, know that Coos county was created by
' an act of the territorial legislature of
i »Oregon on December 22, 1858, and
was formed from Umpqua and Jack-

which coal has been sueeeaafuHy min

was the spirit that inspired the crea

that have made It what it is.
The name o f Coos was given it by
the legislative set creating it, and is
not derived from aboriginal sources
