A fragmented Oregon-Gateway era piece notes Hill Harriman talks on colonist arrivals to Oregon, Oregon prohibition efforts, and national opium enforcement. It details Myrtle Point city election candidates, the water system project and a road proposal linking Coos and Douglas counties via the Middle Fork Coquille.
In Coos county 24 miles of road exist with about ten miles Graded and usable, while the Douglas side shows similar conditions and cheaper maintenance. Olalla road is gravelled and repairable, and the Middle Fork route offers better settlement and development potential.

The two counties favor permanently developing one feasible route to serve all county business.
