5610 INQUIRIES
ABOUT
The Medford chamber of commerce
has been keeping a record of the
actual Inquiries of a serious nature
that have come to hand during the
past four years. These total to date
0610.
It is IntereHtinff to noto that Cali
fornia furnishes the largest number of
inquiries from any one state, about 20
per cent of the toUil.
The other states In the order of
volume of commuiilcatlunH is OreRon,
Washington, Illinois. New York, Oan
nda, Montana, Texas, Ohio, Idaho,
Colorado, Pennsylvania, Michigan,
Kunsus, MiHHOUrl, Mussarhusettn. Oth
ers In the list have less than 100 In
quiries each for the four year period.
It is significant that the three Pa
cific coast states lead and that Cali
fornia Is very much ahead of any
others. It may be that this Is becuuse
of the flow of unHettled tourists al
ways moving along the highways of
the 1'acifio coast seeking a pluce of
permanent abode.
As to the general Interest manifest
In Medford over the four year period
1920 and 1921 ran about equal. l2'i
was about 20 per cent better. 111113
fell a way off for some reason. It Is
apparent, says Secretary Frohbach,
thtU udvortising must be done to at
tract attention. Med ford's poor show
ing for last year may bo duo to tho
fact that greater publicity due to rail
road construction has come to other
cities In the same general territory.
Tho advertising fund that Portland
has raised will be spont for many
activities, but the first one that has
been given publicity is the Los An
geles bureau. It has boen recognized
for a long tlmo by those who have
studied the situation that southern
California is a fertile field to roach a
large part of the American public who
are on the move and who may be re
garded as excellent investment and
Hettlement prospects.

GOVT. HIGHER UPS
WASHINGTON, Feb. 14. J. Leo
Stack, a Denver oil man, testified to
day before the senate committee that
the Pioneer Oil company officials had
told him confidentially a week before
Teapot Dome was leased that Harry
F. Sinclair was to get the lease.
When the oil comrnlttee resumed Hs
hearings today, Stack, who testified
yesterday, was cross-examined by
Chairman Lenroot. Stack emphasized
the danger of drainage of Teapot
Dome by wells which would be opened
on the land surrounding the naval re
serve under the action which the in
terior department had taken In 1920
when the rights to operate on such
land had been sold at public action.
"In 1020 It was common talk among
the oil men that the reserve was be
ing drained," he said.
He declared that he -had never
thought of seeking to obtain a lease
to the entire reserve but was only
trying to arrange for the privilege of
driving offset wells to prevent drain
age of the entire reserve. His ad
vances to obtain an arrangement had
been rejected In 1017 by Admiral
Griffin and Commanders Stewart,
Wright and Shafroth.
Taking issue with George Creel, who
testified yesterday, Stack said the
former chairman of the committee on
public Information did know that E.
L. Doheny was associated with him In
the efforts to get a lease to drill offset
wells In Teapot Dome.
"I may not have told him the
money I paid him came from Do
heny," said Stack, "but he knew I had
none and that Mr. Doheny was back
ing me." '
Stack said the $5000 he paid Creel
was thq amount named by tho latter
as the "grubstake" ho would need.
Creel was employed, he said, because
he knew the officials In Washington
and was to represent the syndicate In
tho natlonul capital.
