IF THE MORNING OREGONIAN. WEDNESDAY. MAY 9, 1906. T REPORTS L Good Progress in Digging Huge Culebra Cut in the' Mountains. HOSPITALS LACK PATIENTS Health Good, Quarters and Food Provided and Labor store Ef ficientMust Now Adopt Plans for Work. WASHINGTON, May 8. In his spe cial report to ths Secretary of War, Chairman Shonts, of the Isthmian Ca nal Commission, says regarding health i:ondftions: "Under the direction of Governor Magoon, health conditions on the isth mus are most satisfactory. Notwith standing the fact that there are more employes and their dependents on the isthmus than ever before (the monthly payrolls showing from 22,000 to 23,000 employes, with a daily effective force of about 16.000 or 17,000), there were fewer patients In the hospitals than for many months past. Dr. Gorgas re- : ported 450 beds vacant In the hospitals. There has been no authentic case of , yellow fever since last November. Quarters and Food for Workers. "I'nder the supervision of Chief En gineer Stevens, through the building department, the policy adopted to pro- vide for the workers suitable quarters In which to live has been carried for- ward with great vigor. The building department has riot only provided ample quarters for the existing force, but at this time has a reserve suffi cient to accommodate 8000 additional laborers. "Mess kitchens have been created at the different labor camps. where wholesome meals may be obtained at cost of ip cents each, and at this price a small marginal balance In favor of the Commission is left. It Is a de plorable fact and one difficult to ac count for from the American point of view, that these laborers do not avail Themselves of this privilege except in small numbers. This Is not due, it is believed, so much to penuriousness as to a desire to indulge in eatables less suited to their physical needs and to gratify other desires. To meet this Condition, because of its direct and im mediate effect upon the efficiency of the labor, the executive committee has authorized the chief engineer to in sert in all future labor contracts a proviso whereby the employe agrees to permit a fixed amount to be deduct ed from his daily wage, in considera tion of which he is to receive three wholesome and nourishing meals a day. Work In Culebra Cut. "The work of putting Culebra cut .in shape for the approaching wet sea son, -as well as for the Installation of the largest possible number of steam shovels on a systematic plan, has been steadily carried forward. All the bar riers across the cut left by the French have been removed, and not only have tracks been laid and ballasted on each level, hut for most of the way through the bottom of the canal prism a well ballasted, double-track line has been constructed. About 60,000 yards of the dirt slide have been removed, leaving s bcrm 150 feet wide back from the slope of the canal prism, so that, if this slide continues to come down, none of It will push over the prism, as it has done heretofore. Following this same rule, in two or three years more the entire slide will have been removed. Clay on the top of the cut, on the other - side of the prism, which cannot well be . handled during the wet season, has also been removed wherever there was dan ger of this side of the cut going far enough back to permit this clay to slide Into the prlBm this season. This work is so well along that. If the pres ent gcod weather should continue two or three weeks more. Culebra cut will be in such shape as to permit of the removal of the largest quantity of ma terial during the wet season, without danger from any of the mishaps from slides or derailments due to bad tracks, which have heretofore been at tendant upon such efforts. Move 1,000,000 Yards a Month. "Chief Engineer Stevens, during the month of March, without making any special effort, but following the general policy of work herein outlined, removed C40.000 cubic yards of material, with an average of 10 7-10 steam shovels work ing. Tne reports up to the loth of this month Indicate a still greater degree of efficiency in excavation. He believes tliat by July or August he will have 40 shovels Installed, and will be in a posl tton to remove approximately 1,000, 000 cubic yards per month. The actual cost for material handled during March, fig uring In contractors' expenses, was R3'j cents a cubic yard. "The morale of the force and Its ef ficiency continue to Improve. As the emploves in all tne departments get mora familiar with the -work required of them and as the organisation be comes more settled, a corresponding increase In the effectiveness of the force follows, as shown by Increased work at a less cost than before. ' Negroes Become More Efficient. "This Is even true to a more or less ex tent f the common . laborers from the West Indian Islands.. As the American foremen become more accustomed to their wavs and understand better how to han dle them, and as the common laborers become more familiar with the work that Is expected of them, they are taking more Interest in the work and becoming some what efficient. However, it Is not ex pected that any high degree of labor effi ciency will be developed until a better class' of labor Is introduced.- Law snd order continue to be main tained to a degree that would be remark nble under any conditions, and Is espe cially so when the character of the popu lation of the sone Is considered, with its vast army of 33.000 employes, gathered from all parts of the world. Harmony With' Pacific Mall. "I met on the Isthmus, by appointment, R. P. Sehwerln, vice-president and gen eral manager of the Pacific Mall Steam ship company, for a conference relative to the interchange of traffic between the Panama Railroad and steamships and the, Pacific Mall line. Mr. Scnwerin was ac companied by J. Kruttschnitt, transpor tation director of the Harriman lines, and C. W. Jungen. general manager of the Atlantic steamship lines of tne Southern Pacific Company. In company with Gen eral Manager Stevens and Superintendent Blerd. Mr. Sehwerln and his party were shown the terminal and transportation facilities of the Panama Railroad for handling cargo and the method followed In the handling of such business was ex plained to thsm. The subsequent confer ence resulted In a settlement of all points of dlfferenoe, and an agreement waa CANA wqhk reached between the two companies to work in harmony la the interest of the entire route. "This joint inspection of facilities and conference disclosed the fact that since the middle of December there has been no congestion of freight on the isthmus, and that with the gradual completion of addi tional docks and wharves now buildiner, and the gradual Increase of larger equip ment and heavier power now arriving, the possibility of another freight block ade or congestion grows less and less. Must Soon Decide on Type. "The launching of every great enter prise, the creating of an organization with which to carry on the work, is always the most difficult part of It. Once that has been accomplished successfully, the subse quent task of execution is comparatively easy. Tula preliminary stage is neaiing completion on the isthmus. Inspection during this, last visit showed that the many intricate problems connected with the engineering branch of this task have been worked out, that in many other de partments the preliminary work has been completed and each week is witnessing Its completion; in others. Other necessary work will occupy the organization to ad vantage for a short time to come, but at, the present rate of proarress the time is fast approaching when decision as to tha type of canal will be essential to the con tinuation of the work." COMMITTEE FOR IiOCK CANAIj Tables Morgan's Sea-Level Bill, Though He Fights On. WASHINGTON, May 8. Senator Mor' gan's bill providing for a sea-level canal on the isthmus, except through Culebra. where he proposes locks, was ordered laid on the table today by the Senate committee on lnteroceanlc canals. Mr. Morgan gave notice that he would not accept the verdict of the committee, but would urge the Senate to take uo the bill. The action of the committee Is In ac cordance with Its decision not to consider a bill determining the type of canal, but to permit the President to proceed to the construction of a lock canal under the Spooner act.

Totals Grow, Though Speculative Buying Would Cause Decrease. Standard Alone Suffers. PEKIN, May 8. The statement to the effect that there is apprehension in the United States that the boycott on Amer ican goods is growing has caused surprise here. All the information obtainable shows that the movement Is waning. The complete imports were 77,0Oi).O0O taels, com pared with 28.OOO.0OO in 1904. It appears that the importers made enormous specu lative purchases early In the year, chiefly In anticipation of war demands, and de crease in the imports would be natural under these circumstances. The report says the result of the boy cott Is not what had been expected. Much suspicion and hostility were created, but the general verdict is that not much injury has been done to American manu facturers or merchants. The final effect of the boycott, however, cannot be judged until the close of another year or even later. Only the immediate results are visible. In consequence of the climatic, war and boycott conditions combined, there Is a larger proportion of Imports than usual left in merchants' hands. The imports of American cotton in creased from 3,700.000 to 12.366.000 pieces and flour is about the same as in 1904, but the Australian trade is growing. The market for oil decreased 3.419,000 gallons from the Immense imports of 1904. The failure of the Russian supply negatived the boycott. Consul General Lay. at Canton, reports that American Imports into Southern China during the last half of 1905 de creased $1,250,000, oil decreasing SO per cent. The friction between the Standard Oil Company's agents and the officials and merchants at several points probably con tributed to this decrease. ST. LOUIS MEN SUMMONED Must Testify About Standard Oil Re bates Before Commission. ST. LOUIS. May 8. Traffic officials of St. I.oul8 railways and officials and em ployes of the Standard Oil Company and the Waters-Pierce Oil Company have been subpenaed to testify before the Interstate Commerce Commission in Chicago on Thursday next regarding special rates and rebates alleged to have been enjoyed by the Standard Oil and its subsidiary com panies throughout the West and South west.

SEARCH FOR THE BOOTY Cooked Food to Be Distributed Un der Kitchen System, and Only Those Really in Need Will Be Fed. OAKLAND,' Cal.. May 8. (Special.) A new and heretofore unsuspected loophole for wholesale grafting of supplies intend ed for relief work was this morning dis closed by Colonel Maus. of the Quarter master's Department, who has been su perintending the distribution of foodstuffs. Somewhere between people who load cars of stuff at outside points and dispatch them to San Francisco and the authori ties who should receive them, wholesale looting has been done. Colonel Maus states that he has received bills of lading for cars of stuff which he has found on opening to be entirely empty. This information has been laid before both the civil and military authorities, and an effort will be made to locate the looters and confiscate their ill-gotten goods. There is no thought in the -minds of the authorities now that the thefts have been by responsible parties, but simply by some of the many gangs of toughs which have their headquarters on the water front. It is believed that these people have broken into the cars on the docks while In tran sit across the bay. A thorough search of their camps will be made, and it is ex pected a great amount of stolen property will be uncovered. General Greely feels that the food sit uation is rapidly becoming better. The kitchen system will be given a trial, and Major Febiger is superintending the es tablishment of five headquarters in vari ous parts of the city, where cooked food will be distributed, rather than the cus tomary bread and canned stuff. The net Is gradually being drawn tight er to decrease the number of free eaters. All applicants for rations are now chal lenged and the cases of all suspicious characters thoroughly Investigated. Men earning wages are refused free supplies and free meal tickets. STEVEDORES GO ON STRIKE Paid Full Wages, They Refuse to Settle for Their Meals. OAKLAND, Cal., May 8. (Special.) A situation humorous and serious at once was created today by a group of some 50 stevedores who were at work on the Fol-som-street dock unloading Government relief supplies. While other men are do nating their services and sacrificing their businesses to aid in the relief work these sons of toil have been receiving a bright half dollar for each hour of work they have done. ' Now, when the Government officials ask these men to jfay 40 cents for the three meals they eat each day on the transport Crook, the laborers are in censed and withdraw their services. In a word, the stevedores have been paid the same wages as they received before the fire, so say the Government officials, and they strike when asked to pay for their . meals a mere fraction of what it would cost them at other places. The work of unloading is as a conse quence at a standstill, but if the strik ers do not return men from the refugee camps will be impressed into service. One thing sure, work or no wbrk, the transport officials will not permit one of the strikers now or any time again to set foot on their boat. New Mole on Oakland Side. OAKLAND. Cal., May 8. (Special.) A scheme has been devised whereby ships may continue to come into San Francisco Bay and unload without delay. A big mole will be erected on this side of the bay to accommodate incoming vessels. Here they may discharge their cargoes until San Francisco business men are able to handle the trade. A large crew of men with piledrivers was put to work today building the new wharf. Harbor Commissioner Spear says that the entire water front, with but one or two exceptions, is available for business. It is felt, however, that the congestion of commerce caused by the fire necessi tates the construction of an additional large dock on the Oakland side. Suicide of Noted Artist. OAKLAND. Cal., May 8. (Special.) Papers bearing the name of G. Cadenas so, a noted San Francisco painter, were found on the body of a man who killed himself last night In the underbrush near the refugee camp at Fort Mason. The face of the corpse was so badly mutilated that identification was not possible. The hair and stature tally with the features of Cadenasso. and there is but litle doubt the suicide is the well-known ar tist. EVIL OF THE PDTLATCH SLAVE-DEALERS ONIjx FAVOR ANCIENT CUSTOM. Fathers Sell Daughters, Brothers Their Sisters, and Old Mother AVas Once on Market. VANCOUVER, B. C, May 8. Interior Indian Agent Debeck. of Alert Bay, B. C, has made a special report of the depart ment, in which he says almost every In dian in that agency who favors the pot latch is a slave-dealer. Fathers sell their daughters, brothers sell their sisters and cousins, and he knew of one instance where a son offered his old mother for sale as a slave. Mis. Debeck recommended as a remedy for the existing evils, first the putting down of the potlatch, which Is really at the bottom of all the evils complained of. He says it should be done with a firm hand, not in the slipshod manner in which justice has been administered the Indians in the past; secondly, he suggests a rigid enforcement of law as regards the sale of intoxicants to Indians; third, he sug gests putting a stop to the custom of buying and selling women, and, if pos sible, compel any Indians to marry their women legally, and, lastly. If possible, keep out the grafters. Mr. Debeck con cluded : "You may legislate for these Indians until doomsday and they will never do any good until this curse of their whole lives, the potlatch, is completely wiped out." Further he says: "People come here in the garb of mis sionaries; start a store, commence trad ing with the Indians, taking what- they can get out of them, ride roughshod over the Indian act and are then upheld by the Indian Department. As far as the crim inal code goes it is about the same. AU manner of crimes are committed among STORE OPENS AT 8'AJti. The "Different" Store A Further Showing of New Gowns tThe Big Fair .
