GIN BLACK EYE !
Chrome mining has received a set
back if not a knockout blow from
the refusal of the war Industries
board to fix a price. With a lower
market threatened for the next year.
there are no buyers of chrome. All:
of the chrome mines, developed at I
earnest solicitation of the govern
ment, are closing down, except those
under contract for stated quantity,
among which is the Reddy mine n
the Slsklyous.
Regarding the chrome situation.
II. M. Parks, state director of the
bureau of mines, is quoted as fol
lows: It is evident from the authorities
at Washington that the United States
Is facing a surplus of chrome. This
has come about seemingly from one
of two reasons either the govern
ment was misinformed as to the true
status of the chrome situation In the
I'nited States and went too enthusi
astically after the Interests to stimu
late production which was not as ur
gent as represented, or the big steel
interests are pulling the wool over
the eyes of the government in order
to obtain a cheaper ore.
"The situation among the Oregon
and coast chrome producers is just
where it was before any negotiations
were undertaken. The interests lo
cally Tegard the statement that the
price has been adjusted when there
is no apparent fixed price at all, as
merely a camouflaged statement on
the part of certain interests designed
to promote domestic tranquility.
What the producers want is a defin
ite statement as to what the price
will be, as the industry is on the
verge of collapse and the misinform
ed capitalists who have put thous
ands of dollars into the chrome
plants will not risk adding any more
money in their industry with no
more assurance for the future than
they have now."
IJOME. Oct. !.". Count Luca Cor
test. nn adventurer, together with his
accomplices, was recently sentenced
to nine years' imprisonment and

JEWELRY
THE GIFT OF LOVE
In the Jewelry Store for this War
time Christmas.
Xot for show, not for vanity, will
Jewelry be given this Christmas.
Each gift of jewelry will be more
truly than ever this year a gift of
love. There is nothing In the world
that a woman cherishes as much as a
fine Jewel. There' Is nothing that
she wears so constantly day by day,
year by year. Xor is there anything
so easy convertible Into money, if
needed.
The gift of a diamond today Is an
investment which constantly ad
vances in value. The gift of gold and
silver seems to be the only one fitting
to represent the love which is welling
up in every heart at the thought of
coming separations, of the days when
a sea will stretch between, of the
days 'when people on this side and
people on that side will be strivina
for right. ' '
The man who expects to lie ordered
to Prance any day wishes to give his
wife or fiancee an unforgettable
symbol, if that were needed, a sym
bol intensely personal, perhaps a
ring, which will always he yrn,
which will become a very part of the
recipient.
( The son off for the front thinks of
.his mother; he wants her to have a
tnlrnn from hint' enm.lhlncr nf tvhlnh
flij'o be proud; perhaps a diamond
"''brooch or bar pin.
