REDUCE WORKING
FORCE ON CANAL

(Inited Press Leased WlTe'J
Ancon, Canal Zone, Nov. 2S. --
mo help wanted" is the sign hung
out over the Panama Canal zone to-
day. The reason for this, as ex-
planned by the government author
tiles is that the work on the big
ditch" has pased its highest point,
so far as the employment of men is
concerned. The present tendency Is
not to employ more men but to re-
duce the force, and this applies alike
to clerical, artisan and labor classes.
From this forward, the work IN
the canal zone viii be confined large
ly to actual canal building, including
excavating and dam and lock con-
struction. Building and municipal
work, erecting houses, installing
water and sewer systems and road
making have reached the stage
where most OF the expenditure from
this time forth will be for mainten-
ance.
On this account, the forces former
ly engaged in municipal engineer
and building have been reduced, and
in consequence, the vices OF a
penters, plumbers and other artisans
have been dispensed with Wher e.
ever possible the men whose SER
vices are not needed in one division
OF the work are employed on anothe"
and this system OF transferring MEM
bers OF the present force also re-
duces the number OF posltionsopen
to new men.

COPPER MINES WILL
EMPLOY THOUSANDS

Vancouver, b. c., Nov. 2S.-There
is much rejoicing today in the cop
per regions as far north from here as
White Horse over the news that the
advance in the price OF copper has
made it possible for the operators TO
throw open their mines, many of
which have been idle for year.
Within the next few weeks It is ex-
peeted that employment will be given
20 1000 men alone in the Britannia
mine on Howe Sound, twenty miles

Dear Sir: Your letter of July 18th
stating that the records in the Gov

ministration of Governor Ellerbe, in ex-
ceptlonal cases, few colored men who

electors under the Constitution and
strongly indorsed by good white citi-
5zens, were appointed notaries public,
has been received. In reply / wish to
state that this is true. 1t is the usual
custom and was the policy of the Gov
ernor under whom | served to thor
oughly investigate all such applications
and where they were found to be all
right and those who indorsed them
urged their appointment the appoint
ment was made. Of course it is not a
general practice to make such appoint
ments, but they are made under the
circumstances stated above
With kind regards | am,
Yours very truly,

GOVERNOR REWARDS RECORD.

Columbia, S. c., July 16, 1908.
Mr. A. j. Bethea, Private Secretary,
Columbia. S. G..
Dear Sir: During Governor Hey
wards administration it was his fixed
rule not to appoint a colored notary un-
less he deemed the circumstances re-
questing this appointment most excep-
tlonal. A notary was never appointed
unless the application was accompanied
by the Endorsement of representative
citizens of the community in which the
applicant lived.
At the personal and urgent request of
leading prominent and representative
citizens Governor Hayward did, in one
or two cases, appoint colored men to
the office of notary public. AS | have
said above these were most exceptional
cases, and am sure that an investiga-
tlon of the records Of the office and of
the attendant circumstances will cause
no criticism whatever of Governor
Heyward's s action in these few cases.
Yours very truly,
(SlgneO j. e. NORMENT,

several negroes were so commissioned
during the administration of that noble

Governor Richardson respected ne

policy to recognize and encourage in

ness in that race.

hour was late he was given a respect
full hearing and accorded much applause.
His entire speech was devoted to at
tacks upon Hon. r. G.. Rhett, as they

AS he himself said: MY purpose in
making this campaign is to keep one of
South Cardinals senatorial togas from
being packed in the Republican ele-

his purpose is to defeat Mr.. Rhett,
whom he charges with Republcanism.
Mr.. Grace spoke lengthily on matters
that pertain to the city politics of
Charleston and in them all accusing Mr..
Rhett of being a Republican, but at the
same time admitting that he (Grace)
had supported Rhett not only for mayor
but also for delegate to the national
Democratic convention at Chicago. Mr..

T00RGAN|zE LEAGUE
PLAN ON FOOT FOR.
BASEBALL IN VALLEY
Four Towns In Sight With Meeting
Promised In North Yakima
Soon.
The Ellensbu1g Localizer says:

The Ellensburg Localizer says:
baseball league comprising the
towns OF Prosser, North Yakima, Gle
Eum or Roslyn, and this city within
the next month. and give to the low
ers of the great national game in
this city taste of the sport on Sat
urdays and Sundays. The men in
charge of the movement have had
experience in the work before and
maintain that if properly conducted
the proposition can be made a finan-
cial and business success. 1t is the
intention for each town in the league
to put up a forfeit as a guarantee
that they will finish the season.
There is pleny of good material
running around loose, in fact as
good as any that could be imported
at a reasonable price. Several of
the Milwaukee men in this city have
played on their college teams and
would be glad to play for sport and
side money.
Last year Ellensburg was the
only town in central Washington
that did not have ball team of some
pretensions. Outlook a village OF
thirty-five souls in Yakima valley,
had a ball atem and came out even
with the season. Ellensburg with
1900 people with half way support
should be able to at least make a
showing. A meeting will be held in
North Yakima soon TO consider
plans.
