Some one may yet take up a home stead on that boundary line.— T he Coquile Valley Sentinel says the Coos Bay & Inland Electric line is going to be built. Good! Push the good thing along, it will be a big thing for Coos county. The road is projected from Coos Bay, by way of Coquille and Myrtle Point, to Roseburg. We are also informed that the promoters can probably be induced to extend a line to Bandon, provided the right of way from here to Coquille were given. This is a matter that ought to be easily complied with as most everyone along the line would be glad to give the right of way. This is something for our Commercial Club and business men to take up . Let’s get busy and see what can be done in this connection. T here is no more striking cxamole on the Pacific Coast of the ruthless destruction of timber than that which follows the gathering of oak tanbark In the counties of Humboldt and Mendocino in Cali fornia the industry of securing oak tanbark has attained considerable proportions Oak trees 18 inches to 3 1-2 feet in diameter, up to 40 feet to the limbs, are not uncom mon. To secure this bark the trees are felled and the bark stripped. The timber is left untouched on the ground to rot. Until railroad trans portation can be furnished, this waste will probably continue. The bark in many instances, is secured from in dividual claims taken by the home steaders, the timber growth being practically all oak, which is sacri ficed in order to eke out a pre carious livelihood. From 400 to 600 cords of bark can be obtained from a claim. Thousands of feet of good oak timber are sacri THE COQUILLE RIVER LINE Humo* and Philosophy • • Sirs, In field & Bandon THEORY AND PRACTICE Twin Screw, New •nd Faat X don’t care for money I N It theory 1 can have a small supply 1st Class Passage, Up Freight.
