""JTi isqs w THE OREGON SENTINEL ' JAfKSOXVILLEi Wednesday, : : Juno 4 1879 - BlOGtMrHlCAtSKETCHCSr Ebeh EmerY. I The subject of this stretch was born in .Bedford County, Pennsylvania, in 1819. When nine years of age he ac- 'companied his parents to Ohio, -whither they removed, and before attaining his majority he learned the mill-vrights. trade, to which he devoted himself for several years. In the spring of 1850 he started for California, where he ar rived the following Fall. He engaged in mining in Coloma County, assisting in damming the middle fort of the American river. He left GreenTrood valley in the spring of 1851, and came to Yreka, then known as Shasta, and ran one eryfcbe pitman of an 'Arm- bin saw mui, ueuer kuuhu us u. whipsaw, and sold lumber at $350 per thousand. JTrom Yreka he came to the site where Ashland is nov located, and in company with Jas. Emery, Jas. A Cardwell and Dowd Hurley built a saw mill and sold lumber for 80 per thousand at the mill. The first lum ber used in the construction of a build ing in Jacksonville was sawed at this mill by Mr. Emery. In 1854 he as sociated himself with A D. Helnian, J.- B. Emery and Morris and built .the Ashland flouring mill. His wife, whose maiden name was Sophia Hoov er, and to whom he was married in Ohio, in 1841, remained in that state until 1853, when she joined her hus band in Ashland, and they added to their other business that of hotel keep ing. They continued in business at that place for several years, when they sold" out and removed to Eagle Point, and Mr. Emery built and owned the fine flouring mill at that place till last August, when he sold out and engaged in merchan dising, which business he is now suc cessfully conducting. It will be seen that Mr. Emery is a true representa tive of the American pioneer, a race who have done more to advance the best interests of this government than all the political huxters and shoddy ar istocrats that have followed in their track, from the first settlement of L'tMaHr$,Bi'r'-a.til ne VW"CTppiicics jur. x-mery is a Republican from principle, and thotighneither demonstrative nor ambi tious of prominence, he is at all prop er times ready to defend his political tenets and give a reason for the faith that is in him. He is a consistent member of the Christian Church, an honorable gentleman in his dealings with all whom he is brought in con tact, and hence universally respected wherever known. THE ASIILAM ACAHOIY. We arc glad to -learn that the good people of our neighboring town have at last decided to re-open the Academy that has done so much for their pros perity. We take the following from the "Tidings:" The management of the institution was placed by the last Quarterly Con ference (which met on Tuesday) in the hands of a board of trustees consisting of the following named gentlemen: Prof. L. L. Rodgers (President, elect) Messrs.,J. S. McCain, W. T. Chapman, A. G. Bockfellow, Clark Taylor, Jacob Wagner, John Walker, W. H. Atkin son and G. P .Billings. These names are sufficient to inspire confidence in the successful management of the school and the -business already transacted by the board is regarded with great satis faction by all who are interested in its success. The grade of the school will be rais ed' to thai of a college, and a. normal department and a commercial depart ment will be added. . The board of trustees have succeded in prevailing upon Professor L. L. Rogers, a gradu ate of one of the Eastern universities, and an educator well known in Oregon and California, to accept the position of President of the institution which is styled, "The Ashland College and Nor mal School," and will confer regular degrees in each of the courses, classical, normal and commercial. The Board nre exceedingly fortunate in being able to secure for the Presidency of the col lege a gentleman whose ability, charac ter and attainments render him so em inently qualified for the position, and we feel assured that success in this promising field for a young college would bo attained by none more readi N. ly than by him. A full corps of com petent assistants will support the "President, and in due time the regu lar announcement of the opening of the college will appear, with such infor mation as may be desired by those who may contemplate availing themselves of its advantages. The road from TJniontown to Herd's mill arm other points on Big Apple gate, is ueing put in fine condition for travel. BOAB TO CBESCEXT CITr. From Mr. L. F. Cooper, who has just been taking the levels of the new proposed route from Crescent City to Waldo, we gather some information that will be of interest to the people of Jackson and Josephine counties. It was discovered many years since, when too late, that the present wagon road between Waldo and the coast had been improperly located, and that instead of laying it in the lowest passes it had been run over the highest mountain to ac comodate interested parties who had secured ranches along the line. The road, although rough and over very heavy grade, was used with profit by our freighters, but on the completion of the railroad to Roseburg the use of this road was nearly discontinued. It has now been ascertained that there is anatural pass actuallynineteen hundred feet lower than the highest point on the old road, and through which a wag on road or narrow gauge railroad could be easily constructed. This route is by way of Gasquet's, up the middle fork of Smith river, to the divide at the head of Elk creek, and down Elk creek to Waldo. Snow at the highest point on this route rarely falls over a foot in depth, and It could be as safely trav eled during the Winter months. The distance from Crescent city to Jackson ville is one hundred and twenty-six miles, and when the immense resources of Jackson and Josephine counties are considered we cannont impress too strongly on our people the absolute ne cessity of the very shortest route by tide water. This i3 the only route by which we can rearh the sea with our products, and our people will soon re alize that there is an inflexible law bringing poverty -to us if we can not exchange the product of industry for those necessities which we can noi produce ourselves. We intend to con tinue the agitation of this subject, but those interested must remember that we only can suggest while it is the du ty of others to act if they would help themselves. Should we succeed in procuring the selection- of Crescent City as the harbor of refuge there is not the slightest doubt but that we will have railroad communication with, that point within two ypsrs. "If we do not sucaatfpuly hope is a new jHBHHie sooner we con . ,. 7 ourselves the ucuer lor us. Trjlus It Again. The managers of the Land Company now holding the fraudulent grant of the Oregon Central Military Road Co. are making another effort in Congress to obtain a valuable gift of land with out any consideration whatever. This infamous swindle on the people will never be consummated without another effort on our part to prevent it, and a e hope the press of Oregon will be true to popular interests and assist in its defeat We need not again write the history of this fraud. It would .reflect .no credit on certain par ties in this State, the original projec tors of the scheme, and it is already well known as a bare-faced imposition on Congress, and a piece of shameless robbery. It is but a short time since one of the original stock holders con fessed to us that no road was ever con structed as required by the terms of the grant, and he added very plainly that the original company thought it cheaper to buy Gov. Woods' certificate than to build a road. Now the as signees of the original thieves, for they are no better, apply to Congress for a floating grant of one hundred and thir ty thousand acres to indemnify them for land absorbed by the Klamath In dian reservation, located prior to the survey pf the pretended road. The public- of course understand that this scrip may be laid on vacant government lands in any of the Territories, the bill now before Congress being the same as that amended by Senator x'litchell, -and providing that lieu land cannot be selected within this State. It makes no difference who is to be robbed. The company has no equita ble claim, and Congress might just as well rob the people of Oregon as those of Idaho or Washington Territories to enrich a company of land grabbers. We protest again unequivocally against this steal, and will watch the course of Senators Grover and Slater and see if they dare support the measure. T. J. Critser and L. C. Rodenber ger returned to this city from this mine, situated on Grave Creek, durin" the week. They have mado a partial "clean up" and were rewarded for their labors with a fair amount of the jim- cious metal They appear perfectly wen satisneu witn tna lnvestment-and result of their enterprise, and inform ed us that if thev could nossihV nh- tain the lumber work would still be progressing, as a good head of water is now running through their ditch. Star. Rosebunr Winers chronicle thn furt. that their warehouses are crowded with freight lerchants. A XE1T ADVOCATE. The California and Oregon military wagon road land company of capitalists comprising John Boggs of Colusa, a noted land speculator, and some nine teen others, have secured the services of McGowan, a Michigan Congressman, in place of Luttrell, whose term has ex pired, with his prospects certain of nev er being returned. This company is working hard to obtain lieu lands for the Klamath Reservation, without completing the road as required, and Congress should never grant scrip to float their claim on other lands until the road is completed according to agreement Tins-land grabbing com pany purchased the land grant for a mere song, and only pay taxes on an assessment of 40 cents an acre for land equally as good as settlers in the vicin ity are assessed at 5 to 15 an acre. The new bill introduced by McGowan provides that the scrip can bo located in any of the Territories, in, ylnne of Oregon, as in the Luttrell bill, which first allowed the covering of vacant land in California also, and which was condemned by our late constitutional convention. The new bill is now in the hands of the Committee on Public Lands, and although it exempts Cali fornia and Oregon from the clutches of the John Boggs squad of land grab bers in this State, who so vigorously opposed our new constitution, it should be defeated as a fraud in obtaining land they are not justly entitled to. The very fact of backing down from claiming land in California, and again in Oregon, is very good evidence that an examination of their road will show tbem not entitled to over 300,000 acres already obtained from the Government through the misrepresentations of Gov ernors of Oregon who falsely certified to the completion of the road, or upon the say so of men hired by the compa ny to so report The former bill passed .both Houses of Congress, but was pock eted along with several other bills by the President. We earnestly hope if it succeds again that Hayes will show his good sense by vetoing the scheme or pocketing the bill as before. Yreka Journal. , - " PIJETTY MOETI13.
