Novelty-wood Broom factory crop character-trait RR-n 14 CCH Mar 7, 1899
H. A. Todd, of Round Hill Farm, near Arago, and proprietor and manager of
the broom factory at that place....Mr. Todd is an enterprising, good citizen, and deserves
special encouragement in the industry which he has instituted. He is a practical
broom maker and came from where corn was one of the staple productions,
and having invested in a home here, the counsel that "corn won't grow here," and the
"I told you so" disparaging criticism, up to this time he made a small experiment the
past season, but sufficient to assure him that he will succeed at the next trial. Mr.
Todd is making an extra good and neat article of brooms, and supplies our
home market almost entirely. Our merchants handle his manufacture willingly
and the brooms are popular with our people. Mr. Todd is putting out a large
orchard also, and will take a hand in growing good fruit and carefully preparing the
same for market. +

J. H. Timon, the coal mining man, has been in our vicinity for several days
past looking over several prospects with a view to leasing. He already has an
option on one coal tract but is making a survey of the others and will more
than likely get hold of the Southport property; ie, he will, if he can get terms
to suit. Mr. Timon is one of our practical mining men and has succeeded in
this county where others have failed. He has been successfully operating a
mine at Riverton for the past five years, but owing to slack shipping facilities
has been forced to come to this side of the Isthmus. He is an enthusiast on the
coal of Coos county, by no means does he exaggerate when he says that Coos
bay will, in 10 months, be shipping twice the amount of coal it has ever
shipped before.    +
