NOT FEASIBLE Temporary Wharf at Old Coos ton Landing Is Illo gical. IMItor Times: The atntemunt thnt, "We have liv ed horo for to ninny yonrs without a wharf, nnd can live hero so many more years without any" In an orro- of the vlow which the farmers of Wlllanche have Truo wo linvo lived hero for so many years or more with poor landing nnd wharf ncoom- conimunlty, herewith pet forth the reasons why tho channel and wharf should not bo established In Sother street: 1. The statement that tho peo ple have shipped their produce from the old county landing for tho pnst twenty years, Is misleading. In part yes, nlmost nil the scowlng nnd ship ping has been through the Inlet. This was especially true In winter, ns the unfavorable weather conditions mnilo shipping on the outside unsafe. Old settlors will recall tho efforts made to mnlntnlu boat houses at the (Mil county landing, and that as often they wero wrecked and smashed by the sovere southwest storms which strike so honvy at that place. True, soveral of tho ranchers have their po tato houses nt tho old county lnirl lng, but they are alrondy contemplat ing moving their potato houses Into the mouth of Wlllanche Inlet, whore Jlllrlnl Paper of Coos County.
