Hume, of Ellensburg, passed through this place on his way to San Francisco via McCloud river, on a business trip. Mr. Hume is the sole proprietor of the immense sawmill at the month of 11 >gue river, and his visit this way was partly to arrange for the delivery ut his mill of sugar pine logs from this country. They are rafted down Hogue river at convenient stages of the wa­ ter in that stream and are there caught in a boom, taken from thence to the mill and converted into lumber,-quarr timber, etc., and shipped on his own vessels to San Francisco and thence to various parts of the world as the mar­ ket demands. He has a line of steam­ ers running regularly between Ellens­ burg and San Francisco. On his pits- ent visit he contracted for the delivery of 1,000,000 feet of sugar pine logs. In addition to his milling privileges he is also chief member of a fishery company and at this time has em­ ployed about 130 hands, engaged in c itching fish and canning them for shipment. Another and no less im­ portant item of his vi-it was to secure co-operation of the people of this and Josephine counties to assist him in the construction of a pack-trail and ulti­ mate wagon road from Kerbyvilie or I)ver creek, to the mouth of Ilogue river, a distance of probably not more than fifty miles, over a route different from the proposed road to Cnetco, which will connect with his steamer line at Ellensburg and thence establish a direct trade-route to San Francisco by wagon and steamer. • It is his in­ tention to put two experienced moun­ taineers, who are well acquainted with the country, to viewing out a trail im­ mediately on bis return, which wili be next month. They will view out sev­ eral trails, if necessary, and the most feasible oue for a wagon road will be adopted and a responsible committee of our citizens will then bo asked to go over the route and see for them­ selves and report results, when, if means can be secured, the trail, and in time the wagon road, will be construct­ ed. In the beginning of his enterpris­ es at the mouth of Ilogue river, a year or so ago, it was his intention to have run light-draught steamers up tiiat stream to the mouth of the Illi­ nois river, but he says experiment has demonstrated that to bo impracticable in a profitable sense. But ho is sure that a good wagon road can be con­ structed, at a moderate expense, over the route proposed, passable at all sea­ sons of the year, and he will then fur­ nish sufficient ocean transportation, by steam and ^.»¡!, as the trade may re­ quire, to relieve this valley of all the produce it ca raise at a cheaper rate than can be eX >ecteeph’s baud, in which a son ot J' -eph’.- and some other Indians were killed.
