He says that on the Umpqua are 32,000,000,000 feet, and on the Sius law 15,000,000,000 feet. In Curry county he found large tracts of black oak that would make fine furniture. These trees, he says, will average ihree cuts of 20 feet each.

She was pumped out and patched up sufficiently strong to return to Bel lingham under her own steam. Re turning she came through Unlmak pass, of the Aleutian archipelago, and made the ports of Chignlk, Nyaek, Juneau and Ketchikan. Captain E. E. Young commanded the Hume in the north and was her mas ter on the return voyage. CRACK SHOT DROWNED. Billy Mathews Lest in Saginaw Bay While Out in Boat. Bad Axe, Mich., Sept. 20.
