an entirely new track. Many of the sharp curves arS being taken out and the road otherwise improved. New Immigration Passed. Important changes in the immigration laws of this country went to the Presi dent on March 3d and received his sig nature. They will go into effect on June 3d of this year. Besides the changing of the per cnj.ita tax -on all immigrants from $1 to 2, it is now unlawful to bring any alien not admitted by an im migrant inspector. Any alien violating this law or found to be a public charge can be deported within two years of his landing. The old law said one year. According to the new law the Board of Inquiry shall consist of three members instead of four, as formerly provided The following additions to the excluded classes were made : "Epileptlce, persons who bave been insane within five years previous, per sons who bave had two or more attacks of insanity at any time previously, pio- fessional begjars, anarchists or persons who believe za. or advocate the over throw by force or violence of tbe Gov ernment of tne United States or of all government or of all forms of law or the assassination of public officials; im Otora! purposes; those who have been aitbin one year from the date of the ap plication for admission to the United States, reported as being under offers, solicitations, promises or agreements to perform services of any kind in the United States." NEWS OF THE COUNTY. As Gleaned by our Corps of Correspondents. Special Democratic Objection. Washixotox, March 1. Tbe Senate met at 11 o'clock today and soon Money (Miss.) in accordance with his notice pre viously given, spoke on the Indianola, Miss., poetoffice case. Money said it was the doty of the Postmaster-General to heal tbe breach that had been created. Tbe department had made the people of the South hate tbe administration. "Tbe people of the South hoped Mr. Rooeevelt would be an American Presi dent," he said, "but instead he is presi dent of the black belt." His appointments, be said, had caused general disgust. He had raided tbe question of social equality of the negro. Mr. Money said recent appointments have revived the race question. The South has tolerated negro oQice-holders, but doea not want anv more of them. "This is a white man's country and government. There was a feeling in the South, he said, that no colored GtSce. man s!ould hold Stockmen Will Complete Orjrniiato Saturday. As per appointment the con.imltee on constitution and bylaws, comi'OFrd of Geo. Owen. Wei born Beeon, f !. Barron, D. II. Jackson and Grant Ralirj, met at Ashland Saturday, and drafted a con stitution and bylaws for the anceiation. Another meeting will be held at Med- ford Saturday, March 21st, at 10 o'clock m., of all stockmen interested, to elect permanent officers and complete the organisation. Most stockmen live in isolated dis tricts, remote from railroad aud tele graphic communication, an 1 from a mere lack of knowledge are quite often deceived by the better pop Us! bnyer. The cost to members is low, cornered with the benefits to be derived, and the more members the less the cnet will be to each. Every man, or woman either, who are at all interested in livestock, should be at the meeting Saturday and become members of the association. There is every reason to believe that the organization of stockmen will prove of great value to Southern Oregon. General News Notes. Indian Burial Grounds.. The most ancient burial grounds in Southern California are about to be the bone of contention between Indians and the Riverside Water Company. It is part of the vast tract bought by the company and fenced off for pasturage growth, which has increased its value until now, where the cemetery is located, realty is ia demand for building lots and the company has decided to place it on the market. Heretofore the Indians have quietly submitted, but as the graves are threat ened with obliteration they have sought legal advice, with the result that a suit is being prepared to quiet the company's title, the Indians contending that the long existence of their gravevard estab lished their ownership to at least so much of the property as is occupied by the cemetery. They have also drawn a pe tition to present to President Roosevelt on his arrival there next May, praying that the property be reserved for Indian burial purposes. .

The strike at the reduction works at Colorado Springs, Colo., has caused sympathetic strikes and now union and non-union workmen are lined np with no appearance of settlement. The greaser republics of Soutlt Amer ica are involuting again and this time it is in Uruguay, where it is said 8,000 rebels are advancing to attack Monte video. The railroad has been destroyed and the government is unable to stop the rebellion. All indications point to a general up rising ot the .Macedonians ana Bulgari ans against Turkish rule just as soon as spring weather ia fully assured. Russia and Austria are trying to keep the two small powers in check, but a revolution is liable to break out at any time. Bishop Bonacum excommunicated a Roman Catholic priest by the name of Father Murphy and then brought civil suit to dispossess the priest of the church and parsonage at Seward, Neb., The district court awarded the property to the priest and upon appeal by the bishop, the supreme court of Nebraska confirmed the judgment of the district court. Surveyor General Eagleson, of Boise, Idaho, undertook to freese the chief clerk who hsd been sent from Washing ton out of his office. Several appeals were made by the clerk to the land office at Washington and a short time ago Land Commissioner Richards wrote a letter to Eagleson and since the re ceipt of the letter Eagkson has virtu ally eaten his own dirt. The blowhard blustering bully has been turned into a cringing official.
