A Big Canal.

The new canal now being constructed
between Lakes Huron and Superior will
allow the passage of vessels drawing 10
feet of water. The lock will be 800 feet
between the gates, 100 feet wide, A feet
deep, and contain when full nearly 49,
500, 900 gallons of water. Its capacity
will be about twice that of the present
canal, which was constructed in 1870,
and six times that of the first lock built
there in 1855. The cost of the improve
ment is estimated at about S., 600, 900.
The finishing of the work will permit
vast expansion of the commerce between
Superior and the other lakes, which
amounted to $4,000 tons in 1889, and
is estimated to have taken from the rail-
roads within the last few years the car
riage of 200, 200, 900 bushels of wheat,
5000 900 tons of coal, iron ore and cop
per and many thousands of tons of other
Northwestern products. This estimate
is mistake, as without the canal there
would have been no such an amount of
business to be done by the railroads.
Still there can be no doubt that the COM
pletion of the enlarged canal within the
next two years will lmake.the competition
with the rail carrying companies keener
than ever, and probably it will oblige
them to concede further reductions in
rates to meet the offerings by water car
riers during the summer months of the
wear.

railroad Meeting q. Dufur.
DuFuR, Or, May 26, 1s

DUFUR, Or, May 26, 1891.
MRaEDIroR = We had quite lively.
little railroad meeting at this place last
evening. Our people were. called out by
the announcement that Mr.. r. H. Nor
ton of The Dalles and Fossil railroad
project was among us for the purpose of
presenting to our citizens profile of the
survey which has just been completed.
He represents very favorable route,
and an easy grade.
Our people toook lively interest in
his remarks, as we all feel that road
over the route mentioned, is matter
that will benefit US as neighborhood,
and will increase. very materially the
agricultural interests of Wasco county.
that any move that would open up the
interior of our county, and bring us into
direct railroad communication with the
rest of the world, would receive their
hearty support and would in measure
satisfy those for the Disappointment
of the Tygh wagon road.
We hope, Mr.. Editor, that the people
of The Dalles will not SO far neglect, and
forget their own interests, as to allow
this road to be built by outside capital
(Which it will be if left alone, and when
so built branch road will be built to
connect by the Barlow mountain road
with Portland) and thus she will lose
control of the only support that she has
left from the surrounding country. If
there she sleeps on golden opportunities
she sleeps the plethoric sleep of death.

More About Aluminum.

An Indifferent observer might be led to
think that such is the case Many people
have apparently persuaded themselves that
the man of the Twentieth century will not
only discard every other motive power but
life, but that one material likewise will
serve him for every use-that his build
ings, engines, ships, vehicles and utensils,
if not his clothing, will all be of aluminium.
But it will be found, as in many similar
cases, that the popular estimate of the
capabilities of the metal is formed without
strict inquiry as to its limitations.
That it has great utility is not to be dis
puted, but thus far aluminium bronze, con-
sisting of ninety parts copper and ten parts
aluminium, has been found of more prac-
tical value relative to it's cost, and it has
been further ascertained that a very slight
addition of copper greatly increases the
tensile strength of the alloy, with but
trifing increase of the weight.
Meanwhile, we are almost daily informed
of new methods of extracting aluminium
from clay, at such reduced expense that If
lied, it ought speedily-to become cheap
and common instead of a rare and costly
metal 1t Is still quoted at about $1.50 per
pound, but leading producer of aluminium
recently made public very close and de-
tailed estimate showing that even in the
present state of the art, the actual first
cost of the metal, if the business were con-
Quoted on sufficiently large scale, might
be brought as low as twenty cents per
pound.-Mechanical News.

From Centralia paper handed us by
Mr.. Leslie Butler we learn of very sad
accident that occurred at Centralia,
Wash, the other day, which resulted in
the loss o: three lives. The cover of
well was removed and a man named
Benny Perry volunteered to go down by
ladder and measure the depth of water.
After Perry had made the measurement
he commenced TO ascend the ladder again
when he was seen to keel over into the
water. A man named Patrick Byrnes
rapidly rushed down the ladder and
grasped the floating body but in
moment he too, fell over head foremost.
Then a third man named Sonny Ford
made a dash to rescue the two men. He
had barely grasped the bodies and called
for help when he too fell over into the
water. Then a fourth man named Ny
ron Dobson sprang to the rescue. He
had barely time to reach the bodies when
he too fell over. Then fifth man named
Theodore Hass descended the ladder. He
had barely succeeded in catching hold of
Ford when he was forced to come to the
SuIiaCe ior prehIH. iHen d man named
Coonen took his place and with rake
fished Ford to the surface, but he had to
come to the top for air while he still held
on to the rake, thus keeping Ford from
being drowned. Not till then was the
cry of " foul air. raised. A rope was
put around the body of attorney Muir
dock and he went down and fastened an
other rope around Ford. Both were
brought to the surface. Others then
went down in a similar manner each re-
turning i'll a few minutes pale as ghost
The other three bodies were at length
recovered and every known means of
bringing them to life was resorted to but
in vain. Ford alone was restored to life.

improved Bicycle Tre.dIe.

A bicycle treadIe has been designed to
tighten the labor of running machine,
and especially to facilitate the work of fthill
climbing. The treadle increased the lever
age on the crank arms on the downward
stroke, a point which the bicyclist will not
be slow to appreciate. The operator is also
by this arrangement enabled to press down
ward with greater force upon the forward
outer footrest, the leverage being increased
by the distance from the crank spindle to
the outer footrest bar BY this improve
ment the rider can more easily overcome a
dead center, and should the pedal be acci-
dentally dropped it's increased length facili
tates it's recovery.-New York Commercial

= Monday next the three cities at the
mouth of the Willamette will vote on
the question of consolidation-whet
they shall remain three cities or be
fused into one. As the time approaches
the contest thickens and as far as the
newspapers arc concerned the consolida-
tionists have the most to say; but there
is little doubt that the ward politicians
and their strikers are getting in their
work. This class of gentry never resort
to newspapers to effect their purpose
They rely more on money and free
whiskey. Their appeal is not to the
understanding but to passions and appe-
tite. Political bosses who draw the
snug little sum of $10S,OOO year from
the income of two toll bridges neither of
which cost that amount can afford to
spend money freely to retain franchise
endangered by consolidation. We have
seen no argr rmenJs against consolidation
that were worth moments considera-
ton when viewed i'll the light of the ad-
vantages to be derived from it and we
sincerely hope the measure may succeed.

VIII Put on Boats.

General Manager c.. B. Wright, of the
o. & w. T., lines, while talking with a
Union Journal man on Saturday relative
to the work around to be commenced; by
the state of Oregon in the construction
of a portage railroad about the Cascades,
and in answer to questions said that he
believed the proposed POI tage railroad
would undoubtedly result in considera-
Bile good to. the people of the Inland
Empire, directly to the grain producer,
but through him will also benefit ali
classes. Mr.. Wright also felt that this
would supply his road Portland outlet,
without the great expense of construct
ing another railroad down the Columbia
to Portland at present. He said: ''If
the state commissioners of Oregon sue
ceed in constructing portage railroad,
1 shall extend my road from Hunts
Junction to the Coiumbia-a distance of
about two miles-and shall put on
line of steamboats, and barges.' In
this way the o. and w. T., will be able
to not only transport grain to Tacoma
by rail, but also to Portland or the sea
at Astoria by boat and rail.
Three hundred and four men are on
the way from Baker City to the new
