Simpson re ceived Friday fuom his son Harold, .who Is with tho 65th regiment of Ore ton Coast Artillery on their way to the scenes of the big conflict. The fathers and mothers of Ashland who have known that their sons were somewhere mldocean among the dan gers that lurk unseen in the subma rine zone can at least draw a breath of relief In the knowledge that- the ocean part of their journey is over. The telegram Mr. Simpson received vas released from New York, and had been filed by Harold previous to his calling. Instructions had been given the boys to address postcards to their families telling them of their safe ar rival, and theso were filed before the transport left the United States. As soon as tidings of the landing of the transport on the other sido were ca bled to Kew York, these mesages y ere to be released, thereby expedit ing matters considerably In getting news to the home folks. Instead of waiting for a postcard to come from New York, Harold Simpson filed a telegram, which reached Ashland sev eral days before word, could come by xuail.

These boys slept on the deck of the trans port going from fean Francisco to New York with thirty other soldiers, and when the transport readied the east coast one of the boys was found 111 with scarlet fever. All on that deck were placed in quarantine and will be sent abroad later. Mrs. C. M. Summers received a let ter last week from her son Clem, who Is with the Halnbow division of Cali fornia Engineers, "Somewhere in France." Clem stated that he was located where he could see tho air plane battles between the French and Cermans every day. A short time ago he witnessed a very stirring bat tle In which the German airplane was driven back to Its own lines by the Frenchman. This young man, who has been In France for the past seven months, writes that he Is perfectly well.and that while they work hard, ' - 1, X 1 1 If la ,.A.v ail WIG IIUJS KIC uai'l'J.

Word has been received that Leroy Graham, a former resident of Grants Pass, Is a prisoner at Kiel, Germany. Graham was a member of the crew of the schooner Encore which left Portland last May with a cargo of lumber, and fell a victim of the raid er Wolff. News concerning Graham was sent to Portland by the bureau of navigation, department of 'Com merce, and was received by the bu reau from the naval attache at Co penhagen. Mr. rfnd Mr3. J. W.

Earl's letter stated that he had been in the base hospital for two weeks with rheumatism. He has been In the service for over a year and has somewhere mldocean among the dan time of testing, motors. Huston is In the, photograph department of the aviation co:-p3. Huston and Earl Ling are brothers of Harvey Ling, ssn-ln-law ol Mr; and Mrs. B. R. Greer and former bookkeeper at the Tiding3 offlco. James Bowers, who wont to Fort Stevens on March 29 with the first contingent of the second draft, wrote to his father, Benton Bowers, Sr., that they have mighty good quarters and good grub where he Is located. He states that he is working for tho biggest company he ever struck, as there are about 30,000 men "em ployed in tho works." PRO-GERMANS SHOULD NOT DESECRATE FLAG D. E. Yoran told the students of one of the Eugene schools a few days ago that compelling pro-Germans to klsu the American flag is nothing less than a shameful desecration, says the Eugene Register1, and we are inclined to think that we have hca:d no saner or more truly patriotic utterance than this in the whole discussion of pro-Germanism. The mob that com pels a kalser-worshlpper to touch, his blasphemous lips to the Stars and Stripe3 is profaning the national em blem. To our mind, the kiss of Judas was tho greatest insult offered to Christ. The American flag Is the emblem of liberty for the common man and of equality of opportunity for all J Thousands upon thousands or brave men have died cheerfully for what that flag stands- for, aud thousands more will yet die in the same cause. It is universnlly recognized that wherever the American flag flies thero will be found freedom and jus tice and guarantee of the rights of every individual. The men who are following the flag In France today are fighting for an Ideal that Is so high and so pure that the warped and shrivelled Intellects of the rulers of the central empires can not even begin to grasp It. The pro-German in America Is an upholder of the cult that might makes right. He believes In the di vine right of degenerate kings to do as they please with the lives and the property of their subjects. He Is an admirer of all the oppression and all the butchery and all the foul crimes of lust that have been done In the name of Germany. He believes im plicitly that all men arenot created free and equal . and that it is the in alienable right of the few to tyran nize over the many. Shall we permit such a man to touch his lips to the American flag let alone compelling hlra to? With Mr. Yoran, we say no. Siskiyou County Chrome Industry Within tho past eighteen months chrome mining lias taken first place in the mining industry of Siskiyou county. It was not until shortly af ter the war started that the price.ol chrome reached a figuro to Induce miners to prospect for the mineral. The chrome found in the vicinity ot Yreka has proved to be over the aver age percentage in value and has al ways found a ready sale, says the Yreka New3. Chrome in Siskiyou is still In its infancy, having been mined similar to the way gold ore was mined in the early fifties just skimmed over the top or gophered, the real values being at great depth. It has now been demonstrated that chrome ore Is being found of a higher grade hy following the seani3 of the first deposit 'down or into the hill, and that the second and third depos its are as "a rule larger and richer. Since the first of June, 1917, six carloads of chrome have been shipped from the Yreka railroad depot. About 80 per cent of the tonnage has been mined within a few miles of Yreka, the balance coming from Scott valley. As near as can be found from In quiries, thera are about seven car loads of the mineral on different dumps, within a few miles of Yreka, ready to be shipped as soon as the roads are in condition to bear heavy traffic. From Inquiries made, the prospecting for chrome in northern Siskiyou will increase very largely this year. During the past season there was hardly a day that there was not from one to three agents here looking after the chrome develop ments of Siskiyou and making coir tracts for purchase. When chrome averages nearly 47 per cent in grade, ranging from. 3 5 to 5S per cent, it is a paying investment both for the miner and buyer. The mineral is being found in large quantities near Gazelle and over the divide in Plowman's valley and In the Callahan district. Scott valley has been a producer for the past year, but not as large as the districts near er to the railroad. Little Humbug is coming to the front as indicated by reports of deposits found in that dis trict. Several prospectors, who have during the past few months been de veloping their properties, have tons of high grade ore on the dumps and are still opening the deposits. Considerable work was done on a mine located between Hamburg and Seiad during the season of 1917, and from reports of assays made, and from miners who worked In the mine, the ore is of a very high grade and the deposits over the average. TI1I3 property is owned by Yreka parties. A deposit near GottvUle was opened last fall by parties residing, In that district which, after being thoroughly assayed and considerable work being done, was purchased by San Fran cisco parties who are now preparing to develop the property. The pros pects are that the ore Is above the average In values and It shows Indi cations of branching out to make a large mine. Tho shipment of ores from the Klamath river will not be made until the roads are in condition and railroad transportation can be obtained. AMERICAN EFFICIENCY SAVES ISS OF ROATS Acting on orders from the German government, the officers and crews of the German ships Interned In American waters inflicted such dam age unon the machinery of the ves sels as they deemed absolutely cer tain to keep the ships out of servlco for two years. By that time the Ger mans thought tho war would be over. But American efficiency and Amer ican invention effected the necessary repairs in from six to eight months and at a cost of ?273,000. The Ger mans had figured the cost of repairs at $2',C00,000 and the necessary time 24 months. All of these ships, except one that has been sunk, are now bearing Smerlcan commerce on the seas or transporting American soldiers to Europe. The navy department fig ures that the use of these ships be tween the time the Bhlps were actu ally repaired and the time the Ger mans estimated they could be re paired will be worth $240,000,000 to the government at the present rate of tonnage.

Americans are able to operate this ship at a higher rate of speed than the Germans were able to do, and do this with 200 tons of coal less a day. The Leviathan has one American captain In place of five German cap tains of the Vaterland, and one American chief engineer instead of a chief engineer and five assistants that German efficiency required. RESEUVATIOX MADE FOR A SIXGM TREE Except for two national reserva tions made for the conservation of curative springs, the smallest nation el park is General Grant. It con tains only four square miles and was created to protect one tree. But the General Grant tree Is worth a national park all to Itself. It 1.3 a giant sequoia, and, next to one, Is the biggest and the oldest living thing In the wide world. It Is 35 feet through from bark to bark, and 264 feet high. It is not far from 4,000 Vears old. The one living thing that is bigger and older is the General Sherman tree In the Sequoia $890 F.' O. B. ASHLAND.

The General Grant tree Is not the only sequoia in the little national park, however. Tt is the biggest of a fine grove of sequoia trees The General Grant national park Is a spot of profound beauty. It is a wild gar den ot wonderful luxuriance. In which all the great trees for which California Is famous attain their largest dimensions, and which Is glorious in summer with tho bloom of innumerable shrubs and flowering plants.
