ning at eight o’clock, Miss Frances R.
Eggleston, daughter of Mrs. Stanley
R. Oldland, became the bride of Ray

‘Her sister. Miss Bernice Eggleston,

August 1' for Medford where she ha/ a
position promised.
The greater part of the short ses
sion was spent in discussing Coquille’s
need for a close-in auto camp. The
matter was brought up by Frank W
Martin with the suggestion that a
municipal auto camp might be built
with funds borrowed from the R. F.
C_ at the edgs of Myrtle Grove park.
That it would be possible to secure
fund« from that source was denied by
those in a position to know, but that
a camp grounds is needed in Coquille
was agreed to by all. Not one per
cent of the tourist travel up and
down the Coast highway stop« here.
This is not because we do not have
one of the finest hotels on the coast in
Coquille, but it is because of the lack
of adequate camp facilities, for a
very large portion of the tourist
travel today is seeking auto camp ac
commodation.

grounds, near the center of Coquille,
cannot be too strongly emphasized.
That it should be municipally owned
and operated is doubtful.
It would
much better be privately owned, even
if the city leased a portion of the
park for camp purposes.
With the completion of bridges to
replace ferries on the Coast highway
in the near future, and the return of
normal condition«, there will be sev
eral times aa much tourist travel as
there la this year through Coquille,
and it is time this city was preparing
to share in the benefits which accrue
to those communities which extend
hospitality to the travelling public.
