UOSEBURG REVIEW Fill DAY, JANUARY 22, 1886. In Memory of Florence Casebeer. Si-slcr Florence Casebeer of French Settle ment passed away froin this World on the 9th. Sister Florence was well known for 'miles around, being born and raised in French Set tlement. While in health she taught school in several places made many warm and true friends, and now that the Lord has taken her away we can't help but trop a tear in memory of one we lovetl. She leaves a mother, broth ers and sisters who will miss her, yes, this sister who always had a word of cheer for us, and whose smile we will never sec in this world again, is gone but not dead. T'is sweet to remember her as we saw her in October l.tt at campmccting at Cleveland, there we ported with her a happy young converted soul in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Oh how it made our souls rejoice when she testified that God for Christ's sake had pardoned ai her sins, and that he had adopted her in hisj family, to-day she is face to face with her Maker. ( Weep not mother, brothers or sisters she is not dead but gone before. There she will wait patiently for each one to follow and may we a!! so live that we will meet her in Heaven. Calm oh the bosom of thy Cod Young spirit ret thee now, I'vcn while with' us thy footsteps trod 1 1 is . eal was on thy brow. I u.it to its narrow house b ;neath Soul, to its place on high, They that have seen thy look in death Xo more may fear to die.

Yesterday all the lines north of us went down in the Willamette. Snow, sleet and rain prevailed to a great extent . Six inches of snow as far south as Junction City. Last winter's snow storm was bad enough, and the dwellers in the Willamette expected no repe tition of the last w inter's storm, but it is upon them, while we are having sunshine.

It is one of his best, and will be read with deep interest by all iu this section who always admired the Dr's. speeches. lie always said something when he spoke, and said it in such a way that everyone was de lighted. Hon. W. J. Plymale of Jacksonville was left at Oakland the other day and thereby be came much better acquainted with the hotel keepers.

Hon. Dinger Hermann House of Representatives, Washington D. C. Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of December 19th 1885. Wiih inclosed find note and diagrams of erro neous surveys found to exist in Township 30 South of range 4 west of the Willamette Meri dian in Oregon. In reply you arc informed that instructions from this office dated November 14th 1879 were sent to the Surveyor General of Oregon, to contract with a reliable U. S. Deputy Sur veyor to examine and adjust said erroneous surveys, to which the Surveyor. General reported that he was unsuccessful in get ting a Deputy to do the work at the legal rate of surveys allowed at that time, so no action w as taken. This office will at the earliest date practicable, take mcarsurcs looking to our ad justment of the surveys in said township and the. construction of a proper plat thereof. Very Respectfully, Wm. A.

Hubbard Creek can boast of more babies tlian any other school district of Us size- in the county. Mr. C. A. Briggs w ho is building a fine mill on Hubbard Creek will have it in running or der by the first of May. Coles Valley has gained quite a reputation as a corn country. J. L. Churchill is prepar ing to plant forty acres. Coles Valley is noted for its Republican proclivities but the Review has come to the front as a first-class newspaper. W K.

Smith of Garden Valley will preach at the school house on the first Sunday in February. He is a very able speaker and all should come out to hear him. Crops in this section look splendid, and from the looks and actions of our energetic farmers we imagine that the noted weather prophet of the Calapooia has failed to scare them sufficiently. Our stock is in much lictlcr condition than any we have seen between this place and Looking Glass. Verily this is the place for fat creature;; of all kinds from the steady old oxen down to the giddy girls, j W. B. Clarke is not the only happy man in this locality.

Several of our young men wear very dejec ted ccunlenccs this week on account of the departure of Miss Luanda Churchill, who has gone to Oakland for a few weeks to visit among relatives and friends, and Miss Ida Goodman who left on Monday's stage for her home on the Calapooia after a brief sojourn among us. No. 1 and 2. A lieply. Wilbur, Oregon, Jan. 14th, 1SS6. Ei. Review: If is no more than just to the Hon. Board of Commissioners that a fair statement of the facts in regard to the poor farm be made, that those who do not know the place may not be deceived by such old chronic grumblers as George Genger. When Gengcr says a letter farm could have been bought for $4000 he is mistaken and knows it if he knows anything about it. It so happened tliat the same farm was in litigation about one vear ago and the sworn statements of promi nent men of that vicinity as to its value would place it with the improvements made by Booth above that paid by the Board. If Genger's $4000 farm is the Pete McKinncy farm it is worth about one half as much. If he means the black mud farm he wanted to sell them, we arc informed it has already broke two men and is about to break him. Not every good farm is suitable for a poor farm. The one bought, in adaptability, in size, soil, im provements, timber, etc. make it the place for the poor, and the fact that a contract for three years has been made reducing the price for keeping the poor, from $4.95 per week to $2.88, should be evidence enough that the Board in buying the farm have served the people well and should be rather commended than misrepresented. We would advise Mr. "Gengcr to attend strictly to his own business rather than finding fault about something of which he knows but little. J. M. Hockett.

IJiPEOVMEfiTS MADE DUEING THE YEAB 1885. BUSINESS Or BUSINESS MEN The second important depot in the county is situated on the line of the O. & C. R. R. one hundred and eighty one miles south of Portland and nineteen miles north of Rose burg, the county seat of the county. It is sit uated on the Calapooia creek and is sur rounded by low hills; those on the south-east oT the town are covered with oak, fir and lau rel timber; the fir and laurel being evergreen form a beautiful back ground upon which the eye can rest, and present a pleasing contrast to the oak covered hills on the west. It has a population of about four hundred inhabitants and is surrounded by the finest farming lands of any town in the county. The country around and from which the trade centers at this point, is a succession of low timbered hijls with small Valleys situated between the valleys varying in size from three to ten sections of land, and might be termed a "Valley of Hills. These hills furnish pasture for large herds of sheep and cattle and the valleys from the nature of their location are of rich warm soil and very productive, growing excellent crops of wheat, oats, barley and rye, and when properly cultivated will produce an average corn yield. All the different varieties of grasses grow to advantage both on the hills and in the valleys, and with proper care and attention the ranges could be brought up to yield an unusual amount of pasturage. The climate of this valley is one of the finest to be found ofa the Pacific coast; the summers cool and pleasant; its nearness to the ocean insuring the cool sea-breeze so highly valued by all, and the winters generally warm, with very little freezing weather and but little snow. Stock of all kinds run at large at all times, and require but very littlo feed, if any, during the winter months. The health of this valley is proverbial; there are gcncrallyno diseases arising from malaria, and consequently but little sickness of that nature; and that dreaded disease, diphtheria, so common among the children of almost all communities is not known here. The main shipments from this point consist of wheat, oats, wool, beef cattle, mutton, bacon and lard; and of the small er produce, dried fruit, pears, apples and plums, poultry of all kinds and eggs. Oak land by an act of the Legislature in 1S78 as sumed the dignity of a city by articles of in corporation passed at that session. Like nearly all small towns under similar circum stances, its inhabitants could not stand the strain the importance of the occasion de manded and considerable litigation followed, yet in spite of all the differences of opinion the town steadily improved, and it is now one of the best improved small towns to be found. Of tilt; different businesses, trades and occupa tions we find: A. F. BROWN. General Merchandise, Machinery etc. etc. ' A. F. Brown was the founder of the present railroad addition to Oakland, and was the first agent of the R. R. Co. at this place, acting in that capacity until his individual business de manding most of his attention, he resigned his position as agent. In May 1875 he bought Sol Abraham's interest in the General Mer chandise establishment of Abraham & Bro. and formed a copartnership with Ilyman Abraham. In 1878 they dissolved partner ship, H. Abraham retiring from the business. Shortly afterward he and A. F. Stearns en tered into partnership under the firm name of A. F. Brown & Co. In 1883 A. F. Stearns retired from the business since which time he has conducted the business in his own name. By strict attention to business 'and carefiq management he has a prosperous business, car ries a large and well selected stock of goods, has one of the finest store-buildings in town, owns the public hall, grain warehouses and numerous dwellings which he has built for rent, and has in addition to this several good stock ranges well stocked with horses, cattle and sheep; thus proving the old adage: "Strict attention to business insures success." E. G. YOUNG & Co. General Merchandise, Machinery, etc. etc. This oldest mcrchantile firm was established in Oakland in 1S68 the firm consisting of E. G. Young and Charles Vail. In 1S74 Charles Vail retired from the firm, E. G. Young still carrying on the business. In 1878 the present firm consisting of E. O. Young, George J. Stearns and A. G. Young formed a copartnership and removed their stock of goods to the railroad addition where they are now carrying on probably as large a country trade as any store in the county. E. G. Young is one of our first pionetfrs, and has shown an almost extraordinary business tact; commencing business on a small capital and no mercantile experience and carrying it safely and successfully up to the time when the present firm was established, firmly establish ing a large and prosperous trade which the present firm have, by close application to business, still continued with an increasing trade to the present time. This company also owns large tracts of land well stocked which of itself requires a great deal of attention and care. Office of ciienoweth, stearns & co. This firm consists of James Chenowcth and A. F. Stearns in its membership. In Sept. 1885 they sold their stock of goods to A. K Brown and retired from the business. Jamcs' Chenoweth is the principal trader of the place, deals largely in live stock, cattle and sheep principally, and in wool and grain. He is an active business man and a large shipper. His success has been due to a close attention to business and establishing himself firmly in the confidence of the people. A. F. Stearns has been in business here for years, is well known and well liked, a careful business man, and possesses the qualities that insures success. He is at present engaged in settling up the business of the late firm, PAGE & DIMMICK. Drugs, Paints, Oils, Perfumery, Notions, etc. This business was continued from the old firm of Venable & Medley in Sept. 1877 by Medley retiring and E. J. Page associating himself with Dr. Venable commenced, as it were a new business by replenishing the stock and commencing to build up an increasing trade. In this they were successful and in a few years they found it necessary to build a more commodious store. In 1883 Dr. Vena ble died, and that year the present partnership was formed. They occupy one of the finest drug stores in the county, keep on hand a large stock of goods and are doing a thriving business. Both being men of good business ability is a warranty of a prosperous future. c. m. hall. (Post Office.) Hardware, Stoves, Tinware, Guns, Tistols, Ammunition, etc. etc. This business was established in 1879 be tween G. A, Taylor our present sheriff and CM. Hall. Upon the election of G. A. Taylor to bis office, C. M. Hall assumed the full control of the business, but. had hardly established the fact of sole ownership before misfortune experienced by many, the "fire fiend" visited him and on Dec. 2nd 1S84 his building, stock and Post office addition was burned resulting in an almost entire loss. He immediately rented another building and in twenty-four hours his remnant of stock was again displayed, and he was waiting on his customers and distributing the mails as prompt ly as before. In the early spring he built a large and convenient store replenished his stock and commenced business again in earn est. He has made a satisfactory Postmaster and is doing a business commendable to his energy. DEPOT HOTEL. This Hold was opened by R. Thomas the present proprietor in the fall of 1 872. Here is where the trains on the O, & C. R. R. stop foi breakfast and supper and always find meals in readiness and well served. "Dick" as he is familiarly called is the "improvement company" of the town. He has covered every available foot of ground on his- lots with buildings and the last year he conceived the idea of another convenience he could add to his already handily fitted-up house, by build a tower and placing a large watcr-tauk on top which upon being filled with water would enable him to supply jill his rooms with water and at the same time be a protec tion by its facilities for extinguishing fire To act upon this idea at once is characteristic of him, and he immediately employed workmen and in a short time had the structure complete and placed a 15000 gallon lank on top with one of the latest improved wind-mills to force the water up and into the tank, the whole structure being alxmt eighty feel high. He has since constructed a horse-power to attach to the pump, and is now prepared for any emergency. In the way of improvements it can be safely said that Dick is far ahead of any business man in Oakland. bailey's hotel. This hotel wes opened in April 1885 and has had a successful run. Bailey understands the business and in lime will no doubt do a large and prosperous hotel business. Mrs. Bailey over-sees the culinary department and that insures the traveler and Iwarder a good meal whenever called for. churchill's hotel. This hotel is kept by "Aunt Katie Church ill" and is more on the boarding house plan. It is unnecessary here to stale more than that the old customers, as long as they wish good board, never leave and are never heard en quiring for another boarding place. LIVERY AND FEED STABLE. This business was continued upon the re tiring of A. C. Young in 1S81 by J. S. Beck ley, the present proprietor. It is well kept and parties in need of feed or livery teams can always be supplied at short notice, w. 11. young. Groceries, Provisions, Cigars, Tobacco etc, This business was established in June 1S84 by the present proprietor, who was al that time but eighteen years old. By close atten tion lo business he secured a good trade which he b steadily increasing. He has fitted up a billiard room back of the store room which has been well patronized and has proved renumcrative. W. H. MOORE Boot and "Shoe Shop. W. II. Moore opened this shop in August 1879 and it can truly be said in this instance that he "slicks .to his last." lie is always found at his bench during forking hours and with his family at all other times. I Ic docs a good business and is one of the solid men of the town. W. T. TURNER. Boot and Shoe Shop, W. T. Turner is a young man lately from Tennessee., lie opened his shop in Oct. 1885. He is a good workman and has done, and is now doing a good business. ANTON LAt". Watchmaker and Jeweler. This shop was opened in Oct. 1883 by the present owner who by close attention to his business and satisfactory work has been en abled to add lo his shop a stock of jewelry, opticians goods etc. He has a large and well selected stock of jewelry, a full line of spectacles, eye glasses etc., and in fact is the only store in town that makes a speciality of this branch of business. The fact of his be ing an old countryman is a sufficient recom mendation of his being a first-class workman. DEARLING & PII.KINGTON. Blacksmithing and General Repairing Shop. This partnership was formed in Novcmler 1884. James Dcarling was a member "of the old Blacksmithing firm of Dcarling & Gibson of this town, has worked here for the past eight years. Wiley Tilkington was formerly the blacksmith of Looking Glass. They arc both first-class workmen and in addition lo general blacksmithing are first-class machinists and can repair machinery of all kinds in a workmanlike manner. E. HARTSOCK. Wagon-maker and Undertaker. In May 1885 E. Ilartsock bought the stock and business of George Sacry and has since continued the business and given general : sat isfaction in his work. In July he added to his business a full stock of undertakers mate rial of the best quality, and can now furnish work in that line on short notice and of any style required. e. n. BERG. I'urniture Store. This slore was opened in June 1 885 by the present owner, who has a large and well se lected stock of furniture. In addition to his furniture he has a work shop where he does all kinds of repairing in a neat and workman like manner. lie is a first class workman, attentive to business, and will no doubt meet with the success he merits. E. II. HENDERSON. The tonsorial artist of the town commenced business here in April 1 884. He is a fine workman and there are but few who now "scrape" their own faces, since he has proved by his work, the ease and comfort enjoyed by having this particular operation performed by a finished workman. J. It. WILSON. Harness and Saddlery. J. II. Wilson commenced business in Nov. 18S4. He has in ihe short time he has been in the business mastered the trade sufficiently to enable him to do his own work and general repairing, is a good salesman and is doing a good business. MRS. S. A. HUTCHINSON. Millinery. Mrs. Hutchinson commenced this business in 1884, but unfortunately suffered from the late fire, losing nearly all her stock with a total loss of shop fixtures. She removed the remnant of her stock to her dwelling aud waited upon her customers there until she could secure another shop, and since then has kept a large and well selected assortment of millinery goods. OAKLAND ACADEMj. I Occupying a commading josiiion on the! that one could desire in a location whether viewed in a sanitary way or an ajithclieal light or yet for its retirement as favorable to rapid advancement stands Oakland Academy a sol idly built two story structure. Thc grounds cover an entire block and arc ornjamenled with shade trees. The cupola contains a fine toned bell, the rooms are large well lighted and air)-, furnished with single patent seals, black boards, maps, charts, globe, chandelier, pic tures etc. which render the surroundings at tractive as well as useful. Three literary societies arc maintained.

Baker now of Walla- Walla built a grist-mill at the old Town site, one of the first built in Southern Oregon, and known as the Oakland Mill. In connection with the mill he opened a small store. In 1S57 he sold out his interest in his land and mill to E. G. Young, who. at once laid Out a town site. In the same year Lord and Peters, a firm well known and remembered by all early settlers, established a General Merchan dise business there. The different trades and businesses were soon all represented and as it commanded the trade of the greater part of the territory in the county north of the Umpqua River it was what is termed a "live town." In 1S67 the large school building, now used as a District school, was built under the manage ment of Prof. J. L. Gilbert; it soon became known as one of the first schools in the county. Like many other small towns its nearness to the proposed line of the rail road proved upon completion of the road, detrimental to its best interests, and the principal business houses of the town were moved down to the rail road addition soon after the depot was established. Other branches of business followed, and there is now nothing but the mill to represent the former business of the place. There is still a population of about sixty inhabitants in the town. The school there under the man agement of Trof. Tobias is well attended, a good many students from the surrounding country being enrolled there. The Professor comes to us well reccommended as an educa tor, and the success he has met with, and gen era satisfaction he has given to the patrons of his school, is a better rcccommendation . than any pen could describe or mind invent THE OAKLAND MILL. This mill is owned and conducted by Eubanks and Wheeler, who are still keeping up its reputation for the first class article of flour made there, the quality of which has for years been so generally known. r SOCIETIES'.
