We take the following letter from
Coos County Granges.
The charter list of Coos Bay
Orange at Marshfield was closed
last Saturday by State Deputy
Cyrus H. Walker with ¡14 members.
It is the intention of the officers to
increase the membership to at least
100 before the next meeting of the
State Grange, in May,1910.
Mr. Walker expects to put in a
grange this week at or Dear Bandon,
thus giving Coos county five
Granges which will entitle them to
two sets of delegates in tbe State
Grange, which meets at Oregon
City.

favoring a law making a uniform

per mile on all rattroads doing Inisi

Some lines still
charge four cents per mile.
The State Grange at its meeting,
May 11th, at McMinville, endorted
the resolution, hence all the Granges
in Oregon are expected to help se
cure this law at the bands of our
next Legislature.
The Grange is working for the
best interests of all the people, it
is especially dsvoted to the agri
cultural classes. Every farmer and
dairyman should belong to the

Portland, Ore., Sept. 13.— Editor
Coos Bay Times:
Referring to
your article printed iu your valu
able paper ou September 10, re-
garding the railroad situation at
Marshfield, Ore., we wish you
would be kind enough to give us
space in your valuable paper to en
lighten the people of Maishfield in
regard to the situation as it really
stands, and to correct the erroneous
article appearing in your paper on
September 10.
In the first place, we desire to
call attention to the fact that the
undersigned did not come to Marsh
field to disrupt your community,
nor antagonize your people against
the Coos Bay, Boise and Idaho
Railroad Company, but that we
came th^re in the interests o f the
Coos Bay and Inland Electric Rail
road Company to make arrange
ments with your citizens toexpedite
the construction of an electric line
between Roseburg aud Marshfield.
In order to justify ourselves, we
herewith give you the facts ot the
procedure taken place in your good
city during our stay there, and
hope that you will print this in
your paper, so as to set us right
before the people, and also give you
an opportunity to print true facts.
