the canal, but might soon be so much
Of a canyon that it would give a new
engineering problem to get across it,
Where the incline is SO nearly perpen-
dlcular no chance of a break must be
left. Accordingly an automatic spill
way is provided, so that when the
water reaches a certain height in the
ditch the rise of the water alone raises
a water gate and the surplus goes ca
reenlng down a channel prepared for it.
The second device referred to is that
WHEREBY a stream crossing the path OF
the ditch is led harmlessly over it, but
contributes water in so far as such con-
%trlbution Is needed. The method adopt
ed was ~ lead the stream over the
ditch. The ditch follows the side of the
ravlne until it intersects the water
course. Then fluming is pushed back
to bedrock in the streams course. and
IL IS made to jump the ditch. Right
over the ditch is placed a grating of
heaVy tlmbers so inclined that rocks
ana drlftWood do not lodge, but are
washed over without resistance, while
the water flows through the grating
INTO the ditch. This lands the debris
lar down the mountain side, but saves
me precious water, or so much of it as
the n is able to carry at a given
time.
When, after more than two years of
WORK, the canal was finished in 1894, It
was found to deliver into Chambers
lake a constant flow of water of 1872
cubic feet per second. The value of
llls water was SO great that the canal
paid for itself the first season after its
completion.

A HORSELESS CARRIAGE FACE,
Awful Visase That VIII Surpass tho
Bicycle Face.

Awful Visase That VIII surpass tho
Bicycle Face.
The bicycle face" will now yield the
palm to that awful visage known as the
horseless-carriage face" in the esti-
nation of an ob%seryant correspondent
OF the Pittsburg Dispatch. That ex-
preston known as the bicycle face"
IS caused by anxiety, apprehension and
actual dread lest the owner run over
somebody. 1t is brought about by
anxiety lest some bad accident occur,
apprehension that the rider may be the
victim, and positive, downright dread
that some else may be injured. These
varying and powerful emotions. con.
stantly playing upon a sympathetic
soul, are reflected through ocular and
nervous lines in the countenance tech
n1cally known as the bicycle face"
This cast of countenance, brought
ABOUT by the most humane emotions
OF a sympathetic soul and reflected
through the mirror of eyes and ex-
preston, is the opposite of that glare
soon to become known as the 'horse-
Miscarriage face" When the modern
moloch is in full operation the face of
the rider undergoes an awful change.
The lines of the mouth become set,
rigid, immovable and stonily grim
just the opposite of the sympathetic
bicycle face, in that it reflects a de-
termination that if anybody is killed
it won't be the owner of the "horse-
less carriage face" There is also a look
of fear-not fear hat he may run down
somebody but fear that he won't. The
eyes have a fixed and steely glare,
while over the whole %saturnine face is
the impress Of horror, a faint but ever
present shadow that shows the mod
ern moloch is impelled to pursue his
work of devastation by some potent
hellish power. Once seated on this
powerful engine of destruction, with
a firm grip on the lever, even the fair
est countenance takes on some attrib-
utes Of this '"horseless carriage face"

OF. & Poo, S Branch House
The Salem Company Opens Up in
Albany.

J. NJ. Kyle. manager Of the Oregon
Fruit & Produce Co., was called to
Albany yesterday, by some Of the
leading fruit growers, and induced to
establish a branch business at that
point. A warehouse was rented, and
large supply of boxes and other
packing material telegraphed for, as
we'll as corps of expert packers to
come from California. Fruit will be
received forthwith and by next week
some shipments will be made.
This transaction speaks volumes for
the Salem company, and will no
doubt prove of mutual benefit to both
The excellent results so far achieved
by Mr.. Kyle's company, for this
years fruit has attracted the atten-
ti0n of wide awake growers who are
loath to take chances on turning their
crop over to irresponsible parties.
They secure in this manner the bene-
fit of continued experience with Ore
gon fruit in the largest markets Of the
land. The fact that Mr.s VanEaton,
who is the pioneer fruit shipper of
the Willamette valley, is right at
Chicago, looking after the shipments
made by this company, is an ad-
vantage that all who know his quail
fications are anxious to profit by. With
Mr.. Kyle to direct matters here and
supervise all packing, which is done
by experienced, trained men, and also
seeing the fruit properly stored IN re-
frigerator cars, and with Mr.. Van
Eaton at the other end Of the line, it
looks as though the fruit from this
section was receiving about the best
handling possible.
The prices received for all ship
ment so far made have been entirely
satisfactory to the growers, and
gratifying to Mr.. Kyle. There has
been no change in the market, and it
is safe to say that the fruits now en-
route from here and being shipped
will bring good princes.
