WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 17, 1873.
Republican Candidate.
FOR CONGRESS,
HIRAM SMITH,
OF LISN.
Alexander R. Sheppard has been ap
pointed Governor ot the District of
Columbia, vice H. D. Cook, resigned
On the 10th the President accepted
alxtv-fivc miles of tbe Nortliern Pa
dflc Railroad, in W. T.. recently ex
amined by the Commissioners.
y The California State Board of Equal
Lzation have announced the rate of
taxation for State purposes at five
cents on 100.
Tbe 15th inst. (Monday) was the
time elected by the planters or Cuba
for the final meeting to disttBS tbe
proposition to be submitted to the
Government of Madrid for the abolition
of slavery in Cuba.
A gravel train while crossing Win
chester bridge, between Roseburg aud
Oakland, on the 13th, was thrown
from the track bv a brace which had
slipped from its place, breaking Mr
Hallett's leg, and otherwise injuring
him. A Chinaman was also hurt,
supposed fatally.
Hikah Smith Our candidate for
Congress, is one of the people, has
always been more or less interested
in agricultural pursuits. If elected to
Congress, he will go from the people,
thoroughly understanding their wants,
and will apply himself diligently to
securing them.
An express train which left Vitto-
ria for Madrid Spain, while running at
full speed ran off the track, killing 17
passengers and injuring 70. Scarcely
a person on tbe train escaped injury
The Carlists obstructed tlie track from
Saragossa to Pompolimn, and a train
was thrown from the track, but fortn-
nately no one was injured.
Gov. Booth's reception at San Fran
cisco on the 13th, was a perfect ova
tion. He was received at the ferry-
landlng'by an immense throng of peo
ple with music and transparencies, and
escorted to the Grand Hotel, where he
addressed over six thousand people,
congratulating tliem on the victory of
the anti-monopoly party. Many pri
vate and public dwellings along the
line of march were illuminated.
A case of twenty years' standing,
Involving tbe right to over 40 acres of
land in tbe neighborhood of Areata,
Humboldt county, California, was de
cided by the Secretary of the Interior
on the 12th. The case, as it stood,
was Hinsdale vs. Townsitc of Areata,
and was decided in favor of Hinsdale,
who was held to be entitled to enter
the land under the Homestead Act.
Another instance of the law's delays.
A Horrible Story of the Slave
Trade. A telegram from London on
the 12tb, says that dispatches have
been received at the Adrairality Office
from tbe commander of the British
steam sloop Daplme, announcing the
capture in the Indian Ocean, near tbe
Seycbette Islands, of a slave ship, upon
which there had been terrible suffer
ing. Smallpox had raged ou the ship,
and out ot 300 slaves taken on board
250 had died. The remaining fifty
were terribly emaciated from disease
and want.
The cry was, no more lawyers, no
more doctors, no more professional
politicians give us a loyal, true man
of the people; one whose former life
and personal experience will be a
guarantee that the wants and Interests
of Oregon will be his aim when he
reaches the halls of Congress; one
whose time will not be wasted in con
cocting buncombe speeches, and fixing
up things for a re-election. In Hiram
Smith the people of Oregon have tbe
man demanded by the times; a man of
tbe people; thorough, true, honest,
faithful; a man who is self-reliant be
cause self-taught; a man who has earn
ed all he possesses by his own individ
ual exertions; a man who has never
made a business mistake; whose judg
ment i9 sound ami clear; who has no
vices to get rid of; who stands high In
the estimation ot all in his own home;
whose long and industrious life with
and among the people, enables him to
thoroughly understand and appreciate
their wants and who will work with
an energy and will that knows no de
feat, for their aeeeomplisluueut. We
submit that the nommaiiuii ui suoii a
man was demanded by the times by
the people ; and now that the cry of
the people lias been answered, it only
remains for them to show they were
in earnest by endorsing him.
Balloon Failure.
The Graphic''ii balloon, which was
to leave on a voyage for Europe on
the 12th instant, didn't leave. The
inflation ot this monster balloon had
been continued until about 400,000 feet
of gas had been pumped into it, when
it bursted, letting tin? large body of
gas escape, which nearly smothered
those in close proximity to it. Mr.
Steiner, who had the contract for fill
ing the balloon with gas, said the bal
loon was not made of proper material,
and therefore it would be folly to at
tempt to fill it again. The enterprise
is abandoned for the present. How
ever, a telegram of the 13th says that
"Prof. Donaldson, the aeronaut, who
was to have sailed for Europe yester
in the Graphic balloon, says that im
mediately after the collapse ot the
first experiment Goodsell offered to
begin at once the construction of a
new balloon of silk provided Donald
son would engage to make the Euro
pean trip in it. The offer was accept
ed, and the balloon will probably be
ready for him about the middle of Oc
tober. The car, life-boat and instru
ments which had already been provid
ed will be used. Prof. Wise publishes
card defending the theory of a wes
tern air current, aud announcing his
readiness to start for Enrope at any
time in a gas-tight silk balloon. He
also censures the attempts to turn a
great scientific experiment and enter
prise into a money-getting affair.
ALBANY AM) SASTIAM CANAL.
The Albant and Santiam Canal
Company would respectfully call the
attention of thj public, and especially
the Capitalist, and those desiring' to
engage In manufacturing, to their
gigantic water power and water priv
ilege. Sixteen thousand cubic feet
constantly flowing every minute, equal
to 800 horse power, with from 8 to 30
feet fall, sufficient for the most exten
sive machWry, with ground on which
to erect the necessary buildings, etc.
The Company deem it but proper that
me puoiio siioum know more tuny tne
locality of this great water power, its
facilities and surroundings, in order
that those unacquainted may form
some estimate of its value.
The city of Albany i the county-seat
of Linn county, located on the south
east bank of the Willamette river,
about 100 miles south of Portland, by
river, and SO miles by railroad; south
Of Salem 45 miles by river and 30 miles
by railroad, and north of Eugene City
45 miles.
Albany is located In a prairie of the
same name, which is the great agricul
tural center of the Willamette Vcy,

The Olyrapia Courier says: "Tbe
tanners of this portion of the Territory
are menaced with a serious blow to
their prosperity, The quantity and
quality of the potato crop have al
ways been our boast, but now the
rot lias made its appearance In Pa
cific and Ohehalis counties, and in
many places the crop Is almost an en
tire failure. The vines grow luxu
riantly until tbe potato Is nearly ripe,
when they begin to show signs of
blight near the root, and In a week
Ike whole vine will be dead". The
Tbe tuber then stops its growth, and
soon begins to decay.
The Board of Health announce the
iresence of yellow fever in Memphis.
The Columbia Conference of the M.
E. Church South, met at Brownsville.
Oregon, September 3d, and adjourned

Bishop Doggett presided to the sat
isfaction of all.
There was an advance in all the in
terests ot the church ; never were the
prospects so good.

M. Belmontet, the well-known Par
isian Ex-Deputy, was recently waited
upon by one Boulplquante, who drew
a revolver and menaced M. Belmontet
with instant death if he did not sign
three drafts, payable to his order, for
4,000 francs. M. Belmontet signed
one of the documents, and persuaded
Boulplquante to call on the next day
for the others. Meanwhile, of course,
the ruffian was arrested.
The new Catholic Cathedral of St.
Patrick at Armagh, Ireland, which
has been some 30 years in die course
ot erection, and has already cost about
$360,0001$, now completed.
ind it is believed that upward of 500,
000 bushels of surplus wheat will be re
ceived at that point, the present season.
The most of it will find its way to tor
pi,, .. cither by boate or rail
road to Portland, and from thence up
on the ocean. The Willamette river
is navigated by beautiful steamers,
carrying from 80 to 300 tons, running
as far as Albany some ten months in
the year. Also, the O. & C. R. R ,
with its beautiful locomotives, is pass
ing through the city daily. The city
ot Albany is located upon a high, roll
ing prairie, with the Calapooia, a beau
tiful creek, flowing into the Willamette
river on the wen, the water of which
is used in driving two large flouring
mills, situated on the bank of the Wil
lamette river. The city Is about one
mile in length, running east and west,
and from one-half to three-fourths
of a mile in width, and is laid off with
streets of good width.
The Canal, wlik! k the subject and
object of this communication, receives
its' waters from the South Santiam
river, which heads in the great Cascade
mountains, some 75 miles east of
Albany ; theuot running westerly
through a valley of the same name, to
Lebanon, a village located near the
west bank of saul river, 13 miles east
of, Albany. The Canal receives the
waters from tie Santiam river at that
point, thence miming west to its ter
minus at Aloa iy. The main .santiam
flows northward, and empties its
mountain watirs into the Willamette
river 10 miles northeast of Albany
The Canal is krought from Lebanon
through n beautifulpralrio for a dis
tance of 12 miles, and empties into the
Willamette river, forming on its way
and in the city s-oile of the finest water
powers for manufacturing purposes
found on the Partno coast. Ihere are
but tew, if any, points in the State
which surpasses Atony now, for man
ufacturing facilities. Cheap water
power aud easy of (lccess, and conven
ient transportation, either by water or
railroad, and the location beautiful and
healthy
The Canal Company offers liberal
inducements to persons desiring to en
gage in the business of manufacturing.
and will furnish water power upon the
most reasonable terms. M.iuiitactur-
uigofall kinds Is needed in Oregon,
and could be made profitable. The
Canal Company will agree to furnish.
within sixty days, any water power
needed, irom a mittoii factory to that
ot a locomotive.
Immigrants and others are earnestly
liiviteu and requested to visit Albany
and examine for themselves. Real
property can yet be procured on very
reasonable terms, both in and out of
the city. Our people compare favor
ably with the rest of mankind, morally
socially, politieally and financially.

"Can Such Things Be," etc.
Elizabeth Stewart Phelps, in the In
dependent, speaking of fashions, shoots
her mouth off thnsly: "Suppose, In
short, that by one subtle, strong coup
d'etm the thinking woman of America
could make it fashionable to dress like
rational creatures!" She proposes a
conspiracy of '-seven hundred, perhaps
a thousand women," and that the lead
ers of the "Republican Court" shall be
"let into the secret," with "Mrs.
Grant for our President, and Mme.
kDemorest for onr committee on de
sign." She says that dress skirts shall
be shortened from four to six inches,
that the bias waist and corset shall
give way to plaited gamp, that cloth
ing shall be suspended from the shoul
ders, etc. Then she has a new issue:
"Does either the essential modesty of
feminine nature or the safety of society
require drapery below the i.nees?"
