company, whi<$ had been playing to
hard lock in having to shut down its
plant on account of exceptionally
high tides flooding its plant, whose
Coquille line has bean put out of com­
mission time after time by trees and
limbs beta* blown onto its wires
during heavy storms, and which has
also been put to a tremendously in­
creased expense in purchasing oil for
fuel by the shutting down of the
Smith mill which furnished its power.
Nof does this complete the list. Wed­
nesday of this week, two of its 600
horsepower boilers were rendered use­
less for the time being by the crumb­
ling away of the brick foundation on
which they stood. This was proba­
bly due to the softening of the ground
beneath them when the plant was
flooded in December. This accident
did net, as might have been expected,
render it impossible for the plant to
serve its customers over at the Bay
and in the CoquiUe Valley with either
light or power, but did render it
necessary to shut off the supply of
juice from all industrial motors of
more than a single horse power and
also from the street lighting system
for a couple of days.
This crippled twenty-five plants in
the Coquille valley, two-thirds being

Mrs. A. J. Sherwood went ever to
