CHRONIC IRON ORE.
Production and Value Greatly In
 creased in 1915.


 Chromium is metal which when alloyed with steel gives to it hard ness and toughness that make it useful in the manufacture of auto mobile steels; armor plate; armor- piercing projectiles; the shoes and dies of stamp mills, and tires for rolls used in crushing ores; tool steels; and in other steels to which it is desired to give hardness and toughness. The huge orders placed in this country for war materials have not only resulted in a great demand for chromium steels to be used directly for purposes. of war but have led to the increased manu- fracture of special steels for cut ting shells, rife barrels, and other instruments of war, and are reflect ed in increased metal mining and greater consequent use of chromium steels for crushing machinery.
 Practically the only mineral used as a source of chromium is chronic iron ore, known as chromite. Chrom- ite is largely imported, but importa- ticns have been much interrupted by the war, and as a result the pro- duction of chronic iron in the Unit ed States was last year greatly increased. Unfortunately for the consumers, nearly all of whom are east of the Mississippi, the pro duction in the United States is wholly in California and to reach the greater market it has to be transported across the Rocky Noun tains and Great Plains. At the end of the long haul, under ordinary conditions, it must compete with inn ported ore. However, there has been a sufficient decrease in freight rates to- encourage production, and this with the irregularity of im- ports greatly encouraged the min ing of the California ore in 1915.
 Cccording to J. S. Diller, of the United States Geological Survey. whose report is now in press, the chronic iron ore marketed in 1915 amounted to 3, 2S1 long tons, val

BASEBALL BOYS MEET
 AND ORGANIZE
ELECT THEIR OFFICERS AND FORMULATE PLANS FOR
 COMING SEASON.

At the appointed hour yesterday afternoon, some twenty boys met at the Dream theatre for the pur- pose of organizing the baseball club for the coming season. All enthused over the prospect, it was not long before the meeting pro ceeded to organize. Harvey Stack pole was elected manager and Mr. Spaulding secretary and treausrer. A general committee on arrange ment was appointed constituting of Messrs. King, Kohl, Walker, and Williams.
 The manager stated that there was a balance in the treasury from last year The amount, however. was not known, as the former treas urer was absent.
 It was reported that some thirty young men were coming up for the season, and among them would be many ball players who will gladly accept position on the team. Be tween the aggregation of players. 1t is thought that team can be made up to beat any team in AL aska.
 This year, the local team will have to meet the Metlakatla boys who are said to be good players. For several years, the cannery at that place has been idle, thus the players have had to scatter over Alaska during the baseball season. but this year. the cannery will be in operation, keeping them togeth CT for practice. That team, it is thought may prove a strong com bi>ation to beat.

Topic for week: Faith in Our selves.
 Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added un- to you"
 Jesus also said 'sThe kingdom of God is within you." That is, the reign of God, the opportunity for God to rule our lives, is within us. If we could grasp that as q fact and let ourselves be ruled by God, from within, our lives would be enriched and our, material needs filled. Let Us have faith in God in ourselves.

APPARENTLY IRE NOT
 vITALLY INTERESTED

FL PASO, April IT. Mexicans here apparently are not interested at the strained relation now exist ing between the United States and their country due to the request cf Carranza to withdraw the Ameri- can troops. The only ones who are excited are the Americans.
 At the same time the anti-Ameri- can agitators who have been busy spreading stories of the United States intention of entering upon a war of conquest, hove not over looked the opportunity. Their first effort was to spread the news that hundreds had been slain at Parral in an attack upon the inhabitants by the American troops, and that the "gringoes" had been defeated with great losses. This false re- port was soon explained by Gen. Gavira posting a statement issued by General Obregon that contradict ed every part of the report The people soon accepted the official version and what little excitement had been created quickly subscided.

CARRANzA SOLDIERS
WHIP VILLA BANDS

Ell PASO, March 21.-Twice defeat
ed in one day by Carranza soldiers.
Francisco Villa was reported today as
marching toward the northwest from
Namiquipa.
If he continues along this route he
will come into the jaws of the trap
formed by three columns of American
cavalry Unless Villa, by one of the
dashing manouvers, for which he is
famous, doubles on his trail and es-
capes between the American and Car
rama soldiers who hem him in, it is
expected that he will be making his
last fight soon.
The International News Service
announced Monday that Villa had di-
vided his followers into two bands.
This was officially confirmed later by
the reports received from General Ga
vira. One of the bands was defeated
at Las Cruces Monday morning by the
Carranzistas. The other was whipped
at Namiquipa in the late afternoon.
During the night, according to the
