The chamber went strongly on rec ord as asking ?ongress to provide ample funds for forest protection this year and Commissioner Lawhorn, who is to attend a meeting in Portland of the Counties Association this week end, will take the chamber’s recom mendation which with other resolu tions will be forwarded to the Oregon congressional delegation. Mr. Coe outlined What ip being done to provide the coal needed for the two Oregon cantonments this coming winter. Representatives meeting at Marsh field last week said the army would need about 70,000 tons of coal at each cantonment, that the purpose was to contract for it in the Northwest, and if assurances could be given that the coal could be produced there was no reason why the entire amopnt could not be contracted with a Coos miners’ organization. Walter Chiene stated that the larg est coal output of Coos county in the past was 101,000 tons. Mr. Coe reported that W. D. Nixon of the state’s geological department is intensely interested in the coal development in Coos county and is doing everything in his power to ad vance that development. At a meeting in Marshfield Monday, the mine operators had agreed, pro vided the government furnished equipment, payment for which could be amortized over a period of year« at *1.00 a ton, to get out all the coal needed by the army, and F. O. Scher er, of the Unemployment service at the Bay, said the miners could be secured to mine the coal. Possibly *80,000 worth of equipment will be needed. It will be necessary to set up a non-profit ‘co-operative organization of all the mine operators to make and handle the army contracts, and «et as sales agent. Mr. Coe pointed out the need, after the war, of industrial plants, such a* Uie cement plant at Gold Ihll, the state tor continued coal “* ** institutions, — production, and declared this coal development would not be for the war period only. Five hundred tons a day was the mine operators* opinion as to what could be produced with the proper equipment • Mr Nixon expressed the belief when in the county Monday, that Coos county’s greatest resource is its coal, and said he would ask Gov. Sprague to order a survey of the coal fields In this county. The chamber went on record as approving Mr. Hull's plan to oper ate a stage line between Myrtle Point and Powers, should the Greyhound Lines application to abandon that run be approved by the public util ities commission.
