Pacific Ocean;on the North by Lane county: and on tho Last by Lake and Jackson bounties. The coun ty ia 90 miles f ron North to South and 100 miles from East to West,, extreme points, and has an! irregular boundary line formed mainly by spurs of the Cascade range andjby the Siuslaw river. Tho county has an'area of 4,000 square miles, or 2,500,000 acres. Of this 503,b50 acres ard under cultivation, and it is almost inipossiblo to estimate the area that can b placed tinker cul tivation,. Competent judges estimate that there is at east 300,000 Acres still subject to eutrj under the United States Land Laws, some" portion of which can bo tilled! There is still oyer half of the county) which is not sur veyed, much of which is practically unexplored. Of that subject to entry aliout ten ir cent jean be easily culti vated, but is not counted with the largo tracts known as ltailroad and WnrVonEoad trrants, which embrace excellent land. . - o I TOPOdHAPHT. The county of Douglas include the region eommonly known as the Ump qna valley." Thejonly resemblance to a valley it present, as whole, con sists in the basin iikc oppression ine center of tho county forms, wnen contrasted with the high mountalns en' compassing it. The Calipoohts on the north, Cascades on the easti vanyon and Rogue Riverj mountain" on the south, and that pcton of the Coast Range known as Jthe "TJmpquaa on the west, hem it in with high walls of rock and timber. The interior of this great basin is composed of "small Tal- leys, plains, canyons, gorges and moun tains. Irregular spare shoot out from the main ranges and cross the conn try in all directions, causing and endless variety of hill and; vale, meadow and mountain. From ;the Cascades numer ous large creeks, or rivers, . flow down between these branching mountains Rmira nntil their waters are all united ... , it l n . li ana cm inrougn tne ioasc xvango in tire TJmpqua river. The largest of these are North UmpquV, South Umpqua; Cawpooia, Deer, Conger, Dead Man s, Bear. Coffee, Day's and Myrtle, Hub bard, Lake and Camp creeks, rising in the Umpqua mountains, flow into tho main stream, as dq Oalapooia and Elk creeks ' from the! Calapooias on the north. Smith auq Siuslaw rivers flow westward from their sources in the Calanooias. The main portions ol available land . . a ( m for agricultural purposes lie mostly , in the northwestern part of. tbe county on the Siuslaw, Smith and Umpqua rivers. THE RESOURCES (jf the county are various, and in the near future will doubtless become Terr extonsive, principal and chief among which may be mentioned the products of the agriculture, lumbeung, stock raising, wool growing interests, fruit products, mining interests, comprising that of gold, silver, quicksilver, tellu rium, copper, nickle, cement, lime and coal, a gcod depcsU of which has recent ly been discovered, which bids fair to develop into a Ivery extensive and profitable branch! of industry. A.1 of the above-named minerals are known to exist, and offer unexcelled advan tages to the hardy prospector and to the enterprising capalitista for Invest ment with the most promising results. THE SOIL Is generally dark loam, with clay sub soil. Along tho water courses it is of a more sandy nature, and all of it throughout the cdunly is remarkable for its fertility and its adaptability to the pursuits of either the farmer, fruit grower or stock raiser. A rich, red loam is sometimes! found which is very productive. Still, Ihere are some smal sjiots of sterile, gravelly soil, and some of clay, to be found in this, as well as other counties. Like in other coun ties, the best lands often extend to the tops of the high hills. CLIMATE. No county in! Oregon is so wel favored for climate as Douglas, not withstandinc Its hlllr features, and the mountain ranges surrounding it. There in not enoush snow falls in the . winter !, har.fWtHl! hnv to maka a snow ball from, in the valleys, nor is the summer attended ith any unpleasant features, such as jthunder storms and cvclones. which almost driye mad "with fright the citizens of many Western RtatML A arood nizht's rest and sleep can be obtained at all seasons, and stock will thrive and de Swell anywhere in the valleys and low huls in this county al winter." The aYerage rain-fall pev year from to 1 884, inclusive, was thirty-four and seventvtwo-one-huri- dredth inches. This is less than that in many of the Western and even ex treme iastern states. It talis in showers, lasting from a few minutrs to sometimes two or three day, wit; many bright sunshiny days between. LA!fD PRICES. ' llicse vary here as elsewhere, ac cording to soil, location and btate of improvements. It ranges from $5 to $50 per acre. There are many ranches adapted to dairying which can be pur-; chased at very ire asonable rates. , ' : AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS. mi w m - . " ine staple crop ot the county is wheat, although wool ranks almost, if not quite, equal to it " Corn is also grown to a very . large extent, and is fully equal in qualitv to that produced in JockBon. - These T two counties (Douglas and Jackson,) take the lead as the corn producing counties Tn the state; a sure and reliable crop, can atways o aepenuea upon. . uats ot a superior weight and quality are .here grown, Kye, barley and flax dp fully as well as in any other section; Hops also do weiL JtSrooni corn and sugar cane have never been tried tir any great extent bat would doubtless thrive. Potatoes and all vegetable crops pro duce abundantly and are of an excel lent quauty- in tact, green vege tables can be purchased almost the year round. Hay is ad important product and commands a good price the year round. FRUITS. . Of all kinds do exceedkigly well in this county. Apples, peaches pears, plums, cherries, prunes, apricots. quinces, figs and grapes, as far as tried, can be relied on. No insect pest of any kind bothers fruit in this county, and all fruit has an exceptionally fine navor, growing to avery large size. All descriptions of tame and wild ber ries grow in great abundance, even to three varieties of huckleberries. Almonds and English walnuts have also been grown here. STOCK-RAISING. Was formerly the chief industry of the whole county, but of late years has given place to agriculture in the older fettled, portions. While the larare tarda have been reduced in size, they liave been improved in quality. This is especially noticeable in the woolgrow- ing industry, fjattle, horses and hogs nave been jrre.Uv lmnrncprl Th grades of wool from this county Imve always ranged drss in the San Francisco market and command the highest price. TIMBER. This will undoubtedly command as high a rank in the future as any of the eading productions of the county, es pecially along tho Umpqua, Coquille and Siuslaw rirers. The former two are navigable for small boats for a dis tance of thirty miles from their outlets into the Pacific, and along the shores of which are large bodies of most ex cellent timber, such as fir, red and white cedar, sugar pine, myrtle, chin quapin, oak, ash, maple, laurel and mountain mahogany, HOXEY. There is an abundance of wild honey ana me nusy oee Unas an immense number of wild flowers almost the en tire year around to feed upon. The honey produced is clear and of excel lent flavor. MANUFACTORIES. Are very limited in number. At present they comprise saw and flour ing mills and one foundry and machine shop. Ihere are opportunities for others, which, by beginning now, would secure a permanency that would be come valuablo as the county settles un. There is an abundance ot water power ii.i . . . tuai is very convenient and at acces sible oints. SCHOOLS AND CHURCHES. The country is well provided in this respect, and are well supported. The new comer has no occasion for anxiety nor fear of heavy taxes to support incut. .. TAXES The total liabilities of Douglas coun ty for the year 1885 were $75,719,84; total assetts $68,303,33 leaving a bal ance of $7,416,51 as an actual county debt which is something remarkable considering the amount of public lm provement. Tho total taxable property of the county is almost, if not quite $3,000,000. The amount needed for the coming year will be $52,383,78 or 18 mills on the dollar, compared with other counties hi the state this is al most nominal : ., ';C ': ' 7 '' .' HEALTH. -.' This is a remarkable and prominent feature in this county to which the at tention of every stranger is called. No malaria or miasma is known to exist in Douglas, nor is there any prevailing type ef disease incident to this county, ; This important industry of the state may be termed as in its infancy. . The resources of the county in this respect are in every way worthy of the most thorough investigation of every mining l r ' r- - - ,. . tt man; ana is . iirmij oeuevea vj many that could some earnest and energetic prospecting be done, there would be a full realization of the roost sanguine expectations of the advocates of this valuable pursuit At present there is a nickle mine, a large nnmlier of placer mines, and a cinnabar mine. All are worked to a greater or lejs extent, and at a more or less profit . . PBIKCTPALTOWKS. ' The principal towns of the county are lloseburg, Oakland, Dram, Scots burg and Gardner, besides which there ore a large number . of Postofllcea -of minor note, scattered in convenien sections of the county. R08EBCRO. ; Is the county seat, and contains a pop. niation or about 1400.

OAKLAND A5D DRAIN. " Are small placrs on the l'ne of the O. & C. roadf while Scotteburg arid Gard iner are on the Umpbut river. Their main supplies are broughft. from San Francisco by coast vessels. - In fact, the coast section of the connty will un doubtedly become very valuable from its timber interests in the future. Doug- . las county is, in fact, one that will ever command attention, not only from its delightful climate, which is second to none in the country, but also from if stock and fruit-growing as well as farming interests. Its stock industrv especially, will always be a prominent one because ot its most, excellent and extensive grazing tracts, the gateway ' to which are often held by the purchase of a few acres of land. To those who have money to invest, the advice that can intelligently be given, is to look over Douglas county for yourselves not along the railroad mainly, but iu the interior, and yfe will find good opportunities for investment in any of the industries named, and will find one of the most - picturesque, healthy - and equable cor nties in tho whole State of Oregon. 7. ; . immiqma rrox. How Orrgan Ftrit XecHee Atten tion from Eastern. Mctllcra. These figures and (act were adapted from a lengthy article on the same subject, in Lang's history of the Willamette Valley. The first regular immigration- to' Oregon from the East arrived in 1841; beginning that steady stream of young and vigorous life which has annually flowed into the State for forty-four years, and the end is yet to come. There wCfe many causes for this immigration. Trappers in the East, who had visited the Pacific Coast, sang the praises of the lovely and fertile valleys of the Willamette and Sac ramento, where winter was unknown and grass was green all the year around. - The Western frontiersmen caught up the refrain, as it passed from cabin to cabin, and in a few yean the tale was an old one with the hardy pioneers of the West. .'."The pufcricatVo -t Pr. Parker's book, Inrings "Astoria" and Bonneville," John Dunn's work on Oregon, a letter written by Robert Shortness, who had come out in 1839, combined with a general financial depression in theVestern States, caused much attention to be directed Jo ward . Oregon, California then being-a province of Mexico and consequently less attractive to American citizens. Thomas II. Benton and Lewis F. Linn, United States Senatorefrota- Missouri, also did sonic noble work in Con gress for Oregon. , The immigration of 1 84 1 consisted of tu persons. Among them were Joseph L. Meek, Caleb Wilkins, Dr. Robert Newell and Francis Ermaringer.

Among those arriving were J. W Nesmith, William Waldo, A, L. Lovejoy and Jesse Appelegate. ' The immigration of 1844 was nearly as great as that of the previous year, adding some 800 to the, American population, 234 of them able-bodied men. "They were," ajys Hon John Mirtto, "self reliant, determined men. They started from different points under different leaders and never united, but on the contrary, divided up still more as they traveled, a single man sometimes separating himself from an entire company under the settled conviction that they , were all too con trary for him to keep company . with any longer." . The main companies had three starting points, one from near the mouth of the Platte, one from Independence, and one from Capler's Landing-, twelve miles from .St. Joseph. 7-.- - ' The immigration of 1845 consisted of some 300 souls. They brought the cheering in telligence that James K, Polk had been elected President on the party cry f "Fifty. m four-forty or war." Their numbers, too, added so materially to the strength of the American ' element that they then outnumbered the Bti tish ten to one. 0 7 7 The immigration of 1846 consisted of 2,000 souls, bringing with ihem 470 wagons and 1,050 cattle. 7 The emigration of 1 847 has been estimated at 5,000 souls, fully two-thirds of whom came to Oreqon, the remainder adding their strength to the Americans who were straggling to hold possession of California against the defeated Mexicans, from whose grasp it had been wrested.
