Captured by the Ideal climate of
southern Idaho and the bright pros
pects for the future, having been con
vinced after personal Investigation
that the Gem state Is deatlned to be
one of the greatest in the northwest,
C. H. Manning, a well known govern
ment employe 'assigned to special
work In Panama canal zone, has been
made so enthusiastic a convert that
he sent In his resignation to the de
partment at Washington last week
as an officer In the department of la
bor and subsistence, to be effective
at once and has selected as his future
home, Shoshone, suys the Boise Cap
Hal News.
He has also purchased a farm on
the north sido Twin Falls tract where
lie will lay the foundations for a val
uable orchard. Mr. Manning has
come back to nature's own and his
present course in Mfe was Incidentally
changed by a chance visit to this part
of the state while on a short vacation
He was so pleased with what he saw
that his resignation was soon speed
Ing to Washington before even his
vacation was finished.
Mr. Manning Is one of the most re
cent arrivals from the Isthmus of
Panama and he talks very interest
ingiy of the great work which Is be
Ing done there In the separation of
North and South America by the
United States in Its connection of the
two oceans by the narrow canal across
the Isthmus.
Being an employe of the govern
mem, ana naving supervision over
hundreds of men In the canal zone
Mr. Manning understands the sltua
tlon well. When Interviewed by
representative of the Capital New
about the great engineering feat be
ing accomplished at Panama, Mr,
Manning said:
Tells of the Canal.
comparatively few people under
sttyid or appreciate the great magni
tude of the Panama canal. It Is cer
talnly a wonderful work. In conned
tlon with the department of labor and
subsistence I spent the past two years
at the canal zone and was In a post
tlon to become very familiar with the
great work which Is being carried on
at the Isthmus by the United States.
"Our department takes charge of
furnishing quarters on the canal
as well as securing additional ones
from all over the country; their re
ceptlon at Panama and installation In
quarters. There are numerous other
duties which the present management
and system of providing for the men
employed In the zone as well as the
general plans followed towards dig.
glng the canal Uncle Sam has perfect
ed one of the greatest working ma
cnines of human beings which this
world has ever seen.
"The result Is that the dirt Is fil
ing In the canal trench and the mam
moth crew Is doing everything to
wards perfecting this waterway where
ocean meets ocean.
o less man 30,000 men are at
work on the canal. Of this number
5500 are Americans, 500 Europeans
and the balance natives of the West
Indies. This mammoth crew has to
be provided for every day In the
year. The srovernment nilnnto.t r.
ulation buildings, furnishing, etc.. for
them and today they are housed as
comrortable as any one would care to
be. The conditions have been made
sanitary so that the death rate has
Decome normal in the zone region.

sewerage, baths, etc., and Ice Is de

me uimospnere Is very warm, full of
humidity and sultry the men fare
very well.
me government lays down the
provision that every employe shall
work 10 months of the year and then
havo a vacation of six weeks with pay
during which time they must leave
the Isthmus and go to some other
country. The change has Its PffPnt
anu neips the men to stand the work.
ah or the heavy work Is done by the
West Indians. The Americans hold
down the carpenters, mechanics, fore-
mansnip, engineering and other Im
portant positions.
"When I tell you that during; the
month of April last 3,250,000 cubic
yards of dirt were taken out of the
canal you would hardly understand
the great amount this Involves. The
record during May of this year fell a
little below this, but the engineer in
charge of the canal are working to
make the record of 4,000.000 cubic
yards a month. That Is movlna- a
wonderful amount of earth.

ed along the entire distance of the
canal so far constructed and the dirt
Is taken away from the scene of ac
tivity to the lower ground where it Is
used to fill In. Great steam shovels
tear out six wagon loads at a spoon
ful and dump it Into cars which are
In waiting. When a tralnload Is fill
ed powerful engines rush the cars to
the end pf the line for dumpage.
Complete in Eight Tears.
"It is estimated that the Panama
canal will be completed In either 1915
or 1917. At the present time the great
Calubrla cut Is the knotty problem
which must . be solved by engineers.
Th,e canal after leading from the At
lantic coast strikes this mountain and
It Is now being cut in two.i It Is ad
mitted by experts to be an unknown
quantity. No one can say when the
great cut will be made through it. The
cut Is 400 feet deep. They are now
down 285 feet with still 115 to go. It
Is three miles through and Is the only
really difficult problem yet to be solv
ed In the great ditch. Trouble has
been experienced in this cut with the
sides of the mountain caving in and
filling. the canal.
Machinery Thrown Away.
"One remarkable thing ;ebout the
canal zone Is the great amount of ma
chinery which the French spent mil
Hons of dollars on and later abandon- Li
ed along the route of the canal. Do
you .know that sections of the town
of Cristobal, located on the Atlantic
side of the canal, Is built over re
claimed lands In which millions of
dollars worth of machinery, purchas
ed by the French to be used on the
canal and which, was never unpack
ed, was thrown Into these lowlands
and used with dirt to reclaim the
land? That Is an actual fact. No one
has ever taken the trouble to take out
this machinery and there It remains
today with houses built over It, in the
same boxes In which It was shipped
from France. The French had the
Ight Idea of the canal route and It Is
safe to say that they worked over
every foot of the ground which the
Americans are now covering. Along
this route machinery of all kinds and
descriptions still remains standing as
a memory of the past. The French
could never have taken care of the
dirt to be hauled out of the canal
with the machinery they had. As
many as 80 steam engines are to be
seen along the route In a body aban
doned and left to rot. Some of these
small engines have been brought into
use by our country, but they are not
large enough to haul the loads which
are now being hauled. The waste
along this line which greets one In
the canal zone Is astonishing.
COAL MINING IN
OKKGON
LAST YEAR.
The total production of coal in Ore
gon in 1307 was 70,981 snort tons,
having a spot value of $166,304, says
the United States geological survey
report.
The Coos bay field Is the only pro
ductive field In Oregon. It Is situat
ed In the southwestern part of the
state. In Coos county, and occupies a
total area of about 250 square miles,
its length north and south being
about 30 miles and Its maximum
breadth at the middle about 11 miles.
Among the other coal fields that
have been prospected In the state are
the Upper Nehalem field, in Columbia
county; the Lower Nehalem field, In
Clatsop and Tillamook counties; the
Taqulna field, in Lincoln county; the
Eckley and Shasta Costa fields, in
Curry county; the Eden field, in Coos
county, and the Rogue river valley
field, in Jackson county all west of
the Cascade range. None of these
fields have been developed to the
point .of production.
Another field lies in the basin of
John Day river, east of the Cascade
range, but little Is known concerning
It All the fields west of the range,
except the Coos bay, are of rather
small area, the largest being the Up
per Nehalem, which has an area of
less than 20 square miles.
The coal of all these fields Is llg-
nltlc. Its transportation Is confined
exclusively to Coos bay and the Pa
cific ocean, and San Francisco is the
principal market. The Coos bay field
Is divided by Its structure Into six
portions four basins and two arches.
The basins are known as the Newport,
the Beaver Slough, the Coquille and
the South Slough, and are separated
by Westport and Pulaski arches.
As practically all of the product
from Coos bay has been shipped by
water to San Francisco, the substltu
tlon of oil for coal in most of the
manufacturing Industries of that city
has cut off a considerable portion of
the market for this coal. The effect
on Oregon's production Is shown In a
decrease from 109,611 tons In 1905
to 76,731 In 1906 and to 70,901 In
1907. The decrease in value of the
1907 product was even more pro
nounced, for while the production
howed a decrease of 8,750 tons, or
10.97 per cent, the value declined
46,034, or 21.68 per cent. The av
erage price per ton declined from
J2.66 In 1906 to 12.34 In 1907.
GOVERNOR
HUGHES
WILL HUN
AGAIN
If Pnrty Wants Him, New York's Ex
wmlve Will Have the Office.
The announcement of Governor
Hughes that lie would accept the
nomination for governor If his party
wanted him to again be a-candidate
was not expected In political circles.
The opinion was generally expressed
that no opposition would be made to
renomlnatlon If a well defined sentl
ment developed demanding It.
Secretary Loeb at Oyster Bay said
that he would convey the announce
ment of Governor Hughes to Presl
dent Roosevelt Several of those ac
tive In the party's direction claim
to have Information that the presi
dent desired Governor Hughes to run
again, in the belief that it would
strengthen the ticket by attracting the-
independent vote.
State Chairman Timothy L. Wood
ruff Is at his summer home at Kemn
Kllleare In the Adirondack, where he
expects to confer with the state lead
ers on the gubernatorial situation In
few days.
Indiana Hunt for Treasurer.
Last night Chief Red Thunder, of
the Nez Perce Indians, accompanied
by T. B. Early; returned to the city,
and left this morning for the Wallowa
country. It will be remembered by
Observer readers that these two men
passed through La Grande a couple
of months ago, bound for the same
district, but were unable to accom
plish their errand, whatever It was,
on account of the depth of the snow.
Although denied ty Mr. Early, It Is
rumored that they are In search of a
fabulous lost mine, the locality of
which Is only known by Red Thun
der, having descended to him through
his father who was a brother of the
famous Chief Joseph. La Grande
