Oakland ships poultry, eggs, grain, flour, feed, hops, wool, sheep, cattlo, tilo and brick, and will soon ship concen trates and sulphite ores from the mines. In fix weeks it has shipped as many as 100 cars, making five trains of cattle. In one month it has forwarded 100,000 pounds of dressed turkeys. In one sea son Portland alone receives 2lM,uQ0 pounds ol poultry, and 25,000 dozen es. In 15'Ju Oakland snipped ten car loadB of bops, ita first hop year, and it took fifteen cars to carry the wool. It forwards over 800,000 pounds of freight a month and brings in 250,000 pounds of merchandise every four weeks. Oakland was born in 1872. C. II, Barnelt, now of Walla Walla, owned the land and sold it to A. F. Brown, who had the only house here, and into which ho had moved in 1871. Oakland was the terminus of .the Southern Pacific railway, from 1872 till 1874, and had an immediate growth, with A. F. Iirown as first railway agent. E. G. Young soon camo and took tho lead in merchandis ing, and Brown became his chief com- p;titor till '93. E. G. Yong was born in 1S27 and camo to Douglas county in 1Sj3, and is still at the bead of. a big firm. A. F. Brown has caused the erection of thirty buildings, and U still building. He owns ten ranchea.'encoru passing 5000 acres, including 2UUU in cultivation. lie has flocks of sheep, and bas had 3000 head at a time, and herds ot cattle. The little cabin he lived in in 1872 has given way to a $0000 mansion with half an aire of blue grass lawn, gardeu and shrubberv. Enly OakUnd has been wiped out with ore, and the main thoroughfare is now built chiefly of b.ick and stone, faced with granite and concrete walks. It is a beautiful town in a beautiful country. Great level nelda extend from creek to creek, and hops and grain touch Oakland's feet. Hills and fulisced tim ber circle in the scene. The road opened to the Bohemia mines will be of vast benefit not only to Oakland but to Douglas county. On the way white cedar abounds, which sug gests a handle factory; sugar pine in plenty, calls for a sash and door factory; and hemlock and oak in multitude say tannerv. while this beinc a ere at sheeD QROCER.1 ES."& I country, a woolen mill, with protection, would farther rosress.

Jerry's ciar aid prosperity, and there few better points for a creamery. Ex-Senator D. V. Stearns bas 700 acres adjoining town, and 1133 very promising and extensive orchards, and tue Htm lands are increasing in acreage vearly. A canning establishment would not necessarily be dependent upon frnit, ai the region could be made a great vegetable garden, and tomatoes, peas and sweet corn would render good divi der.de. Of course ncne of these industries will hi created by a popocratic syndicate or free-silver and free-trade. The very f ict of Oakland biiug a champion ship per is the very best proof of its being a grand point for home manufacture, and annxbjrcf small industries is always more beneficial to a town or country than a vast institution as some of them are kept tmsy wnen depression may effect o'hers. Oakland has some Etalwart and right eously ambitious men anu r. li. ueckiey is one oi them. He is the cattle kin? lie rave out as low as $50,000 and as high as $100,000 a year for live stock and claims Douglas county to be one of the very best cattlo counties in the state. His ranch bas 400 acres in culti vation and several hundred to cultivate, and hislldOOO home shows refinement and the acme of comfort. Sleatns & Coeooweth have been es tablished ten vears in tha hardware and tinware business and own an elegant establishment, complet-j eaoujh for largo ctty. Ttey are nlso in the grain business with two warehouses, aggregate capacity 25,000 bushels, lun Jling wheat, oats and barley. Judge A. F. S'.earnB, now county judge, with office at Rosa- burg, as raised in Oregon, and is the soul of enterprise. Ho owns hop fields and grand town property including a mansion house costing $2500. ; C. L. Cheuo.veth was born in Douglas county and whi'ii manhood hail but dawned upon him joined partnership with Juike Stearns and in company own valuable real estate and individually a residenco betokening peace and plenty. .Mr. Chenoweth grants unqualified satis faction to the government and people as postmaster ami receives four daily moils by rail, and two three times a week, and one twice a week by sUg?, making the poutofiice r.u almost constant scene of ac tivity. Messrs. Stearns fc Chenoweth rauk amid the most substantial business men in Douglas county, and with euch rithteonsly ambitions and broadguaged ci ir.ens any region would prosper, edu cationally, commercially and sociallv. With new roads and the development of the miues Kelly & Hatty find thoir liv ery business improving, and deservedly bo. as tbey nave iiono excellent worn towards the building of highways. S. AV. Kelly was born in Virginia and is a typical gonial gentleman, and J. II. liatty also posseeses tho uualities which make every one glad of his success. The Beckley families are among the best known in Douglas county. They are prominent in ranching and liye stock operations and in merchandising. The merchant is J. S. Beckley who was the first mayor of Oakland, and has filled the unenviable position of marshal, constable and deputy sheriff, but that was years ago. His merchantile house is very attractive, carries between $4000 and $5000 worth of goods and bas cus tomers from forty miles away. The J. 8. Beckley residence C03t nearly $2000 and adds beauty to this beautiful town. The owner is popular by reason of ex cellent qualities of bead and heart. Born in old Oakland, which was abont a mile from where Oakland now is, C. H. Medley Is a native son, more ways than one. When he got tired of school he established himself in business, that is nine years ago, and he has built a trade which brings orders from the bills and valleys. His stock includes every thing in the provision line and his deal ings in produce are increasing. Tne young gentleman owns a half interest in two business buildings including the Masonic hall structure and is prospering right along. He is at business early and late and has before him a prominent commercial career. He is ably assisted in business by bis brother, W. K. Med ley, one of the liveliest young business men in the county. Tbe young bnsinees men of Oakland have nothing of the hurrah about them, but attend strictly to business and are ever polite to their seniors and affable with all. F. W. McKechnie, railway and Wells, Fargo agent, possesses fifteen years ex perience, and has been seven years at Oakland. That he has ever made an error is beyond tbe ken of cattleman, merchant, miller, or citizen, and a bet ter indorsement a gentleman in his po sition could not have. B. V. Bovingdcn owns fifteen acres within the city limits and he has placed five acreE in prunes, a sure crop. He came to Oregon ten years ago and bas been extending bis business greatly within the last few years. He 13 exten sively engaged in harness manufacture, has a big furniture establishment and is lumber merchant. The furniture business he bought from Underwood & Company. James Underwood is deputy county clerk at Roseburg and William Under wood bas gone to the mines. S. D. McKieson bas been in Oakland abont a j ear. He has been in West Vir ginia, Iowa and Nebraska and made tbe run at the opening of Oklahoma. When he came to Oakland and opened a racket store, some of the citizens agreed that he would stay three or four weeks. He is here yet and bas laid in his winter wood, and bas customers all the wav front Scottsburg to Bohemia. J. W. Beckley says if times are dull people have to eat and his new meat market disposes of four beeves a week and soon the packing ssasin will be on He built the first hotel at Elkton and staged it to Drain, ha'Jbeen deputy sher iff and always in the swim. It is a not able fact tbat people who come here and go away, come back and always stay. E. A. Raatbs has been in Wisconsin, Dakota and California and came here two years age went away and returned a year ago to stay. He has a first clss stiop and tempers tools lor tbe mines, shoes horses and does blacksmithing generally. J. A. Hanson bas put up new kilns at his Whitmore tile and brick work mile cr so from town . He established the works in 1SSS and the brick mt chine has a capacity of 25,000 a day. He was born in Sweden and when a kid hollered, "Here's your Herald" in New York. Oakland is in one of the healthiest cities of Oregon, and the physicians are few but they are noted in their pro' fession as to ability. Dr. E. J. Page was raised in Virginia and is a graduate, not only of tbe Louis villc Medical but also tbe Jefferson Medical College of Philadelphia and be has extensive practice extending to other counties, tie is u. fc. examining surgeon, been mayor three consecutive terms and prominent in educational furtherance. He is a member of the pharmacy firm of Page & Dimmick with a 1000 stock and handsome building and his $4000 residence is one of the beautiful dwelling places of Oakland. Dr. W. C. Gilmore is a graduate of the University of Iowa and ranks as one of the best physkians in a tier of counties. Z. L. Dimmick (Page and Dimmick) is tieasurer of Oakland. He was born Douglas county and fi r nine years was accountant for L. G oung& Co.. Ho bas been city treasurer ever cince 1SS3 and is one of the region's most re liable und prominent men. S. O Emery & Son built their mill three years ago. It is au imposing four story frame structure, and contains four douMe stands of Barnard & Lee patent rolls, and modern auxiliaries, propelled by a forty-five horse power engine and sixty boiler, producing 100 barrels of Hour per day and have a big Roseburg trad o. S. O. Emery settled down by the Umpqua Ferry in 1S51. He now has a stock ranch ol 0-10 acres and has weeded out his cattle and bought thoroughbred Durhams and Jerseys from James Rich ards, and v ill go into raising registered and premium winning stock. His sin, partner and general manager of the mill, W. T. Emery, wa3 born down by the Ferry. He has been rail way mail agent and is lightning in busi ness. His ranch has 250 cultivated acres in 306, and he has tixty cf then- in prunes, and apple and peach orchards besides. His splendid barn is 352 feet around and has every coveniecce for en trance and exit, and he is building a resi- j dence which will heighten the beauty of I this romantic and pastoral region. J. W. Knight, who wa3 section fore man for several years in Douglas county, is now in Marion county and has chargo of twenty-one miles of track. Mr. Knight 13 a great teader and is the champion subscriber as he probably takes moro papers than any other sec tion "boss" in America. He pays fcr the Plaindealer, Eugene Guard, Ful ton, Mo., Gazette, Fulton, 5Io., Tele graph, St. Louis Globe Democrat, St. Louis Republic and the Pacific Odd Fel low, and until lately took the Eugene Daily Register. He reads them all, and is an intelligent up to the times man and is one of the most capable and en ergetic of railroad men. Three and a half miles west of Oak- lanJ, and on the Calapooia Creek, are the Rochester Flouring and Custom Mills. Tbey were built thirty yearago. The 6ame structure still stands, but the internal arrangements are en tirely transformed. The home made wheel has given way 10 a Leffell tur bine and an engine will add to power, and the capacity it is contemplated to increase from twenty-five to forty bar rels of flour per day. Although work ing sixteen to eighteen hours the mill could not keep pace with 'be demand. rhe machinery includes two French buhrs and one single, and three double stands of Case patent rolls. Lpoa my visit teams nearly Eiirrouuded the mill doae had jis"; cjme from Elkton thirty miles away. L. D. Perdue, the proprietor, became connec:ed with tbe mills in 183", bonght half interest in 1SS9 and less than two years ago took entire control. Ho his ju;t added a comely dwelling to the property and is improving all the time.
