If we had access to railroads and to the public. Com the outside world, so that people petition among railroads makes low could get in from the interior in rates at competitive points too low two or three hours, instead of that perhaps—and they are obliged to many days the people would be recoup by excessive charges at non This is most coming in by by the thousands and competitive points. unjust and the people have a right even ten thousands. to complain. T here seems to be considerable activity in oil circles of Coos and Cutry counties of late and the fact is well known thAt eastern people have their eye on this section as a future possibility for rich oil fields. There is every indication that oil in abun dant quantities can be found here, at least this is the the decree of ex perts on the oil situation, and from the present indications it looks as though they had something in view for the future. With a rich lumbering industry, our dairy, fruit, and other industries added to rich oil fields, there is no possible means of estimating the future develop ment of soutwestern Oregon. T here promises to be a big re vival of the shipping industry by way of Cape Horn. The Philadelphia Public Ledger announces that a fleet of sailing vessels is to be as sembled under the name of the Shippers’ Clipper Line, which will carry general cargoes from New to York and Philadelphia San Francisco. All of the ships will be over 5000 tons burden, built of steel, square-rigged, and furnished with steam devices for handling cargoes. They are ex pected to make the voyage in from 106 to 180 days. It does notap pear whether the promoters of the new line intend to maintain the Cape Horn route after the completion of the Panama canal; towage charges may govern their future policy— Oregonian. To obtain the greatest results in protection against tire, with the minimum of expense, the federal forestry service has decided to es tablish on the most advantageous points of the national forests in the west a series of lookout stations from which news of the beginning o* for eats tires can be telephoned to all forest officers. As all of these sta tions will command a view of the country for many miles, the work of detecting and extinguishing tires in their incipiency will be greatly facili tated, so that hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of timber can be saved annually by this innovation Fire loses in the national forests are kept at a point where they are trivial when compared with the dam age which would be caused were the lands contained in unprotected areas. U nderhanded and unfair com petition, with secret rates to favor ed shippers or favored localities, and continued dissension and unrest among railroads is the net result of the federal government's efforts at regulation, according to A. B. Stickney, president ot the Chicago A Great Western Railroad, who baa been viewing the-Alaska Yu kon-Pacific Exposition. He says, “Not until all railroads are con solidated, or the government • proceeds to do directly what it now attempts to do indirectly, viz.': S till the work of surveying the Bandon-Port Orford railroad goes merrily on and everybody in these parts are wonderfully en thusiastic over the proposition, it will be the best thing for this section of Coos and Curry counties that has come in a long time and people all along the line are showing a dis position to assist in whatever way they can. In fact it will be the dawning of a new era for this part of southwestern Oregon and the re sult thereof cannot be estimated at this time. The promoters of the business are all men ot high standing in the community and they will re ceive the encouragement of every man and and woman who is interest ed in the development of the country.
