MEssRs. EvERsoN HAINEs, General Agents of
the New England Mutual Life Insurance Com
pany, of Boston
Gentlemea-Having taken a lively interest in
the affairs of a large and destitute family, left
by an old resident of this city, who died Aug. 2,
1859, and who insured in the New England
Mutual Life Insurance Company, we take pleas
in making the following statement for the in
ormation of the public:
A. E. @. Miller was insured by ordinary Life
Policy No. 1884, bearing date January 81. 1858.
He paid annual payments to January 81, 1868,
inclusive. Since then nothing has been paid.
He died August 2, 1869, over eighteen months
after the last payment of premium, yet your
company working under the Equitable Lapse
Laws of Massachusetts,, pays the widow and
orphans the whole policy, deducting only the pre-
MUM due while in all other companies doing
business here, about which we know anything the
policy would long since have been forfeited
By the New England Mutual, the widow has
been paid 81 $50 so. This consider mnnii-
cent, more especially when take into consid-
Grafton that the family would not have received a
cent from any other company doing business on
this coast. This, in our estimation, is enough to
recommend this company above all others, This
is EQUITY, this is Mutualty. We, therefore, rec
ommend this company to the public, as the only
company that has no forfeitures.
We herewith inclose you the Acknowledgements
of the widow. Respectfully, etc.,

LOCAL AFFAIRS

CANTlAM MSANAL.-Slnce the question
of bringing the Oregon Central Railroad
Cast Side) through Albany has been
settled in the affirmative, other interests
that affect the future prosperity and
growth of our city to at least as great an
extent as the securing of the railroad, are
being canvassed by our citizens. The
first in importance that now presents its
claims to the attention of our business
men, is the proposition to bring the wa
ters of the South Fork of the Santiam,
by means of a navigable canal, to this
city. On last Monday night large
number of our citizens assembled at the
Office of Messrs. Beach & Monteith, to
thoroughly canvass the subject-ascer-
tain the length, probable cost, and the
advantages to accrue to those investing
their money in the construction of a
navigable canal. AS this matter of dig
ging a canal has been broached before,
there were several persons at the meeting
who had been over the whole ground,
and were we'll acquainted with the clay
OF the country" Messrs. Backensto,
Warner, Powell, aud others, addressed
the meeting, stating the prasticability,
length, fall, benefits, ETC., of the canal
The general conclusion seemed to be that
the length of the canal would be about
nineteen miles that as there were no
natural distractions it could be fin
ished IN one season, provided it was
pushed; that it would be a paying in
vestment to stockholders from the first,
and that the benefits to accrue to this
city from its completion, could hardly be
estimated Mr.. Hart, contractor on the
Yamhill ditch, stated that he had figured
on eighteen miles of canal, without locks,
and his contract price would be S27 900.
He thought that it would be necessary to
construct from four to six locks, said
locks costing 81 900 each Mr.. Harris
estimates were made on canal similar
In width, depth, &c, to the 1amhill Ca
nal, VIE: Nineteen feet at top. ten feet
at bottom, and three feet deep. The
locks were to be eighty feet The opin-
ion of those present was shat a canal ol
the above dimensions should be dug
that We have the capital, and that the
interests of this city demands its imme
diate construction. Forty thousand dol
lars was fixed as the amount of capita
necessary to complete the work Mr.
Hart gave the capacity of the canal al
5000 cubic inches of water The fall
from the head of the canal on the San
tam to where it empties into the vii
lamette at this city is given as one hun
dred and ninety-two feet. A committee
of six gentlemen were selected by tho
committee to get up articles of incor-
poration, induce capitalists to sign them
and have them placed on file immediate
ly. We are inclined to believe that the
/ enterprise thus inaugurated will be car
ried on to a successful issue. This en-
terprise secure, and the completion o
the railroad to this point will give Al
bany advantages second to no other cit,
in the State. @

Genttemen-On my own behalf and in the name
of my orphan children, beg to thank you, and
through you the New England Mutual Life In
surance Company of Bosom, for its munifcence
in paying me my terminated policy on the life of
my husband. On the 2ist of January, 1869,
misfortune compelled me to forego the payment
of the last prsmum-which non-payment in any
other company would have lost me my policy
but am now overjoyed with the receipt of the
amount of the policy Qess the amount of the un-
paid premium only), thanks to the equity of the
Massachusetts Lapse Laws, that must bless many
widows and their children. I recommend the
New England Mutual to all who would provide
against possible misfortune I sincerely thank
you again, gentlemen, for the payment, and also
for your generous and gentlemanly assistance in
the matter. Respectfully,
