Mr. and Mrs. George Hall and
family and tbeir eastern guests re­
turned home Wednesday evening
from a week’s vacation at Win­
chester Bav and report a most en­
joyable time. Their guests, in­
cluding Mr. Hall's brother and
Mrs. H all’s brother and their fami­
lies, returned to their eastern
homes today. Mr. Geo. Hall in­
forms the header that a great deal
of permanent work is in evidence
along the line of the new Drain
Coos Bay railroad on which work
has been temporarily suspended.
Mr. Hall says Douglas county has
purchased several thousand of the
railroad ties which were piled up
along the railroad bed and will use
ihem on the eouirty road between
Drain ami Elkton instead of jxrles
I for corduroy. This should make
a fine winter road— far better than
poles or even planking. Mr. Hall
is again at his desk in tli- Bank of
Cottage Grove of which he is cash
