I can't tell yuu much about Doug
las county. 1 will attempt to toll
you a little about tho city of Kose
liurn. Hosoburt; Is on the South
Ui'inua river. It la tho county seat
ot tJnur;las t-ouniy. Hoseburg hao a
IHinulatian of a little loss thnu 5,000.
tho population lu the last -top yours
haw boon on uu Increase of .100 per
cent. Very little Idea cau 'je obtain
ed of the attractiveness of Hoseburg
from tho cur windows, an the prin
cipal business streets r.ud the greater
ii:irt of the city cannot be seen by
those passing through on the tnln.
Dou cln a county has very beautiful
mountain scene". y of every possible
description. lu Douglas county we
also have Diamond lake, one of the
most hc.mtUul lakes in the world.
U Winchester Is located the power
plant which supplies Hoseburg with
liht and power.
Kruit has been grown In tho
'Tiii'xiua valley for fifty years or
ai-iio. There, are ninny bearing or-r'-imls
to be found at this time, al
though only a small part of the fruit
land In the comity has been set to
ni'i'hnni. According to the report of
tho slaty board of horticulture, 6,000
acres were planted to fruit during the
.-wa of 1909 and 1910.
Apples for half a century has been
demonstrated and it shows that fruit
can be grown in tho I'mpqua valley
and that this fruit 1b of the very
finest flavor, color, quality and size.
The planting of commercial orchards
has not been extensive until within
t lie past few years. During 1909
Ii 0,000 boxes were shipped from
Douglas county, while in 1910, GO
000 boxes were shipped.
Pears aro also grown in. large
quantities in the I'mpqua river val
ley. The Hurt let pear is the moht
noted one. The planting of pears is
increasing In the Umpqua valley
The actual selling price of the Ump
qua valley pears in Chicago was
$2.90 per box.
Douglas county is especially noted
for its prunes. Many millions of
pounds of prunes are shipped from
this county annually. Tho Italian
.prune is the chief prune. Thousand
of bearing prune trees can be found
in Douglas county.
The annual production of peaches
in Oregon amounts to millions of
boxes a year. There are markVts for
peaches In Oregon, Alaska and the
Kastern states. There is no other
valley better adapted for peaches
than tho Umpqua valley. The two
varieties planted In tho Umpqua val
ley arc the Crawford and the Union
Cling, both of which grow In per
fection. Figs nro another great crop nf the
Umpqua valley. There are no com
mercial flg orchards planted in this
valley at this time, although many
ranches have one or more flg trees
In their family orchards. These
frees together with the palm trees,
which can be found growing In the
valley, are conclusive evidence that
the Umpqua valley is adapted to fruit
culture.
Cherries aro very profitable In
Douglas county. Royal Aiute, Lam
bert, Bing, and Black Ucpirhlican are
tho principal varieties. One tree
near Hoseburg produced In 1910 over
tiOO pounds of cherries.
Strawberries are produced in the
Umpqua valley. For lif'teen years ttr
U.npqua valley has shipped to t;.j
Portland city markets the lirst straw
berries produced in Oregon. These
terries have sold as high as $9.60 per
orate. The early season is especial
ly favorable to the strawberry grow
er in the Umpqua valley, as It gives
nim these high prices for his pro
duct, i
The market for Ulackberries, ras
bonits and loganberries In the Ump
qua valley is excellent. The aver
age Easterner is well acquainted
with the respberry and the blackber
ry, but the loganberry is not well
known in the Kast. Dewberries, cur
rents and gooseberries are also pay
ing crops.
One of the growing industries of
J: Umpqua' Valley Is walnut cul
iure. The Uiiipqna valley is adapt
ed to walnut growing. The Oregon
walnut commands the highest price
in the world's market. As a rule
t wel ve wa I n u t trees a re p la n ted to
the acre.
The soil and topography nre es
pecially adapted to grapo culture,
and the bright warm days which oc
cur almost continuously through the
grape-grow in g season tend to pro
duce a liner flavored and finer col
ored grape thaiu.cau be found any
where outside of tho state of Ore
gon. Other fruits are found growing,
:ui li as plums, apricots, nectarines,
quinces und almonds. Practically
every kind of plum known Is grown
in the Umpqua valley. Melons of ull
xinds are grown here.
Wo, also have lots of general farm
ing, i t ick and dairying, poultry,
timber mid coal. But, in this small
essay 1 can't write on every subject
