MACON LIKES THE JAMAlCANS
Governor OF Philippines says that
Negroes Are Good workmcn
when OrRanISed.

WASHINGTON. = c., Oct. 3-Former
Governor Charles u Magoon OF the
Panama canal, who has spent a great deal
Of time on the isthmus. has considerable
confidence in the Jamaica negro as a
laborer on the canal He has organized
police force OF these men and says they
are very efficient Much OF the complaint
that has been made about them as lahorers,
he thinks. Is because they do not thor
oughly understand American terms and the
names OF article In common use. He says
that upon the whole they are intelligent
and can read and write. are prolific letter
writer's ae he can testify by the many
communica lions received from them. They
all begin their letters In the same way:
Your excellency: | have the honor to
! inform you that ! am British subject etc
Judge Magoon says that they are all
proud OF being subjects OF Great Britain.
He believes that the method TO be
| ultimately adopted, in handling labor on
the canal will be similar to that adopted
by Kitchener when he advanced upon
Khartoum The British general utilized
African labor. but had II organized on a
military basis. Judge Magoon says he does
not mean that laborers on the canal should
be under military discipline. but that they
should be organized in companies under the
charge of competent officers with men OF
their race and kind in positions similar &c
noucommissioned officers in the army. He
believes that satisfactory system will
| result from this method

The Ak-sar-Ben electrical parade in
Omaha last evening proved too great an
attraction and consequently there was not
quorum at the regular monthly meeting
Of the membership OF the Commercial club.
The election OF a new executive committee
was accordingly postponed to some later
date.
Rev James OMay of the Broadway
Methodist church, Rev. otterbein o. Smith
of the First Congregational church and Fl.
A. Ballenger were among those who put in
an appearance, and they improved the OPP
portunty TO discuss the question of holding
a chautauqua in this city next year. DIR.
Smith spoke strongly In favor of holding
one and in this was supported by Rev.
Mr.. OMay and Mr.. Ballenger. The dis
cussion, however. was purely informal. but
It was decided to hold another meeting, and
Secretary Reed OF the Commercial club
was requested to issue call for some
evening the early part OF next week, when
another attempt TO get those interested In
the project together will be made.

MAYOR SICNSLlCHT CONTRACT
Action Taken Shortly After adjournment
Of session Of the Council
THINKS 1Hi CITY HAS A GOOD BAReAIl
More Lights, an AH-NIEht schedule
and Cost No Greater Than Under
old MoonIiabt schedule
Contract.

Shortly after the city council adjourned
at midnight Tuesday, Mayor Macrae at
tached his official signature to the new
lighting contract with the Citizens Gas &
Electric company, which was approved by
the council after a two hours discussion,
by "a vote OF six to two Regarding the
new contract Mayor Macrae had this TO
say yesterday:
While the contract may not be all that
the city would have wished, still l consider
It a very fair one for both the lighting
company and the city. There is no doubt
but that the all-night schedule will be ap-
preciated by the people Of Council BLUFFS.
The moonlight schedule was farce and
delusion. Under the new contract we
will have more lights than before and our
lighting bill for the year viii not be any
greater. As the city grows and the com
panys business increases the royalty paid
the city by the company must necessarily
increase and We will he enabled TO have
MORE lights. OF course there will neces-
| sarily be some croakers who will say the
/ city Is paying too much, but when all Is
! said and done 1 believe the city has made
good contract"
The contract is for FIVE years from Oc'
tober l. Under It the city is to pay S;
year for each arc light. of which there
shall be not less than 200. While this is the
| rate named the contract provides that tbs
/ company shall pay the city a royalty Of
| 3 per cent on all electrical business othel
| than that of lighting and cents on eact
1000 cubic feet OF gas sold and paid FOL
| by the patrons of the company In thu
city. These royalties, it is estimated, will
reduce the cost OF the lighting 10 $40 :
lamp and the contract provides that tn
company shall not collect more on al
average during the year.
The price OF gas, commencing Januar!
l. 1907. will be reduced from s1.45 to 81
provided the bills are paid before tn
fifteenth Of the month and $1.35 IL not pal,
by that time A discount OF 10 per cen

folk made their way across the river early
in the afternoon, but 1t was not until
about o'clock that the big rush conf

hold a session of court, Judge Green will
arrive this morning to hear the case.
