Hynes arrived In Portlsnd yesterday

since in hunting up ball money.
To all appearance the case presents

a broker for the Puclfio Lumber Fur

indicted men held interests, and may
have bean Aieed aa a catapaw. Anyhow,
Hedderley deposited hi ball money yes

out that he waa - unable to raise the
necessary amount and slept at the Ore

That Hedderley did not helo out hla

greatest question confronting the Pa-
clflo northwest wa in securing labor
t 11.10 and $1.71 a day to clear th
agebruah land' and mek tt ready -for
Irrigation.
"Tb greatest - phenomenon of th
.present day. said Dr. Hlllls, ; "I th
great nood or Immigration from low.
Illinois and other middle west tate t
the sagebrush land in 'eastern Oregon
and Wsshington. It Is - composed of
farmer of the first class who hav come
to Invest In thla wonderful land which
they can buy now tor a few dollar and
eultlvat into land worth eeverel hun
dred dollar an acre. . " v
- XmpoMibl to Secure &ao -"But
to my mind, th question which
confronts tb settler I In securing
cheap labor to do the work of testing
out the sagebrush and making the land
fit for cultivation. In New Tork there
land every year 1.000.000 Immigrant
who ar worth a much to aaaura peo
ple ss so many Corliss angina. Tho
Immigrant never get west of th Mis
souri river. They flow Ilk a stream to
th desert land and ar absorbed by
th vast commercial Intereata beror
they cross th mountain.
"They ar aa Intelligent claaa. and
ar th flower of th countries from
w hlchthey . coma. They. Ar. the . peo
ple the northwest want. They will d
th work cheap and do it well
"The finest speech 1 have beard in tne
past Ave year wa mad by an Italian
who had lived in thi country but ttv
year. The scholar of tb New Tork
schools are sons and daughter Of these
Immigrants. They come principally
from the Russian. Hebrew and Italian
race and tak th leading prises In
scholarship awarded by th school.
Xaualfratloa Xlaaa4vtooo.
"In New Tork I was told but recently
by a high Russian official who had seen
a boatload of Immigrant com In that
they were th pick of the province from
which they came and that they were th
people that Russia and Austria were
trying to keep at home. They are th
clae of Immigrant w ar receiving In
New York every year and a vest num
ber of people in tnis country nave
misunderstanding aa to tb quality of
man and woman who ar coming into
thl country. Tbey are th kind the
northwest want. .
-Baltimore, . Charleston and other
southern oltle ar building steamship
to engage in trad with Europe for th
purpose of attracting .immigrant ' to
their cities. Th average standard of
education 1 higher In the Pacific north
west than anywhsr els and It la th
class that will not gat dowa to the
earth and pull sarebruab or handle th
garden track. What - th northwest
want I a class of intelligent, active,
brainy men and women who ' will do
that cheap work at a low price and th
only way to get them I to get some
of th immigrant that land in New
Tork." --- '
