That followed the 1856 annexation of Camas Valley from Coos County. Further boundary adjustments were made with Jackson and Lane counties in 1915. Today, Douglas County covers 5,071 square miles. It’s bordered by six counties

— Lane County to the north, Jackson, Josephine and Curry counties to the south, Coos County to the west and Klamath County to the east. Winchester was the original county seat of Douglas County, but only held that distinction for two years. Residents later voted to move the seat in Continued on page 7

Continued from page 6 1854 to Deer Creek, which, a year later, was renamed Roseburg after Aaron Rose. Douglas County originally operated under a county court, featuring a county judge and two commissioners. The current system of three commissioners with equal authority was adopted in 1965. In 2008, commissioners begun to be elected on a nonpartisan basis. Previously, they were elected by party or candidates could run as nonaffiliated. Besides the three commissioners, who are elected by voters throughout the county, Douglas County also has an elected sheriff, district attorney, clerk, assessor, treasurer and surveyor.

Welcome Marty Ray... ...as the new Branch Manager of SOFCU Community Credit Union in Roseburg and North Bend. Marty hails from Auburn, California, where he worked as a loan officer specializing in real estate financing for twenty five years. When asked why he chose to come to work for SOFCU, Marty’s answer was easy and quick. He agrees with how SOFCU operates and believes in their philosophy that “members come first”. Marty grew up in Grants Pass. In fact, he got his first experience with SOFCU by pulling their weeds as a teenager. His passion for Credit Unions and what they represent has only increased over the years. As Marty puts it, “Members own the Credit Union, so they actually have a say in how the business is operated. It’s as though you are coming to a family member for your financial needs.” The Roseburg Branch of SOFCU has 8000 members. Marty’s goal is to grow membership equal to the Grants Pass Branch. Marty enjoys spending his free time with his family. He is looking forward to the day when his wife and two children join him in Douglas County. SOFCU lobby hours: Monday & Friday 9AM - 6PM, Tuesday - Thursday 10AM - 5PM Drive thru Monday - Friday 7AM - 7PM 1771 N.E. Stephens - 673-6613

ROSEBURG Population: 21,235 (July 2008 estimate, Population Research Center at Portland State University)

N

estled in the heart of Douglas County, Roseburg has dubbed itself The Timber Capital of the Nation, and serves as the gateway to the Douglas fir-lined North Umpqua River and Crater Lake National Park via Highway 138, which heads east from town. The regional hub as well as Douglas County seat attracts locals and tourists alike to its cultural events and riverside parks, as well as the Douglas County Fair and summer concert series Music on the Half Shell, which lure big-name performers. The South Umpqua River winds through the heart of Roseburg, meeting up with the North Umpqua just northwest of town. The city of 21,235 is the area’s retail and home improvement destination and boasts restaurants with international cuisine from Chinese and Italian to Greek, Mexican and Japanese. Located just off of Interstate 5, Roseburg is 72 miles south of Eugene, and 124 miles north of the California border. It rests amid some of the world’s richest timber land, and became a major lumber producer during the post-World War II housing boom. At the timber industry’s height, 278 mills operated in Douglas County. First visited by white settlers and gold seekers in the 1840s, the town was platted as Deer Creek by New Yorker Aaron Rose

Scott. A historical marker on the west side of the Douglas County Courthouse commemorates and describes this wagon trail, also called the Old South Road. Mount Nebo, named after the mountain that Moses stood atop to view the promised land, overlooks the city and Garden Valley. Pioneers believed this aptly described the high ground in the bend of the South Umpqua River that proves a spectacular viewpoint. Roseburg abounds with historical homes and landmarks, but many spots were irreparably damaged or destroyed during a 1959 explosion downtown that leveled businesses, killed 14 people, injured more

than 100 others and caused $10 million in damage. The Blast, as it’s known, was the third-most deadly disaster in Oregon history, and today is the subject of seasonal walking tours. In spite of adversity, the city has managed to maintain many historical buildings, including the neoclassical Douglas County Courthouse at 1036 S.E. Douglas Ave. The structure was built in a space city founder Aaron Rose donated in the 1850s for use as a public square. In 1955, rectangular additions were made to each end of the original 1929 structure. The Mill-Pine neighborhood was Roseburg’s first nationally registered historic Continued on page 24

district, commemorating the community’s railroad workers of the late 19th century. The housing development grew after the first steam locomotives arrived in Roseburg in 1872. The railroad established a roundhouse, repair yard, warehouses and an office until the division headquarters and shops were moved to Eugene. The former Southern Pacific Railroad Depot at 705 S.E. Sheridan St. was the third to serve Roseburg. It is now a micro-

brewery operated by McMenamins of Portland. The coming of the railroad was vital to communities along the north-south transportation route and Roseburg was a major railroad center until 1927. Passenger service was terminated in 1951. A railroad switchyard lies at the south end of town that is operated by a freight line, the Central Oregon Pacific & Pacific Railroad. The railroad offices are at 333 S.E. Mosher Ave. Historical homes in the downtown Continued on page 25

district are echoes of a not-so-distant past when timber barons and respected doctors, lawyers and politicians built opulent monuments to their success. The elaborately decorated three-story, Queen Anne-style Moses Parrott house at 1772 S.E. Jackson St. is a vivid reminder of this. Parrott, a shoemaker, came to this area with his wife, Tennessee, in the early 1850s. Today, the home is privately owned. No tours are given, but it can be viewed easily from Stephens Street. The Floed-Lane house at 544 S.E. Douglas Ave. is more commonly known as the Joseph Lane House and is the only surviving structure associated with this pioneer soldier and statesman. Lane was a commissioned brigadier general during the Mexican War. He was the Oregon Territory’s delegate to Congress from 1851 to 1859 and was the state’s first U.S. senator from 1859 to 1861. In 1860 he was the Southern Democratic candidate for vice president. The home was owned by Lane’s daughter and son-in-law, John and Emily Floed, and

built between 1866-76. Lane lived nearby during his final years and spent much of his time with his daughter. The Floed-Lane House is maintained by the Douglas County Historical Society. Hours are 1 to 4 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays or by appointment. Admission is free but donations are accepted. Today, Roseburg also has two cinemas, theaters, book stores, coffee houses and numerous restaurants. ROSEBURG INFORMATION Mayor Larry Rich City Recorder: Sheila Cox City Hall: 900 S.E.

HUNTING

Plenty of game to be had in Douglas County CRAIG REED The News-Review

F

rom deer to turkeys, the call of the wild is strong in Douglas County. The area’s hills, rivers and deep woods offer excellent opportunities for sportsmen during respective hunting seasons. “Douglas County has some of the best, most diverse habitat in the state,” Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife Southwest Region manager Steve Denney said. “Virtually every corner of the county provides habitat for some wildlife species.” People interested in the hunting and fishing available in Douglas County are encouraged to obtain Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife fishing synopses and the big game and game bird regulations to check dates, boundaries and regulations. These are available at the ODFW office at 4192 North Umpqua Highway, Roseburg, or at counters in stores where sporting goods are sold. GAME Douglas County is one of the best counties in Oregon for hunting black-tailed bucks. The deer

HUNTING/FISHING Continued from page 37 are found almost everywhere in the county. Numbers are higher on agricultural land and on 5- to 20-year-old harvested units in the forests. Roosevelt elk live throughout the county. They feed in new clearcut areas and use more mature timber for cover and shelter. The first day or two of elk hunting seasons is traditionally most successful. After this time, the animals usually move to the thickest cover they can find. The best population of black bears in Douglas County is in the Coast Range around berry patches and old orchards. The next best place to find bears is in the lower Cascades. Douglas County has some of the highest densities of cougars recorded in the United States. These big cats are primarily found in good elk and deer habitat since these animals are their favorite foods. A portion of the Umpqua Valley and surrounding foothills is open for cougar hunting all year with the appropriate tag. Douglas County also is home to many other species including coyotes, bobcats, raccoons, silver gray squirrels, beaver, otter and muskrats. Very few of these animals are hunted by the general public but they are pursued by trappers. Silver gray squirrels are not legal to trap, but are legal to hunt. Trapping regulations are available at the regional ODFW office in Roseburg or are available on the Internet at http://www.dfw.state.or.us/. FOWL Turkeys were introduced to this area many years ago. The county’s turkey population has expanded into the largest in the state. There are now two turkey hunting seasons in Douglas County — in the fall and spring. Turkeys are scattered throughout the county. Much of their habitat is on private land, so it is always a good idea to obtain permission from landowners before hunting season begins. Other game birds in the county are mountain

Brushy hillsides, creek bottoms, springs and clearcut areas provide homes for the mountain quail. Douglas County has good populations of the bird. Valley quail are found in agricultural areas on the valley floor. Most of their habitat is private property, so permission is needed to hunt. Blue grouse are found primarily in higher-elevation forests where they spend a lot of time near berry patches and on the edges of clearcuts. They also spend some time in old-growth timber stands. Creek and river bottoms, springs and other moist areas are popular home sites for ruffed grouse. Weather and migration dictate whether bandtailed pigeons will be found in Douglas County during the hunting season. The birds frequent forests around mineral springs through summer and early autumn. After the first warm rains fall, the birds move to berry patches and when cooler rains hit, the pigeons begin their migration to

During a cool fall, the birds will migrate quickly and hunting opportunities will be curtailed. Like bandtails, mourning doves can be found in good numbers in Douglas County whenever there’s a long, warm fall. Douglas County is not a major population center for ducks, but there are small populations of wood ducks, mallards and a growing winter population of wigeons. Those birds are found primarily along rivers and at ponds on the valley floor. Most ducks are found on private land, so permission is needed to hunt them. Canada geese were brought into Douglas County several years ago and the population has expanded dramatically. They are found primarily along rivers and livestock pastures and most hunting is done with decoys. Geese are usually found on private property, so hunters are reminded to check with landowners for permission to hunt.

FISHING Anglers in Douglas County are rarely hard up for a place to fish throughout the year. There is usually a fishery on the bite in the county’s waterways. Area rivers and lakes have a national reputation for providing angler enjoyment. The spring chinook are one of the most abundant fish in the Umpqua. The salmon enter the Umpqua River from March through June, hold in deep pools during July and August and spawn in September and October. A springer caught in the main Umpqua earlier this year weighed 49 pounds, but the average spring salmon is 20 to 25 pounds. The South Umpqua River, the mainstem Umpqua and the Smith River contain most of the fall chinook. When fall rains increase the water level and cool the water temperature, the fish begin a quick migration upstream.

ROSEBURG’S PREMIER NEIGHBORHOOD Surrounded by the beauty of nature Conveniently located just minutes from town 1 888-8 LEMB CO

Fall chinook enter the Umpqua estuary in August and migrate into October. The South Umpqua is closed to fall chinook angling, but the main stem Umpqua River and Smith River estuary provide excellent angling opportunities. The summer steelhead run is composed of both wild and hatchery fish. The best fishing for summer steelhead is from June to October. They average 6 to 8 pounds in size. Fly-fishing for summer steelhead is popular on the North Umpqua, especially in the 33 miles of flyangling-only water from Rock Creek upriver to Soda Springs Dam. Winter steelhead are present in the North, South Umpqua and main stem Umpqua rivers and in the Smith River. They begin their migration from the ocean in November. January through March are the best fishing months. The North Umpqua and Smith River have healthy runs of wild winter steelhead. The South Umpqua has both wild and hatchery runs. The total steelhead run is estimated to be more than 25,000 fish in the Umpqua Basin during most years. A large North Umpqua wild fish can weigh in at more than 20 pounds. The South Umpqua fish average 7 to 10 pounds. All wild winter steelhead must be released. Coho, also known as silvers, are found throughout the Umpqua River system. An adult Umpqua Basin coho averages 10 pounds. Hatchery coho are available for harvest from August to November. Rainbow trout is the species of trout most commonly stocked in the Umpqua River system. The reservoirs are stocked annually with about 30,000 hatchery rainbow trout of legal size (8 to 12 inches) just prior to spring vacation in March. Fish stocking continues into June and again in late August. Best trout fishing is in early spring, beginning in March and lasting through May when the fish are actively feeding. The best bait is salmon eggs, worms or small flies that match whatever is hatching on shore at the time. Lures also can

DRAIN Population: 1,080 (July 2008 estimate, Population Research Center at Portland State University) Drain, about 45 miles north of Roseburg, was named for pioneer Charles Drain, who took up a donation land claim there. The town was first called Drain after the Oregon & California Railroad planned to establish a station there in 1870. The home of Charles Drain Jr., a Queen Anne-style house built in 1893 called The Castle, still stands and serves as a tourist attraction. Other tourist attractions include the Pass Creek covered bridge behind the Civic Center, and other Victorian houses. Dining fare includes La Pinata, Gateway Inn, the Reel Sportsman Pizzeria, the Toad Belly Deli and the Rose Garden Inn. Drain is also home to the only public outdoor swimming pool in North Douglas County.

WILBUR Unincorporated town Nine miles north of Roseburg, the town was home to the Methodist Umpqua Academy. Named for pioneer preacher James H. Wilbur, the town was established in 1853. Wilbur came to Oregon via South America’s Cape Horn in 1847, and was instrumental in establishing several educational institutions including the Umpqua Academy, which taught most of the noted politicians, businessmen, doctors and lawyers of southern Oregon’s early days. A stone marker from an early Academy building stands in front of the Wilbur Methodist Church. The church and its nearby parsonage are in the National Register of Historic Places.

Its major landmark is the Booth Bridge, which was built in 1924 to connect the banks of the North Umpqua River. The bridge recently underwent a $9.9-million widening project. The bridge was closed for nine months; it reopened in March 2008. The town is also home to Umpqua Community College, an accredited school that offers a wide range of studies and disciplines and seasonal activities, including the summer musical and an outdoor swimming pool.

WEST COUNTY WESTERN DOUGLAS COUNTY ELKTON Population: 200 (City of Elkton official Web site, Sept. 17, 2009) The town, named in 1850 for its proximity to Elk Creek, is located about 27 miles west of Sutherlin on Highway 138. One of the earliest areas in Douglas County to be settled by Europeans, it is the site of Fort Umpqua, one of several Hudson’s Bay Co. fur trading establishments. A sign posted on the west side of the highway features a composite of the post sketched in 1841 by Lt. George Simmons of the U.S. South Seas and Surveying Expedition. A replica of the fort was recently constructed at the Elkton Community Education Center, one of the city’s crown jewels. The Center also has a small amphitheater, a butterfly pavilion that attracts migratory butterflies and a garden with native Oregon plants. Another new addition to the town is the Alfred S. Tyson Park, located at 640 River Road, Elkton. It is complete with boat ramp, picnic tables and public restrooms. Elkton also features a general store, several restaurants and four wineries. Of special interest: Arlene’s, famous for its logger burgers; Tomaselli’s Pastry Mill and Cafe, known for its bakery items; Man Bites Dog, a drive-up eatery that serves Chicago-style hot dogs; Brandborg Winery and River’s Edge Winery are within Elkton city limits; Bradley’s Winery and Anindor’s Winery are just outside of town. River’s Edge Winery specializes in Pinot Noir wines grown in LIVE certified and sustainable conditions, which focuses on erosion prevention and minimal environmental impact. This winery has also recently installed solar panels, and now requires only one-third of its electricity from a local provider.

GARDINER Unincorporated town The tiny community located just north of Reedsport on Highway 101 was once a logging and mill town. Historic homes and a small, hillside cemetery hint at its rich history. It was in Gardiner that the Jedediah Smith expedition was attacked by the Lower Umpqua Indians in 1828, with deadly results. Originally called Gardiner City the town was named for a Boston merchant whose trade ship was wrecked in 1850 at the mouth of the Umpqua. The goods and ship timbers were salvaged and moved 9 miles upstream, where the first building was constructed to house the trade goods. The site served as a headquarters for the Umpqua customs district in 1851, with Colin Wilson as collector. Some years later, the Gardiner Mill Company continued the growth of the area with a new sawmill and town lots. About three miles north of Reedsport, off Highway 101, a landmark is dedicated to the Gardiner Mill Store and pays homage to a business that played an important role in the lives of the people living on the coast for many years. The building was razed in 1974. Gardiner information Post Office: 77251 Hwy. 101, Gardiner, OR 97441; (541) 271-2313 Schools: Reedsport School District

KELLOGG Unincorporated town Located west of Sutherlin on Highway 138 on the main stem of the Umpqua River, the area was named for brothers Lyman and Adna Kellogg.

LOON LAKE Unincorporated town Located roughly 18 miles west of Elkton and 15 miles east-southeast of Reedsport, the lake was discovered by an exploring expedition in 1852. It is about .5 mile wide and two miles long. Parts of it are more than 200 feet deep. The lake was originally formed hundreds of years ago by a landslide of huge boulders across a deep river canyon. Today the area is known for its Largemouth Bass, Trout, and other fishing opportunities, and features a boat launch and a lodge with restaurant, store and lounge. Loon Lake Lodge (541) 599-2244 REEDSPORT Population: 5,000 In the heart of the Oregon Dunes Recreation Area on Highway 101, Reedsport is near the mouth of the Umpqua River. It was named in 1919 after pioneer, prominent businessman and state lawmaker Alfred W. Reed. The Umpqua Discovery Center offers information on the pioneer and logging history of the central coast, as well as the three American Indian tribes that originally lived there. The Umpqua River Bridge is one of several beautiful landmarks along the coast. The 2,213-foot structure has a center swing span that connects Bolon Island and the south bank of the Umpqua. Built between 1934 and 1936 as part of the state’s coastal highway system, it also has four arches in addition to a concrete viaduct. Reedsport offers a wide variety of cuisine. The most impressive part of the city is perhaps its accessibility to dunes that serve the recreational needs of a wide variety of users, including hikers, photographers and offroad vehicle enthusiasts.

GLENDALE Population: 955 (July 2008 estimate, Population Research Center at Portland State University) In the early 1850s settlers began to spill into the Cow Creek watershed, but it wasn’t until the 1880s that the Glendale townsite was plotted after the railroad was extended from Roseburg. The town was originally called Julia for settler Julia Abraham. A dispute over ownership resulted in the name change. The origin of the name Glendale is unclear, but lore suggests a resident from the Scottish glens may have had a hand in it. The town’s first sawmill was constructed in 1882 by Sol Abraham, who supplied timber for railroad construction. Today the rural community boasts restaurants, a gas station, a grocery store and the Village Inn Tavern & Restaurant, which celebrates the community’s milling past with a giant saw blade protruding from its side.

HUNTING/FISHING Continued from page 39 bring success. Anglers should check sport angling regulations to determine fishing gear restrictions. Cutthroat trout are found throughout the entire Umpqua Basin. The average size of the resident adult is 6 to 8 inches, while those cutthroat that migrate to the ocean and then return upriver average 16 inches. The uppermost section of the North Umpqua and Lemolo and Toketee reservoirs are home to brown trout. The average size of an adult brown is 10 to 14 inches, but some grow into the 20-inch range. A good population of brook trout exists in the Clearwater River, a tributary of the upper North Umpqua River, near Toketee. Thirteen high lakes are stocked with brook trout and provide fish in the 8- to 12-inch range. The best concentration of smallmouth bass is in the main Umpqua River from Elkton to the forks of the North and South Umpqua, and from the lower South Umpqua near Roseburg to Canyonville. The fish’s average size is 7-10 inches. Smallmouth bass live near rock structures and ledges, which provide protection. Largemouth bass are concentrated in numerous ponds and valley lakes and reservoirs or in such secondary habitats as sloughs off the main Umpqua. These fish average over 2 pounds in the

Striped bass roam continuously from fresh water to salt water and back in the main Umpqua and lower Smith River. Striper fishing is best during the spring months. Shad are an excellent sport fish with light gear, small spinners, jigs and flies providing the most success. The main fishery for sport fishermen is from River Forks Park on the Umpqua downriver to Sawyers Rapids during May and June. Other warm water species like bluegill, crappie and green sunfish are plentiful in most reservoirs and ponds.
