Referring once more to the sub
ject of employment agencies, a - it
was brought to the public notice
a few weeks ago since by the ex
pose of fraudulent practices in the
conduct of that business in Port
land, we would call attention to a
syetem that has been in successful
operation in a number of the large
cities of the East for some time.
The plan involves a municipal em
ployment bureau. Its most recent
adoption is noticed in Detroit,
Mich., where its results have been
eminently satisfactory to all con
cerned, ita operation affording a
dual benefit, the one to the com
munity in ridding the city of un
desirable characters who are not
looking for work, and the other af
fecting the fortune8 of the individ.
uni laborer who simply registers at
the municipal office, giving his ad
dress and the labor he is competent
to perform. The registration is at
all times open to those who are
seeking the services of others, with
the added advantage of no expense
to either party.
It has been found where this
system has been adopted that men
and women as well, who desire work
find little or no difficulty in secur
ing employment that will afford the
means of a livelihood; while, on the
other baud, the police authorities
have a somewhat Ireer hand with
the idle who bear the stamp of the
dissolute. It should be borne in
mind that as a city grows in popu
lation a certain percentage of the
latter will be of a floating character,
and the difficulty in bringing the
man aDd the job in conjunction in
creases under the methods that are
now in vogue. It is always the fact
that the greater portion of this
floatiug population is respectable,
but failure to find work for any con
siderable length of time tends to
subvert respectability, and it fol
lows that any movement that will
remove this difficulty cannot be oth
erwise than a direct benefit to the
municipality where it obtains.—

Is afforded by cash prizes amount
ing to $500, offered by Orange
Judd Farmer of Chicago, for the
best unsworn to tho question, what
are the advantages of this section?
Begin by telling when you settled
in your preseut home, how much
land you own, rent or work. Give
the value per acre of improved and
unimproved laud now and ten years
ago. Tell whether the land is tim
ber. Give an idea of the character
of the soil, whether it is sandy loam
or clay. Tell what kind of crops
you raise, how much and what kinds
of live stock, tho social, school and
church advantages, whether or not
fruit does well, and the kinds
most commonly grown. Is dairy
ing carried on to any extent, and if
so, what and any other items which
would interest prospective settlers
or people looking for homes, includ
ing a brief statement of how you
started and have prospered, if you
wish to do this later, though it is
not essential.
The contest is open to everyone
of thiB locality. Its purpose is to
ascertain the truth about this sec
tion from the actual experience of
practical farmers. It is part of a
comprehensive plan uudertaken by
the journal named to promote the
development of this region and in
crease the demand for and value
of farm property. The answers
should be expressed in not to ex
ceed 500 words and should be sent
in to Orange Judd Farmer, Chicago,
111, as soon as possible. If a large
number o f replies are forwarded, it
is possible that Orange Judd Far
mer's special commissions to land
experts may make a personal inves
tigation of this region, preparatory
to setting forth its advantages
through the columns of that widely
circulated periodical.
The story of a marvelously rich
gold strike in southern Oregon is
interesting not only to the persons
who thus stumbled upon it, but to
all people of Oregon. It is a piece
of great good luck to the finders,
but it is also a lucky and valuable
incident for Oregon. It will attract
wide attention to this state, and to
Southern Oregon in particular.
Since one such ledge has been
found, may there not be others?
True, such a discovery always starts
out a large number of prospectors,
most of whom are doomed to dis
appointment, but the general result
will be good; it will mean more
work, more effort consumption of
products, more fuitli in Oregon’s
mineral wealth, and doubtless, more
Oregon gold.
Some people insist dogmatically
that there iH no such thing iu the
world as luck or chace; that every
person gets ultimately just what he
plans and works rightly for and de
serves. But the truth of this fine
theory is not discernible in such an
occurance as this. For many years
placer gold was extracted in large
quantities from the beds of streams
in this vicinity, on both sides of
this ridge, and it was known that
there must be a rich ledge, from
which the placer gold came. Doubt
less the regiou has been prospected
by many a more or less hopeful
miner; doubtless weeks in the ag.
gregate of tramping through those
hills has gone unrewarded; and
yet at last a boy, out hunting, and
with no thought of finding gold,
discovers it in quantities cropping
out of the surface, so abundant and
easy to obtain that it is said one
family of seven persons mortared
out $25,000 in a week. One need
not call this luck or chance, if he is
determined that there is no such
thing; but certainly the chief bene
ficiaries did not plan and work for
this result.
This incident shows that Oregon
has not ns yet been diligently and
thoroughly prospected
If the
stories told concerning this ledge
are true, it may produce millions,
and there may be, and no doubt
are, other ledges as rich yet to dis
covered. Oregon’s mineral wealth
is as yet mostly undiscovered.
It
may be reasonably expected that its
gold production, already much larg-
or than it iu giveu credit for, will
steadily increase for many years.—

Little Squaw Laid Out.
Hood River, Or., June 15.—Two
Yakama squaws fought Ravagely on
the streets of Hood River this after
noon.
It appears that one had
stolen the affections of the other’s
handsome brave “ buck.”
The
dusky maiden who considered her
self thus aggrieved sought bodily
injury upon her rival.
Blows
rained thick and fast for a few
minutes. The aggressor was the
larger of the two, and with a well-
directed blow over the eye stretch
ed the smaller one on the grass.
As she lay there, apparently
stunned from the knockout, the
larger squaw, in a furious rage,
grabbed the little one by the hair
of the head and flung her with ter
rific force against a telephone pole.
Before bystanders could interfere
the larger one, with a blood-curd
ling yell, j.imped high in the air
and landed with both feet on the
prostrate body of her vanquished
rival.
Then came the city marshal.
