Aii amendment to the 8-hour law
was proposed by Senator Heckman
exempting canneries from the appli
cation of the law. He held that the
enforcement of this law with respect
to canneries would ruin the business.
Joseph Marks, a Fairbanks tailor,
narrowly escaped death recently when
an explosion of gasoline set (ire to
his place of business. He managed to
escape from the building, but col
lapsed outside and was taken to the
hospital.
Reports from the lower Yukon
state that the dogs of the district are
dying otf rapidly with distemper, few
of the animals that have been there
for any length of time having escaped
the disease. The mail carriers have
suffered heavily.
A report from Kolmakoff, on the
Kuskokwim, states that during the
recent intensely cold weather the bod
ies of thousands of the small birds
which live all winter in Alaska, were
round in the snow under the trees,
apparently having frozen to death.
Owing to the limited appropriation
for the work, Commissioner Thomas'
Riggs at Nenana, has announced that
ill requisitions for material and con
struction have been cancelled and that
;he crews employed on the work will
oe no larger than last year.
As a result of the activities of At
torney General Grigsby, $12,000 of
the taxes due the territory by the
tanneries have been received by the
territorial treasurer within the past
few days and more than $100,000 ,s
an the way, according to the telegrams
received.
James Dixon, an employe of the
Alaska-Juneau mine, who accidentally
fell into the dump pit about ttree
weeks ago, striking on his head, and
who has been receiving treatment at
the St. Ann hospital at Juneau, died
from the effects of the wound a few
lays ago.
It is stated that many of the Alas
ka canneries this season are bringing
sheet tin along with their crews and
will make many of the cans they
jse this year instead of using the
‘made” cans which have been so
argely employed for several years
oast.
i onsioerame excitement was occa
sioned recently on Midway creek by
:he jumping of Williston’s ground,
rhe relocators claim that the original
daim.s were more than 1320 feet in
ength, contrary to the territorial law.
Legal proceedings will likely arise out
>f the jumping.
The officers working on the theft
>f the gold bricks from the Chicha
foff mine, express confidence that
hey have unearthed information
which will lead to the finding of the
fold in the near future. It is thought
:he precious metal was taken no
jjreat distance from the mine.
A second shipment of ten tons of
fold ore was sent out recently from
he Primrose mine, in the Kenai Lake
listrict, by Charles Hubbard, to the
racoma smelter. The ore is of such
ligh grade that it pays well even
with this expensive method of treat
nent.
Marcus K. Bringham, a 18-year-old
>mp!oye of the Alaska-Gastineau
Mining company at Thane, was crush
ed to death recently while employed
n removing a portion of the crusher.
\hout ten tons of ore went through
he crusher, killing him almost in
stantly.
By the explosion of a gasoline
orch which he was using in his work,
it the Treadwell foundry, Joe Deles
cr, a Belgian, sustained fearful burns
ibout the shoulder, arms and neck,
dis clothing was set on fire and he
lived into a large tank of water near
ly to extinguish the blaze.

ALASKA’S RICH
BE OPENED UP
(Juneau Dispatch.)
Senator Gauatad yesterday introduc
ed in the senate a memorial addressed
to the president, the senate and house
of representatives in which it is stated
that extensive and valuable oil fields,
the principal ones being Katalla-Chil
kat. JO1 2 miles square; Michawak, 4^
square miles, Kakatage, 21 V* square
miles, lie out to the westward, in all
52!2 square miles, only a small pro
portion of the known area of oil lands,:
all of which have been investigated!
and reported upon by oil experts, and
which show very rich yields. That the
oil is a high grade product and easily '
accessible, being on the coast of Alas
ka near Kayak island; and that there
are heavy seepages of oil at Katalla
meadow, Burls creek, the Barrett
claim and Chilkat, all in the Katalla
field, and the Yakatage, Yukon and
Cathleen creeks, all in the Nuchawak
field, and at Oil, Crooked 1‘oul and
Johnston creeks in the Yakatage field..
The memorial states that laboratory
tests show high percentages of distil
late and gas oil; that people residing
in close proximity to the fields use an
nually more than 7,000,000 gallons dis
tillate and gasoline in the general
course of their industrial and mari
time pursuits for which they are
forced to pay exorbitant prices owing
to long ditances from points of sun- j
ply, and that the oils are seeping away j
and going to waste.
In concluding congress is asked to
give attention to the formation of a
plan of leasing these oil lands on a 1
basis of one-eighth royalty or under
whatever provision or restrictions it'
deems proper to impose, that to the j
people of Alaska and the entire west- j
ern coast of the Unitcd^jritates may be
leased lands containing one of our I
richest resources for which there is at
this time real need.

1 OR DESIRABLE GERMAN DYES
Germany’s part in the world-wide
war has played havoc with the color
ing scheme. Germany has a comer on
the dye works and as yet the American
chemists have not found the secret.
However they have hit on some happy
combinations, for instance, what could
be more lion and lamb-like than the
striking combination of orange and
green which is popular with all classes,
especially the' Irish.
The chemists work in harmony with
the designer and the predominating |
colors in young ladies’ frocks and!
coats this year seem to run to orange, I
and yellow and green.
Formerly, and even yet in some j
parts of the country, these colors do j
not blend; in fact the reverse has been j
the order. Lack of Gel-man dyes no
doubt made the combination necessary
and also harmonious. The American
women are deep and perhaps it was
not alone on account of her sons that
she has been such a strong advocate of
peace; perhaps it was from another
standpoint than humanity that they
have marched and carried banners and
adopted the Ford dove as a household
God; perhaps it was because she want
ed the German dyes that she has
pushed such a strenuous peace cam
paign.
Be that as it may, yellow and green
are the popular colors among the
young ladies, just as much on Fourth
avenue in Anchorage as on any of the
numerous Broadways.
