A corporation called the Albany and
Santiam Water Ditch Company, with
capital stock of $50, 600, all of which has
been subscribed, has been organized at
Albany. This makes the long-talked Of
Santiam Ditch Company a fixed fact.
A local paper says the completion of
this ditch will be one of the most i'm
portant epochs in the history of Albany,
and will undoubtedly give that city an
impetus that no other enterprise possi-
bly, could.
Orc Fino Theater opened last Satur-
day evening with Shakspeare's grand
tragedy of Macbeth, with Mr.. Waldron
as Macbeth and Mrs. f. F. Stewart as
Lady Macbeth. 1t is useless to COM
ment upon Mr.. WaldrOn's rendition of
the character he assumed. Mrs. Stew
art, as Lady Macbeth, rendered her part
splendidly. The rest of the characters
were also well sustained. The other
pieces during this week were all brought
out in good style. The troupe will go
to Salem next week.
The Reporter says Sheridan, in Yam
hill county, is not the dullest place out,
but on the contrary its people are up and
alive with the spirit of improvement,
and have already made marks of COM
mendable enterprise. There are two
stores, three blacksmith and wagon
shops, shoemaker shop, hotel, the in
despensible doctor or two, and a lawyer.
They have a good school house, and
during the past season the citizens have
erected a neat and commodious church,
which is certainly great credit to them,
and would be an ornament to some
larger places.
From the PCultdgrdph we learn that
about two weeks ago Mr. VIM. Stearns,
German living on Kentuck Slough,
in Coos county, left home with his wife
to visit a neighbor, leaving his three
little children at home. Leaving his
wife at his neighbor's he Immediately
returned, and when in sight of his home
he saw smoke issuing therefrom and
hurried toward it, Upon his arrival he
burst the door in and discovered the in
terror on fire. He sought for his chill
dren, but in vain, and only left the
burning building when compelled to in
order to save his own life. He was
badly burned, and at last accounts was
unable to see, although it is not thought
that his eyesight is permanently in
jured. After the fire was burned out,
the charred remains of the three little
children were found. 1t is supposed
that during his absence, which did not
exceed twenty minutes, the children
obtained matches from his pocket, and
in playing with them set fire to the
house, and becoming frightened were
unable to escape from the burning build
ing. It is truly lamentable affair, and
Mr.. 5. and wife have the heartfelt SYM
pathy of the community in which they
/ live.

During his short stay i'm Paris the
Prince Of Wales took occasion TO pay a
visit to Mrs. johnson, of Baltimore,
formerly Miss Harriet Lane, who was
staying for some weeks at the Hotel
Westminster in that city. The compli-
ment was not only consistent with "A
truly royal courtesy, but was merited by
the recipient, whose claim upon the rec
ognition of the representative of the
British throne was well established dur
ing the years that she presided over the
White House, at Washington, and at
the residence of the American Minister
in London. AS niece of the bachelor
President, she did the honors of the
White House with a delicate courtesy
and a gentle dignity that gained the
respect as well as the admiration of state
visitors from abroad, equally with that
Of the people. 1t was true Republican
Court that Miss Lane established, over
which she ruled without pretensiOns
display or foolish extravaganza, but
with an elegant grace that gave an easy
supremacy. 1t was she who welcomed
and entertained the Prince of Wales Oh
his visit to America, and we can easily
believe that the return call of the Prince
in Paris was prompted as much by in
clinatiOn as by royal courtesy.

Medicines of the day, which, numerous as the

existence of worms, or to remove every one
unaided by any other purge, together with its

might be adduced TO show its progressive and
rapidly increasing reputation Tor the last few
years; but TO promulgate us lame anu estao-

SOMETHING ABOUT COTTON.

| 4 late number of tLe San Francisco Mia- ing and Scientikc Press, under the head, De- ginning of New Industry" gives some items concerning the culture of cotton in California, and urges more extensive cultiVa- ton of that staple, and the establishment Of cotton mills in the State, showing that in southern counties of California cotton can be raised, picked and baled at cost of seven and one-half cents per pound, while 1t can not be produced in any of the Southern States for less than twelve cents per pound. The difference being in the fact that in Cali fornia there is no rain during the time be- tween the maturing of the crop and the pick ing season, and that all the cultivation must be done with hoes, going over the ground after each rainfall, while in California one, or, at most, two plowings is sufficient. The statement is made that 450 pounds of clean cotton is an average yield per acre in Califor- mia, which, with the average market price at 20 to 2 cents per pound, is d very profitable crop.
 We refer to this for the purpose of re- minding Arizonans, and all others whom it may concern, that we have, in Arizona, in the Gi.a and Salt River valleys, thousands of acres of uroccupied lands that will pro duce as fine cotton as can be raised any where, and we do not make this statement without having good reasons for so doing It is well known fact, that the Pima and Maricopa Indians, living in Gla River Valley, raise considerable cotton every year, of fine quality, and that such was their custom when white men first came to Arizona, and that they manufacture coarse cotton cloth and blankets, in a rude way. White settlers at Phenix, Salt River and Florence, on the Gla, during the past four years, have made most satisfactory experiments in cotton rais- ing, and gentleman from Phoenix, recently informed us that several acres were raised this year, giving very large yield of cotton of long, fine staple, and that next year con siderable cotton will be planted. We conf dently look forward to the time when cot ton will be one of the principal products of Southern Arizona, and when mills are estab- lished in California the market will be near at hand, and the demand certain and unlim- iteG.

Declaration of Reales cd hat
 Eife can do.

It is not generally known that wife alone can make homestead of the property which she and her husband own, and on which they reside. The husbands consent IS not requl- site, the law stating that the homestead land and house, not exceeding in value 5000, can be selected by the husband and wife, or either of them. A case illustrative of the power of the wife in this respect lately oc- cured here. A husband, who was hopeless drunkard, after running through all his per sonal property, was preparing to sell the homestead in which he, his wife and his family lived, without consent Of his wife. Fortunately she heard of it, and quietly went and registered the property as home stead. The buyer, when searching the title, buttcd up against her declaration, which made it impossible for her husband to sell the property. All wives in a like position should follow tIis example. If husband will not provide for his wife and children, 1t is the duty of the wife to protect both by taking advantage of the homestead law The law not only legally makes the wife halt owner of the homestead, but also eXempts 1t from sale for subsequent debt, execution or liability.-Real Estate Circular.

Tunnel Rights.
Important Decision by the General Lan'
 Office Commissioner.

Our Washington correspondent, says the San Francisco Bulletin, sends us the following important decision of the General Land Office, which determines question of great practical interest in relation to "Tunnel Rights" under the new mining law
 DEp'r OF INTERIOR GEN'L LAND OFFICE, !
 WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 20, 1872.
 Hon. J. B. Chaffee, M. C., Denver, Colorado Territory.-Sir: In response to your letter of the 18th instant, desiring the construction of this office of the clause in the Mining Act Df May 10th, 1872, relative to tunnels, have the honor to state that the interpretation uniformly given by this office to the fourth section of said statute may be found under the head of "tunnel rights" commencing on page eight of circular herewith dated June 10th, 1872, from which it will be perceived that the line of the tunnel is held to be the width thereof and no more, and upon this line only is prospecting for blind lodes pro hibitcd while the tunnel is in progress, and that the right is granted to the tunnel own CTS to fifteen hundred feet of each blind lode, not previously known to exist which may be discovered in such tunnel, but that other parties are in no way debared from prospect ing for blind lodes or running tunnels so long as they keep WlInin thc iiio VI .h0 '"''si as herein defiued; the said line being requir- cd by our regulations to be marked on the surface by stakes or monuments placed along the same line from the face or point of com mencement, to the terminus of the tunnel line aforesaid When a lode is struck or dis covered for the first time by running tun- mel, the tunnel owners have the option of re- cording their claim of fifteen hundred feet all on one side of the point of discovery or intersection, or partly upon one and partly upon the other side thereof, but in no case can they record claim so as to absorb the actual or constructive possession of other parties on lode which had been discovered and claimed outside tue line of the tunnel before the discovery thereof in the tunnel. l am sir, very respectfully your obedient ser want.
