SMITH RIVER CORNERS
Most .Northern Town in California, the Center of an
Extensive Dairy District, Edge of Redwood Timber,
and Outlet of Copper and Chrome Mines.
SMITH RIVER CORNERS, Oct 28.
(Special correspondence.) "Smith River
Corners," or "Smith River," or "The Cor
ners," which shall we call It? The name
Smith River -belongs to a large stream
which flows for a distance of 40 miles
through Del Norte County and empties
Into the Pacific Ocean four miles west
of here, and about 12 miles from Chetco
Harbor, In Oregon. It is confusing to
have the town and the river with the
same name. "The Corners" is a name
given to the town years ago when a
' blacksmith shop was the only business
"house, and it was located in the corner
of the farm of Mr. Becksted opposite
vhere "VVeMbrook's store now atanda
There seems to be a sentiment among the
residents here against the name "The
Corners." To call it "Smith River Cor
ners" makes the name too long for both
speaking and writing. Why not get a
new name? It might be named "Red
woods," "Del Norte," "Cove," or some
other short name, ind in ordqr to se
cure a change it is only necessary to pe
tition the Postofflco Department to adopt
a. new name for the postofflce: or else In
corporate the town. This is an age of
progress, of inventions and economical
methods of conducting business, and a
name convenient to the public would mark
a rev era in its history.
Itlcli Itexonrccs Dormant.
Smith River Corners has a population
or acout 3&0. and at present depends upon
being the distributing center of the dairy
district embraced in the rich pasture
lands In Smith River Valley, where are
two large creameries and a doen
or so dairies, and where over 2000
cows are daily milked. Even If this were
the only resource of Smith River Cor
ners, it would always be a thriving town,
end grow with the settlement of the
country. But it has other valuable re
sources lying dormant which, when de
veloped through the investment here of
capital, will cause It to grow by leaps and
bounds and become a city of no small
importance. In this line I shall briefly
outline the effects upon the towa of the
lumbering of redwood, from the forests
which almost touch its boundaries; of the
opening up of the Low Divide copper and
chrome mines, only nine miles distant;'
of placing the salmon fishery at the
mouth of Smith River and along the river
in the hands of men who will so conduct
It as to restore ita productiveness of 35
years ago; and of bringing the waters of
Smith River out on the hillside, back of
town and developing several thousand
electric horsepower, which could be trans
mitted all over the valley.
To secure the development of these re
sources, now lying dormant, will require
the combined and united efforts of the
present residents of Smith River Corners,
and plans sho.uld be formulated for invit
ing men of capital to take hold of enter
prises in such a way as to be not only
a success financially, but also a benefit
locally. If the people are satisfied with
seeing built a sawmill four or five miles
from town and make no effort to have
it located nearer; or are Indifferent when
the copper mines are opened and a rail
road is built to some other point for trans
porting the ore; and again are content
to do nothing towards obtaining facts and
figures showing the cost and possible
profits of a water power from Smith River
at Smith River Corqers, then the town
will in the future have nothing more to I
depend upon for prosperity than It has at
present.
Opening; for Capital.
The residents of Smith River Corners
are not wealthy.- in fact the men who
operate the dairies ore the men of wealth,
but they are up-to-date, enterprising citi
zens, and will take a pride in doing a
part in advancing the Interests of the
town where they live, and where many of
the dairymen reside and act in co-opcra-tlon
to benefit the town.
In seeking to show up some of the un
developed resources I do so more particu
larly , to attract men who have capital
to come and Investigate than with any
idea that the hints thrown out will bear
any fruit among revsidents here, and yet
I may be mistaken, and within a very
few months (particularly if there be posi
tive assurance that a railroad will soon
be built down the coast; or Crescent City
or Chetco Karbor be Improved) these peo
ple will begin taking active hold of en
terprises and using local capital and
local credit. The Banner and Crescent
creameries here are examples of success
ful investment of local capital, the stock
holders being dairymen all over the val
ley, and they are making money right
along. Again, some may say the ideas
suggested arc a .long way in advance of
the demands of the town and country.
Of course they are. Does not the mer
chant anticipate a demand when he buys
a large stock of goods, and does not the
farmer anticipate a demand when he puts
In a large crop? It takes time to get capT
Jtal to take hold of any enterprise, and
everything must have a beginning. It Is
only of late ycara that dairying has beer,
carried on here In creameries, and yet
-that Is the principal industry now Jn. and
around Smith River Corners.
The first business house erected here
was the blacksmith shop already men
tioned, which was conducted by Mr. Ad
ams. Then followed a merchandise store
owned by Anthony,. Van Pelt and Smith.
The next was a cooper shop for making
butter kegs to supply the farmers. Quite
a large flouring mill was built and run
for years, propelled by water power from
a branch of Rowdy Creole, which flows
through the town, and in Winter is a
stream of considerable volume. The ad-
lng flour ruined the trade of the mill, and
it has not run for years, but stands .a. a
relic of old-time methods pf manufac
ture. There Is not a flouring or a chop
ping mill in all Del Norte County. A
small sawmill was built by Anthony and
Van Pelt In 1S65. near Rowdy Creek for
local, demands. After running a few years
the .engines, boilers and machinery were
moved to Chetco River, where the' mill
Is npw. Later on Measrs. Westbrook,
Bumhoff and Kume built a sawmill of
about 50.000 feet capacity at the mouth
.of Snilth RIvrr about three miles from
Smith River Corners, and a logging rail
road was built four miles across the
valley to the foothills on the redwood
belt and the loj.3 were- taken to the mill
by rail. Small vcraols came in the mouth
of Smith River for several years, and
the lumber was shipped. The harbor was
not the very best at any time, and when
the river broke through one Winter rind
changed its course into the ocean, Mr.
Hume clo?ed the mill, and It has .not since
been operated.
Salmon Flsliinp: rVeslected.
The salmon-fishing business was start
ed at the mouth of Smith River by Will
iam Fender, in 1833, and tho catch was
tfarreled. Some ycarsN later a cannery
'was built, costing about 530.CO0, and In one
year S00 barrels and 5000 cases of salmon
were put up. This gave employment to
about 70 men. Mr. Fender died about 17
years ago, and since then the property
has been, leased. "The salmon have been
caught in and out of season, and nets
with small meshes have been used, and no
chance was given the fish to get to the
spa,wnlng grounds. For a time the people
in -Smith River Corners considered it was
"none of cur business" how men fished
along Smith River, but of late years they
have been protesting, and in consequence
the. present methods are a great improve
ment. What is really needed ls some in
dividual or company to buy the fishery,
with its 400 acres of farm land, put in a
hatchery and operate on salmon in the
season, and can fruits and vegetables at
other times. The property can be pur
chased at a reasonable figure, and Is a
splendid opening for the employment of
capital.
Smith River Is quite a large river, with"
considerable fall, as it flows through the
valley, having low banks on each side, un
til it reaches the redwood hills, when the
hills comes abruptly down to the, water's
edge. About five miles from here is an
excellent site for a dam in the river,
which at Its lowest stage has a flow of
about 60,000 inches. It could be carried
along the foothills in a flume, and be used
to supply water for irrigation. When it
reached Smith River Corners it 'would
be capable of developing 2000 horsepower.
This power could be electrified and car
ried to distant points for use. There could
be sawmills, flouring mills, shingle mills,
box factories, barrel factories, furniture
factories, woolen factories, etc., operated
by electric power. An electric railroad
could be built from Smith River Corners
south to Crescent City, and power fur
nished for electric lighting there; and an
electric railroad could be built to Chetco,
and the. current furnished, for electric
lighting there. Wires could be run out
into the redwood timber and saws be op
erated with compressed air, for felling
the trees, and donkey engines be run for
hauling In the logs. The cost of bringing
in the waters of Smith River would not
be very large, as the flume would be along
the foothills, and no wide gulches have to
be crossed. A survey would have to be
made to determine the eiact cost, but
the undertaking Is said to be entire prac
tical. Great Redwood Forest.
The redwood timber adjoining the town
is a virgin forest, no lumber ever having
been cut from it, and It has lately passed
from small owners hands into those of a
svndicate headed by J. S. Owens, of Eau .
Claire, Wis. It Is probable that they will
not let it lie iaie Dut win erect sawmius i
for Its manufacture. It is more than likely
that thev are interested In the rumored I
railroad up the coast, so that their timber
may be cheaply marketed. That is the
only obstacle in the way, and with Gov
ernment improvements made at Crescent
City Bay, 14 miles to the south, and at
Chetco, 14'mlles to the north, or the build
ing of a coast railway, such obstacles
would be removed. Then sawmills em
ploying hundreds of men would be built,
and a payroll means Increased prosperity
for any town. A coast railroad would
mean many new sawmills at convenient
points, which would open to market not
only redwood, but fir, pine, oak, ash,
cedar, spruce, myrtle and other woods.
As far back as 1S61, valuable deposits of
copper and chrome ore were discovered
in the mountains directly cast about nine
miles, and considerable ore vjas taken out
and shipped even as far as England, and
yielded a profit. But the price of cop
per fell, and operations ceased, and have
never been resumed. There was quite a
smart town, called Altavllle, at the mines,
and about 200 men were employed. A good
wagon road, which cost $20,000, was built
from the mines to Smith River Corners.
years ago. There Is no doubt but that
with cheaper transportation these mines
will be again operated, and Smith River
Corners will be the nearest source of sup
ply. Several years ago Hobbs, Wall & Co.
built a railroad from Crescent City to
this place and operated it until a year
or so ago, when the bridge across Smith
River becoming unsafe, It Was taken
down and trains ceased to run any far
ther than to Smith River, although the
railroad still enters the town and the
dePot ls on the ttalR street. The bridge
will probably be replaced and traffic re
sumed next year.
Smith River Valley In the vicinity of
this place Is sheltered from the north
winds by a range of hills, and as a con
sequence the soil is warmer, and will
grow successfully peas, beans, corn, to
matoes and all kinds of vegetables, and
also such fruits as apple3, cherries, pears,
plums and prunes, and there ls a steady
and profitable market for them in parts
cf the valley not so favored. Peaches,
apricots, grapes and similar fruits do
not do so well, and melons are uncertain.
The present town ls situated on a level

west, the hills rise quite abruptly, and
on the sides of these elevations will .be
built the finest residences of a future
city. The hills form a half-circle around
the town, and when in the future the
streets artf lighted by electricity and ex
tend up the sides of the hills, the ap
pearance of the town at night will be
brilliant. To the north and east Is the
somber green of the dense redwood for

lands, and to the west the farming and
pasture lands and the waters of the Pa
cific Ocean. A railroad up the coast must
pass either directly through the town, or
only a mile or two to the west, between
It and the ocean.
Rowdy Creek Is a small mountain
stream, which passes through the town,
but out In the mountains it has pic
turesque scenery and la a good fishing
stream for trout.
At present Smith River is fordable dur
ing, the Summer months, and has a ferry
during the Winter, but It is probable
that a county bridge will be built In a
year or so. There are several places
where a perfectly safe bridge can be
built for from $20,000 to $2J,000.

Because Scott's Emulsion is

THEORIES ABOUT FOOD.
Also a Feiv Facts on tlie Same Sub
ject. Wc hear much nowadays about health:
foods and hygienic living, about vegeta
rianism and many other fads along the
same line.
Restaurants may be found In the large
cities where "no meat, pastry or coffee is
served, and the food crank is in his glory,
and arguments and theories galore ad
vanced to' prcvo that meat wa3 never in
tended for human stomachs, and almost
make us bel'eve that our sturdy ancestors
who lived four score years In robust
health on roast beef, pork and mutton
must have been grossly Ignorant of tho
laws -of health.
Our forefathers had other things to do
than formulate theories about the food
they ate. A warm welcome was extended,
to any kind from bacon to acorns.
A healthy appetlts and common sense
are excellent guides to follow in the mat
ters of diet, and a mixed diet of grains,
fruits and meats is undoubtedly the best.
As compared with grains and vege
tables, meat furnishes the most nutri
ment In a highly concentrated form, and
Is digested and assimilated more quickly
than vegetables and grains.
Dr. Julius liemmson, on thl3 subject,
says: Kervous persons, people run down
In health and of low vitality should eat
meat, and picrity of It. If the digestion
Is too feeble at first, it may be easily
corrected by the regular use of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets after each meal. Two
of these excellent tablets taken after
dinner will digest several thousand grains
of meat, eggs, or other animal food, in
three hours, and no matter how weak the
stomach may be, no trouble will be ex
perienced if a regular practice is made of
using Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, because
they supply the pepsin and diastase neces
sary to perfect digestion, and every form
of Indigestion will be overcome by their
use. '
That large class of people who come
under the head of nervous dyspeptics
should eat plenty of meat and Insure its
proper digestion by the daily use of a
safe, harmless digestive medicine like
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, composed of
the natural digestive principles, pepsin,
diastase, fruit acld3 and salts, which ac
tually perform the work of. digestion.
Cheap cathartic medicines, masquerading
under the name of dyspepsia cures ara
useless for indigestion, as they have ab
solutely no effect upon the actual diges
tion of food.
Dyspepsia, in all its many forms, ia
simply a failure of ,tho stomach to digest
food, and the sensible way to solve tho
riddle and cure the dyspepsia Is to make
dally use at meal time of a preparation
like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which la
indorsed by the medical profession, and
known to contain active digestive prin
ciples. All druggists sell Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets at 50c for full treatment.
