Cottage Grove and Vicinity.
Cottage Grove is a beautiful city
lying in the central part of Oregon.
It is by the Southern Pacific rail
road. I f it was not by the railroad
it would not be so popular or so
well known in the state.
It is situated on both sides of the
Willamette river, which affords
waterpower for any kind of plant.
The steam power is not used so
very much in this part of the coun
try, because they can run by water
power cheaper than by steam.
This beautiful city is surrounded
by a rich body of land, and average
all things planted or sown, the
owners realizes a fair profit for their
services.
Fruit and small bushes or berry
vines are also raised iu this part of
the country, but even iu town, peo
ple have small fruit vines of their
own, on account the price of rai sing
this fruit is high, therefore the
people that have this to sell realize
a good sum.
Fruit is raised in large quantities
and they find their market, in large
cities, on account the people .here
cannot use it. Soma of the finest
fruit is raised here, and take the
prizes, at the fair.
Gardening is another good oc
cupation, which enables a poor
man to make a comfortable living
which is a good thing. Every
little plot of land is put into good
use, to bring good profits.
Poultry business will bring good
results, if tended to right. Next
year people will have to raise more
on account ot the Lewis and
Clark Exposition, and lots of
people will be seeking new homes,
and inquiring about this place, and
the place wants to be perfect in ev
ery respect.
The Lewis and Clark Exposition,
will not only make Portland grow,
but will make some of the smaller
towns that has the right kind of
people in it, and every city will
grow ioo per cent or more in one
year than it has in the past three
or four years.
A great thing for Cottage Grove
is the Bohemia gold mines, which
are situated about thirty-five miles
from city. A company was formed
two or three years to build a rail
road to these valuable mines, and
road is not quite finished, but the
railroad is running now every day
as far as the railroad is finished.
When finished Bohemia will be re
garded, a leading mining district,
because if everything had to be
hauled out by teams, it would cost
more, to haul out ore. than by the
railroad.
N ext comes the Blackbutte cin
nabar mines which are of great im
portance to this city. They are
eighteen miles from Cottage Grove.
These mines furnishes, all the
quicksilver around here, that I
know of. These mines are the
only mines of this kind around
here.
One of the most important in
dustry is lumbering. Many saw
mills are found in this part of tbe
country, more people, being em -
ployed in this kind of business, be
cause, it is the chief occupation.
One sawmill is located in the east
part of town which give employ
