st. Joseph, Mich, letter to an ex-

scenes on election day in that state: On
election day one of the lower offices at
the city hall was tastefully fitted up, wreath
ed with evergreens and hung with pictures.
Coffee. cold meats and other refreshments
had been provided, and some twenty or
thirty OF the most refined and respectable
ladies in town waited at the tables and
kept all the voters supplied with suffrage
ballots. Ladies filled the halls and barri-
caded the stairway, and even invaded the
sacred precincts of the voting room. Bash
ful voters had hard time it, running the
gauntlet of SO many ladies Some appear
ed to be fairly frightened and others voted
mo" on the suffrage question, or got away
as soon as possible without voting at all
The utmost humor prevailed, and peals of
laughter came from the halls as some
luckiess voter was surrounded and argued
into silence 1t was the quietest election
day ever known in St. Joseph. In all,
save the crowd on the sidewalks, it re-
sembled church soeiable more than an
election. The ladies were treated with
the greatest respect, no oaths We're heard
and not drunken man appeared on the
scene, although dozen saloons had open
doors within forty rods of the ballot-boXes.
The total vote polled was 4S0 the vote
on women suffrage was 500, of which l47
votes were for it and PAP against it.

The sansiar., Canal.

This great work was completedsomt
days sincei aslisr ias the residence OF
Mr.. James Elkins,- about one mile
south of the Court House IN Njs. CITY,
From this point the waters Of the
Canal are to be Carried In two bitches
or canals, one branch leading north to
the Calipooia river, and the other run
ming north tothe city limitson thesouth,
thence diyerging east to La Fayette
street, and thence north, down said
Lafayette street, to the Willamette
river. The branch leading to the Cal
ipooia was completed aud ready to re-
ceive water Oh the 3lst of December,
and it was determined to let in the
water from the Santiam on the first of
January, ls74; and for this purpose
Mr.. Luther Elkins, President of the
Company, started for the head of the
Canal, some thirteen miles from this
city, and one mile from Lebanon, on
the evening Of the 3lst. The Presi-
dent took with him a small boat, in
which he intended to take first class
excursion from the head to the mouth
of the Canal. But upon reaching the
Santiam it was deemed advisable not
to let the water In at present,as owing
to the heavy rains that had prevailed
for several days previously, all the
swails, creeks and depressions Oh the
line Of the Canal were full to the brim
with w,ter, already threatening to-
break bounds. aadof themselves flood
the Canal. And in fact this did occur,
MS the waters from one or more sl0nghs
found their way into the Canal, max
ing a lively little stream, filling the
Canal to a depth of more than one
foot, flowing through it all day on
Thursday At the time We write this
Friday evening" there is but little
more than six inches OF water running
in the Canal, and the water Is very
nearly clear, showing that the Canal
las been pretty thoroughly cleaned OF
all loose dirt left in finishing up. So
far the undertaking has proved a mag
niieent and gratifying success last
ing monumestto the originator ofthe
work, and those who nobly came for
ward and aided, with their influence
and money, in completingit. The fall
has been nicely graded, giving a fair
current, but not too rapid. In fact
every part and parcel of the work |
seems to have been decided upon after
great care and cautious calculation,
and completed in the most careful and
worknanlike manner. We congratu-
late our people on the consummatiOn
Of this grand enterprise-an enterprise
that will bring more actual prosperity
to Albany than any other. We also
congratulate the officers and steckhol-
ders OH the successful issue Of the un-
dei+aking. In bringing about this sue
cess, no men have labored harder or
worked more faithfully than have the
Board of Directors, for which they de-
serve and should receive the highest
need of praise from all our citizens.
Aud now we announce the Albany &
Santiam Canal Company ready for
buslAess-ready to furnish the very
bc,t of chuck III quantities to suit.
