1913 Road-bond debate over Coos Bay routes compared to Myrtle Point
An old Marshfield Record interview reappears, arguing for the Coos Bay Wagon Road to Roseburg via Camas Valley as the best route for a $440000 county road bond. The piece counters distance grade and country claims, noting Myrtle Point offers faster transport, better grade, and richer farming lands along a rail-supported corridor to Marshfield.

A small inquiring survey of 52 elk hunters in Chesnimnus and Wenaha units shows average elk trip costs about 150 dollars per person and average hunting party size of four. Hunters report lifetime elk kills around 2.5, with 37 in cow permits and most saying they would hunt elk regardless of permits. The report notes limited statistical validity but suggests broader study next year.
