Lo cated as they are, some just across the street, and none more than two blocks from one of the most attractive parks in Coos county these lots are among the most desirable resident properties in the city. As the park is improved and beautified the value of this property will increase by leaps and bounds, and within a very short time will be worth several times what we are asking for them. By buying the lots that are offered here, the purchaser is not getting proper ty upon which it will be necessary to spend a great deal of money for clearing.

The one which seemed to be ip g re a te st favor is the property now occupied by the Co quille Valley C ream ery company. The question of w hether it would be possible to g e t the cream ery company to sell th e ir plant also came up fur consideration and a com m ittee, con sisting of J. W. Miller, R. H. M ast, and F.
