Large Part OF Mountain Removed
From Path of Engineers.

Interesting developments came up
in Panama as the result of the San
Francisco earthquake, says a Panama
letter. 1t Is Thought that in a peculiar
way the earthquake was directly re-
sponsfble for materially helping the
engineers in their work of digging the
canal and II. may be of some interest
to civilization to know that according
to the statements of competent engin-
GERS the terrible disaster was the
means of doing some good.
The quake was distinctly felt here
and a huge landslide about mile
from where I am now stationed hap
pened, as it proved later, at the exact
time that buildings were tumhling
down in San Francisco. With a
crash that could be heard for miles
q whole section of a mountain, direct
ly in the path of the canal course.
slipped down. long slope. For miles
in this part of the zone the crash was
heard and the shock was accompan-
led by a trembling of the earth which
was distinctly felt .gg,t .i
Little work was done that day,
everyone who could get away travel
ing to the scene of the landslide TO
view its effect. A whole section of
the mountain. weighing thousands and
thousands of tons Totally beyond my
ability to estimate) had parted COM
pany with the rest of the peak and
gone down n slope .s
The peculiar part of it is that the
section which had fallen away was
directly in the path of the canal and
it is estimated that the occurrence
will save the engineers months of dig
ging. II seems as II nature had taken
it into its head to assist the commits
sion by removing this immense obsta-
Gle from the path of the canal. 1t is
thought that the San Francisco earth
quake was responsible for the land
slide.
| Government engineers and scientists
have been at work here taking obser-
vations of the phenomenon and, al
though they have as vet made no Of
ficial report. it is thought that the
result of their Investigations will
make interesting reading. They say
that, as near as they can figure, the
landslide, which was only a part of
the peculiar conditions felt here the
morning of the earthquake, was di-
rectly caused by the San Francisco
disaster.

In all parts of Umatilla county
threshers are now commencing upon
the work of harvesting the wheat
crop, and by Wednesday It is said
nearly every machine in the county
will be in operation. Many machines
in the reservation country and around
Athena commenced this morning.
, Also harvesting Is fast getting under
way in the country along the line Of
the w. & c.. r.
While the ithreshing SO far has been
too limited to tell anything very exact
about yields, it is possible. to form
some idea of the loss which was sus-
tanned through the hot weather.
In the opinion of A. l.. Knight, who
was through the Athena country yes
terday the crop all over. the county
this year Is going to be about normal.
Previous TO the hot weather he says
the prospect was for at least 25 per
cent greater than an average yield
But in many cases the favorable early
showing has been offset by the hot
SPELL and but a normal crop will be
harvested. In some instances only {
or 10 per cent was lost by the heat

reached 25 or 80 per cent. thus bring.

Peculiar and Distressing Accident to a
Hay Maker.

Sam Boiler was the victim of a
painful accident Thursday evening,
While stacking hay on his ranch down
the Boise valley about eight miles,
says the Boise Statesman. Swinging
IN midair IL or IA feet from the
ground, the weight of his body hang

abdomen as they are pierced by the
tine of a Jackson hay fork. is the lat

Ter, The physician who dressed the
wound is of the opinion that he will
RECOVER. -as.~t .1.' lH' ''
Boiler was unloading load or hay
with a derrick, the stack being almost
ready to top out. He was standing
at one end of the load talking to a
man when Henry Hill, who was on the
load with him. went to ascend to the
top Of the stack by means of the der
rick fork. AS the fork rose from the
hay 1t swung around toward Mr.. Boil
Ter, who was not noticing It,
The end prong struck him about the
center of his abdomen, about three
inches below the navel. turning to the
right, thus, not penetrating the o. ao-
dominal cavity. The prong. penetrated
about four inches under the second
layer of muscles and the weight OF
his body suspended in the air tore a
large patch of flesh loose, making q
| disagreeable wound. ..s s.,.
Boiler hung suspended in the all
until the derrick horse wgs backed
up. lowering him to the ground, wher
! he was carried TO his home.
A streak of hard luck seems to be
! following Boiler. As soon as he re-
! covers from. one accident, he Is the
victim of another. Some time ago
six-horse team ran away with him, ht
sustaining Injuries that laid him w
for "a considerable length Of time
About the time he recovered from thai
affair he was working with hay

Not'a great length Of time had elapsed
since he recovered from that accident
until the present one occurred. ..

Labor legislation and the labor
question in general will enter largely
into the construction of the Cold
Springs government irrigation project
Owing to the fact that employees on
government works can labor but eight
hours day, 1t Is necessary for the
contractors on government contracts
to increase their prices in accordance
with the short day and the longer time
required to finish the work.
For this reason it is possible that
! work on the various projects will be
indefinitely delayed. since the secre-
tary of the interior is disposed to re-
fuse all high bids, under any circum-
stances. A special from Washington
says:
Action of the greatest Importance
to labor circles is contemplated in a
direction given by the president to
/ officers in charge of public works, at
/ the instance of Secretary Taft. This
| is to employ the governments own
officers to direct and punish violations
of the law of 1902, providing, except
| that in case of an emergency, work on
government buildings. ships and other
properties shall be limited to eight
hours each day for each workman.
An effort was made by the forces
! of organized labor during the last ses-
sion of congress to secure legislation
I 10 this end, but so effective was the
I opposition of the great contracting
| firms,that adjournment was had with
out any action on the pending bill
though the house committee on labor
consumed many hours in listening to
powerful arguments on either side OF
the question. r 2
Work for Executive Officers.
Heretofore 1t has been the practice
OF executive officers to whom COM
plant was made by labor unions that
the eight hour law was being violated
[ by contractors engaged on public en-
terprises; that the law was binding
on the contractors and that IL the la
bor unions felt aggrieved and knew OF
violations of the law they should pro-
coed themselves legally against the
offenders. The labor unions pointed
out that 1t was almost impossible fol
I them to secure the necessary evidence
| Is Costly Order.
The effect of the order on the cos
of government work is expected to bt
! very great. 1t is known that it ha.
been almost the rule for the govern
ment contractors to work their mer
10 and IL hours and even more day
If they cannot do this they assert tina
they must increase by 20 or 25 pei
cent the amount of their bids, so tina
congress must either increase by lik'
percentage the appropriations TO
public works or must corresponding.
reduce the amount of work author

Day of Feverrsh Impatlence Seeking So-
 lution of U. P. Riddle.

New York. Aug. 16.-Wall street spent a day Of severish impatience in the expectation of seeking the solution of the riddle of the excited speculation in Union Pacific and Southern Pacific. The excitement continued at high pitch in those stocks. It was melted by the delay in the assembling of the authori- ties having the decision of the question of dividends on the two stocks. As l1:30 a. m. is the usual hour Tor the as- sembling of the committee, the dealings on the stock exch9nge seemed to be ap- preaching 8 culnination as that time approached. The delay was explained as being due to the demands upon the time of members for the payment of a last tribute of respect by attendance upon a funeral. Other explanations were forthcoming as the delay was prolonged. The day passed without a solution of the riddle. The uniformed speculative following of the buying of the stocks was somewhat dazed by this course of procedure. The movement of the stocks, however, showed but slight effect from this condition of unsettle- ment. Their sustained strength was attributed to a conviction that de- cision on the dividends to be paid had been arrived at, although the announce ment was withheld. The market fell into intense dullness during the midday period. Speculative feeling continued at high tension, however, in the mood of uncertainty as to what the action of the market would Joe after the expect ed good news was out. Confidence in the action to be taken was too strong to allow much room for influence of any scattered scepticism. But on the sub ject of how the market would act if accumulative hopes were all fulfilled there was great diversity of opinion. Hence the mid-session halted trading and the sagging tendency of prices on the part of those seeking to guard against a profit taking reaction. The action of the money market was a re- straining influence. The average rate for call loans during the day was high CT than yesterday, in spite of some sub- stantial replenishment of local money supplies The strength in Pennsylva- nia made an active market for the con- vertible bonds of which large holdings were left in the hands of the syndicate when it was dissolved The reaction in prices which followed the announce rnent that no dividend action would be reported from the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific meetings was resisted The view was apparently taken that the stocks were in a strong position with the mystery still on than if form al announcement of dividend action had been made. The action of the St Paul directors in offering the $25, GOO 900 of treasury stock to stockholders at nar thus confirming a long standing expec- tation, encouraged confidence in the dividend hopes on the Pacifics. There was heavy realizing just at the last in Southern Pacific and the closing was in consequence unsettled and irregular
 Bonds were irregular. Total sales nar value, $2,S5O, OOO
 U, s, Bonds were all unchanged on call
