Monday is always a slow day in a
drive and this noon the Medford dis
trict Total stood just as it was on
Saturday night, $215,000, and with
$S3,1.18 to go to reach the top. The
I local committee is going to make a
determined effort to raise the full
quota by next Saturday night and
has planned a week of strenuous ef
fort. "Wg've said about all that can
be said why the people who have not
yet done their full duty In the liberty
bond campaign should subscribe,"
said Chairman Kldd today, "and the
only thing loft for us to do is to go
after them with a club.

Many Aro Slackers
Tho committee is wondering ir a
lot of known pntrlotlc and hustling
men of Medford havo forgotten all
about there being a liberty bond
campaign on. This morning it was
tho same old story, only n few solici
tors on bund to carry on the day's
work with a few moro promised for
tho afternoon. "We ure almost pow
erless to do anything without suffic
ient aides," Bays Chairman Kldd.
"Wo nro very grateful and apprecia
tive of the servlcos many solicitors
havo already rendered, but the work
must be kopt up and wo still need
not only their help hut that of many
others, if only a sufficient number
of hustlers come forward the district
will quickly go over the top where
wo bolonged long ago."
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."
