Committee Of Relief. dated Sscrsmeata

about 10000 on the way this side Of Sak
Lake and Bear River who had not crossed
the Great Desert, ct least one half Of whom
would be destitute ofteams and subsistence
befors fesching Carson :iver. About one
half Of these immigrants were deluded By
fslss reports, and led to take O. wrong read
from Salt lake, leading around to the South
Of the Lake and uniting With the old road
on Hambolds River, shout 200 miles above
the Sink. The distance BY this road is
greatly increased, and desert about nine
ty miles long has to be crossed.
Most Of the sDimsls on this route perish
ed on the desert, and not under the hsrd-
ships Of the road, but perished for want of
water and food. Those who srs fortunsts
enough to get over The desert will stii have
10 travel nearly three hundred miles before
they reach Carson River, and but few Of
them will reach this point with any means
to purchase subsistence. ] was crsdibly
that several Thousand parsons,
among them many families, took this road;
but up to the time Of my leaving Johnson's
station only few Of these persons (no FAM

exists among shis body Of the inmigra-

At the time Of my departure from john
sons station. provisions we're -exesedinsly
scarce among both immigrants and traders,
but met on the road large supplies in the
hands Of enter prising traders, think, there
fore, the amount Of provisions en- route to
the desert in the hands Of traders, and the
amount lately sent forward BY the active
benevolence Of the citizens Of CslifoTnis,
may be sufficient to supply the immigrants.
The Carson river road seems to be the
only road travelled by immigrants in great
numbers, the Truckee route having been
abandoned on account Of high water and
other causes. ~ .r-7 --'
