All the delegates present at the la bor meeting gave their warm support to the proposed crusade. The sub ject was Introduced by Charles D.

With such data In hand, he asserted, a "boycott" against adulterated goods might eas ily be made effective. CHICAGO WHEAT MARKET. Quotation From the Greatest Wheat Center In the World.

Whole Enterprise Means Little Direct and Immediate Benefit to Local Business Interests, as the Contractors Manage to Monopolize the Trade Ties and Bridge Timber Are IniKrtcd. "There are now 1000 men at work on the Northern Pacific north bank road between The Dalles and Cascade Locks," said J. H. Punlap, of the Wind River Lumber company, this morning. Also, Mr. Dunlap states there is even more than that number now at work this side The Dalles, many being opposite Arlington. Be tween the Cascades and Vancouver little Is being done now excepting surveys, as the route has not yet been determined. According to Mr. Dunlap the large number of workmen on the north side of the river has little effect on the towns In the vicinity, as the men are supplied with nearly everything by the contractors. He declares thnt the St. Paul contracting firm which has general charge of the work makes Its money more from furnish ing supplies than from actual con struction work. They ship practically everything from St. Paul and own the steamers that distribute the freight to the camps along tho river. Even the ties and bridge timber are shipped In from other plnees, so the mills along the Columbia derive little good from the work now In progress. Practically all of the men employed In the construction work are shipped out from St. Paul. They are given the trip free provided they will go to work for the company, and hun dreds of men are being sent out on this basis. However. Mr. Dunlap says many of the men merely take advantage of the offer to get the free trip and quit work after a few days, declaring they are dissatisfied. They then seek work In the mills and other industries In the neighborhood. The Wind River Lumber company, of which Mr. Dunlap Is the head, has branch yards In five eastern Oregon town Pendleton. Echo, Irrtgon, Mo ro and Grass Valley. It Is upon a visit to the local branch, tht Oregon Lum- OVER MEN 1 EMPLOYED SWITZLER RANGE TO BE DESCRIBED Most Picturesque Horse Range in the World Subject for a Syndicate Article.
