MCKENZIE AND HARRIsBURa Ca
NAL.--On the 4th inst articles of in
corporation were filed in the Linn
county Clerks Office for the construc-
tion Of the above named Canal, with
the following gentlemen as incorpora-
tors: J. F. Hendrix, Hiram Smith,
R. A. Rampy, w. H. Baber, M. Full
Ter and Sam. Seller. The ditch is pro.
posed to be IA miles long, with width
of 80 feet at bottom and AZ feet at top,
and Is estimated to cost 100000. This
is a most important enterprise, and
being inaugurated by such reliable and
energetic citizens as those gentlemen
whose names appear in the articles Of
Incorporation, cannot fail Of ultimate
success. When completed it will con
meet by quick transportation two Of the
richest farming sections in the Upper
Willamette and will open to immedi-
ate trade d large tract of cereal pro-
ducing country, AT the head Of this
proposed Canal Is the finest tract Of
inexhaustible timber in the world, and
this water power will afford 1t cheap
and rapid transit to the hest markets
of the State. The citizens of the up.
per part Of Linn and lower part Of
Lane should all lend a speedy helping
hand to this enterprise by the early
subscription Of stock. If 1t is seer
that the Canal is to be built to Harris
burg, we are fully satisfied that the
people of Albany will give fullest aiC
for its extension to this place.

The STAR CoMPosITIoN.- Here's o
boy's composition on the pig which
just knocks the persimmons off'n any
literary production yet thrown in sight
during this collegiate year. "The pig
is about as big as sheep, only pig's
wool is not good to make stockings
out Of. Why Is a pig like tree :?
Because he roots. That is conun-
drum. A pig washes himself in the
mud. A pig has got four legs, one un-
der each corner Of his body. They
pickle pigs feet, but not until the pig
is done using 'em. A pig squeels aw-
full when 1t rains, also when you pull
his tail. A pig has got a firstrate voice
for squeellng, and he grunts when be
feels good. You can't make whistle
out of pigs tail, cause its crooked.
! Why is pig like Tommy Grant?
Cause he's got his nose in everybody's
own business. This isanother connun-
drum, which is all know about a
pig.r

UNION GAS MACHINE. Mr.. w. Il.
Howell, is introducing into Oregon q
new style Of gas light, which is liable
to revolutlonize the old custom of coal
oil and "taller candles" 1t has fully
demonstrated ITSELF as the cheapest
systsm Of lights for small cities and
large buildings ever invented. We
see by the Salem papers that in addi-
tion to having sold and put up large
sixty light machine at the Peniten-
tiary, and machine for Mr.. John
Burns and one for Mr.. Jos. Bernardo,
all of which are giving good satlsfac-
tlon, he has made contract with the
County Commissioners for large
sized machine for the Court House.
Last year 1t cost Marion county nearly
six hundred dollars to light that edlhce
and 1t is calculated that by this ar
rangement the building can be lighted
for one-fourth of the expense.
We learn that Mr.. Howell designs
setting up one Of these machines In
this city at an early day, so our clti-
zens can see how II works.

MEDICAL ADVERTISING. The medical

thoroughly inconsistent and unfair is
such an argument. The men who are

ostentatious display; splendid re residences
with massive door plates fast horres
and costly carriages. DIR. j. Walker,

Tie Apple.

The apple is said to be of eastern
origin. 1t is mentioned in the Bible,
and Herodotus, Piiny, and other ancient
writer's. Many varieties were cultivated
about Rome. More than twenty differ
emit kinds are spoken of by Pltny, but
none of them can be distinguished frnm
his brief descriptions among the valie-
ties now in existence. II is thought
that the Romans introduced the fruit
into England along with the pear bat
We find no mention OF it until after the
establishment of Christianity, when Che
monks planted extensive orchards, end
made the apple common throughout fhe
country. The early settlers of this
country brought over apple trees, apd
ewere aided in the propagation of Tie
fruit by the Indians, who planted mauy
orchards all over New England. In ats
adopted country the apple has attained
to greater perfection than anywhere
else in the world. The census RETURNS
Tor 1870 state the value of the apple
crop at forty-seven millions of dollass.
More than q million of acres are under
cultivation as apple orchards, and tsae
urea of land devoted to this purposeSis
increasing every year. Large quanSi-
ties of American apples are exportedsto
England, to China and the East IndiSs.
The apple tree is byno means handsome,
in a wild or cultivated state.
The shape is irregular, and the bark,
as the tree attains maturity, becomes
and scaly. But nothing can ne
more beautiful than an apple orchard
IN blossom, and landscape painters are
fond of rendering the lovely colors| it
presents. Few trees are moro tenacious
Of life than the apple. The best artsG-
nal varieties last from fifty to eighty
years in good bearing condition, and
many specimens are known in New
nearly two hundred years old
hat still bear fruit. Many of our read
RS know of Grabbed looking old apple
rees off in lonely meadows, where sofne
lalf-illed cellar hole, and perhaps, "a
worm stone doorstep, tell that q FARM
house stood in olden time, whdBe
branches every summer still sus-
ain q goodly load of fruit.
