PORTLAND CHINAMAN ; ' ON TRIAL FOR MURDER ANOTHER MINING POSSIBIILITY. For the first time In the mining history of southern Oregon there Is Inquiry regarding the deposits of chromic iron ' ore, and this metal which la found In a number of locali ties here is about to be mined in a commercial way. The only chrome Iron ore In the United States Is on the west coast, and unfortunately the demand for It is la the tar east, the balk of that used there being import ed because the freight rates from the west proied prohibitive. The cutting off of importations from across the water, and the Increased demand for the mineral, has caused the activity on the" west coast, and will result In the working of the deposits which are located in Josephine county. . ' Chromium Is a metal which when alloyed with steel gives to it hardness land toughness that make it useful in the manufacture of automobile steels, j armor plate; armor-piercing projec tiles; the shoes and dies of stamp mills, and tires ,for rools used In crushing ores; tool steels; and In other steels' to which it Is desired to give hardness' and Roughness. The ., huge orders placed.'in this country for war materials have not only re sulted in a great demand for chro mium steels to be' used directly for purposes of war but have led to the Increased manufacture of special steels for cutting shells, rifle barrels, and other instruments of war, and are reflected in increased metal min ing and greater consequent use of chromium steels for crushing ma chinery. "'' Practically the only mineral used as a source of chromium Is chromic iron ore, known as chromite. Chrom ite Is largely imported, but Importa tions have been much interrupted by the war, and as a result the produc ' tlon of chromic Iron In the United States was last year greatly Increased. .' . According to J. S. Diller, of the .'United "... States geological survey, whose report is now in press, the chromic iron ore marketed in 1915 amounted to 3,281 long tons, valued at $36,744. in 1914 only 591 long tons, valued at $8,715, were sold. Portland, April IS. The after math of the recent coast-wide tong war was' heard today with the be ginning of the trial of Louie Wing, alias Ah Loy, charged with murder ing Leong Yin Luck.

Ireland's Patron. The first day of February la the an niversary of St Bride, or Bridget tne "patroness" of Ireland and of Fleet street She was the beautiful daughter of an Irish bard, and her story seems to have fired the Celtic imagination. Wherever the early Irish missionaries wandered In western Europe, from Co logne to Seville, churches or abbeys will be found dedicated to her honor. and wherever the "exiles of Erin" may migrate the name of Bridget marks a woman of Irish race. Tbe spire of her church In Fleet street has been re peatedly struck by Ilgbtnlng and Is now much reduced in height but re mains one of tbe three tallest steeples In London.

Ton years ago today San Branolsco was In flames. Its buildings were In rulus and Its people were in flight. Grief, death and destruction reigned. Today, with hardly a trace of the disaster left in the whole city, San Francisco "is "celebrating its' "tenth' birthday." Ita buildings have arisen, bigger ; and ' better than evor. ' Its people have returned and they have brought thousands of others with them. San Francisco has "come back." , The principal exercises are to take place tonight in a civic auditorium, erected on the site of the old Me chanics Pavilion, where ten years ago the wounded and mangled were; placed In Buffering rows, only to bo dragged out and carried on again in retreat be-fore the advance of the flames. Thirty thousand people arer expected to attend. 1 When the doors open the new civic center, dominated by the golden j dome of the city hall, will be pa- j trolled by squads of smartly uniform-1 ed California Grays, marching where. the grim militiamen and regulars under Funston fought ghouls and ; maintained martial law when the city was destroyed.

Withdraw- al of the American expedition from Mexico within the next month la like ly, may be without "getting" Fran cisco Villa. But It will not come until the war department's orders to break up all Villlsta bands are fulfilled or the Car ranzlstas are able to take up tbe task. Tbe United Press learned that while there has been no change In policy determined upon yet, the ad ministration Is at least giving thought to the possibility of a withdrawal without Villa's death or capture be ing accomplished. Tbe administration feels that it has accomplished an enormous task. The American troops have driven the VUlistas 400 miles from tbe border, robbed Villa of any glory for being the flrBt Mexican In halt a century i to invade the United States and kill! grlngoes," have checked tbe likeli hood of another revolution In north ern Mexico, virtually assured the bor der against raids for some time to come and have about finished the Job of scattering the bandit's units. 1 The reports of Villa's death were taken with a grain of salt in the ab-' sence of American confirmation. Mexican accounts of his demise and the administration's future policy were considered at the cabinet meet ing. The course to be taken as a re sult of the Parral affair was given particular attention. .

He said the ; first chief was not inclined to discuss the matter further pending ttie ar rival of the reply. yg A?k that You "Count the Raisins" When yon buy onr product ,'r '" . - ' - yon secure the genuine CALIFORNIA RAISIN BREAD 'W' 4 It 'I i '' mm n . 0'r Made with pun-Maid Kaisins.
