The Albany a. SantianA Canal as u
Means OF transportation.
ALBANY. Feb. 7th. 1879


ED. REGISTER I'm consideration of
some of the great advantages to be
derived from Albany & Santiam Canal,
/ would be glad to have You notice
through your columns,
First-That it is not a thing for a
day or year. but that it will afford a
perpetual supply Of good, clear, living
water to twelve miles Of prairie land,
which is now entirely dependent on
wells.
Second-It affords to farmers along
the line abetter and cheaper means of
transportation than can any Railroad.
Every farmer can have a boat Of his
own or q company may be formed
for the express purpose OF constructing
boats to be used in navigating the
Canal, carrying grain or other freight
to either terminus or points alolig its
line. A farmer living near the line Of
the Canal, may store his grain on his
own premises, with the assurance that
if he wishes to deliver it at Albany
during the Winter, when the roads are
generally impossible, the Canal will
always be open and ready to transport
II. and il his crop be ever so large, one
or two days will suffice to transfer it
there. 10 illustrate: A flat-bottomed
boat drawing one foot of water, thirty
two feetin length by twelve in breadth,
will carry over 400 bushels Of wheat,
or twelve tons-A,O0O pounds. A
boat Of the same dimensions, drawing
two feet of water, would carry twenty
four tons, or over eight hundred BUSH
els of wheat.
ANY farmer may build boat, calcu-
| lating its carrying capacity as follows:
Multiply its length by the with III
feet, and the product by 62ls, and he
will have the number Of pounds the
bout will carry, drawing one foot Of
water.
There are several other ways In
which the Canal will prove Of almost
incalculabIe benefit to farmers along
It's lile, not among the least Of which
ii the carrying or of surplus water
from flat or low lands. Mr.. G. p.
Burkfmrt so well understands the
benefits to accrue from it, that he pro-
poses, If the Canal crosses his farm, to
excayate that much Of It, at his own
expense. MORE ANON.

different Clubs in the county,efor the
erection ofa warehouse at Astoria !;
the tavorite one at present, however,
seems 20 be the formation of a joint
stock company, and In all probability
such a company will be formed, and
the warehouse erected by it.

ERON FENCE During a recent call
ut the Albany boundary, Mr.. A. +.
Cherry. proprietor, we noticed, among
other things, some iron fencing, just
completed to order. that was not only
complete as to finish. but the design
itself was very neat and tasty. Mr..
Cherry exhibited for our inspection
several other designs that were excel
lent for strength as well as beauty.
The difference between the cost OF an
open-work iron fence ard the common
wooden picket fence is so small, and
the superiority of the former over the
latter 50 manifest. that we wonder
there are notmO iron fences to be seen
ornamenting the many pleasant resi-
dences throughout our city.

CANAL. Capt. Smith and his en-
gineers have run one line for the AL
l,any and Santian Canal to this city,
and are now engaged in running an
other. Capt. Smith pronotlnces the
line run the most natural channel he
ever saw tor the same distance. twelve
miles, the fall being gradual. requiring
no deep cuttings, the deepest cut being
but six feet, and that for short dis
tance only. There will be no locks
required. thus cheapening the cost of
construction. Allinterested are highly
pleased with the showing so ,ar, and
are more confident than ever Of the
great success awaiting those interested
in the enterprise.

ANOTHER PHROPHET IN THE
FIELD.

Another prophet turns up and predicts
terrible things for us all by and by. The
prophet is DR.. R. T. Trail, and in the
Philadelphia Star he talks in despond-
ing manner. He says that we are ap-
preaching the climax of pestilential
period From 1880 to 1885 the planets
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune
will approach the earth nearer than they
have been for eighteen hundred years.
Whenever any one of the four have come
near enough for us to feel its influence,
pestilence, famine and extremes OF heat
and cold have been the result. Now, We
are to have the influence of the four COM
bined, and he predicts that in seven years
from now all manner of evil which grows
out of the atmospheric changes will be
upon us. To lessen the calamity, the
world is urged to use the srictest sani-
tary measures, and by health and clean
illness counteract the effects OF our unwel-
come neighbors. The world is SO much
better able to care for itself than it was
two or three hundred years ago, and by
care we may avert much of the danger
To the following classes he gives very
cold comfort: The dissipated, the glut-
ton, the debauchee may calculate on be-
ing among the first victims. Young men
who deyitalize themselves by tobacco us.

A SUCCESS Gold Hill News, of
March "a, speaking of the Morris Mt.
Davidson exploit, says:
Yesterday, Henry Morris, of Virginia,
undertook to carry piece Of rock, weigh
ing SO pounds, from Virginia to the flag
staff on mt. Davidson, for the sum of
$40, with the understanding that, after
climbing the flagstaff, he was to return
to Virginia in three hours from the time
of leaving. The young man with his
piece of rock sewed up in sack, COM
menced making the ascent at about l. is
a. N. He managed to reach the flagstaff
in one hour and seventeen minutes in a
pretty thoroughly exhausted condition.
Hundreds of people witnessed the feat.
After rest for moment the young man
put on a pair of climbers and commenced
ascending the flagstaff. After climbing
about three-fourths of the way up the
flagstaff, Mr.. Kunz, of Sacramento, who
made the offer of the money, expressed
himself satisfied, and the young man.
painting like a porpoise, descended and
made his way back to Virginia. having
consumed two hours and quarter in the
entire trip. The rock carried by Morris
was left at the foot of the flagstaff with a
record OF the affair transcribed on the native
rock in black paint.
