The Feeding Canal for the Great Elec-
tricity Factory at Niagara.

The power plant proper consists first
of an inlet canal situated about mile
and half up the river from the Ameri-
can falls. This canal is really great
reservoir into which the water backs.
The opening, or great gates, are placed
not at the upper, but at the lower, end,
the end nearest the falls. This was
done because the engineers believed
that the current would be too strong if
the water was admitted directly from
the river. 1t therefore goes in by a
back flow. The canal will always be
full. No drouth, no frost of winter has
ever occurred so severe as to interfere
materially with the fowsof water over
Niagara's brink. Into the canal or cut
gateways of massive masonry, each con-
trolled by heavy gate, and connected
with enormous shafts, or penstocks, of
iron and steel, some of them of diane
ter as great as seven feet. Through
each shaft may be delivered continu-
GUS force of water equivalent to from
two thousand to five thousand horse
power. Those that turn the turban
wheels which keep the massive machin-
cry of the paper mill in motion, deliver
three thousand six hundred horse
power. The total capacity of the canal
is one hundred thousand horsepower
and it will be possible to SO increase the
capacity of this and other plants con-
trolled by the parent and allied compa-
MES that ultimately there may be cap
tured from Niagara Falls as much as
four hundred and fifty thousand horse

varieties, suitable for the table, for wine
or for raisins, that would compare favor
ably with grapes in any part of the
world. He also has a large apple or
chard loaded with the best varieties of
this staple fruit. There are also cherry
trees that, the judge informed us, were
loaded this season. Besides all these,
quite large plat is in Strawberries
We also saw black walnuts and English
walnuts growing side by side, vegata-
bles, flowers and shrubbery. What
struck us most forcibly was the great
variety, and each one growing as though
the soil and climate were especially
adapted to that particular one. The
judge contemplates making large addi-
tions to his already extensive plant.
We are now more than ever convinced
that the valleys of the Columbia are
specially adapted to fruit culture, and it
is only q question of time when this
great country will not only be the gran
ary of the United States, but will sup.
ply the millions with the finest favored,
best appearing and most delicious of
fruits.-Arlington Record.

THE MARKETS.

FRIDAY, Sept. 21.-There is no change
in the general markets since last week.
Eggs are quoted at Is cents and chick
ems from $3.50 to $3.50 per dozen, ac-
cording to size.
Butter is plentiful, and is quoted at
from 45 to 80 cents per roll.
The potato market is unchanged,
ranging from so to 65 cents per 100 lbs.
Fruit of all kinds is plentiful, and prices
nominal.
Wheat is coming in abundantly, but
the market is tending towards lower
prices, some being sold as low as 81 cts.
per bushel. The wheat conditions as
reported by the department of agricul-
ture are generally good, the falling of
in total yield being caused by the un-
precedented heat in some sections. At
present the outlook for wheat is dis
couraging, and any change in price will
be for the worse.
The wool marketis is somewhat stronger.
Many American buyers are seeking the
English markets, but it is thought that
our woods being now in competition
with the world, have reached their low
est point, and any change will be for the
better

Portland's city council has passed a

There is a wonderful unanimity of opin-

Mr.. David Creighton and his daughter,
while on their way to town Wednesday,
met with an accident that came near re-
sulting seriously. They were riding to
town on a load of wheat when from some
cause they slipped off, falling in front OF
the wheels. At the same time sack of
wheat fell in front of one of the hind
wheels and this stopped the team. If it
had not been for this the wagon would
have run over them.
According to Joseph Murray, fish
commissioner for Alaska, the birds and
foxes are being exterm1nated. The pro-
cess comes as near being perpetual mo-
ton as anything yet mentioned. He
says the hunters poison the foxes for
their skins. Then the birds eat the
poisoned foxes and die. Other foxes eat
the poisoned birds, and die, other birds
eat the other poisoned foxes and they
die and there you have it the genuine
circulating medium of strychnine.
