I'urlland Oregonlsn', June 4. "J. S. Howard, a well-known sur veyor of Juokson County, Is In Port land perfecting the preliminary sur vey of the canal about to be built on the north side of Kogue river by the Uold Hill High Line Ditch Company, recently incorporated by Portland business men and capital ists, with a capital stock of I6IXI,- 000. Mr. Howard, who is at the Ksmond, has just completed cross sectioning tbe first three miles of the canal, which is to tap Kogue river at tbe falls, 40 miles above Gold Hill. The aqueduct ia 14 feet wide at the top, eight feet at the bottom, and will have a depth of six feet. It is to oarry 10,000 miners' iuobes of water lor use in washing the gold from 5000 acres of placer ground in the vicinity x( the first section, but tbe canal will ultimately be oarried on down past the towns of Gold Hill, Woodville and Grants Puss, an additional distanoe of 60 miles. There are many rich diggings under the proposed line which have to bo abandoned for nine months of the year on account of lack of water, but this ditch will enable them to operate tbe year round. '. The Una will pass around on tbe hillsides above tbe Dry .Diggings section tl ree miles south of Grants Pass, and reach tbe latter point at an elevation of 450 feet .- above the town proper. h "W herever the hillsides are too steep to cut the ditch on, flumes of ample capacity are to be ruu. In crossing gulches two pipe lines are contemplated, the ptpe to be 38 inches in diameter, crossing in tbe form of inverted syphons. This pipe will be procured m Portland, as was that used by tbe Huntington Lewis pipe liue on the Grave creek placer mines in Josephine County. At one point in crossing two gulches 8000 feet of pipe are to be laid down, and this will Bave digging 20 miles of ditch. But t vo parallel lines of pipe are contemplated now, as more lines can be laid when a larger sup ply of water becomes necessary. The company has obtained owner ship of the full river at the falls, according to the rule of riparian rights, and tht- water can all be turned into Rogue river again after having been used in supplying motors or tor irrigation. "The Immediate construction of this canal will be hailed with de light by the people along its route, as it will cause an immense region, now dry and barren, to blossom as tbe rose. The crying need of the Rogue river valley has long beeu an abundance of water, and many pro jects have been conceived during the Inst 15 years for the purpose of obtaining it. Lack ot capital and reluctance ol the people themselves toward qomblning for t .e purpose, have boon tbe- causes of delay in bringing reiiet. : JNow that ampie capital is assured, Mr. Howard says, tbe work will proceed at once and Will not be allowed to rest until it is finished.' ; "Another canal, he says, is pro jeoted along the south side of Rogue river, tapping Little Butte at tbe junotion of the north and south forks, and Big Butte at the falls, 25 miles above Medford. This ditch will be noarly 100 miles long, and will supply the town of Medford with water at a strong pressure, be sides irrigating many farms in the upper Kogue river vulloy and open ing up numerous promising placer mines in tne Williams oreek and Applegate localities. Boston capital ists, Mr. Howard says, are at the bottom of this project, and - he ex pvets to take the field in a prelim' inary survoy this Bummer.-1 , For sulo nt hum- -1" KC-1 tti m uince tudnlin. -oue top HAD SOME PRIPS HIMSELF.

It was shown that from an engineer ing point of view the Suez canal was impossible, while from a commercial point of view It wu proved up to the hilt that, even If the canal could be made, it would, so far as traffic went, be a failure as mijfcpichory to the phi lanthropist as it f&u'd be diKastrouv to tbe investor, uJufy tht Engineering Magnzlne. -Jt ' , Tbe great authorities who spoke with so much assurance are all dead, and it ia well for their comfort that they ara. ; . ..... , In 186 traffic between th west and the east via the Cape of Uood Hope was about 3. 500.000 tons. In 1897 the traf fic through Hie Hues canal was 7.S98,- 981 tons, while that round ihe Cape of Good Hope was at lesst,75Q,00O tons. In other worda, one direct-ret'tU of the construction of the Suez canal baa been that in 28 years tbe commerce of the world has been increased 8,000,000 tons annually, . It la hardly necessary to add that the return tit the Investor who rioked hia money in what seemed to so many to be a hare-brained project ha been, to say the least of it, of a fairly satisfac tory character.
