BUILD WAGON ROAD

while last week. has but recently re-
turned from a visit to mines he and
others own over on the head OF
Chetco river and In that vicinity. says
the Gold Beach Reporter He re-
ports unusual activity In the mines
In that locality Recent discovery
has been made OF chrome ore in the
Oak Flat country on the Illinois. and
preparations are being made to open
up a wagon road to the property from
Selma. This road would come with

ed, and would give them chance
to work and ship ore from their
claim. which has been found by test
to contain ore running over 81 per
cent chrome. They also have an iron
and copper proposition over there
that they hope soon to do something
with. Adjoining this is the wen
known Higgins claim, which recently
took out $4,000 In gold. and Mr..
Cooley was present to get a good look
at the yellow metal.
The unusual and urgent demand
for certain minerals common to
southwestern Oregon seems likely to
lead to the development Of some
prominent mines along the border Of
Curry and Josephine counties In the
near future, as a large amount Of de-
velopment work Is being done on
promising claims, as well as consid-
erable prospecting.

TT the United States, you no
II l. longer need pay in your scanty
II ~ hard-earned dollars to the en-
IrVSsRo ployment bureaus of your
E4AN cities, that so often prove de
zssxss-a=-l fusion and a snare. The gov
ernment has established a
Woman's Division in the great Federal EN-
ployment Bureau Of the Department of Labor
solely for the purpose of improving the wage
earning opportunities and conditions of the
women and girls who need and want this
kind Of help.
Whether you live in Alaska, Florida, Maine
or the wilds of Wyoming, the services of this
new bureau are yours for the asking
II you are seeking a nursemaid for your
baby, clerk for your store, cook, laundress'
fruit picker, typist companion or seamstress'
or il you are looking for place to earn a liv-
ing in any capacity other than in professional
lines. all that is needed is to file your appll-
cation with Uncle Sans busy agents and at
once the ball will be started rolling TO gather
up some aid for you.
While the efforts of the Federal Employ
ment Bureau have been engaged for some
years in securing jobs for jobless men and
helpers for employers wanting workers, 1t Is
only recently that the needs of women IN the
industrial world have been given the same
measure Of consideration.
JOBS SECURED FOR WOMEN WORKERS.
through this plan the bureau now IS con-
fronted with a gigantic problem OF national
scope. There is no more important or DIM
cult problem for national consideration than
that of the vast army Of the unemployed IN
this country, which averages more than 2,OOO,-
600 persons at all seasons, of whom fully 20
per cent are women.
The work Of the bureau, under the Commls-
sioner General Of immigration. Anthony Can't
netti. has been proved an unqualified success
nlacing as it has thousands Of unoccupied men
scattered throughout the cities in the lumber
camps. mines and farms, where there was
plenty Of work waiting for the willing laborer.
Although this agency started out primarily
in the interest Of the ck-tO-the-farm-move-
roeDt, by aiding the farmer to handle his har-
vest through furnishing him with helpers, 1t
has continued 70 expand its scope until now
nractically every line of industry is listed on
is reoisters. When the woman's division
y-as manned il was at once decided not to limit
he positions sought to those Of domestic ser
yice. but to make the system of a nature to AID

territory two or more states, several have but
one, as Maryland with headquarters in Balti-
more, or Washington, with headquarters IN
Seattle.
Besides the station headquarters there are
eighty sub-branches. Other zone headquarters
are New York City, Philadelphia, Norfolk, Va;
Jacksonville, Fla; New Orleans, La; Calves
ton, Texas; Cleveland, Ohio; Minneapolis,
Mimi; St. Louis, Mo-; Denver, COL; Helena,
Mont; San Francisco, Cal, and Los Angeles,
Cal.
In six of these cities women have already
been assigned to take charge Of the work for
women and girls and their instructions are
very explicit.
"Applicants must be classified as to age,
so that only those Orer the age Of sixteen shall
be considered for or directed to employment;
all those approaching or obove that age shall
be qiven Information on hand in aid Of 20

could accomplish more in the interest Of their
sisters than men, the plan included the Sc
lection of trained and experienced women to
address women's clubs, societies and organl-
cations, charitable, philanthropic and welfare
organizations for the purpose of interesting
employers in the woman wage Garner.
Commissioner General Caminetti has de-
clared that the world holds no higher or more
important work for women than is to be found
in their working for the betterment of the in
dustrial conditions of the country, particularly
in the interest Of women. If every woman
who belongs to a club or a society Of any sort
would impose upon herself the obligation OF
seeking out at least one opportunity for some
man or woman to find work the unemployed
problem would be greatly diminished.
HOW THE POSTOFFICE HELPS.
The Bureau of Investigation, through this
new division, aims to afford to the residents
of the remotest rural sections, as well as the
occupants Of the cities, the information con-
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1916-10-01

corning the opportunities for securing help
and work. SO thorough is the plan that both
classes of applicants are provided with printed
application blanks, which must be filled out
and signed
In the case of the employe, the names and
addresses Of two former employers must be
given, as well as the age height, weight, place
Of nativity of the applicant and, if of foreign
birth, the number of years residence in the
United States The trade or calling must be
given, also the wages expected, whether mar
ried or single, and if married the names of
husband and children, whether or not family
must accompany applicant, the amount of
money she would be willing to spend for rail
road or other transportation TO place of en-
ployment, the languages spoken, reason for
loss of two former positions, the wages re-
ceived in them, physical conditions, etc.
When this has been filled out 1t Is returned

every woman wage Garner who applied for its
services.
HOW DEPARTMENTS PULL TOGETHER.
In the development of this scheme the CO.
operation of four of the big departments of
the government was sought by the Depart
ment of Labor TO help organize system com
pete and harmonious, under which city, state
and national governments all combine to pro-
mote this benevolent purpose. The Postoffice
Department, through its $4,000 postoflices, dis
seminates the information by means of attrac-
tive posters and by supplying and mailing the
applications, while the Interior Department,
Department Of Agriculture and Department
Of Commerce each contributes its quota of
assistance in the plan which includes the
establishment Of stations in every big city
in the country.
To facilitate the work the country was di-
vided into eighteen zones of distribution, each
one having its headquarters in a large city.
For instance, the first zone, including Massa-
cbusetts Rhode Island and Maine, has Its
headquarters in Boston. with sub-branches In
Portland. Me-, Providence, r. l., and New Bed
ford, Mass.
Though most of the zones include in their

TO the postofice direct or through the rural mali
carrier, all of whom carry both classes or
blanks. when it will be forwarded to the proper
office Of the Department of Labor for action.
No postage is required when thus returned,
and the applicant will be notified when the
kind of work desired is available.
The same process is followed in the sta
tons, except that the applicant has the ad-
vantage of the personal appeal, for by talk
ing over her needs with the woman Official IN
charge a better understanding of her quail
fications are obtained and the officer gets a
clearer idea of the sort of position IN which
the woman would be likely to do the best
work. Another advantage is the opportunity
for the employer and the would-be employe
to meet being brought together by the officer
for the purpose of discussing their respective
and mutual demands before any arrangement
has been made.
The majority of the applications that come
in call for individual attention While GER
tain set rules are observed, there are always
personal elements and eccentricities that no
definite set of rules can entirely meet; there
fore tact and experience the best assets
detail OF the cases that come to them.
CATECHISM OF EMPLOYERS.
For the employer who seeks worker there
is another blank requiring most detailed In
formation; also references as to his or her
standing in the community, integrity in bust
ness. etc. as no woman or girl is sent to any
place of employment until its character Is
30, bo caticfacfiOn OF
the official of the station. Furthermore, no
women or girls are advised to leave one COM
lnunity to work elsewhere unless there is defl-
mite knowledge of the conditions that prevail
in the places wanting women workers. Inc
plan is to have concise records kept OF the
industrial history of each applicant, in order
that her degree of experience and also her
ability may be known.
While the great majority of applications
arc for work of domestic nature, many city
women. tired of the steady commercial grind
of factories and other industrial concerns, nave
found more congenial work in the smaller cities
and towns. Of these already there are quite
a number who have become convinced OF the
advantages of work in private homes, and
there are thousands of homes where such ser
vice is desired and sought.
All over the land there are the huge farms,
plantations, estates and ranches where the
size and equipment demand business manage
ment and where there is need for clerks, book
keepers, typists, secretaries and stenOgraphers,
as we'll as domestic help and farm help. In
many cases governesses are needed for the
children, companions and attendants for aged
and invalids.
In the big dairy and poultry plants, as well
as the stock farms, modern methods are the

public employment agencies of the vicinity, If
there happen TO be any; If not, then according
to the trades and vocations there established,
and should be divided into three groups tenn
porary, seasonal and permanent. Applicants
should be given information about opportuni-
ties listed and should be advised for filling
them according to their abilities ana training,
with a view to their advancement TO better
positions and their progress in efficiency"
The policy of the women and girls division,
for the establishment of which a bill was in
troduced in Congress, is not only TO direct and
aid in finding work for its applicants, but TO
continue its interest in them after they have
been placed, through the supervision Of the
nearest local officer who is directed to look
them up from time to time to note their wei
fare and progress.
Nor does the work stop with the applicants
and employers. With the belief that women
