T he possibility of Bandon as a 1 to fix absolutely all railroad rates,

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

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
