OILMEN OBJECT
TO PICKETT BILL
Resolutions Declare Proposed
Conservation Legislation
Would Produce Chaos
ISseeioI Dispatch TO The Call

Special DtSpdtcn 10 ne (dtt
CoALINGA. April 80. At a mass
meeting today the following resolu-
tions were adopted:
Whereas there is now pending
before the congress of the United "
states certain legislation Vitdlly
affecting the interests of not only g
the producer OF OH d 1u{ OF tSnTsSors Sne S9n-
every Industrial enterprise on the
Pacific coast, and
whereas, the proposed legislation
known as the Pickett Pill and pur-
porting to conserve the resources
of the oil lands of California IS
based on erroneous principles or
conservation, and
Whereas, the small operators ana ana
developers of wealth of the national
domain and the affected industries
desire to be heard by congress ana
to present their views prior 10 'Ine
enactment of the proposed leglsIa-
tion, now therefore be it
Resolved, that it is the sense or
this meeting of the citizens OF
Coalinga, in mass meeting as
any law withdrawing public oil
land from public entry, provided .
that such withdrawal is for the
public benefit. and not thereby
ness for the benefit of a few large
interests by permitting them to
continue pumping and removing the
oil. thus exhausting the federal
pools at both the government and
prospective small operators eX-
pense: that we are unalterably
opposed to any law that is retro
active and which does not recognize
the rights of locators OF oil lands
who located prior to September q.
1909, who have complied with the
usual rules and customs of miners
: in protecting their location made
prior thereto: that any other treat
ment OF these men at the hands of
the general government will spell
ruin to many vested rights and
would produce chaos upon hundreds
of operating companies who have
relied upon the good faith and
spirit of fair play by the United
States.
Resolved, that a copy OF this
resolution be forwarded to the
president of the United States, the
senate and house. public lands COM
mittees and to every member OF the
congress and senate OF the United
States and TO the secretary of the
interior at Washington.

The Status of Irrigation.

Matters connected with irrigation
are being thrashed out by the Jose
mime Irrigation and Power Co., with
the hope of being able to make sat
isfactory deal with one or the other
of the companies which have signi-
fled their willingness to put in the
capital necessary to build the bitches
and furnish the water supply for irri-
cation, but there are so many chances
of reaching a disagreement with one
or the other that it is hard to deter
mine Just how things will go.
The officers of the local company
have determined to protect the rights
of their stockholders and will be un-
willing to Recommend any PROPOSE
tion that falls short of doing this.
1t will be noticed that in the let
ter Of Attorney General Crawford to
the Mail Tribune of Medford, re-
published on the first page OF this
issue of the Courier, that he claims,
or rather assumes that the Irrigation
company and its stockholders have
accepted the proposition of the Rogue
River Irrigation and Power Co. This
could hardly be true, as the details
have not been fully gone into with
either that company or the parties
representing the Squaw Lake prop
Osition. Whichever company may
be fortunate enough to be recognized
by the local organization, tho"o VIII
of necessity be a contract entirely
satisfactory to the directors and the
stockholders Of that organization. So
far the matter is going along in the
right direction and it is to be hoped
that no stumbling block will be en-
countered.

SOUTH PACIFIC HOSPITAL
DOING GOOD WORK

The South Pacific hospital of this
city has been keeping pace with the
city institutions the past few weeks
and several people of Grants Pass
have had good cause to be thankful
as well as proud, that we have such
satisfactory institution and ex.
pert physicians of which our city can
boast. DR.. Loughridge has had sew
eral important cases in the hospital
recently, aside from his other prac.
tice,
About two weeks ago a man by the
name of Ferren was accidentally shot
in the head by stray bullet from the
gun of some hunter in the woods near
his home at Bridge creek, and al.
though the bullet was removed al
that time the gentleman did not i'm
porve as rapidly as he should have
done and paralysis was slowly
creeping over him. He was taken
to the South Pacific hospital and Dr.
Loughridge made an examination,
finding that the bullet had crushed
a part of the skull in such manner
that the bone was sunk into the
brain, which was causing the para
lysis, while pus had formed in the
wound The bone, which was about
one inch square, was removed and
the wound thoroughly cleansed, and
now the gentleman is able to be
about the hospital and Is recovering
rapidly. n
Another very delicate operation on
the skull was performed by the doc
tor on L. McGown, who was troubled
with inter-cranial pressure. Mr.
MoGown is a resident Of Central
Point and was brought to the hospi'
tai In this city a short time ago
suffering from the above-named dis
ease, A piece of skull, two inches
long and about three-quarters of an
inch wide, was removed and Mr. Nc
Gown Is getting along nicely and will
soon be able to return to his home
at Central Point.
Grover Darneille was brought 10
this city Monday evening from jack
sonylle, suffering with appendicitis
and he will probably be operated on
for this trouble on next Monday
