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.
Lone arc the paths and sad the bowers
Whence thy meek smile is gone,
But Oh a brighter home than ours
In heaven Is now thine own.

them, while we are having sunshine. Our far

to Hon. J. 1 1. Shupe for many favors extended
and for writing up the town of Oakland which
appears in this issue. This is a thriving town
and its citizens are worthy. We send about
300 copies of the Review to Oakland this
week and they will be read with interest.
Read the address of Dr. Brown on the

always said something when he spoke, and

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. We sympathized with him for we
were once left in McMinnville the same way.

and successful business in our midst. Mr. C.
is a "rustler," a business man, thoroughly
posted in his line, a gentleman and represents
a first-class factory.

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

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.

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.

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

OAKLAND. OLD TOWN.
In 1854 Dr. D. S. 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.
