Union, Addresses Open Letter To Coquile
The Coquille Chamber of Commerce
directors at the Tuesday noon session
In the hotel, declared that they wished
to co-operate with the dairymen and
ranchers of the Roy and Fishtrap dis
tricts when they appear before the
county court to ask for the raising of
the lower points in the county road
which are sometimes covered by the
waters of lesser floods. When that hap
pens they are compelled to haul their
milk to the Swift plant here around
through Arago and Myrtle Point when
a little filling in would permit them
to use the road along the foothills,
past the oil wefl, to the highway at
the south end of the dike.
Treasurer R. L. Stewart made a
semi-annual financial report of the
chamber’s condition which showed
that there was $200.25 on hand Jan
