PRESIDENT SAID TO HAVE SIGN
ED AN ORDER GIVING PRO
lection TO PRODUCERS
MINERS WELL REPRESENTED
Grants Pass, Through +. s. Bramwell
Is First City to Take Steps TO
Help Miners

In regard to the chrome ore situ-
alton. F. s. Bramwell states that a
concerted movement is being made
by the Chrome Producers Associa-
tion here and In California. It Is
said that President Wilson has
signed an order giving protection to
the chrome miners who have spent
large sums of money and who have
already developed mining properties,
but that no encouragement Is offer
ed for further prospects.
It appears that conducting this
promised protection has been placed
in the hands OF Secretary Lane, and
It is expected that some one from
the chrome districts may be appoint
ed to look after the matter at this
end OF the line. However, Mr.
Bramwell says that while such an
order has been signed by the presi.
dent, they are meeting with some
stubborn opposition, but he seems tC
think the matter may be so adjusted
as to fix a price on chrome so that
those wanting to operate their mines
here and elsewhere may be advised
and know just what the chrome viii
bring, and in this way know wheth
er or not they can operate at pro
fit.
Mr.. Bramwell says the man sem
by the combined interests OF chrome
in this section is now in Washington
working like a demon. Mr.. Gazzan
leaves for Washington tonight t.
help Mr.. DeKalb, so that it is saf'
to guess that the whole question will
be settled soon.
II is to be hoped and is almost an
ticipated that some gentleman from
here Will be appointed to administer
and adjust conditions as they ma!
develop. Our senators and congress
men are being urged to this end.

NEW YORK AND OTHER VERSES. BY Fred

Lieutenant Clapp is gallant avi-
etor and a true poet in his vision of
the word. in his use Of free verse"
he is less extravaeant and more truly
poetical than most others who have
employed that medium Of expression,
and we are convinced of the sincerity
OF his purpose as well as of the beauty
of his conceptions. Yet even at his
best we cannot help wondering why it
seems desirable to chop mis- writings
into lines Of irregular length 1t Ger
tainly does not enhance but rather i'm
pairs the clarity of thought and is not
conducive to fluent or interpretative e
reading. Frankly. we think il would
be better to use the form of ordinary
prose. Thus:
Patchwork of snowy roofs and
sombre walls; a golden dome; an
amber tower; traccry of drifting ice
in the drab grey river; wavering
whirlpool of swooping gulls
That is every whit as poetcal printed
thus as it is when divided into five
lines OF Irregular length Our "free
poets" might do we'll to study Tour
genieff, and Rus,lin. and Motley, who
wrote IA prose some of the finest poetry
in the world.
