Twenty summers have elapsed since It
was briefly announced that new vegeta-
Bile tonic and Alternative, bearing the name
of ilOSietter'S stomach BiteIs, had been
added 10 the list Of preventive and restor,I-
tive medicines. The modest advertise
mcnt which invited attention to the prep
araton stated that it had been used with
great success i'll private practice as a cure
for dyspepsia, bilious complaints, con-
stlpation and intermittent fever. 1t WIS
soon discovered that the article possessed
extraordinary properties. The people, OF
every class, tested lis merits rs u tonic,
stimulant, corrective and restorative, and
found that its effects more than fulfilled
their hopes ana expectations. From that
time TO the present It's course has been up
ward and onward, and il stands to-day at
the head of all medicines of its class, Amer.

sales and its reputation as q safe, agreO-
able and potent invigolant and restore

petite and gustnc disturbances so common

ders, cohsi ipati0n, nervousness, periodical
fevers, and all the ordinary complaints
generated by yiliated and humid atmoS

SEVEN MILES CoMPLETED.-Seven
miles of the Albany & Santiam Canal
has been completed. and the balance,
five miles, is rapidly approaching COM
pIetion. The portion completed is the
heaviest and most costly, the seven
miles completed having cost about
three-Quarters ofthe whole sum to be
expended upon the improvement. 1t
is highly probable that the entire
Canal will be completed within the
coming two months-that is, sometime
in September next. In view OF the
early completion of the Canal, various
enterprises of Importance to the
growth and prosperity Of our city,
heretofore talked of are beginning to
take definite shape. We believe If
proper steps be taken now by those
qualified, our citizens would literally
aid the erection of woolen mill.
With a cheap water power, there is
no one industry that would pay larger
dividends, in our opinion. than that Of
a woolen factory.

or elk up there this season, you can
depend on receiving at least one ham

gon City to Eugene City, would
would render the river navigable
3 good portion Of the year at least,
and as far up as Corvallis, tabout two
hundred miles, no serious impedi-
ments would be found during the en-
tire year. An appropriation af $50
600, it Is asserted bv those who are
well acquainted with the river, would
clear it of Instructions, and prove Of
incalculable benefit to the great grain
producing portion OF Oregon. This is
a matter of the greatest importance to
the grain-growing counties bordering
on the banks of the Willamette. and
the man or party who does not favor
the securing from Government the
necessary aid to make the improve
ments demanded. will hereafter re-
ceive no aid or comfort at the hands of
our people. The small appropriation
spoken Of with the snagbOat as at
present equipped, d,accomplishes but lit
tie good. as so much time is occupied
in handling the boat and her machine
ry, that but small portion of the river
can be examined thoroughly before
the appropriation is expended, when
perforce the work must be discontin-
ued. As before remarked, a reasonable
appropriation would give us a craft
properly equipped for rapid and effect
i've operations, aud we could soon have
an unobstrlcted river, almost from its
mouth to Its head-and certainly the
interests at stake are sufficient to de-
mand the granting of such an appro-
priation.

his medicines, relating his experiences,
and tillingin the spaces with vocal and

Mr.. John Parker has returned from

ion is that the diggings, all through
that country, will average or ''stand
off" any other tract of country of sim

A BEAR STORY.-While Mr.. John
Mcfarland was in the mountains, one
day last week, he killed two large elk,
and not being able to carry both to
camp, he, with the assistance of others,
hung one Of the elk on a tree, suppos-
ing it to be out of the reach of any
wild animal disposed to ''go tor it. y
Upon his return the next morning,
what was his surprise to see a large
brown bear clinging to the tree with
three legs while with the fourth his
bearship was leisurely stripping and
conveying to his mouth the choice
portions of the hams of the elk. Sew
eral shots were fired at bruin, but he
succeeded in eluding his would be cap
tors and escaping to the fastnesses of
the mountains.

BEAR RIDE.-A story was told us
the other day, which runs in thiswise:
Old Stonewall everybody either
knows or has heard of the old noun
taineer, Moss-came across huge
black bear, on Moss Butte, when the
bear catching sight Of his old enemy,
started down the Butte, probably hav-
ing heard of the old hunters prowess,
and therefore not desiring close ac-
quaintanoeship with him. Moss, not
desiring to be snubbed in this manner,
and having no gun with him, drew
his hunting-knife, made for the bear,
caught up with and jumped upon his
back, and commenced gently inserting
its long keen, sharp blade into the
body Of bruin. Each successive thrust
of the knife only increased bis bear
ships speed-and thus, Moss riding
astride the terrible beasts back, cut
ting and slashing away with his keen
blade, the bear, painting and bleeding
from score of wounds, rushed lnadIy
down the steep sides of the rocky
mountain, through brier and brush,
over rocks and through ravines, dis
tance Of three miles, to the level space
below, which he reached only to pass
in his checks, and add another trophy
to the great Webfoot hunter.

FINISHING UP.-Mr. Morris finished
up his big job of work at the heaG Of
the Santiam Canal the forepart OF the
week, and has moved camp to James
Elkin's farm, just in the suburbs of the
city, to commence operations on the
last two miles of the Canal. Between
the portion Of the Canal already com
pleted and received by the Company,
and this city, there is less than five
miles Of Canal to be dug and lumed,
and as this unfinished portion is under
contract to Messrs. Turley, Frey and
Morris, gentlemen who know how to
put work through in good shape, we
expect to see the Canal completed
within six weeks from this date.

TORE THINGS. Two or three days
since, at Grouse & Hurd's saw-mill, a
huge four-foot fir log was gradually
being hauled out Of the river into the
mill, to be manufactured into lumber,
when something broke, and the log
"went back" on the machinery so sud-
denly, as to create an idea among the
boys that somethin' had busted, and
some of them got from thence in haste.
The "bull-wheel'' was torn to smash,
portions of it going through the top Of
the mill. We ARE happy to state, how
ever, that no one was hurt. Damage,
about 5 0.

A NEW WEATHER FEATURE.-The
rain-storm which commenced the latter
part Of last week and extended into
the forepart of the present, IL a new
Departure storm at this season OF
the year in the Willamette valley being
a thing hitherto unknown. Quite a
large amount Of grass, cut and lying
In swath, is probably ruined. A con-
siderable amount of wheat and oats
was blown down, and will probably
prove worthless except for hay.
