Show MEN ARE SCARCE AT $3 A DAY. That there is work for those who are not afraid of work and have the bone and sinew equal to the demands of hard labor Is proved by one man who has been searching the town over for workmen to be transported to near Wells, Nevada, where there are 6,000 tons of hay to be cut and stacked. , Adam Patterson arrived from the property of the Vineyard. Land & Stock company, which extends from the railroad north Into Idaho and covers in area a small empire, and he reports that it Is almost impossible im-possible to obtain hay pitchers, although al-though he is offered $2 a day and board. A prominent banker this morning said the entire country Is entering on a period of great prosperity, and this failure on the part of Mr. Patterson to secure laborers at wages equivalent equival-ent to $3 a day tends to prove that the prosperity already has arrived. |
