A port nf et tr has been established here,

Thia bay is destined lo be an important

already pmpinved in the transportation o(

Rogue river alev, which lake its name
'mm Ihe river which pBssng through it, is a-
binjt seventy miles by the main travelled rou'e
from the Unipqua. The valley is watered
by never fa ling stream ; the toil is general-

with jrrovesol fine timber. As it holders tip
on a rich gold region, n must eentuai:y bo-
come densely populated. Asyet, however,
it contains no w hue settlement, butts orcu
pied h the Rogue river Indians, w ho have
rendered il the seat of much trouble and suf-
fering from their depredations.

which no doubt will be speedily occupied a
