Proposed Saw Mill. An agent of
R. D. Hume it Co., of Ellensburg, has
been prospecting in the sugar pine
country near the mouth of Applegate
vith the view to the erection of
a steam saw mill. That firm have
tried running sugar pine saw logs down
the river for two seasons without
Success, as the logs absorb so much
vater that they floated too deeply to
be caught in the boom at the mouth of
the river. They think that no difficul
ty will be experienced in floating man
ufactured lumber.
Dfiilrt TrAp. The bulkhead belong
ing to the Sterling Mining Coaipany
tseems to be a very successful trap for
deer, three having been bagged in it
last week. The animsls probably in
attempting to jump the ditch wei
caught in thn current and then carried
down the steep shute that carries the
water to the bulkhead, where of course
they were soon drowned. It is quietly
whispered that "friend Ennis keeps a
trap constantly set tor another kind of
"dear," and we hopo ho may catch his
.game wlujnover he U ready,
Nuisance Abating. We under
stand that the hares or jack rabbits
that formerly infested this valley to
the great annoyance of farmers, are
fast diminishing in number. A gen
tleman who is the owner of two fine
Scottish stag hounds and w ho has a
great deal of sport in running hares
down, informs us that they are rapidly
dying off from disease of the liver, and
that in localities where hundreds might
lie found heretofore there is scarcely
one to be seen now. This is certainly
good news to the farmers, as these
jiniraals have been an expensive and
profitless encumbrance.
Driving Hogs Under Difficul
ties. Wm. Bybee, Jr., Robt Wilkin
son and their associates, returned from
Happy Camp, Cal., where they have
been conducting a drove of hogs.
They were thirteen days making the
trip from, here to Happy Camp and
speak of the journey as one of great
hardship owing to the incessant rains
and swollen streams. Three of their
hogs were drowned in their effort to
cross a small creek that had suddenly
risen to gigantic proportions, and in
crossing the summit of the Siskiyous
they encountered from four to five "feet
of snow on the trail For thirteen
days the men did not have a stitch of
dry clothes ou them,

Speaking of the late snow-stoim in
the Shasta valley tho Yreka "Journal"
says that the country round about
that town resembled more the snowy
regions of Alaska than a portion of
California. Two feet of now on "a
dead level" in Shasta valley is a big
showing. During the period alluded
to considerable snow fell in the
Rogue river valley, melting nearly as
fast as it came, and at no point in the
valley, was there more than five inches
of snow on the ground at any one
time.

The Freshet in Smith River.
From tho Crescent City "Courier" we
learn that Smith river this season was
higher by five feet than it was since
1862. The volume of water was so
great that it floated down drift wood
which was not moved by the freshet of
1802. A great deal of damage was
done along the banks of the river and
its tributaries. At Smith river ferry
fifty feet of its bank was washed away,
endangering the residence ot b. urge-
son, which he was forced to abandon
as a strong current passed through the
house. At another point at a rauch
fifty tons of vegetables were swept
away and the soil with them. Several
dairy ranches suffered the loss of a
number of cows and hogs each by
drowning, and sheds and milk-houses
destroyed. Tom Ford had one house
carried away, and about ten thousand
rails and pickets are gone from his
ranch. All the fences on Gilson
prairie are gone. Mr. Ransom, Frank
Gay and William McVay returned
from the North Fork of Smith River
in time to escape the high water.
