Well Known Mining Man Says Con-

c. A. Turner miner and pros
pector who is well known In many
Northwestern mining camps, arrived
In Portland yesterday from Tonopah,
and Goldfleld, sore in body, wiser,
but wearied In mind and thoroughly
disgusted with himself for having
been tempted to drift with the crowd
into a boom camp" as he charac-
terizes the Nevada desert district,
says the Portland Telegram.
Four months ago Mr.. Turner, who
is a pioneer prospector, left Baker
City for the new Eldorado. He spent
three and a half months in the camps
and says that II he had been detained
10 days longer he would never have
come out alive. gAIaladies developing
from the breathing of dust that arises
from the soil, are prevalent, and con-
ditions are not at all inviting, in his
Judgment.
"There is something In the soil at
Tonopah that inflames the mucus
membrane and particles breathed into
the lungs cause great distress" he
said. His lips are still sore, although
now rapidly healing. and he referred
to their inflammation as an example
of what happens with many persons.

MAY LET PANAMA CONTRACTS
Government May Decide TO Construct
the Canal Through Instru-
mentality of Others.

WASHINGTON, oct. eS.-The government
OF the United States is willing to enter
into contracts with corporations or in
dividuals for the construction of any por-
tion or all of the Panama canal This
statement was made by Secretary Taft
while discussing conditions upon the 18TH
mus and the policy of the government
There is some doubt in his mind whether
any concern would be willing to undertake
the excavation Of the Culebra cut be-
cause OF the magnitude of that work. It
is not the excavation that will be so DIM
cult so much as the disposition of the
earth taken from the cut but as to the
other work the government will be ready
to enter into contracts for its completion
as soon as 1t is determined what type of
canal shall be constructed 1t is stated
that contracts could not be made during
the preliminary stages OF the work because
the government had to prosecute the con-
struction until its officers knew what was
to be done and had sufficient knowledge of
the conditions to pass upon bids and make
judicious contracts.
PANAMA, Oct. 23.-It being persistently
I rumored in the canal zone that Chief En-
gineer John F. Stevens intended resign

NEW YORK DRIVERS TO STRIKE
Demand of the Unions for n Closed
shop Causes Deadlock at
Conference.

NEW YORK. Oct. 2S.-Preparations to
break a threatened strike involving 81, 900
New York teamsters were made today by
the establishment of a strikebreakers
headquarters by team owners who fear
that their drivers may go on strike by
tonight.
At a conference between Thomas Orr,
the truck owner, whose drivers are already
on strike, and. the unions demand for a
closed shop caused a deadlock in the con-
ference.
Mr.. Hunter issued a statement tonight
declaring that the association was in favor
of the "open shop" and had the support
of the merchants of New York. This in
dicates that the team owners associa-
tion will stand by Thomas Orr in his fight
against the Teamsters' union.
The New York district council of the
International Association of Transfers will
meet tomorrow to decide on what action
to take According to many of the dele
gates. a strike will be declared probably
Wednesday morning. A few of the dele
gates. however want to hold off until
they are better prepared. Their treasury
is almost empty, for the New York team
sters sent the Chicago strikers $500 a week
for months.

PLAN FOR INSPECTING MEAT

not intend to go outside his own depart
ment for the additional inspectors Of meat
it is proposed to employ under the govern
ment's new plan, requiring the packers to
pay for their own labels. Heretofore at
this season of the year, it has been the
custom to dispense with the services OF a
number of field inspectors, but I'm view Of
the additional sum which will be at the dis
posal OF the secretary after November l.
the date when the new order goes into
effect, a number of these inspectors will
be retained and a number assigned to the

especially adapted for this duty md will

FALL RIVER, Mass, Oct 2s.-The tex

last January. The Manufacturers associ-
alton, representing all the print cloth mills
in the city, with the exception of those
controlled by NJ. c. D. Borden of New
York, held a meeting this afternoon and
voted to refuse the request OF the textile
council for direct restoration of the
wage that applied previous to the 12Ls per
cent reduction OF July 2b. 1904. The action
OF the association will be considered at a
special meeting OF the textile council to-
morrow night, when it is probable the en-
tire matter will be referred to special meet
inxs.
The men fear that another strike will be
decided upon by the unions, but it is i'm

tives will take.
