Captain Hsrris-of EHsaaer, -accon?
anied by his brother-in-law, 8am D :
freese returned yesterday from the Loon
lake country. He was tench impressed
with the possibilities of that sectioc;
which only needs wagon rose commusi-
catioatobe a fine field for dairvin?
There are seme 3600 acres of good bot- -
torn land in the viclrdty of the lake,
about 100 acres '.in cultivation s4 40f
acres partly cleared.
The settlers are beqoiing sasch in
terested in getting a. wagon road throajd
to Allegany, so that they can so itt$
the creamery business and baal their
product to a market on the bay. At
present there is no road to the lake.
About 0 miles of road has bees built
out from Scottsburg, leaving about 4
miles of a gap, pack trains being asd
for transportation. The lake is about
miles from Allegany, and 4 Bailee bee
yond the pouglan county line. Some
8 miles of road 'has been bnitt extendi
ing from Allegany neurly to GoVlea Falls
where Coos county has alio done eoa
siderable work in the way of blasting a.
road up the bluff at the falls. To give
m
&n communication this way itwoulil
on the umpqua desire to sae the Loon
lake country kept tributary to Scotts
burg. Captain Harris yisitsd the outlet of
the lake, and tho waterfall about which
there was some discission last year.
He says that when he saw it at 1000
miner inches el water was flowing over
the fall and he considers it a valaable
water power.
There is estimated to he H5.0C0.000
feet of timber on the Boon fake water
shed, and it would seem that this will
one day be a fine site for a saw mill, fat
the mouth of the lake. The fall
would not only furnish power for the
mill but water for a flume to transport
the lumber to deep water on the ' Ussp.
