Marshfleld, Or., Oct. 10. Down in
Curry county. In the beautiful valley
of the Rogue river, one c-f the moat at
tract I t localities on the Oregon coast,
ta a littl empire all by itself. Under
one ownership ara town, school, hotel,
fttore, f lulling rights, salmon cannery,
lumber mill, big herds of cattle and
Sheep, extensive at6ck ran Res, fertile
fields under cultivation and vast tim
ber resources. The property ia that of
the Wedderburn Trading company,
owned by the Macleay estate of Port
land of which Roderick Macleay of that
city Is the president.
ina wedderburn 'Trading company
at the present time la one of the most
important business institutions in
Curry county and promises in the Im
mediate future' to be one, of the moat
valuable factors in the settlement of
that richly resourceful but as y-t un
developed and thinly settled county of
Oregon.
While thoestate Is a property which
stands by Itself and could exist alone
and independent of the rent of the
county within the bounds of its own
fences and waterways, that ia not the
policy of the present owners. The
whole property was formerly owned by
the late R. I). Hume who was known as
"The King of Roxue Rlvar." The es
tate whs purchased by thmWacleay in
terests of Portland In March. 1910.
Mr. Hume devoted many years In add
ing to his holdings and acquiring addi
tional lands and rights. But the pres
ent owners ara developing and have
started to open the lands for settle
ment, i
The prbperty was purchased as an
Investment. Mr. Macleay hH faith In
the future of Curry county and realizes
that settlement by people who tan be
come prosperous Hnd bring about a
higher and more Intense development
of the land constitute the greatest need
not only of his property but of the
county. There are few people In Curry
county, fewer than 30ff0. while the re
sources are great. Mr. Macleay wants
to develop his land and the locality
nd wit : this end in view has done
much to help, and cooperate with all
the people of the Rogue river district
. of the county.
The holdings of the Wedderburn
Trading company are valuable from a
business standpoint. It is an unique
property aa it incorporates several dif
ferent llines of resources and IndUB-
tries, requiring different departments
of management. Thene are the salmon
fishing rights and the salmon cannery.
, me genera store wmcn is itselz a
large concern, the farming and stock
raising arid the lumber mill with be'
i hind it ian almost endless supply of
timber. !
Oeorge Johnson,, an experienced fish-
. ry and cannery man has charge of the
, cannery;' Will White is foreman of the
farms and stock ranges; Thomas Carey
Is manager of the store and Attorney
W. H. Mertdith, the district attorney
or curry county, is lawyer and geh
eral business manager ,'fpr the com

Mr. Macleay himself spends much- of
j his time during the summer months

large bachelor hall, , equipped with
modern conveniences'!' In charge of
a Chinese servant TCeouse is lo
cated on a point overlooking the town.
the river and the ocean. Here Mr.
Macleay can entertain 12 of his friends
kin comfort and on many occasions ac
Iquaintances from Portland and other
places have visited the. place and en
joyed Mr. Macleay's hospitality.
16,000 Acres la Tract.
The property consists of about IS,
' 080 acres, about 6000 of which are
farming and gracing lands. It ex
tends from the ocean up Rogue river
: for about 12 miles, the' estate owning
.both sides of the river for practically
( the entire distances Along the river
f' there are fertile bottom lands backed
by rolling bills rich in grass and used
for (raising. Farther up the river are
timbered lands. On the estate there
are abonut 175.000.000 feet of standing
.; timber but in addition there is a large
amount of timber which is on adlonlng
lands ahd which must eventually find
ita way! through the Rogue river. The
:, saw mill In Wedderburn can cut 50,000
feet of Slumber a day. It has so far
only been used for furnishing lumber
for the jftatate and the local demand but k
whan the lumber market warrants It
could ba operated regularly. Mr. Mac
leay plans that he can build boats
which Can cross the bar of the river
and carry 200,000 feet of lumber eco
t nomlcaily.
Many claim for the lower Rogue

esque parts of Oreon. There is one
place on the Macleay property ', which
Mr. Macieay claims arrords as fine a

one can view miles of the ocean beach
and expanse.
The farm management of the estate
is quite a big business. Many hundred
acres Of land have been plowed and
placed under cultivation, sheep by the
thousands are herded over the hills and
hundreds of cattle are grazed. It is tne
Intention of the owners to cut down
the number of sheep to perhaps 1000
or 2000 and go more Into the cattle
business to save the pastures from the
close foraging of the sheep which have
for years past been raised in curry
county.. There are several separate
ranches which are numbered but there
Is one main ranch about three miles
from the town which is the headquar
ters of the farming. Here are located
the foreman's house, quarters for the
farm employes, big . barns, harness
shop, blacksmith shop, chicken houses,
piggeries and every kind of building
needed on a farm, numbering 15 or 20
In all.
There is a first Class slaughter
house and a sheep shearing establish
ment. Every kind of machinery needed
for modern farming is to be found.
In addition to the sheep, wool and
cattle produced, nogs are raised on a
large scale. When ready for market
they can be shipped to any port on the
mall gasoline ocean going schooners
which regularly make the port. Grain
crops and general farming are im
portent factors. After Mr. Hume's
eath and before the property passed
into the hands of the present owners
the buildings were much run down. Mr,
Macleay has expended many thousands
of dollars repairing the buildings, put
ting up new ones where needed and
building fences. There are now 26
miles of fences on tne farms. More
land has been put under, cultivation
than ever before. As a farm the whole
place has been put in a workable con
dltlon and pending th time of settle
ment the property ia operated as on
big farm.
Improvements la Weadetbttm.
Improvements have likewise been
made in the town of Wedderburn,
which is opposite Gold Beach, . the
county Beat, afid connected by means
of a ferry across Rogue river. Mr.
Macleay had the hotel opened so there
would be accommodations for the flehf
ermen who wanted to board or for
travelers, and new houses for em-
