Last of Coulson buildings razed
The last old structure at Coulson townsite was torn down by Fred Pierce of the Pierce Packing company to salvage remains.

The site, largely used for feeding stock, now hosts shacks for needy families near the river dump. Labor unions in Germany oppose the government's plan to spur business and curb unemployment.
