HELD A MASS MEETING

Sites Sentinel: At a meeting held
at Taft republican headquarters Tues
day evening to confer with Mr.. o. G.
Kinny Of Elk City. quite a number of
our citizens were present and Mayor
Joe S. Wilson called the meeting to
order and stated the object and intro
duced Mr.. Kinny, who with Mr.. Schlos-
ser is taking a most lively interest in
the proposition, for as Mr.. Kinny said
in the course of his remarks, it is a
most essential step toward the full and
complete development of this whole
mineral region. Without transporta-
ton those camps are destined to become
nOnproductive as the expense of getting
in supplies, machinery, etc, eats up all
profits and reduces mines that are
working to simply pay basis with no
chance for dividends or profit.
After Mr.. Kinny gave his logical and
convincing talk the meeting resolved
itself into working body by selecting
Mr.. Joe S. Wilson as permanent presi-
dent and Frank M. Roberts as secre-
tary, after which a number present ad-
dressed the meeting, all agreeing that
this is the only possible way to solve
the problem Of cheap transportation for
the mining region.

tions passed by the Spokane Chamber
