PANAMA CANAL MAY
Be BUILT BY CONTRACT

Washington, Oct. "A tentative
decision has been reached by Chair
man Shonts, of the Isthmian canal
commission that the Panama canal be
built by contract. An announcement
of the final determination of the canal
officials respecting the method of con.
sturction is expected in a few days.
Chairman Shonts has had long
conference with the president, at
which this and other matters relating
to the canal we're considered fully.
The president is anxious that a con-
clusion be reached on all questions of
canal construction as soon as posi- BILE,
so that the actual work of construc-
ton may be pressed vigol ously.
1t is understood that the president
has not abandoned his contemplated
trip to Panama, and will not unless
the Cuban situation or some other
question should become so acute as to
require his presence in Washington.
Former Gov. Charles E. Magoon has
confidence in the Jamaica negro as
laborer on the canal. He had organ.
lied a police force of these men and
says they are very efficient. Much of
the complaint that has been made
against them as laborers, he thinks,
is because they do not thoroughly
understand American terms and the
names ONT articles in common use.

JAPAN'S GREAT ADVANTAGE

Work to One End.

five years Japan will have gained the
commercial supremacy Of the Pacific
ocean," declared S. Glen Andrus,
railroad editor Of the Chicago Record.
Herald, who has been touring Japan
for several months.
1.-THE Japanese have wonderful
organization, continued Mr.. Andrus.
Their war machine was the most
complete of any in history. Every
man worked with but one idea-the
good of his country. All private gain
was forgotten and the one thought was
to do for the nation. This same sys.
tenn is being used today in the country e
commercial invasion. The japanese
act as a unit, and when nation as a
whole thinks and works for but one
end, as these japanese are doing, it is
bound to get results"
In speaking of conditions in China,
Mr.. Andrus expressed doubt as to
the fitness of the Chinese for constitu.
tional government promised them in
fifteen years.

President SAYS GIVE
CUBANS ANOTHER CHANCE

Washington, Oct. g. President
Roosevelt discussed freely with his
cabinet and with individual callers,
among whom were Senators Knox and
Foraker, the present situation in Cuba
and its temporary occupation by the
American forces. The matter was
talked over at the cabinet meeting,
but no definite announcement of the
result of the deliberations was given
out.
The president related to the cabinet
and to the other callers with whom be
talked that the action taken by the
American government was destined
solely for the benefit of the people OF
the island, with a view to the com.
plete restoration of order there and
the protection of all interests.
Aberdeen herald. [volume] (Aberdeen, Chehalis County, W.T.) 1886-1917, 1906-10-08
No Thought of Annexation

He declared that he had no such
nexation of the island to the United
States. What he wanted now was that
the Cubans should be given another
chance at self government.
Unless extraordinary conditions
arise, no extra session of congress will
be called to deal with the Cuban stu
alton, as the president considers he
has ample authority to deal with the
matter.
Former Governor Charles e. Ma
COON, of the Panama canal zone, who
has Just returned from Panama, will
be appointed head of the provisional
government of Cuba in succession to
Secretary Taft. Both the president
and Secretary Taft had in view the
designation of Gov. Beekman Win
throp, of Porto Rico, for the Office.
The president, however, has expressed
the belief that he can better spare
Gov. Magoon from his duties in the
Philippine islands, where he has been
appointed member of the Philippine
commission and vice governor general
of the Philippines, than he can the
services of Gov. Winthrop for the sew
eral months during which he expects
the provisional government of Cuba
will continue.
The president expects Secretary Taft
to return to Washington in the course
of two weeks.
