Roseburg, Oregon
During the months of May and
June the publicity department ot the
Roseburg Commercial Club mailed
2543 pieces of mall. Letters of In
quiry were received from 39 states.!
Canada, England, Mexico, the Philip--nine
Island and Costa Rica. The!
greatest number of inquiries from1
one state were received from Wash
ington, with Oregon, California, Col
orado, Oklahoma and South Dakota
following. The number of inquiries
from Illinois and other Central Mis
sissippi Valley states were much less
than the p:ist year's average.
From 20U consecutive letters of 'in
quiry the preferences of the writer
are shown as follows: Ninety-two
made general Inquiry, 22 were Inter
ested In general farming. 40 In fruit,
2 In timber lauds, 20 iu homesteid
lands, 10 in stock and dairying, 5 In
truck, 7 In poultry and 2 in ho'h.
Twenty-five people made inquiry rela
tive to business openings In Rose
burg, 3 asked for maps. 18 aBked for
the names of real estate men, 22 !
for employment and 15 for copies of
our local papers. (
Among the businesses and prof fis
sions represented are found lawyers,,
painters, machinists, foundrympn, t
carpenters, photographers, druggists.'
architects, school teachers, real e.-j
tate men, civil engineers, pharnia-l
cists, tailors, engineers, doctors, bak
ers, cigar makers, printers, dimly,
makers, undertakers and electriciHim.
A number of people asked if they i
could purchase school laud at a low'
price. There were also a number f
Inquiries relative to the Oregon A:.
California Railroad lands. Inquiries'
were made relative to hotnestt-ad
lands In Coos and Curry Counties, i.s
we!! as Douglas County, and vario s
inquiries were made relative to Coos
County and the construction of the
proposed Coos Hay, Holse & Eastern
Railroad, lately known as the Coos
Bay & Oregon Central Railroad. A
number have asked when this rail-,
road will be built; others ask when
the railroad will be built from Drain
to Coos Hay. and a few business men
have written In asking about the op
portunities for business locations fn
the new town sites along this rail-
road. ' 1
A friend wriies in and wishes to
secure a homestead with some im
provements on It.
An artist from New York and a
lady school teacher from Wisconsin
also wish homesteads somewhere in
the county.
A number of Inquiries osk about
logged off land, and also places to
rent. There are sin-oral Inquiries
relative to transportation between
Roseburg and Coos Hay.. A number
asked about the auto road to the
coast, and one asked if it is true
that a railroad will be built front
Grants Pjiss to Crescent City.
One wrrter wished to locate some
where where she could raise (lowers,
and one of our men correspondents
stated that the primary requisite for
him is a loactiou where fishing is
good.
One writer in Minnesota states '
that a party of .'10 Minnesota m'.'n
expect to visit this part of the coun
try this fall with a view to Investing
and locating. A man from Florida '
wants to know how hot it gets here
in the summer, and there are a num
ber of Inquiries as to the supply of j
mosquitoes fn Douglas County. There
are numerous trades offered. Two
people make inquiry as to the proba
bility of earthquakes in the Umpqua
Valley.
In view of the fact that the rumors
relative to the building of the rail
road from Coos Bay are Increasing
in frequency, It may be of some sig
nificance to note that the inquiries
relative to this railroad increased ma
terially in the last two months, and
jcome from various portions of the
'country, so it seems that there is an
'impression pretty generally through
lout the West that this railroad Is to
be commenced before spring. While
the Commercial Club would be very
glad to give definite announcement
: relative to the building pf this rali
jroad. nevertheless the inquirers were
; told in every case that there was uo
j certainty of Its construction, as no
! definite public announcement had
! been made of the fact.
The Portland Commercial Club re
educed its advertising matter duritig
:the spring months on account of the
1 general fanning communities being
too busy to write letters while plant
ling crops; therefore the number of
', Inquiries has been less than usual.
I The publicity department is pre
I paring a new book covering the re
) sources and attractions of the Ump
qua Valley, which it hopes to have
i ready for distribution before the
j fall colonist rates are In effect. This
I book will not be sent out promis
cuously, as was the case with the
previous book, but will be sent only
to people who write making a di
rect request for It, as the club, by a
series of little folders, has suc
ceeded In interesting people general
ly In Roseburg and the Umpqua Val
ley without resorting to the expen
sive methods of Bending out these
books generally.
