Tha school has been established but a short time, but has already made remarkable progress In educating the children of xoreign parents, oorn zor tne most part In Russia and driven to America by tha persecutions or the Slavs. Rabbi Jbnah B. Wise was the flrat speaker, and was followed by P. F. Rogoway, who distributed the honors In connection with the writing of the scroll. Rabbi J.

WE NEED IS MORE -PEOPLE - : as Good Wages. Short Hours. Good Pood.. Permanent Employment. Nearly Every Department of Industry Suffering for Want of Labor. In TTLKaj localities throughout Oregon farmers are compelled tp go out and help each other harvest tfctir crops because unable to hire laborers. Sraajtl manufacturing establishments in different parts of the state, such as sawmills, flour mills, planing mills, canneries, Dines, etc., are unable to work to their full capacity, although paying the highest scale of wages ever known, because they can not get the necessary help. . N , Hop growers and prune growers in the Willamette vsHey are scouring the country for pickers. Both are offering the high est wages ever paid, for that class of labor. Hop pickers will get $1.10 per 100 pounds. Prune pickers 7 cents per bushel, or at the rate of $WS0 per day for expert pickers. , " Railrcd cortractors are bidding against one another to secure workmen. Common labor commands $8.00 per day with steady employment. Good axe-men command $8.00 per day. Seven or eight thousand men can easily find work in the railroad camps of the Northwest. Government reclamation work is most seriously crippled by the scarcity of labor. The chief engineer of the service makes k the statement that 100 more men and manv teams are needed in the Klamath project alone. x The Deschutes region, which is one of the wonders of the Northwest as an agricultural producer, is suffering for help. Progress on the Deschutes irrigation plant is fatally retarded for want of labor. Central Oregon, the most attractive section in the United State's today for the pioneer home builder, needs men. Land there is cheap and abundant. Much is yet available for homesteading, and can be obtained for almost nothing. It is not desert land, as many suppose. It is fertile and fabulously productive. Thousands upon thousands of acres will produce good crops without irrigation, and with intelligent cultivation, can be made into valuable farms. A voung min with a team and a feiy dollars in money can go into that country now and by diligent work in a few years have a farm worth anywhere from $2,000 to $8,000. Those who go first will have the best chances. "Railroads and other means of development are sure to follow, 'and the a a". a A . mi . sooner tne aemana tne sooner tney win oe ouut.
