Read the Reports

The attention of the readers of the
Leader, is called to the three bank
reports published in this issue of the
Leader. They are all strong monetary
institutions, as good rs can be found
anywhere and are conducted on safe
and conservative lines. Notice is
particularly called to the capital in
vested, SURPRISES and undivided profit
and the large sums carried rs time
deposits, which demonstrates that
there is an abundance of money in
Watertown and the amount being
added to rather than diminished. The
prosperity of q city can usually be
judge by the large amount in the
banks.

APPRAISEMENT OF The
R. D. HUME ESTATE
Lower River Salmon King Owned
the River Banks for About
f2 Miles.

The late r. D. Hume, who was
dictator with the powers
Of king at the mouth of Rogue river,
left much less property than was
supposed at the time of his death
The appraisement of his holdings
amounts to $378.000 and against
this are debts amounting to $146,-
900. BY some means Hume got hold
of the land on either side OF the
Rogue river for a distance Of IL
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 1t was easy to get title
and when no questions were asked.
OF the $4,000 acres of land, 5000
to 5000 is valuable for timber, the
remainder is productive only Of
grass for sheep; 1t is non-agricul-
tural. Yet 1t may prove immensely
valuable because 1t extends up each
side of the Rogue river from its
mouth for IL miles and runs also
seven miles north of the mouth of
the Rogue along the ocean beach,
without, 1t is said, break at any
place. Herein lay its value to Hume.
BY 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 he was
virtually king of Gold Beach and
Wedderburn. BY installation of his
$35, 900 cold storage plant ana 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 right Hume had held ex-
Iclusive possession of the Rogue sal
mon grounds, The Rogue is a navi-
gable stream, third Of a mile wide
at its mouth, with IA feet of water
on its bar at high tide. 1t was real
lied that anyone had 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 kings estate, which could for
bid landings or trespassA in short,
where the county road came to the
river would afford the only ingress
except from the ocean.

started on February 10, 1905, on his sue

black line marks the route northward. It
crosses Smith sound to Eilesmere Land.
where Cook passed over a coast mountain
chain and turned for as straight a line
as possible to the pole. He passed
through hansen straits and at the lands
end extremity of Heiberg island he struck
the great frozen polar sea. This was
March Is, 1905 The black line shows
where he took his bearings on March 30

He took his bearings again on April H.
less than 100 miles from the pole.
The broken line on the map shows
Cooks route on his toilsone march back
to Greenland. It will be seen that this
route was generally parallel to the trip
north, but lack OF food. severe weather

lar ice they reached land on the west
side OF Heiberg island. Passing through
