'THE BUSY STORE" !. , -i : i ii. SPOT HERE C. N. Sherman Tells Chamber of Commerce Audience Why It Is Essential. TO DEVELOP COOS BAY. Fred. JiOckloy Condemns Largo Land Holders Retention of Colonel Roessler Urged. "If there- is oil In this section of country, It Is a mistake for those who think they know where it is locatod, to keep their knowledge concealed. To try to keep it a secret with the purpose of getting control of large acreage of land, Is the samo spirit shown hy land harons of whoso immense- holdings complaint is heard." These sentiments were voiced hy C. N. Sherman, an oil expert, In an address at tho last meeting of the Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Sherman wont on to say that if there Is oil, It takes capital to develop It, and the wlso thing for a community to do is when oil Is known to exist, let tho oil moil of tho country know about it and try and Induce- them to come In and help develop tho field or llelds. Mr. Sherman goes on tho theory that If there Is oil beneath the surface, there- is oil enough for everybody. No has operated In the oil llelds of Texas, California, In dlann, and of late has been in the oil Holds of Illinois. Mo arrived on Coos Hay only recently. Ho is ac companied by his wlfo and child and has taken rooms In tho city and will liut his young son In school while Investigating tho oil situation In tho Coos Day country. Interest on the part of tho people in tho oil prospects of this vicinity was shown by tho many questions put to Mr. Shermau and ho in turn showed keen Interest In gottlng all tho Information to be had from those- familiar with condi tions on the Day. Ho had oxamlned tho government geologic utliiB and found tho formation favorable In tho Coos Bay country. Oregon Laud Manias. Fred. Lockloy talked on largo land-holdings In Oregon. Ho once lived In Pendleton, tho county soat of Umatilla county, l'endleton has tho distinction of being tho only town in Oregon whoso citizens could not bo aroused to their opportunities by Tom Richardson. Tho conditions In Pendleton and Umatilla county nro duo to tho largo land-holdors, Mr. Lockloy explained. The farmers uro too rich. With tho sale of ono crop of wheat a farmor would buy out his neighbor until tho lino wheat land has passed Into tho hands of a few mon. Farmers in Umatilla hold tracts of 1,000, 2,000 and 2.500 acres. It has tho offect of depopulat ing tho country. An instanco was mentioned of a school district being abolished because there were no chil dren to attend school. In the days of small holdings there were 42 chil dren in the district. Tho number dwindled to five under large hold ings. Mr. Lockley touched a live wire In referring to the large land holdings in Coos county. "What are the large-holders doing to help devel op your country?" the speaker ask ed, and every resident of Coos and Curry county alive to the situation has asked the same question. Indorse Colonel Roessler. The Chamber of Commerce went on record in favor of tho retention of Colonel S. W. Roessler as engin eer in chargo of this district by tho adoption of the following resolution: "Whereas, it is reported that Col onel S. W. Roessler is to be removed from this district to assume duties in other parts, and whereas, tho work of Mr. Roessler has been dill gent, conscientious and satisfactory to tho people of this port and to tho people of all ports and rivers in the district so far as we are Informed, and, whereas Colonel Roessler Is ac quainted with the conditions and needs of this district and It does not appear that a change at this time would bo of any advantage to the work now in hand or contemplation, therefore, bo It resolved, that if prop erly within its privilege, the Marsh fiold Chamber of Commerce respect fully petitions tho chairman of the Committee of Engineers of the War Department at Washington, D. C, for tho retention of Colonel S. W. Roessler, as engineer In chargo of this district." Roads mid IJoulevnrds. A communication from Mayor L. J. Simpson of North Rend, was read asking for cooperation in changing tho road and establishing a driveway boulovard overlooking tho ocean from South Inlet to Empire. Tho Chamber favored the project as a movo in tho right direction toward securing better roads and driveways and I. S. Kaufman and Walter Lyon were appointed a committee to co operate with Mr. Simpson nlong the lines suggested in his communication. Tho clean-up day movement al ready inaugurated was discussed and indorsed, giving tho ladles of tho Art and Needle Workers Club assurance that they would have the undivided support of tho Chamber of Com merce Protect the Timber. A communication was read from Edmund Sheldon, asking the Marsh fluid Chamber of Coinmerco to tnko up tho matter of appointing fire wardens as a precaution against for est fires that have dono so tutic'i damago to tho timber Interests of Oregon in tho past. Under tho law, the forestry commission will appoint wardens upon tho recommendation of counties or Interested parties. Tho wardens serve without pay so far as tho commission is concerned, but tho county court or parties Interested may pay, Tho law was framed for such counties as Coos and Curry counties whero tho timber Interests uro so great and valuable Tho parties mostly concerned in this county aro tho largo land-holders, and tho secretary was directed to take tho matter up with tho mill men. A ineotlng In the Interest of FINNISH WILL I Large Number Will Leave Coos Bay Next Week For Visit in Their Native Land.
