county. 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.
Eight thousand acres of this oak timber
was bought by San Francisco tanners
for its bark, but the timber had been
found to be too valuable for manufac
turing purposes to peel for Its bark.
On Tillamook bay and its tributary
streams he says there are 20,000,000,000
feet, and on the Nehalem and its north
and south forks there are 23,000,000,

brook returned from the' Nushagak on
the Hume, reaching Seattle yesterday.
He reports that In July the Hume, while
crossing a bar near the mouth of the
Nushagak, grounded and sprung a leak.
She proceeded up stream but a few
miles when she filled and sunk In about
eight fathoms of water. While lying
cn the bottom of the river s.ie prac
tically filled with mud and sand. To
raise her, despite the tides and a swift
current, seemed almost an impossibil
ity, yet the feat was performed by the
use of ships, wire springs and lighters.
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.
