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

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

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. It takes four
