"Evldonco of prosperity ran bo scon everywhere at Coos Hay," says Engineer I'olhoinus. "Heavy ship ments of lumber are being made from tho mills there.

On the vervl edge of n little prairie which extend along the backbone of the mountains, midway between what Is known ns "Dry Lnko" and "Wako-up-Rcllcy," Is a narrow belt of timber, and In the shade of those tall pines Is locat ed our camp u camp composed of eight persons, each one of whom suc ceeds in making tho other follow .feel glad that ho came. Wo nro about seven miles by tho trail from the boat landing on Itngtto river, and In Hint seven miles wo gnln an elevation of 1,500 feet. This means putting one foot right above the other almost every stop of the way. In many places along the trail It Is not only dilllcult, but dangerous to tuko a pack horse.
