A system of hydraulicking alluvaiI gravels in 8 creek bottom has been in troduced on Higet creek, in the upper Stewart river country, by Elmer Mid dlecoff, who is visiting the city, says d recent issue of the Dawson News
 Mir Middlecoff is greatly pleased with the results of his new scheme, and declares 1t goes a long way toward solving the problem of handling placer gravels in the Northland He says;
 My system is to hydraulic the gravel and all overburden and what ever other material is in the way into a bedrock drain or flume and to shovel out the tailings with clam shell bucket. l had the plant in full opera ton this season and uncovered 50,000 square feet of bedrock in ground over twenty feet deep. Part of this ground was uncovered by the hydraulic and -sluicing system and part of the material was handled from tno surface. 1 had all average of seven to ten men employed on the job.

RICHMOND BREAD

ING PROBLEM.

Because of the recent rapid advance

advance In the price OF bread in sew
era Of the largest cities of the coun.
try. it is considered highly probable
that, IL wheat remains at it's present
level. an advance in the price Of bread
or uniform decrease in the size Of
the loaf generally sold may be ex-
pected in Richmond. +.
From what could be gathered yes
terday II appears that the only thing
now keeping down the price Of bread
is the fact that none OF the bakers
wish to take the initiative In raising
their price.
1t is costing about fifty per cent
more to make bread now than II did
before the outbreak of the war.
Bakers do not want to advance the
price for bread. neither do they want.
TO decrease the size OF the loaf Doe

FIFTEEN ARE AFTER
HEAD Of BUREAU

MANY CANDIDATES AT MEET.
ING TONIGHT.
w HAT 1T CAN DO
AsPfBANT GIVES IDEAS OF d.
TIES or MANAGER OF NEW
CITY EMPLOYMENT
BUREAU.

Interest at the City Hail tonight
will be centered upon the action or
the new Employment Bureau Board.
which will endeavor to select a man
ager and clerk to have charge Of
the bureau.
A number of applications for the
TWO positions have been made. mostly
by apparently wellqualified men.
While the Office OF manager OF the
bureau is, in itself, a comparatively
small one. there are great possihili-
ties ahead, and with a capable man
at the helm. 1t is said. the bureau
may prove valuable adjunct to the
City Government
In speaking of the bureau yester-
day. one of the aspirants for the
management declared that from his
view the new department could be
made Of vast importance to the peo-
pie OF not only the city, but the
State.
Open to Whole People.
"A student of sociology can see
at glance that there is much room
for suctl an institution here" he
said. The bureau must be open to
the whole people. 1t must have men
in its conduct who can get next to
the human interest side of the peo-
pie. men with large and sympathetic
hearts. although men with ffrmness
and with knowledge of laws. There
must be cooperation between the bu-
reau, the churches, the business or
CARNATIONS, the charitable societies,
manufacturers and all classes of en-
ployers.
The manager OF the bureau must
work in conjunction with the Cham
Der OF Commerce and similar orGant-
2ations- He must make work for the
men out of work. He must induce
the manufacturers to come mere with
a branch of his plant II not the en-
tire plant. He must systematic the
work--keep in touch with every mkn
oct OF work. and every man who em-
pioys. He should keep posted on the
labor situation In every section OF the
country.
The Summing Up.
'fn word, the man at the head
of the Employment Bureau must be
public spirited, posted on the condt.
ton OF affairs be in touch with pub
lie matters have a fellow feeling,
gentle spirit, kind heart and SYM
pathetic nature. and firm in detail.
And he must make up his mind to
work hard, for the job In for no sfas.
gard.
The Ave members OF the board are
representative citizens They are pub
lie spirited and will, undoubtedly,
look out. SO far az they can. for this
interests OF those for whom the hu-
reau was created. They are:

There are about fifteen candidates
