T K. CAMPBELL ACQUIRES
COAL MINE AT CHEHALIS
Cottage Grove Man Enters Business
In Washington.
Chchalis, Wash., Sept. 9.— The Su
perior Coal company of this city has
been reorganized, with Thomas K.
Campbell, who is chairman of the pub
lic service commission of the state of
Oregon, nt the head of the company.
The company takes over the Murphy &
Johnson coal mine located just north
of the business center o f Chehalis. The
reorganized company will do develop
ment work at once and arrange for in
creasing the output and widening the
market.
A splendid lignite coal is
mined here. During the past winter or
two J. E. Murphy has been in Portland
mid developed a good market for the
coni from this mine. Thomas R. Camp
bell, son of the president, has been made
local manager, nnd is in charge of the
work here.
Mr. Campbell. Sr., states that new
machinery will be installed and the
force of workmen increased to between
40 nnd 50 men. It is expected to give
the mine an output of about 300 tons
daily. Heretofore the market has been
principally local, with Portland ship
ments. The new company plans to enter
Tacoma and Seattle markets nlso and
will thus be ennhled to work the mine
the year around. A larger hoist and
more extensive bunkers will be in
stalled.
Will Cut Down Expenses.
County Superintendent Moore an
nounces that he will attempt to cut
down the expenses of his office by hav
ing but one rural supervisor this year
unless the people demand a second one.
Mr. O ’ Reilly, who was supervisor for
this district last year, resigned. A suc
cessor appointed nlso resigned nnd Mr.
Moore decided that he might do with
out the necond supervisor entirely.
Mr. Moore says, “ Supervision is nil
right but I have felt thnt the burden
is pretty hard just now. I will do more
visiting myself than I have done, nl-
though the office work in this county
(which hns more rural schools, high
schools nnd more rural teachers than
any other county in Oregon) is very
heavy. “
