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
