The above report concerning labor
conditions in the Far North was brought
to Tacoma today by the captain of the
steamer Elihu Thomson. The list of un
' employed is not caused by strikes, as
is the case at other places in Alaska,
by an over supply of labor.
En ploy ment companies rushed men
through to the North, promising wages
of $5 per day and when the men got
there they found if they wanted to work
they would have to take 83.50 per day

OREGON J1L.X II. Hi: WEIGHT
Heir Delegation to Cong-ret Weigh
Oyer 500 Pouuaa.
Newport, Or., Aug. 18. "Oregon will
Lave the heaviest delegation in Congress
next session of any state in the Union,"
said Judge TV. R. Ellis, of Pendleton,
Congressman from the Second District,
who is now recreating at Newport. "I
am confident that no other state will
have a delegation with as great an
average weight per member as t)regon.
Whatever the people may charge us
with, they cannot accuse us of being
deficient physically."
Congressman Ellis weighs 255 pounds
and is sometimes a little heavier. Con
gressman Ha wley, of the First District,
weighs from 240 to 245 pounds. Thus
Oregon's two Congressmen weigh 550
pounds, an average weight for the
delegation of 250 pounds.
"In my former term in Congress,'
said Judge Ellis, "there was only five
or six men in the House a heavy as I
Judge Cockrell, ot Texas, was the
heaviest Representative. He weighed
.225 pounds. Speaker Thomas B. Reed
was also a heavyweight, tipping the
scales at 260. Both Reed and Cockrell
are now dead. Other men in the House
then who weighed in the vicinity of 250
were Representatives Henrichsen, of
Illinois; Oates, of Alabama, and Sereno
. Payne, of New York, present chair
man of the ways and means committee."

Aituougb Una is tbe season o
the year for sheepbuvers to flock
here for the purpose of buying
lambs for fall delivery, there is
little doiDg in the Umatilla county
market, and apparently but lew
sheep will be sent out this year.
At present Howard Stevens, of the
firm of Stevens & Rust, is the only
buyer in the field. lie ia in tb
market for lambs for shipment to
their ranch in Nebraska and has
already purchased 2500 head of
Joe Connelly. The price paid has
not been made public, but is under
stood to have been a high one.
Owing to the fact that there is
abundant winter range for all of
the sheep now owned in the county,
there is little desire to sell on the
part of growers. Prices asked for
lambs range from $3 to $5, which
is a decidedly high figure com
pared with prices in the past.
According to Mr. Stevens, there
is such a strong local demand for
lambs that an outside buyer has
little opportunity. Parties having
winter range may buy lambs in the
fall, run them through the winter
and then sell them after shearing.
By such a course the grower de
rives the benefit from the growth
of the sheep and from the wool
clip. Eastern buyers sell the sheep
as mutton after running them
through the winter. But as there
is no scarcity of winter range in
this section now the growers here
are doing tbe same thing in many
instances with the result that the
price of lambs is elevated.
As the federal quarantine has
now been practically raised in this
state, it is much easier for sheep to
be sold out of the state. At present
all sheep must be inspected by
federal men, bat unless actually
found afflicted, with scab the sheep
do not have to be dipped. East

Is to strengthen, invigorato and regulate
