ALASKA PRODUCES I VALUABLE MINERAL In 1917 Alaska produced minerals valued at $41,760,000. These are the advance figures Issued by the United States Geological Survey, De partment of the Interior, and are based on estimates made by G. C Martin. The value of the mineral output of Alaska in 1917, although about $6,870,000 less than that in 1916, was greater than that In any other year. The most valuable mln eral product In 1917 was copper, of which S8, 200, 000 pounds, valued at $24,000,000, was produced. This is less than the output of 1916, which was llfl.600,000 pounds, valued at $29,480,000, but Is greater than that of any other year, Tho reduction Is due larjwly to labor troubles and Is not necessarily permanent. The gold produced In 1917, $15,450,000, of which $9, 850,000 was derived from placer mines, was also less than that produced In 1916, which was $17,- 240,000, and Is the smallest since 1904. The reduction was due chiefly to curtailment of operations because of the scarcity of labor and the high cost of materials, but in part to the disaster at the Treadwell mine and the depletion of some of the richer placers. During the year Alaska also prO' duced silver valued at $1,050,000 coal valued at $300,000, lead valued at $160,000, tin valued at $160,000, antimony valued at $40,000, and tungsten, chromium, petroleum, mar ble, gypsum, graphite and platinum valued at $600,000. During 33 years of mining Alaska has produced more than $391,000, 000 in gold, silver, copper and other minerals. Of this amount $293, 000,000 represents the value of the gold and $88,200,000 that of the copper. .MANY PERMITS FOR IRRIGATING ISSUED One hundred and nine permits to appropriate water and nine permits to construct reservoirs, Including the irrigation of land aggregating 10,639 acres, aDd water supply for three on- nicipalitles, with an estimated cost of construction totaling $294,887, were issued by State Engineer John H. Lewis during the last quarter of the year 1917. In the county of Josephine ten per mits were Issued, including the irri gation of land aggregating 1,059 acres, with an estimated cost of con struction totaling $16,600. The per nios Issued to parties irrigating the largest' number of acres are consid ered more Important in making up the above figures. Permits were is sued to the Cottonwood Irrigation Company of Hornbrook, to Irrigate 930 acres from Grouse creek; to Car rie P. Anderson of Selma, to Irrigate 70 acres from an unnamed creek; to T. J. Wllklson of Williams, to Irri gate five acres from neighboring r.prlngs; to John F. Murphy of Porta Costa, to Irrigate 25 acres from neighboring springs. The Oregon- California Railroad Company secured r permit to appropriate the waters of Rogue river for railroad purposes. Fourteen permits were Issued to Jackson county, Including the Irriga tion of 448 acres, with an estimated cost of construction aggregating $5,- 773. Some of the more Important permits issued were those secured as follows: To Thomas Stanley of Butte Falls, to Irrigate 138 acres from spring tributaries; to the Waldo Smelting & Mining Company, to Irri gate 42 acres on Page creek; to Jt D. Culbertson of Lake Creek, to Irrigate 24 acres from Little Butte creek; to Gus Nichols and J. II. Stanley of Brownsboro and Eagle Point, to Irri gate 230 acres from Fourbit creek; to N. G. Johnston of Rogue River, to irrigate 26 acres from Pleasant creek; to W. T. McAllister of Grants Pass, to Irrigate 10 acres from Dutcher creek; to J. W. Bailey of Talent, to Irrigate 33 acres from An derson creek. The largest number of acres con trolled by one permit during the past period was that of the Malheur Live stock & Land Company in Malheur county, which aggregated 2,000 acres. TOY BANK CONTENTS SHOULD BE EMITIKH Enough small coins should be shaken out of the toy banks In this country to relieve the present strln gency In pennies, nickels and dimes a stringency that Is keeping the United States mints working 24 hours every day, Including Sunday, turning out "change." The passage of the war revenue bill has created an enor mous demand for the smaller coins, partlcular'y pennies and the sugges tion that children's banks be requisl tloned to relieve conditions comes from Raymond T. Baker, director of the mint. I'r. Baker argues that chil dren's savlnga Invested lnnvar savings stamps w ill be of greater value to the child than tied up in a bank, because U will be drawing Interest and releas ing of the coins for circulation will be of great value to the government. "Millions and millions of dollars In minor coins," says Mn. Baker, "are now Idle In toy banks, coin savers and other receptacles, used chiefly by children In accumulating savings. The saving of small coins Is a habit of thrift by no means reprehensible, but a truer method of accomplishing thrift and at the same time aiding the United States government, has been provided through the Issuance of thrift stamps and war savings stamps." Twenty-five cents will start a savings account with Uncle Sam, and the editor will be glad to explain to you the details of the plan. Clatskanle's first victim of the world war was buried with Impressive military honors there Wednesday af ternoon, when the last rites were said over Alfred Lloyd Hjelbe.-g. A squad of soldiers from Fort Stevens, under command of a corporal came there to give a military escort to the body, and the soldiers fired three volleys over the grave of their late comrade, after the bugler had sounded taps. There were over 500 people at the funeral. Have Tour Clothes Hade at Home John John the Tailor A Fit or ClanVn; and Pressing Pure fink re wrca"' Norton's Clover Leaf Dairy E. N.

Good Ser vice to Any Part of Town Fire Loss In Year Is Over $10,000 Statistics recently compiled show that the local forest office last sea son' extinguished 175 forest fires, of which 142 were in Jackson county. These Jackson county fires covered a total of 12,990 acres, and destroyed 19,873,000 feet of timber valued at $10,073. The total amount expended In fire fighting by the forest service was $44,277, of which $38,040 was spent in Jackson county. The causes of the 142 fires occur ring on the national forest In Jack son are given as follows: Lightning, 7J; Incendiary, 25; brush burning, campers, 13; unknown, 23; mis cellaneous, 9. Thcte figures do not n elude fires handled by the Jackson County Fire Patrol Association, al though the forest service and the as sociation co-operated on some fires included in these figures. It Is interesting to note that 28 per cent of the number of fires were caused by incendiary, brush burning and campers, largely preventable causes, while 17 per cent of the total are charged to Incendiarism, a purely criminal cause. These proportions would undoubtedly be Increased were all the causes of the "unknown" and "miscellaneous" declared. S. 1.
