APPRAISEMENT OF THE
R. D. HUME ESTATE
Lower River Salmon King Owned
the Ilivcr Ilunks for About
12 Miles.
The late R. D. Hume, who was
nractlcally dictator with the Dowers
of king at the mouth of Rogue river,
left much less property than was
supposed at the time of his death.
The appraisement of bis holdings
amounts to $378,000 and against
this are debts amounting to $146,-
000. By some means Hume got hold
of the land on either side of the
Rogue river for a distance of 12
miles from its mouth and by this
means he shut out all other fisher
men from the salmon grounds. He
acquired these lands during those
days when It was easy to get title
and when no questions were asked.
Of the 14,000 acres of land, 5000
to 6000 is valuable for timber, the
remainder is productive only of
grass for sheep; it is non-agricultural.
Yet It may prove Immensely
valuable because It extends up each
side of the Kogue river from its
mouth for 12 miles and runs also
seven miles north of the mouth of
the Rogun along the ocean beach,
without, it Is said, a break at any
place. Herein lay Its value to Hume.
15y tying up the river banks he hoped
to keep off salmon invaders, and
succeeded. Carrying out this policy
of holding the district, he conducted
his business affairs so that hi? was
virtually king of Gold Reach iind
Wedderburn. Ily Installation of lv.
$35,000 cold storage plant and the
deep wharf at Port Orford, he was
extending his operations to the only
other town of any importance in the
county.
When he died men began to ask
by what riht Hume had held ex
clusive possession of the Rogue sal
mon grounds. The Rogue Is a navi
gable stream, a third of a mile wide
at Its mouth, with 14 feet of water
on its bar at high tide. It was real
ized that anyone bad a right to come
In from the ocean and seine. But
all the frontage on both sides from
the Pacific to beyond the fishing dis
trict was every foot held by the sal
mon king's estate, which could for
bid landings or trespassX in short,
whore the county road came to the
river would afford the only ingress
except from the ocean.

HOW TO ('ROW FAT.
A Luy Stomach the Cause of Thin
ness, Nine Times in Ten.
If you are thin or lean, have
scrnwney arms and neck, you can't
grow fat unless your food properly
dlgestH.
People take on flesh In proportion
to the nutritious matter which the
organs of digestion absorb and pass
into me uiooa.
Just as long as the nutritious mat
ter passes utong without being ab
sorbed, JuBt so long will you remain
thin.
Perhaps your stomach, bowels and
liver need a tonic. If your digestion
is not perfect, Ml-on-a tablets will
put it light at once.
Ml-on-a will cure indigestion and
every conceivable ailment of the
stomach promptly. It cures by
building and toning up and not by
encouvuglng a tired stomach to con
tinue Its shiftless and health destroy
ing habits. It promptly drives awav
sour stomach, belching ot gas, heavi
ness after eating.
C. H. lVinnray sells Ml-on-a for
50 cents a large box, and guarantees
It to cure Indigestion, sen and car
sickness, vomiting of pregnancy and
all stomach diseases and distress, or
money back.

In the west and northwest Inaugur

was not (Jlsposed to go Into particu
lars but did say:
"We Intend to build all the lines
that are warranted by the develop
ment of the country in the North
west, and possibly some which are
not warranted by present develop
ment. Yes, we are going to build a
line south In the center of the state
of Oregon from a point on the Col
umbia river. I cannot tell you how
far we will go with that line. It de
pends upon conditions."
"Is It not true that you are head
ing for San Francisco?" was asked.
"Oh, no. Indeed." was the reply,
wo are heading for Mexico City. 1
don't mind telling you what route we
Intend taking,' If you will be careful
not to say anything about It. We are
going to build that line up the Des
chutes river and then extend It to
the highest point in the Sierra Ne
vada Mountains, from which point
we Intend using aeroplanes to reach
Mexico City. Now. Isn't that a good
story for your paper? It has the
merit of romance, at least, and that's
better than a whole lot of newspaper
stories."
