The bronxe plate, imbedded in a concrete block, marks the spot where the original Indian trail crossed the divide between the water of Cooa Bay and of the Coquille Valley. Specially it marks the high land between the headwaters of Isthmus Inlet and of Beaver Slough. After the pasaing of the Indian, or before, the early settlors mbd the same trail. It is approximately half way between Coquille and Marshfield, and on the preMnt route of the Roose velt Coast highway. There was a large crowd in at tendance at the ceremonies, C. B. Gates, state highway commissioner, being one of the speakers. Mrs. Wm. , of Portland, state regent of the Daughters of the Revolution, was also present. In the early days freighting was carried on by boats to the head of either slough, thence over the short divide by pack animals. In a -spot not far from the marker’s location, Utter City, once the largest settlement in the county, grew up, surrounded by coal mining activities and being a central trading place for all districts along the coast north of Port Orford. There is not a landmark left of this one-time metropolis of the county. In a few years freighting over this trail increased heavily and packers made big wages. The situation of fered big business an opportunity, and a wooden railroad was construct ed over the divide and the promoters did a thriving business for some time, but other settlements and water borne freight to Coos Bay and to the Coquille river afterwards put the im provised railroad out of commission. The Coos Bay, Roseburg A Eastern Railroad and Navigation Co. line, now part of the Southern Pacific, was built later between Marshfield and Coquille. COQUILLE C. of C.
