THTRSDAY, SEPTEMBER &, 1918
OREGON WEATHER
Fair, gentle northerly wind.
' ONE SEASON NOT ENOl'GH
A dispatch from Washington states
that Senator Chamberlain was ad
vised by the war Industries board
that "there will be a market for
ehromtte produced during the re
mainder ot the present season at the
average price prevailing during the
past summer."
This statement merely verifies for
mer assurances from the war board
that present prices would remain sta
ble for the balance of this year, and
it Is understood that the majority ot
chrome ore operators have contracted
tor the balance ot their output this
year. But the war board's assurances
to Senator Chamberlain do not touch
tb market after the close of the
present season. (
Many an operator has Just finish
ed developing his chrome property
and finished building a road to the
same so that the or can be gotten
to a railroad shipping point. They
were urged by government represen
tatives to produce chrome In large
quantities, and they have done so,
. and now that they are equipped to
ship the ore, through the expenditure
of large sums in the construction of
roads, there are rumors of a fluctu
ating market, with a downward
trend.
The chrome proposition was not
one that could be developed In a day,
one of the obstacles in most cases
being the necessity of building ex
pensive roads. American . citizens
have Invested their money In the de
velopment of these chrome mines and
It would seem no more than a square
deal for the government to protect
them In the way of showing a prefer
ence for tbe home product and llm
King Importations. -
However, Senator McNary states
In a telegram yesterday that he hopes
to persuade the government to estab
lish a stable price for chrome ore for
next year, a price that will Justify
producers keeping their mines in
operation. The senator said: "lam
doing all I can to get a price estab
llshed which will protect the chrome
producers for next year." Some say
it Is "politics," but call It what you
may, If tbe chrome situation can be
kept on a paying basis next year It
means much to the state of Oregon
HOLLAND'S DILEMMA

can be offered the Hollander. Four
hundred thousand tons of Dutch
shipping are aald to be tied up in
European waters.
Holland Is to be pitied. Appar
ently she la between th devil and
the deep blue. German haa Intim
idated her. 8he la afraid to make a
move lest the red-handed Prussians
pounce upon her and convert the
country Into a second Belgium. But
acute hunger Is said to be forcing

Amsterdam Infantry were compelled
to fire npon a crowd of starving In

mob stoned tbe soldiers and more
serious trouble Is expected at any
time.

This Is a busy week in Grants Pass.
Tomorrow tbe "Yellow Demon" will
be here, tomorrow night Is the big
meeting tor registrants, the Red
Cross is busy, the ladies are gather
ing clothes for the Belgians, the Red
Cross carnival will hold sway Fri
day and Saturday, and the Liberty
loan committees are putting In full
time without receiving a cent for
their labor; but they have an Interest
In this country and are showing their
loyalty.
In urging that spies and traitors in
this country be tried by military
courts and not by the civil courts,
Col. Roosevelt cays: "The German
spies and secret agents and dynaml
ters and murders In this country are
as much a part of Germany as the
soldiers or von Hlndenburg. We
have been at war IS months but not
one spy bas thus far been punished.
This means grave remission In the
performance of our duty."
McAdoo Is getting after the rich.
Good work Mac, roast 'em on both
sides. Tbe man who buys )1,000

$5,000, or $10,000 worth Is more of
a slacker than the one wno migni,

"He shouts to the pilot to turn.
and on hug wing climbs toward the
stars aa the machine sweeps round
and away from the welter of shells
and searchlights that the explosion
of the bombs will bring.
Gating downward, the observer
see at th edge of th quay a red
spurt ot flam which slowly . dies
away. Two other follow, In the
water where II destroyers and sub
marines, and then mors and more
burst on the sheds In the middle. A
white sheet of flam bursts from one
shed, and fading slowly leave a red
glare. An ammunition store has
been blown' up. The other bombs
burst across the wharves and crowd
ed basins, leaving huge clouds of
white smoke where they have
wrought destruction,
"Simultaneously with the bursting
ot the first bomb, hundreds ot green
balls come streaming In swaying
curves from the ground, and pour up
wards psst the wings on both sides.
Uke a handtul of ribbons the search
lights have been thrown up, and fill
the sky with wands of light which
wave a strange pattern all around
tbe machine. Gun fire flashes round
the town, and close' to the machine
now burst the clamorous bsrrage.
"It la an awe-Inspiring din, but
through It. tbe observer has heard
the thud of th bursting bombs be
low. He scrambles back to he pilot
and laughs. Searchlights sweep to
and. fro, fantastic strings ofgre'en
balls bubble upwards, and the flash
of the shells seem to fill the whole
sky. . !
"The machine roars on homewards
through a maelstrom of flame and
tire. The attack has been pressed
home, and on the docks ot Bruges
the ammunition sheds are shattered
and In flames, and water Is pouring
Into the battered sides of the subma
rines. The airmen fly home,; well
content with their consciousness of
duty well done, and leave far ehlnd
the searchlight still vainly scouring
every quarter of the heavens too
late."
