A Short Letter. Douglas Co., Or., Dec. iSth, 18S6, Editor Review. Enclosed find $2.50 for which you will send the Review to E. A. lor one year and oblige an old time Republican. The old Republicans have tried to find fault with the Review, but we cannot and must admit after almost a death struggle that the Review is the best paper in Douglas County. . Respectfully yours. Republican. No president ever assumed the reins j of our national affairs under as many embarrassments as those which have surrounded tho present president of tho United States. Every obstacle that the . opposition press could throw in Ins athway, quickly appeared, while tile clamorous element of his own party demanded of him impossible action. The civil service law so much detested aud so inconsistent with the iiolicy and ights of political parties liound, to gether his hands so tightly that what of right should havo been done by the resident, m filling the offices with democrats could not be achieved. II is civil service is so much despised that the rank and file of ail political parties regard a violation of it as no political sin whatever. The President as a con sequence is blamed because he does not this law. Tt is a pleasure for republicans now they aro out of lower to denounce the law. When they were in power t hey did notfeel the force of this law for the simple reason that emovals and appointments were rou tine work with a party so long in pow er, and which could be efl'ected by this aw even in a change of administration. he change came and all parties now see the injustice of the law from a dem ocratic standpoint. No political party can maintain its organization or obtain any force that has its hands tied fast with cords, that prevents tho party from tho rewards that should re sult from its own possible victory. No 01 ltical party will deny .this proposi tion. Hie Jf resident has stood, like a veteran, firmly at his post of duty, rcc ojjnizing and following the only course to be pursued without the least devia tion.. Every effort has been and will e made to impugn his motives and mis state his acts by tho opposition press. Notlnnar can be done now in tho way in tlieir estimation. And it is act patent everywhere m tho nntion, that there is not an official act that the President has done, were ho a republi can, but what would receive the hearty support cf every republican in the land. It is also a truth aud compliment to the president to say, that he i3 not only respected for Jus administiative ability by a large element known as conserva tive republicans, but he is foared by leading republican lournals more than any other democrat as the possible can didate tor president in lboo. It we will but look beyond the politicians we will see that president Cleveland is the popular executive of our country: Here is a confidence among the people in his ability, integrity and determination that is ielt; and which makes lain in public estimation the most trusty and powerttu saleguard, in any emergency that may arise, in the administration of public anaiis. He has about him a most excellent cabinet. Perhaps no better could have been selected. His cabinet is in perfect accord with the Presidents view of his own duties, jus responsibilities and his embarrassments. The cabinet is aware of the justness of the popular complaint aguust the laws that have tied up the bands of the President, and so far as it is in the power of that body of men, the people have been relieved. Cut tho cabinet can go but so far, and when it reaches the wall, the President himself cannot surmount, the end is attained by both president and cabinet. The democracy should not forget that the laws as they exist must be execu ted. No executive officer can afford to disobey them. The President has tak en a solemn oath to obey them and see that they are faithfully cn forced. He sets tho example, and it would bo paradoxical to say, for any purpose whatever, that the President should disregard his oath and break the laws. No faithful partizan would tol erate such a course in a chief magis trate. President Cleveland took upon himself an official oath requiring the lawful and prompt discharge of all those duties imposed upon him as our chief executive officer, and for the ob servance cf which ho isanswerable to both his God and the people he governs. And it is the prido of the democracy to say that no inditement can be found against the President for violating his oath of office, or in the least degree disregarding any law he was sworn to execute. If a person dissatisfied with tho civil service laws could but place imself in the president's place, ho would see that his oath of office and duty to the government are paramount to all other considerations. No doubt the President would, could he do so, have all laws abolished which affect partisan politics; tho right to appoint or remove from office being an inherent right of the office of president: but at present he does not have that power. As it is he has but one course to pur T . . I , I 1 1 sue. in time me laws as wiey are ami about which so much is said, will all fall into the President's hands to be carried out. His day will come to nil all civil service appointments. He can neither shorten nor destroy it. r irm ness and integrity are not only prom inent characteristics of the president, but they are admired by the nation at large. He stands as a pillar of strength and 110 blasts from discontented sources can deter him from duty. He cannot ha misdirected or subdued. And it is the crlorv of tho democracy that it has this unflinching arm; this person of Absolute incorriiDtibility at the head of our national affairs. Tho president is strengthening tho democratic party daily, and no man will be so popular - . . .-. with the masses in 18S3 as urover Cleveland. Ho will then have sue cessfully passed through a great ordoa and hav been tried by the severest test partisans could invent This exper ience will show more plainly than in any other way the integrity and strength of the President. It requires great nerve to be president at this time, and no executive officer has ever shown as much of this requisite as has the chief raadstratc of this nation during the time he has been in office. If we t - 1 1 1 may ue anowea to uo so, we preuict DOUGLAS COUNTY. Country Which Rejoices in a Magnificent Climate. I NHI CEMENTS TO IIOME SEEKERS. i'lenty of Farm. Hatchet ami Promising Mine. DouHas countv is one of the Southwestern counties of the stale, and contains a population ol 12.U0; is bounded on the south by Jackson Josephine and Curry; on the west by Coos county .nd the l'acilic ocean; on me noun oy Lane coux y, ami on tne easi oy l.hc aim ackson counties. The county is 90 miles from north to south ind loo miles from east to west, extreme points, and has an irregular bonndary line formed mainly by spurs of the Cascade range and by the Siuslaw river. The county has an area of 4,000 square miles, or 2,560,000 acres. Ul tins 503,050 acres are under cultivation, and it is almost impossible to estimate the arta that can be placed under niliivatinn. Competent ludces estimate that there is at least 3oo,ooo acres still subject to entry under the United States Land Laws, some portion of which can be tilled. There is still over half of the county which is not sur veyed, much of which is practically unexplored. Of that subject to entry about ten per cent can lie easily cultivated, but is not counieu wun the tracts known as Railroad and Wagon road grants, which embrace excellent land. DHAIN. GARDINER. OAKLAND- ( irr OF lOO INHABITANTS ItOVULAS COVNIY. IN of that the great democratic party, for setting the hasty exactions a portion of it has made of tho President, will unite in the correct opinion that Gro ver Cleveland has done his duty; that he has consolidated the democracy for another grand victory and that he has earned and enjoys the reputation possessing the highest type of "spinal ity" much higher than that of any other public man. The second important depot in the county is situated on the line of the O. & C. R. R. 181 miles south of Portland and nineteen miles north of Roseburg, the county seat of the county. It is situated on the Calapooia creek and is surrounded by low hills; those on the southeast of the town are covered with oak, fir and laurel timber; the fir and laurel being evergreen, form a beautiful back ground upon which the eye can rest, and presents a pleasing contrast to the oak covered lulls on the west. It hasaiKmulation of about four hundred in habitants and is surrounded b the finest farm ing lands of any town in the county. The country around and from which the trade cen ters at this point, is a succession ol low tim bered hills with small valleys situated be tween, the valleys varying in size from three to ten sections ot land, and might be termed a "Valley ol Hills," These hills furnish a 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, bar ley and rye, and when properly cultivated will produce an average corn yield. All the different varieties of grasses grow to advantage 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 pas ture. The climate of this valley is one of the finest to be found on 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 w inters 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 little feed, if any, during the winter months. The health of this valley is proverbial; there are generally no diseases arising from malaria, and consequent ly 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 smaller pnxluce, dried fruit, pears, apples and plums, poultry of all kinds and eggs. Oakland by an act of the legislature in 1878 assumes the unity of a city by articles of incorporation passed at that session. Like nearly all small towns under similar circumstances, its inhabi tants could not stand the strain the importance of the occasion demanded and considerable lit igation followed, yet in spite of all the differ ences of opinion the town steadily improved, and it is now one of the best improved small towns to be found. Of the different businesses trades and occupations we find: HOTELS. The depot hotel kept by Richard Thomas. The Bailey hotel conducted by Smith Bailey. . ' BUSINESS HOUSES. A. F. Brown, general-merchandise, ma chinery etc. etc. E. G. Young & Co., gen eral merchandise, machinery etc. etc. . 1 he hardware store, and post ofiice by A . F Stearns and Creed Cherioweth.

THE OAKLAND MILL This mill is owned and conducted by Eu- banks & Wheeler, who are still, keeping up its reputation for the first clais article of flour made there,, the quality of which has for years been so generally known. CHURCHES. There are also three church buildings, the Methodist, Episcopal and Baptist, and are all well furnished buildings and conveniently and nicely arranged inside. Of church organiza tions there is the Northern and Southern Methodist, the Episcopalian, the baptist, the Presbyterian and the Christian: OAKLAND ACADEMY. s an institution of learning commends itself to the citizens of Douglas county. Its cur riculum of studies, the thoroughness exacted of the studies by the principal, the sleepless vigilance exercised in relation to the proper physical growth of the pupils, the great care and watchfulness by which the moral facul ties are developed and the healthy intellectual advancement made. All these essential qual- tics combined make up a licrfect development. The work of the session has also another and a very important consideration, the prac tical utility ot the daily work . Students are therefore well prepared for the duties of the counting-room, the workshop or the higher institutions of barning. Parents and guar dians will do well to consider the superior advantages of this institution of learning and patronize a scnool wnicn nas no suenor on the Pacific coast. PUBLIC SCHOOL The public school is well attended and Frof. Boccs directs with a discretion worthy the name of teacher. . SOCIETIES. Oakland Lodce No. 16 A. F. and A. M. was organized and chartered in June 1070 in what is now known as Old Town, and has al ways been a prosperous and aclivo lodr,c. Their present hall is located over Messrs. Page and Dimmick s drug stere and is one of the finest halls in southern Oregon. The membership numbers about fifty active mem bers, and tne lodge is in a prosperous condi tion. George T. Russell is the present w or- shipful Master. UMPQUA LODGE NO. 37 I. O. O. F Was organized and chartered in June 1872 in the Old Town, and is in a prosperous con dition. The present hall is over A.

This Lodge meets in the Odd Fellows hall, has forty members. E. Hartsock Master Workman. Much else minht be said in favor of this town and many others in business in various pursuits might be mentioned, tail want ot space forbids. YONCOLLA Is on the O. & C. railroad and in the midst of a beautiful valley. Seteral This place is one of the most important bus!" ness centers of the county. It is 36 miles north a e,cou.nty seat upon the - &- c R- k and 36 miles from tide-water, where steamers ply regularly. It is connected with the coast by a stage line which makes tri-weekly trips. The town site was laid out in 1872 when the railroad reached that point and 60 acres were donated to the railroad company for a town, by Chas. and J. C. Drain, for whom the place was named. Survey for a railroad has just licen completed from this point to tide-water, which action was taken by the citizens of northern Douglas, who are wide awake to their interests and full of energy. Here is situated the Drain academy and State Normal school, which is now the leading school of southern Oregon . The academy nas built in 1882 by subscriptions and placed under the supervis'on of the Metho dist church. In 1885 by act of the state legis lature, the school was incorporated and designa ted as a State Normal school. Here teachers arc trained for their work by actual practice, under the direction of the faculty and are granted a state diploma if a satisfactory examination is passed before the State Board of education. There is also a classical course taught of as high grade as in any school in the south part of the state. There are no immoral places of resort in or about the town, which renders this one ol the most desirable places for the education of the young. Already there is talk of a more elaborate building for the school which will prob ably be built the coming season, when a colle giate course will be added. At present there are about 400 inhabitants in the town. There are two organized churches the Methodist who enjoy the largest mcmlier ship of any appointment in the Co. and the Chris tians who have nearly fifty menders. Drain is one of the most desirable localities in the county for families, and those desiring church and school privileges, can not find a better place to locate. Improved lands can Ijc pur- n'woi m iciisuiiauic prices. 1 ne w. x . is.. R. Co. have for sale large tracts of unim proved lands, while there are thousands of acres of desirable government lands within fif teen miles of Drain which can be taken up by settlers under the homestead and pre-emption laws. There arc four or five townships, which have been recently surveyed, on upper Smith river which arc attracting cnnsidcrable atten tion. These lands he twelve miles north-west of Drain. In no locality in the county do the natural or tame grasses thrive so well as in this vicinityl "The Drain Echo," a weekly paper published by E. W. Kuykendall, is fully alive to the interests of its patrons, and is especially devoted to the interests of northern Douglas. There are two general merchandise stores, the one ol Jos. Cellers anil the firm of Drain & Co. Each firm carries a first-class stock Paul Schlosser supplies the peeple with hardware, tinware etc. H. M. Calwcll deals in groceries and corrections and is also W. i. & Co s. ex press agent. II. McCallister conducts a first class meat market. The postmaster is John Kuykendall who also carries on a drug and stationery store wnicn is complete in all re spects. The Occidental flouring mills are lo cated at this place bcins: owned bv Tohnrftn and Ellensburjr.' E. C. Palmer is our enter prising saw-mill man. A first-class harness store and shop is conducted by Wm. Boots & Son. A blacksmith shop is operated by Mr. Young. R. L. Shelley supplies the citizens with boots and shoes. T.. K.

Is located eight miles, nearly north of Rose burg, on the O. C. R. R. It lies in a small basin surrounded by hills and monntains, covered with oak and laurel with here and there a tall pine to relieve the monotony. A little to the west Mt. Leo reais its bald head, with a fatherly look, alwve the smaller hills at its base clad in youthful verdure. The location is good for a thriving town. It is the best outlet for Garden Valley and Yoncolla beside the large territory to the cast and north. ; During the last year the town has made con siderable improvement. The residence of Mr. Loomis, nearly completed, would be an orna ment to any town. Mr. Thompson Grubbc has erected two neat cottages for rent lioth of which are occupied. The academy has been painted within and without and a wood house built. There have been other minor improve ments. All the houses in town are filled and there is a demand for more. There will prob ably be several cottages erected the coming summer to-supply this want. G. W. Grubbe, our general utility man, still holds forth at the store, where can lie found a stock of all kinds of merchandise, and an efficient clerk lo attend to the wants of those who call.

At an early day Umpqua academy was located here and its graduates and old students are scattered all over Oregon. The town being free from saloons and all loafing places renders it a desirable place to send young men and women hist coi"K out from the influence of home. The young people are allowed to min gle together and obtain the refinement that can be gained in no other way, but their tohavior is regulated by well dehncd rules and regula tions. The principal, L. A. Edwards, is a gradute of OWrlin college, Oberlin Ohio, a col lege second to none m the United Stales . Since graduating Prof. Edwards has had successful experience iu some of the best high schools and academics of the land. The principal has al ready by hard work and by thoroughly under standing his business given to Umpqua acade my a boom similar to that by his brother Prof. D. L.

PATTEKSON'S MILL' Is east from Roseburg about 16 miles whera they make some excellent lumber, and have e post office. ' PERDUE Is a place in the Cascade range in a southeast' erly direction from Roseburg. and is only a post otnee. On October 1, 1S86, 1 took the Irain at Roseburg for a trip to the east. I left the beautiful little city of Roseburg enveloped in a fog, the Umpqua river nearly dry and a dead lethargy hanging over the place of whose fu ture little was predicted in a business way. Its streets were muddy and out of repair, it seemed a very unpromising place to me the day I took the slow going train for Portland when I paid $S to ride two hundred miles. My stay in the cast was protracted, but finally, on the death of a wealthy aunt. I was left with an " income of ten thousand dollars a yi-ar and determined once more lo visit the Pacific coast and Roseburg, the home of my childhood. This place was then growini? fa mous for its manufacturing interests, coal mines, and numerous other industries. It was a warm sultry morning on the oth dav of Sept. 1901, that I left New York, on the limited express, and coming by way of Chicago, Cheyenne and Eagle Rock to Boise City, thence by the Crater lake and Coos Bay rail road in four days I was landed in 11-se burg. The handsomely uniformed con ductor cried "Roseburg! Through passengers remain seated; passengers for Portland, Van couver and Sitka take the train on the north; for San Francisco and southern noints the train on the south." Hearing these words my mind was licwildered, a railroad lo Sitka, Alaska and the U. it C. R. R. completed! Rousing myself from iny seat'iu the luxurous parlor car, I alighted and found myself in an immense granite depot, twenty tracks running through it, uninformed railway officials direct ing the people whither they desired to go. 1'inally reaching the wailing room I inuuired if this could possibly lc the city of Roseburg. The official was courtly and pleasant with a genial face and appeared very busy t Twenty five years had made a change, yet I thought I recognized the face of the official, and ven tured to ask how long he liad been there. He replied, "ror thirty-live years, my naue is Williams,, known as Johnny Williams. I was station agent here when the station consisted of a i5x2Q foot building, when one track could carry more than all the traffic offered and Roseburg was a town of 1000 inhabitants. I then asked him if he rcincmljcred a Jack Pow ers wiio had lived there twenty-five years ago. tic saio. es, 1 ioiu mm i was ttie man and he grasped me w armly by the hand and wel comed me warmly home again . I was invi ted into his private office. Passing through numerous offices filled with many busy clerks, 1 found myself in las luxuriously furnished room. Sit down and I'll tell you of my doings since I last saw you. When you left twenty five years ago I was about entering on liiy new project as a granger. Having established a l'rohi. colony, which rapidly grew and prospered, and I was contented. So many disscnlions among the "Prohis" for ofiice arose however that the colony broke up and each one looked out once more for himself alone. Uixin the completion of the Crater lake and Coos bay R. R. I was offered the charge of the depot, accepted it, and here you find me not hard worked as in days gone by but enjoy ing inc. 1 a.skca lor a Hotel, when he touched an electric bell, his colored waiter came and I was shown to his private carriage and driven to the Grand Pacific hotel. I was surprised at its grandeur, occupying as it did the whole block, where Dr. Hoovers residence was in days gone by. I walked a stranger where once 1 knew every one and was known. I looked upon the unfamiliar faces and longed for the sight of one I had once known. The once quiet town was now changed into a live, bustling city. Dray wagons, handsome car nages etc., rapidly passed the hotel. I de cided to take a stroll determined once more if possible to grasp tho hand of an old friend and find some familiar land mark. None ap peared, I slopped in front of a large handsome building and found it was the post office, mak ing my way tnroughl the throng of people to the postmaster's private office I found lames Cawlfield Esq., a courtly and pleasant gen tleman as postmaster. He failed to remem ber me, but asking about the prominent bus ness houses he informed me that Asher Marks & Co., hail their place not a block away. I betook myself thither and found a massive, five story iron front building immense in its pn portions. It was with difficulty I found the head of the firm; twenty five years had made a change in him, yet his countenance was as genial and kindly as ever. He glanced at my card and recognition beamed upon his face and his grasp of my hand was the same old cordial grip as of yore. In reply to my query as to how all this wonderful change had been accomplished he said, "In Ihe winter of 86-87 a fire broke out in the frame houses below mv then humble store, and rapidly swept the town. If the citizens had raised Sioco for water works as had been suggested a few months previously, .tins catastrophe would have been averted, fter this terrible fire, in which the greatest sufftyers were the men who relused to give the watir works their aid, it appearedNis though tlfc town would he a thing of the pTretT") Easttrn capitalists, how ever, examined nit waucr power, prospective railways etc., and Started a woolen mill where the grove used to be. They now employ icoo 111L-11, uoys uuu 1 nis was tne start. The city began to grow, streets were widened, and Jackson street is now 100 feet wide.

Instead of a close non-progressive manner of conducting the cities finances, sound liberal disbursements were made." Here a gentleman entered and was introduced as Bishop J. R. N. Bell formerly editor of the Morning Review. Old acquaintanceship was renewed and he pro posed showing me the rounds. The land office was visited but business there was very slow as all the. desirable land for settlers was taken and it was thought the office would be closed in about a yearj A gentlemen from the Lialles was in charge. The U. S. signal office was visited, the officer in charge was busy, so also were his three assistants. Nu merous mctcorlogical self registering instru mcnts filled the room. No change in the weather fo? the next forty-eight hours was re ported. v e turned our steps then to the U S. banded warehouse and custom house from thence to the police court where his honor police judge C. Ball presided. The usual drunks disorderlies etc, disposed of. A murderer was then tried being ablv de fended by the Hon. Layfayette Lane the most noted criminal lawyer of the coast. His brilliant speeches and quick and searching questions lo the witnesses were listened to in breathless silence, r rom there we went to the countv court house, a fine brown stone build ing and in its rear were the massive walk sur rounding the jail. Being interested in churches Bishop Bell first showed me the handsome cathedral and near this upon a rise of ground where the old Roseburg reservoir was dug. a large weil fitted and pleasantly surrounded building which he informed me was the Cen tral II igh school . II a ving formcrl y been in terested very much in the school question, he informed me with pride of tlie increasing interest the people had taken in this question. The result being twelve well appointed schools. He referred to the old wooden school building which was the only one when I resided there. The people got over their meagre allowances' for school property after many children has suffered from the want of room and over crowding and several have been badly hurt by ils partly falling to pieces one day. Now upon the old site, the gift of the generous doner ana lounder of the city Aaron Kose, a large uricK winding stood. The re maining important churches were mentioned and their: spires pointed out. The "St George s Episcopal church was the leading one ia the place bolh wealth and in number of communicants. It occupied the same ground mai iuc numoie irame DuiKling aid twenty- five years ago.

Alter graduating from the high school a normal School supported by the. school board was oicn for those desiring to become teachers. More were then graduated from the normal than could be accommodated and only grad uates from this school were eligible for teach ers. The streets wtre all well graded and in.the dry season were washed every morning by opening the fire plugs and allowing the water to rush out. The reservoir was situated upon the summit of Mt. Nebo, and there is sufficient force to throw water over the high est buildings. Beautiful parks surrounded the city and some within it of from five to ten acres. The ohce system of the city was mentioned as first class and I was introduced to a portly gentleman as he" met us, who turned out to be Chief Lnngcnberg of the force. He has the reputation of being a very concientious chief and has his force under splendid discipline. I asked after Mr. Walter Hamilton as I had looked in vain for his drug ' store, but was informed that he had left the retail business and at picsent had the largest wholesale bouc in that line on the coast. The bishop then with a lurking smile told me that the city !xasled four military companies. Company A. being under the command of Capt. Flint, and was said to be the finest on the coast. Its medals and prucs ljeing many for proficiency in drill maneuvers and marks manship. There was also - an - armory a fine two story brick building. I rememberd an effort made twenty -five years ago to organize a company but which had been defeated by the old cry of economy. But was. (old that the necessity for a company was felt during a time of riots ami strikes among the thousands of workingmen. At which time over a million dollars worth of property had been destroyed and the county had been obliged to pay the damages.
