Roseburg review. [volume] (Roseburg, Or.) 1885-1920, 1886-12-24
GARDINER.

Is a seaport town on the Umpqua river
about miles from the ocean beach. This
town of 200 inhabitants or more is lively, en-
ergetic place. Much business is transacted
here, but most of it is tributary to California
commerce. The railroad project from Drain
10 this point would save all this traffic to our
state, The educational and religious status Of
Gardiner will bear comparison with any other
town 10 its size in 'these parts" Much might
be said of the hospitality of its citizens, the
beauty of its location its healthfuness, flor the
doctor would starve, were it not for accidents)
and many other pleasing features belong to
this beautiful little city down by the sounding
sea, "where the seagull cIIes, and is rocked
to the rhythm Of its roar, and then, the echo is
gone and dies. The business of Gardiner
might be briefly sumed up as follows; the
Gardiner Mill Co. is doing an extensive bust
ness, and runs the saw mill with capacity of
$4,000 feet Of lumber per day. They also
have 4 store capable Of supplying all the wants
of their employees. Capt. Leeds has general
merchandise establishment, and does fully his
share of business. DR.. Mackey owns the city
drug store, and keeps full line, and as a
physician and pharmacist he is at the head of his
profession. He is also post master and handles
the mail for "Uncle SAM" Harry Wades'
hotel is the place to satisfy the most epicurean
appetite, for we tried it, and know whereof
we speak. AL. Reeds salmon cannery does a
fine business during the salmcn season. Many
other items Of business, and business places
might be mentioned but we have not space Ia
spare for this number.
