f COTTAGE GROVE SENTINEL, THURSDAY, JANUARY 10, 1924 PAGE SIX Neighborhood News Some Cold Faots! Every citizen should read and ponder well the fol lowing excerpts taken from the New Year’s edition of the Portland Journal giving the 1923 tonnage handled in that harbor: “With activity in shipping which has passed all pre vious records the Port oi Portland experienced a pros perous year in 1923 which served to place it with the first ten ports of the United States in the amount of ton nage moved. • • • Portland has become a distributing point for inbound oil cargoes from California. • • * in bound, the largest cargoes by far were crude and re fined oils. * " * Oil receipts for the year from California ports amounted approximately to 1,300,000 tons valued at $30,000,000, about one-third of the total tonnage of the port. ’ ’ Thirty million dollars drained out of our state each year for oill Who pays this stupendous bill? You and I, our neighbors, our business men, etc., for there is no one else to pay it. The largest expense, by far was for oil products, when recent developments now show stronger day by day that we have it stored away in abundance within our own state awaiting development. Is it nothing to you that this terrible drain continues year after year? Why not encourage those who are putting forth heroic efforts to stop this by endeavoring to develop our own natural resources of the same kind and turn this vast wealth into our own channels of in dustry and help furnish employment to our own laborers, instead of paying annual tribute to California’s fore sight and public spirited sagacity. Every car owner should take a definite part in help ing along with this most important enterprise of such gigantic proportions, and develop our own home re sources first. Do you know that we pay double what car owners in California pay for gas? They have oil wells; we don’t, yet. Are you as a citizen encouraging and helping the above movement in a material way, or simply drumming with your fingers saying, “I hope THEY get oil, for it will enhance my property”? Some have even said that if they do strike oil it won’t furnish work to more than a few and would raise our rent fur thermore. Several wells should now be in process of drilling instead of only two. Your good wishes alone and your good intentions not put into effect amount to nothing. Californians are alert to such advantages, as shown by their grip they now hold on us. They have repeatedly told us that the moss would grow on the backs of Orego nians while we were deciding to do something. That may sound sarcastic, but we know that for years it is said they have imported our produce at small cost, reshipped as their own product at higher figures. We can’t deny that California has always led us in many ways. Even the state of Washington, which only a few years back followed us far behind, now leads us in many ways. Our Guaranty Oil investors include citizens from both of these stales. Our old settlers and citizens sat by uncon cerned while others came quietly in and gobbled up our fine timber. Are you going to allow this golden oppor tunity worth $30,6(10,000 annually also to slip away into other hands in the same way? Now is the time to help push this most important undertaking to completion. Procrastination is the thief of time. Let me explain further to you. TOM AWBREY. SILK CREEK. (Special to The Sentinel.)
