An Offer To Aid The Town In Build
ing New Stairs To The Depot.


A kind friend has offered to help
the citizens of this village to build
new iron stairway in place of the
wooden one leading from the street
to the depot platform. The
new iron one will cost be-
tween $500 and $500. The citizens
are asked to contribute one-third of
this amount. In view of 'fOld Home
Week" and the 140th settlement of
the town and Coos being celebrated
here in Aug, 1912, it is hoped there
will be no difficulty in getting the
stairway. At that time invitations
will be sent to former residents and
descendants of early settlers to be
present.
Some of the enterprising citizens
of this village have had the street
before their houses sprinkled with
oil.
