This action of tho patriotic little community by vaulting over the top with subscriptions to the amount of $1240 to spare, certainly shows up Its big boob brothers, Medford and Ashland, and slow poke sisters, Eagle Point nnd Central Point.

Why if peace were de clared today the hoys at the front and In the camps would have to be fed and cared for for some time yet and then brought home, to say noth ing of the other tremendous war ex "Then, too, a liberty bond Is BUch gilt odged and safe Investment.

DEVELOPMENT OF The following letter from the Unit ed States geological survey just re- Grants Pass, in response to a letter inquiring into the chrome situation Is of much interest to mining men In general: "The government hns not been buying chrome ore nor Is it at the present time contemplating doing so. The production of chrome ore In this country has become large and the market somewhat unstable. The principal consumers report that they have considerable stocks on hand and the demand for chrome ore Is not so strong. However, It Is hoped that the production may be kept up to near what it is at present and that the action by the administration un der the mineral control bill, which is expected to be pnsred by congress soon, may stabilize prices. "The prices of chrome ore vary with the place ami conditions of sale and the geological survey is able to quote only general pVlces, published In the mining journals. The latest Scientific Press, of San Francisco, September 14, fs $1.25 to $1.50 for 38 to 4 8 per -cent ore, f. o. b. on mainline cars. Late news by wire, and letter indicate a slight decline in the price or ore and low grades are not desired. Expensive new projects to open up prospects are not encour aged under present conditions."
