HAULING Of CHROME

The hauling Of chrome ore over
the Crescent City road from Waldo
to the terminus OF the c. & o. G.
railroad at Waters Creek Is continu-
ing In small way. but the condition
OF the roads prevent extensive hand
ling of freight. II Is reported that
500 tons OF chrome will he moved
from bunkers near the Logan mine,
and by the time this amount IL NOV
ed II Is believed that certain portions
of the road will he impassable. 1t
has been suggested that the county
could secure the graveling OF the
worst part OF the road, about five
miles from the Illinois bridge to-
ward the Logan mine. at a very low
price by making use OF the trucks
which return empty to the ore bunk
ers In hauling gravel from the Illi-
nols river. It Is probable they could
be hired at a fraction OF the cost II
done on contract.

ARGENTINE SEWERS
BERLIN RELATIONS

Buenos Aires, Feb. 2.--The min
lister of war has recalled Argentina's S
military attaches from Berlin and
Vienna. In political circles this ac-
ton is regarded as significant and
connected with the sinking of the
Argentina steamship Min!s,ro Irrien-
do. on January 26.
The Argentina minister to France
has confirmed the fact that the
steamship was flying the Argentina
flag when sunk. The government hsi
not announced by what authority the
changes of flags was made after
leaving this countryside vessel hav-
ing sailed under the French flag
but reports the sinking as IN ur>
friendly act even though the use OF
the home flag was unused. The as
sumption in political circles here is
that Germany does not intend to
keep her promises in regard to Ar
gentina's shipping.
