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.
However, the Macleay Estate com
pany is endeavoring at Myrtle Point,
in Coos county, to develop some of
this business, but so far the results
are inconclusive.—Gold Beach Report
