LABOR ON THE lSTHMUS.

In an interview in Washington,
few days ago, discussing the dlfhcul-
ties that are to be encountered III the
building of the Panama canal, Mi.
Isham Randolph, one of the consulting
engineers employed on the work, said
that the labor problem was one of the
most serious obstacles that had TO be
met and overcome. In discussing the
situation and the dangers to the health
of white men in the zone Md. Ran
dolph said: "The difficulty lies in the
particular elements which are more
psychological than technical The de-
pressing influence of the climate
(Camp and heat the presence of a
vile, shiftless, ignorant, lazy class of
colored labor-the only class of labor
which can be employed-is ruinous

his mental being.
To employ white labor would in
short time Mean death, so what
is to be done? The present corps
of labOrers accomplishes not nine
teen days of eight hours work
per day in a month. All men car
ry umbrellas, but for what pur-
pose when they vanish at the
least indication of rain.
The colored workman requires
more supervision and guidance
than any other. and consequently
nowhere is this influence more at
fault than on the Isthmus OF Pana-
ma. Not until this problem is
solved will our nation realize the
immediate construction of any
type of canal.
The south is peculiarly interested in
the early completion of this great I'M
dertaking, and is solictious that the
work should not be unnecessarily him
dered The labor question is one of
primary importance and ought to be
met promptly and settled satisfacto-
rily before its complications begin TO

the work tell us that white men are

no opposition to this on the part Of
organized labor inasmuch as Ameri-
can citizens do not want the employ
ment apn any terms and there would
he no competition of foreign with
home labor.
We nave waited more Vlan MY
wears for the beginning of this great
enterprise. and it would be an unmix-

delayed through labor complications
Any other government ON earth would
promptly solve the problem in 7he
rational and practical way.

The egg and poultry earnings OF
the United States for one recent year
amounted 10 $2S0,000 goo. Such an

stands, but you don't get its full sig
nifcance until you study the relative
financial values of other 'iudustrials. ;"
We find. for instance. that the total
produced in America during the year
in question was $212 2,434,315. The
sugar production of the country the
same year was but 100000, 600 That
part OF the wheat crop used at home,
which many consider the most valll-
able of all our agricultural products,
was worth 1929 100000. The great
American hog, as consumed at hone
and abroad, brought $1S6,5 80 .035. The
value of the oat crop was $1S.9S4,900.

BEER
IS NOT WANTED

VICTORIA, b. c., Aug. 31.--The
Western Canadian brewers have de-
cided to present vigorous protest
to the Dominion government against
the continued importation of Ameri-
can beer, which, it Is claimed, has
almost supplanted the Canadian prod
uct in the western market, and the
sale and consumption of which is
rapidly increasing in this country.
The objection of the Canadian brew
ers is that the government compels
them TO make their beer from pure
malt and hops, while there is no re-
striction upon the American brewers,
This, the home brewers urge. is man
ifestly unfair. and they think that
the government should either permit
them to use the cheaper materials
and ingredients, or else place greater
restrictions upon the imported prod
uct.

Next Monday the changing of the
school bells will again be heard and
the small boy and girl, students old
and young, will tuck books. pencils
and pads under reluctant arms and
hurry toward the schoolhouse. The
long summer vacation is now but a
passing dream, for on Monday next
school begins in earnest.
According to the opinion Of Super
intendent Torney, the opening attend
ance this year will exceed that of
last by fully 10 per cent.
On September 6, 1904, which mark
ed the opening of last season, the
attendance numbered 1881, which had
increased by September 16 of that
year to S439.
This year, it is expected. the at
tendance will border on 5000 for the
first week and the outlook at present
seems to indicate that this number
may reach 10000.

morning that there were accommoda-

SUMPTER, Ore, Aug. S1.-Samuel
Stott, part owner of the Lucy group,
in the Greenhorn district, is in Stump
ter today, and reports that an i'm

up in the Fourth of July claim, two
miles west of his property. The ledge
is copper proposition and is said
to be GO feet wide. Already n large
amount of this ore has been taken
out and is ready for smelter treat
ment The delivery Of the ore here
will no doubt be soon taken up. as 1t
is stated that 1t is expected to be
treated at the Sumpter smelter.
Fred Warren located the claim
about four years ago. but it is only
recently that an EFFORT has been made
at development. This is one of the
largest copper deposits that has been
opened up in this district for some
time past. 1t is also stated that

TWO UNIONS
CONSOLIDATED

Transfers local union, No. $50,
has decided to surrender it's charter
and consolidate with the Neal truck
drivers union, No. 373. This action
was taken last Tuesday evening and
met with almost unanimous approval
from the local teamsters and truck
men.
Both locals are chartered by the
International Transfers and by con-
solidating they can better afford a
business agent and the financial bur-
dens of the individual members will
be lighter than if two organizations
were maintained.
The new union will have a men,
bership of about 800 and will be
known hereafter as the Transfers
union, No. 373, with headquarters at

manual training will be confined to
the seventh and eighth grades and
will consume one hour of each day.

So, when it became known that the
judge was wanted, men began to tip

judge was in his chambers. The

it was ready to see the judge.

Moore and Grand Juror Olney. They
