The popular price drug store. '

ing to work at prices ranging from
12.21, to 82.75 per day. If he desires
to go to Alaska he can readily obtain
81 a day more than the figures quoted.
The wages named are for common
laborers. Skilled help, such as bridge
men, splkers, carpenters, etc., can
command a much higher scale of
wages. In the employment agencies
the fee for these positions has been
reduced to 60 cents and If a man has
not the money It will not coat him one
cent to secure work. Furthermore,
he will be given free transportation
to the scene of his labors and will be
furnlnhed with good board at reason
able rates.
Such is the condition of the labor
market In Portland today, according
to statements given out by employ
ment agents and railroad contractors.
Millmen and .timber-men are also
complaining of a scarcity of help and
the wages offered to men are far
higher than they have been In recent
years.
SELECT OOI SEED.
Government Has Just Completed Val
uable Experiments.
J. W. T. Duvel, of the federal bu
reau of plant Industry, who has con
cluded a series of exhaustive investi
gations Into the seed corn problem,
announces these conclusion, says the
Livestock World:
Approximately 15.000.000 bushels of
corn are required for seed every year
In the United States.
The yield depends largely on the
vitality of the seed planted.
Make your own germinating box
and test the vitality of every ear of
corn before plantli g.
The time required for Individual
ear tests Is very Utile; 12 or 1.1 ears
will furnish enough weed to plant one
acre.
Count the sprouts very carefully:
any car falling to show 100 per cent
of good sprouts should be rejected.
Of 3322 ears tested. 1906, or more
than one-half were unfit for seed
These samples were taken from ears
picked for seed by good, careful far
mers, and arc evidently much above
the average.
Field tests have shown thnt seed of
strong vitality will produce the larg
est yield of corn.
' Granting that the samples tested
are representative of the present sup
ply of seed corn, the testing of every
ear and the subsequent rejection of
poor ears will Increase the stand 13.7
per cent.
An Increased stand of 13.7 per cent
would mean an Increased annual yield
of 20K.14O,6!r bushels, with n value
of $100,739, 912. 91, calculated on the
average yield and price for the last
10 years.
Just think of it! Had these pre
cautions been taken the American
corn grower would have been annual
ly In receipt of 100 million dollars
more money thnt he Is at present
pocketing. Isn't the seed question
worth considering?

WILL OIL TRACKS.

snnco Between Pendleton and Alto
Hill.
In order to obviate the dust nui
sance on the Spokane branch of the
O. R. A N.. that system will oil the
tracks between this city and Alto Hill,
In Washington, this spring.
The appropriation for the oil has
already been allowed and work will
begin within a few weeks on the new
plan. This Is one of the moBt dusty
sectlonr of the O. R. & N. system and
it Is thought that a few applications
of crude oil will entirely eliminate
the dust nuisance. It Is the Intention
of the company to ballast the track
of the Washington division next year,
but It Is Impossible to do any ballast
ing this season because of the Im
mense amount of work being done on
the main line between Baker City and
Huntington.

While making preparations to draw
thtlr show to a close yesterday after
noon, Messrs. Read and Corbln, of

Is an Iron pillar with a base of similar
material. During the nfternoon Mr.
Read chanced to lean against the
pillar, while at the same time his foot
rested on the base. Instantly he re
ceived a shock that nearly floored
him. Just how the pole became
charged is not known, but It is pre
sumed It became connected with the
electric wires In some manner.
About the same time the rlnstadt of

was necessary to enrry the machine to
the street to extinguish the flames.
In doing so the picture throwing ma
chine was badly damaged, and It was
necessary to close the show.

The East Oregonlan Is in receipt of
a letter from a regular patron of Fra
rer theater, censuring the owners for
not repnlrshg it nnd making It a flrst
elass place of amusement In every
way. Public sentiment Is very strong
in favor of a new and larger theater
building and as Pendleton Is an excel

some effort will be made to erect n
modern theater building. Several
projects have been talked of during
the past year looking toward a new
building and It Is hoped that seme of
them may take form before the thea

makes the same claim.

Irrigation Development In the Vicinity
of Lewlston.
Lewlston, May 15. Main canals six
miles long, with 14 miles of laterals,
are Included In the Crow Creek sys
tem, upon which work has recently
been started. The dam, originally In
tended to be 35 feet high, will be in
creased to 40 feet. Both the canal
system and the dam are expected to
be finished by October 1. ,
Water rights are all sold, and the
flow will be sufficient this year to Ir
rigate 2000 acres. There is to be In
cluded under the system 6500 acres.
Bromus grass, oats, Canadian peas
and sugar beets will be planted on a
tract of 180 acres, being prepared
under the direction of a Mr. Perkins.
The altitude Is 6000 feet It Is be
lieved that sugar beets will thrive

do as well as In Colorado.

STOPPAGE OF RAILROAD WORK.
Attributed 1 to Heat and Scarcity of
Laborers.
"The heat and the scarcity of labor
Is responsible for .the closing of the
camps on the Lewistnn-Riparia work,"
said Contractor S. B. Kolb, to a Lew

the city last night from Diamond
Crossing, where one portion of his
work has been located.
"It will be uphill work to do much
along Snake river during the summer
and on account of the great demand
for labor it Is out of the question to
secure white men to do railroad work
under the summer conditions.
