ESTABLISH NEW
COUNTY ROAD
Franchise for Logging Road
Also Granted on South
Inlet.
Upon tho petition of the C003 Bay
Coal and Lumber Company tho coun
ty court last week confirmed tho re
port of the road viewers and de
clared tho road located by them

derson, on South Inlet, a county road.
Tho county court denied tho peti
tioner's prayer for a franchise for a
logging railroad upon such road for a

TO GIVE LAND
THE FRUIT
ACTIVE
Coquille Organizes a Branch
Association Myrtle Point
Growers Meet.
M. G. Pohl, the new Coos County
Fruit Inspector, Is In Marshfield to
day on business connected with his
new duties. Mr. Pohl will visit the
various orchards on tho Coos river
and on the various inlets on this trip.
In conversation with a Times re
porter Mr. Pohl said that ho did not
find the fruit trees in tho vicinity of
Coos Bay in as good condition as he
expected. Very few of tho fruit grow
ers havo given their trees the atten
tion really required. Mr. Pohl right
ly says that this should be a matter
of local prido with tho people, and
that simply as a demonstration of
what may be done In tho way of fruit
raising, tho people in this section
should seo that oven if they have only
a few trees that they bo properly
kept.
Mr. Pohl is very much In earnest
In his work, and says if people will
not act on his first notice he will then
give a second notice, and if action is
not taken then he will proceed under
tho state law and have the trees prop
erly treated by labor that ho will em-
ploy or the trees cut down and tho'
expense assessed against the Prop -
erty. He expresses the hope that It
may not be necessary to resort to
theso extreme measures.
Air. Pnlil Htntr tlmf nf Pnniiilm
. ... ,
ono man provided himself with a
sprayer and did tho work for the en
tire section, making a charge for his
work, and ho thinks there is tho same
opportunity for some man In this sec
tion. Mr. Pohl is enthusiastic about the
possibilities of commercial orchards
In this section, of which ho says ho
has not seen one. Very few of tho
fruit growers have realized anything
from their trees, and none of them
tho full possibilities of tho business.
Mr. Pohl says that every tree should
be good for at least $10 per season,
but If that sum were divided In two,
with 80 trees to tho aero It would
bring in the handsome sum of $400
per aero. He contrasts this with tho
hard work of dairying much to tho
advantage of the fruit grower.
Coquille Fruit Growers Organize.
A local branch of tho Coos County
Fruit Growers' Association was or
ganized in Coquille last Saturday,
February 29. E. A. Howey was
chosen as chairman of tho meeting
and Walter Caldwell, secretary. M.
G. Pohl, 'fruit inspector, was present
and gave an interesting talk on the
subject of fruit growing. Tho prime
object of the association is to see
that a fine artlclo of fruit Is grown,
and then that tho producer gets a fair
and rensonblo price for it, nnd to do
this it is the purpose of tho assocla
ti6n to form a stock company. A mo
tion was made and carried that tho
association bo known as tho "Co
qulllo Fruit Growers' Association,
with headquarters at Coquille. It
was decided to meet Saturday, March
14, at 10:30, for the purposo of per
fecting tho organization, when it Is
hoped thnt thero will bo a largo at
tendance of tho fruit growers and
thoy will make it a success.

Send forth their words of might.

Bringing at last some trophy
Worthy tho whole world's cheers.

Not from the din of strife,

TREES.
"Woodmen, spare that tree!"
We sang It long ago;
But Just the same tho woodman came
And laid tho giants low.
Wo turned them Into tables,
We chopped thom Into pegs
And things unique In styles antique,
With queer, unsteady legs.
We swept them from tho hillside
And from tho mountain stream.
And lest the ax our arms might tax,
Wo sawed them up by steam;
And oven art got busy
With geometric marks;
To ease the nerves that shrank from
curves,
They cleared them from tho parks.
Across tho sterile plaza
The winter winds blow free;
On summer days the sun's hot rays
Beat fierce as fierce can be;
"Ah, spare that tree" the echo
Falls on tho desert air.
But such is fate; 'tis all too late,
Thero aro no trees to spare.
