THE SANTIAM IFATER DITCH As
sURED.-A large number of our citi-
zens met at the Office of L. Elkins,
last Saturday, and organized q corpora
ton to be called the Albany and San
tam Water Ditch or Canal Co., with
the following Board of Directors: Lu-
ther Elkins, Martin Luper, Jas. II.
Foster, Jason Wheeler, d. II. Thomp-
son, J. f. Backensto, and G. p. Burk-
hart. L. Elkins was elected President
of the Board, d. Mansfield, Secretary,
and John Conner, Treasurer. The cap
ftal stock of the Company is placed at
$4,000, all of which is already SUBJ
scribed. This makes the long -propos-
ed Santiam Ditch /. fixed fact, and is y
just cause for congratulation among
our citizens. Surveyors and viewers
of the route went out this week, and
will shortly report the best and mos;
feasible route for the canal. 1t is ex.
pected to commence on the work i'm
mediateIy and bring the ditch a part
of the distance this season, and com.
plete it next. The completion of this
ditch will be one of the most import
ant epochs in the history of Albany
and will undoubtedly give our city al
impetus that 10 other enterprise posi-
bly, could.
The. Directors are men of energy, en-
terprise, and indomitable perseyer
ance, and we may confidently antici
pate that they will leave no effort I'm
made to push this important undertak
in to an early and successful compile
ton In the meantime our citizen
should render them all the encourage
ment and assistance in their power.

Bay, called onus last Saturday, on hi
return home having been in attend
ance on the Z, S. Circuit Court at Port
land, as a witness in the case of th,
U. S. against Thos. Boyle, charges
with selling liquor to Indians. He in
forms us that Mr.. Boyle was acquitted
We are glad of this, as Mr. B. had jus
taken unto himself a fair and youthful
bride who would have been desolat
indeed if the meshes of the law ha.
closed around him and dragged him t.
a felon's cell Boyle is the person VIII
killed the Indian chief, Toctooteni
Jack, at Yaquina, last Fourth of July
in Jself-defense; and this prosecution
was undoubtedly instigated by malic
and a desire for revenge on the part G
the Indians.
AT YAQUINA BAY-By a lette
from Mr.. A. W. Wright, our agent a
Newport, Yaquina Bay, we learn tl1a
the package of Democrats which go
that place have failed to put in an ar
pearance for some weeks past. Nov
this is too bad. We mail the paper
regularly and correctly, and the fau
of their non-appearance at their desti

various pestmas.ers through who's
