Promoter Secures Coos Bay
Options for Vast Development

Marshfeld - w. J. Wilsey, who Of
fered Coos Bay what he said was slO.-
600, 600 worth of industries IN ex-
change for good viii and encourage
menf, left Coos Bay on Thursday. after
having been welcomed all over the
Coos Bay district and treated cordially
In offerings Of property he desired to
accumulate. North Bend held . rous-
ing meeting one night and leading citi-
zens spoke welcome that could not be
migconstrued.
Mr.. WiIsey's promises were 80 ex-
tensive that some thought them over
couple Of days before committing
themselves to belief in his ability to
carry them through, but before he left
everybody seemed to be convinced.
People had boosted ever since Coos
Bay was rivulet, but nothing sub
stantiaI excepting sawmiIls were es-
tablished. It was asserted at the
North Bend meeting that miles Of
water front, areas Of land for. indus
tries, timbered lands on the peninsula,
watersheds. were being held by per-
sons who never had any intention Of
utilizing them. These, the boosters
said, they would engage to secure at
reasonable figures, and expect them 70
be converted into active commercial
properties.
Mr.. WiIsey, when he left, had OPP
tions on all the Simpson Lumber COM
pany holdings. on the Z. D. Kinney
properties, on large share Of the
Flanagan estate holdings on the penin-
stila. and on 5000 acres Of coal land.
Probably so to rs per cent of the prop
erty asked for was under option when
Mr.. WiIsey departed for New York.

ice as an indirect protest against the

Mr.. Ames explained that the timber

sWe find" said Mr.. Ames. that

readily after burning. We anticipate
from experience that we have had in
other similar locations that reseeding
win be ample and that within a short
time the acreage win not only be COW

rainfall as well as the forest trees that
win be taken OF. BY the time the

Mr. Ames further showed that the
area embodied in the proposed sale
does not extend to the source OF the
west fork Of Hood River. which in
fact il fed BY glaciers and would be
affected in no way by cutting Of the
timber.

Marsh6eld, Or. -- Although the fish
ing season on Rogue River is two
months from its height, more fish have
been caught, canned and shipped from
there this season than for any other
time covering the same period in re-
cent years. The Macleay estate has
shipped from its Wedderburn eannery
1000 cases Of the fine Rogue River chi
nook and has 1000 more cases packed.
The unusually large output is accounted
for by the intense rivalry among the
fighermen who are taking dangerous
chances in handling their drift nets.
