RY A “WANT" AD. IN THE TIMES FOR RESULTS
OREGON LEGISLATURE TO
CONSIDER LIMITATION OF
WOMEN’S HOURS OF LAS JO R
PORTLAND, Ore., Nov. 23.—A 48
hours of labor week law for women
will be placed before the Oregon state i
legislature when it meets the second !
Monday in January, by the Consumers !
league of Portland.
This act provides that women may
1 not work for wages more than 48j
j hours a week. It does not, however,
I limit their labor to eight hours a day.
The idea is that women may work
more than eight hours five days a
week, so they may have a half-holiday
on Saturdays.
The law is modeled generally after
J the California law. Father O’Hara, a
prominent member of the Consumers’
league, says a bill similar to this will
probably be submitted to all the state
legislatures assembling this year.
Another bill to be presented to the
Oregon legislature provides that own
ers of cold storage warehouses must
make monthly reports to certain des
a detailed inventory of all goods In
their plants. This law is intended to
halt the practice of storing perishables
such as butter, during a low price
period, and keeping them until the
prices go up.
RED CROSS STARTS
ITS CHRISTMAS ANTI
TUBERCULOSIC CAMPAIGN
i NEW YORK, Nov. 23.—The annual
| Christmas campaign of the committee
on prevention of tuberculosis of the
National Red Cross, to raise funds for
use in stamping out the white plague,
is under way today. Nine million of
the little “seals” for adornment of
Christmas packages are now avail
able at the New York headquarters. It
is expected that at least three and one
half millions will be sold in New York.
Gut of experience of former years
warning has been issued that the
“seals” are not postage. They are
merely decorations. Persons using
them on mailed packages are caution
ed not to forget to put on the required
number of postage stamps as well.

ALASKAN TO RAISE BLACK
FOXES IN WASHINGTON
SEATTLE, Nov. 20.—The .silver
black fox, which was so rare until re
cently that it was thought to be a
“freak of nature," thrives in the cli
mate of Washington, and when raised
for market brings in a tidy income,
says the P.-I. A. W. Tibbets, who
brought fourteen of them to the state
last February, said Monday at the
Arlington that he expected soon to
transport more of the animals from
his Alaska farm to stock a ranch in
the Cascades.
At Dry Creek, in the Copper River
valley, Alaska, Mr. Tibbets has more
than forty foxes, being raised for
breeding and their skins. At the
temporary farm which he established
last spring on Lake Washington the
young tenants are growing fat on a
diet of boiled rice, milk and . meat
scraps—about a pound a day per fox.
Up in Alaska they are fed one day on
wild rabbits and the next on dried
salmon, dried without salt.
“The silver-black fox is nearly ex
tinct,” said Mr. Tibbets, Monday. “In
eleven years in the Copper river val
ley I saw only two. It was found
that, contrary to popular opinion,
they would propagate in captivity,
and fox-raising has become a thriving
industry. On Prince Edward island,
Eastern Canada, none of the “farm
ed” foxes has been killed since 1910,
because the market is so good for
breeding animals. Ours is the only j
farm on the Pacific south of Alaska.”
MINING ON PHINCE
WILLIAM, ALASKA
The ore deposits of the Prince Wil
liam sound region may he grouped
broadly into two classes-—copper de
posits and gold-bearing quartz lodes.
The mineral associations in both gold
and copper deposits are in general
the same, so that the copper mines
produce large amounts of gold or sil
ver or both, and copper sulphide is
present in small amounts in many of
the gold quartz veins.
The known productive mines on
Prince William sound in 1915 include
four copper mines and five gold
mines. A much large quantity of
copper ore than of gold quartz was
mined and treated, and the total val ■
ue of the metals produced from the
copper ores was about five times that
obtained from the gold quartz ores.
The value of the total mineral pro
duction of the Prince William sound
region in 1915 was $1,340,000 as com
pared with $1,200,000 in 1914.
The above information as well as a
detailed description of the mines and j
prospects visited, is contained in a re
port entitled “Mining on Prince Wil
liam Sound, Alaska,” by B. L. John
son, recently issued by the United
States Geological Survey, Department
of the Interior, as Bulletin 42-D.
