The Reporter in a recent issue re printed an item from the American of Myrtle Point to the effect that the Macleay Estate company of Wedder- burn was buying myrtle logs in that locality, for which it was paying 5 cents per pound, and then shipping them east. On closer investigation this newspaper find that only 1 cent a pound delivered at' the railroad is being paid, and then it is for burly trees or pieces of burly for which there seems to be a fair demand in the east. For a quarter of a century past many persons or concerns have en- leavored to market myrtle logs, but finally ceased operations because they were unable to make a profit.
