Remembering logging era bridges and old speeder transport

Local history notes recall a resident Clarence Spitznas who operated a speeder to haul logging crews as bridges were tied to the timber boom. Former workers can visit the area to reminisce about the good ole days before tracks were removed and logging declined. Two new Powers police patrolmen John Cain from Myrtle Point and David Leach from Coos Bay were hired through state and employment service programs to serve through June and September 1 respectively.
