COOLIES MUST DIG CANAL.
All Other Labor Has Failed, They
Will Now Be Tried.
Contracts to BE Made with Agents
to Bring Them Over and Re-
turn Them if They Live.

Washington, D. c. - Chinese Ia
Dor will be given a thorough test on
the Panama canal. Contracts calling
for $500 Chinamen for canal work
have been prepared and advertise
ments. will be issued by the isthmian
canal commission in a few days ask
ing for proposals from labor agents.
II the initial $500 Cinnamon prove
a success, it is likely that many more
will lie taken to the isthmus to do the
work which is too hard for the Jamai-
cans now employed there in large
numbers.
Organized labor has offered much
opposition to the use of contract Chi
nesc labor but the Jamaican workmen
have proven inadequate, sufficient
Spaniards can not be had Immediately
to rush the work and the Chinese are
the last hope of the commission.
President Roosevelt, Secretary Taft
and Chairman Shonts of the canal
| commission, and other men promin-
emily identified with the canal work
are known to have delayed employing
Chinese until it became evident that
the other help available was not
equal to the demands. The admins
| tration has taken the position that
the canal must be dug at any cost
and although the president urged that
| there be no haste in employing Chi
nese, he did not stand permanently
in the way of the plan to try the COO
lies.
1t is the intention of the commission
to ask for bids from labor agents
who will arrange with the Chinese
government for the expectation of la
Dor, transport the Chinese to the 18TH
mus under contract to work for a
fixed wage, and ship them back to
China, thus relieving the commission
of all detail work and all responsible
ity. A bond will be required of all
contractors for a satisfactory fulfill
ment O. any contract they may enter
into with the commission.
The employment of the Chinese
will not displace the Jamaicans who
are already there, but it is not likely
that many more West Indian negroes
will be hired if the Chinese prove a
success.

Personal Tax ReIl Filled

The personal assessment roll
for the year 1906 has been COM
pleted by tax Assessor G. w.
Green and filed with the board
of supervisors at their July meet.
ing. Mr.. Green has made .
vigilant search for all taxable
property and through his diligent
efforts the roll has been increas-
ed by a little over a quarter OF
a million of dollars, the tax in
crease being $3.50, 1884 over the
last assessment. The total per-
sonal assessment for the year
aggregates the sum of 81, 1888, OH
To this amount must be added
the sum of the realty assessment
which is now being made up by
the tax assessor and will be filed
by the August meeting. When
this roll is filed the total taxable
property will exceed by severa!
hundreds of thousands of dollars
the assessable property of the
county in any previous year.
It became the duty OF the as
SCISSOR, to list the names OF al
educable children of the county
during the present year and this
list was filed with the board and
shows an increase Of about 85O
children of school age. AS ar
index to the increase in popula
ton the increase Of the educabl'
children indicates that there
has been an addition of severa
thousand to our population since
the last enumeration in 1907
The showing made by the ass
essor is encouraging to all whit
take pride in seeing the count,
advance along all lines.

finally constructed. The conten-

ston was saddened by the death of their
sweet baby boy, Archer Cook, whose
precious life ended June 9, 1905. Only
seven short months and nine days have
glided by since he came to brighten
their home with his sweet presence, un-
til God said, l have need of this PIE
cious little flower, and took him home
to bloom in heaven. Little Archer has
gone to heaven in his purity and inno-
cence before his little soul was stained
with the sins Of this world. We know
that God had need Of him or surely he
would have never taken him from us.
He is resting in his little white casket.
Grieve not dear papa and mamma. your

Sleep on. dear darling Archer. we
will meet you again some day where
