THE DArlAI.E HI.HillT.
A Break In (ho Mull or (lift Canal
Stops Narlgiitlon.
The Pacific ISriilye Company ia bniM
inican cxti'Deion to tho electric power
1 1 on mi on tho wcHt iirje of the rivor and
tin! cxcuVHtlon for the foundation ex
Uiii'leil unilor tho canal, wcaliniiiK that
B trm turn mo that tho decayed timW
were uncqiinl U the Htrain of aupportini
the hottuui itnd wall, and ihvo wayj
Kaniriluy afl;rnom. The atjamer
KiiKi'iiH waa pHHairiK through the canal
and wan alni'M ihrcaat of the break
when the wall gave way. Six men were '
working jiiHt in front of and below the I
breakink' tiinter, but there wan
i millicient warnlmt for the men to uet at
I a Bafu diMance before tho fl'l riiahcd
through and tho Hleamer succeeded In
, K-ttin Hufely through the hx'k.
The water carried away car track I and
; other tnuiorary utructurea tiBed in build-
iiiK the power bonne extencion, iiea
and (lumen connecting the paper mills
and dome timber", etc.
The damage ia not aerioua but will
prevent the pannage of boats through
the locks or the operuling of the mills
i deriving water power from the canal for
several days.
j A half hour More the accident the
! stcainera Modoc, Khuore and Kugone
and the bii derrick acow of the construc
tion company were all in the canal to
gether. Had the break orcurrd then it
would have been iuipoHnible for all the
venue In to have encaed uninjured and
perliui reunited in the Ions of life.
Junt before the break occuired the
Kugene had unloaded a quantity of lum
ber for, thu construction company and
wan junt about ready to move a short
di-dunce atxive to put off ) tons of ce
ment for the company, when the alarm
wan given that the canat was giving
way. ('apt. Joel V. Geer ran up into
the pilot lioune and the crew threw off
the lines instantly and by backing under
a full head of steam the boat was pulled
way from the powerful suction caused
by the water rushing through the break.
This rush of water through tke break
caused an up-stream current to set In in
the canal, which enabled Capt. Ureer to
get his boat into the first lock without
the usual delay Incident to opening the
gates. As noon as the Eugene was in
the lock the upper gate was closed and
there was water enough for the safe pas
sage of the boat into the lower river. So
rapidly did the water run out of the canal
that the Kugene could barely scrape over
the sill into the lock and had Capt
Geer been half a minute later his vessel
would probably have grounded on the
sill and broken in two.
It was not to exceed eight minutes
from the time the first alarm was given
until the canal was dry.
It was the intention of the the com
pany to draw the water from the canal
Sunday, when the mills would not be
using it, and put new bits under the
canal and strengthen the wall.
For Embeiieliaent.
Cans U. Rat low, of Burlow, was ar
rested Saturday by Constable McCown,
on complaint made before Mayor II.
Straight by Henry Will, one of the stock
holders of the late Barlow-Will Mercan
tile Company, charging htm witherabez
xoling xl.000 within tho last three years,
when he was bookkeeper and cashier of
the corporation, Mr. Barlow appeared
before the mayor and gave bonds for his
appearance Tuesday at 11 o'clock in tho
sum of $4,000 with George A. Harding,
Henry Meldrum and C. li. Noblett as
sureties. When the case was called
Tuesday morning a continuance was
taken until this (Friday) morning in or
der to give District Attorney Cleeton a
chance to be present, as it is understood
that tho jurisdiction of the mayor in
such suits will be called in question.
This suit is the outgrowth of the
trouble that brought the Barlow corpora
tion into the courts lust August, when J.
P. Cole was appointed receiver of the
concern on the application of Mr. Will.
A receiver's sale of the property was
held Saturday, when the merchandise
stock valued at $3,1)00 was sold to Adolph
Wolf Son, of Silverton.forfl ,700; notes
and accounts to the amount of $2,800 to
Frederick Teter. who lives near Barlow,
for $450; and the fixtures, valued at 00
to William Barlow, for $00.
A Prosperous Year.
The venr now closing has been one of
marked prosperity for the Young Men's
Christian Association. The annual re
port will be published as soon as the fig
ures lor December can be secured. The
board is working hard to close np the
year with all bills paid and are meeting
with hearty cooperation among the
members and friends of the institution.
At the last regular meeting the report of
the treasurer showed that $250 were
needed to pity up all bills to January 1,
187. A canvass was begun at once and
has been pushod since and will be con
tinued until the entire amount is secured.
One of the settled principles ol the asso
ciation is that no debts shall bo carried
over to cripple the work of the new
year. The following statement shown
the mount of money that has been
handled this year to date ; also the in
debtedness to lie met January I. 18!)7:

fest an interest is by contributing some
thing to carry it on.
HOW THE VOTE IS CAST.
Presidential Electors Will Meet la
Nalem January II.
The four republican presidential elec
tors chofcen by the people of Oregon at
the late election will met at Salem, on
January 11, 1G'J7, at noon, and officially
cast theii vote for president and vice-
president of the United states.
Under legislative enactment of this
state, passed 30-odd years ago, the first
Wednesday of December immediately
following a presidential election was the
time set for the electors to meet at the
state capital, and at the noon hour de
posit their votes, each elector receiving
$3 for each day of service, and an addi
tional $3 for every 20 miles traveled in
order to be at the designated place.
The national law takes presidency over
the state, and, under its direction, the
vole by states is made uniform. The
greatest precaution is taken concerning
the result of the vote of electors in each
state, after it has been settled. The
chief executive of the state certifies to
the secretary of state of the United
States the result' of the vote, the number
of votes cast, and for whom. A certifi
cate of election is also issued to the
several electors, under seal of the stale,
and duplicate copies sent one by mail to
the president of the United States senate
the other deposited with the judge of the
district court in which the vote of the
electors was cast.
One of the four electors in Oregon will
be chosen to act as messenger, and take
the vote of the stato to Washington.
Each of the four electors, no doubt,
would like to go, not only for the honor
the trip carries with it, but also because
the fortunate one chosen will receive
about $7(0 mileage, the government
allowing the messenger 10 cents a mile
each way. Mr. T. T. Geer has thus
early indicated his desire to be the one
to carry the four votes of Oregon to the
national capital, with good prof pects that
he will be given the honor.
GHOST DANCE.
Reproduction of Indian Mjsterlons
Riles at WeluharU'a Hall.
The Redmen of Oregon City have been
fortunate in procuring the talent and
obtaining the paraphernalia to properly
reproduce this strange spectacular scene,
its silent, weird mystic spell is in strange
contrast to all other Indian dances, the
peculiar inductive gyrations of the
Messiah, the unearthly visitation of the
ghost, the circle of grim stoical warriors
as they reluctantly join in the silent
ghostly dance as well as the wonderful
mechanical light effects will produce a
spectacular phantasma long to be re
membered. Masque ball Christmas night,
street parade Christmas night.

PI1AF0KE.
Its SDccfful Presentation by Local
Talent on Thiirtday Night.
Local talent rarely achieves greater
success than did the ladies and gentle
men who presented the comic opera
"Pinafore" at Shively's opora house
Thursday evening to a large and enthn
aiaitic audience. The setting of the
stage scenery was magnificent and when
the curtain rose a scene unique and
pleasing was presented to the eye. Vf.
II. Hurghardt, as the Rt. Hon. Sir.
Joseph Porter, K. C. B., first lord of the
adinirality, bore his honors with becom
ing dignity and acted out his pait to)
perfection (and ''this is an official opin
ion") while his singing was received with
rapturous applause. Miss Mattie
Draper as Hebe, Sir. Joseph's first
cousin, supported him admirably and
sang very sweetly and acceptably. Guy
Phillips, as Captain Corcoran, command
ing II. M. S. Pinafore, made a very
digni3ed officer and was a favorite with
the audience. Willis Haynes, as Ralph
Rackslraw, able seaman, possesses a
very sweet and well modulated tenor
voice and his acting was good. Charles
Pope, as Dick Deadeye, able seaman
brought down the bouse with his gro
tesque appearance and comic actions.
Mrs. Alex Thomas, as Little Buttercup,
a bum boat woman, sustained her char
acter well. Mrs. J. II. Strieker, as
Josephine, the captain's daughter, while
having perhaps the most difficult role to
sustain, sang in her peculiar, y pleasing;
manner and received merited applause
whenever she appeared upon the stage.
Rae Norris, as Bill Bobstay, boatswain,
Evan Williams, as Bob Bec-ket, boat
swain's mate and Ivan Strizkler, as Tom
Tucker, midshipmite, were all good, as
indeed were "his sisters and his cousins
and his aunts."
Among the particularly pleasing fea
tures were the captain's solo, the duet by
Little Buttercup and the captain, the
trio by Josephine, Sir Joseph Porter
and the captain and when the girls all
came tripping in.
The presentation was under the
direction and leadership of Mrs. J. II
Strickler, with Miss Beatrice Barlow,
accompanist. Mrs. Strickler is to be
congratulated on the very successful
presentation of this difficult opera.
By special request the play was re
peated Saturday night to a very good
bouse considering the inclemency of the
weather.
Stanford Students.
The students of Stanford University
are supplementing the Thanksgiving foot
ball victory by sending their glee and
mandolin clubs on a triumphal tour of
the Coast, going as far north as Victoria
and Vancouver, making ono of the long
est tours ever attempted by an American
college organization. Numerically, the
aggregation is one of the largest on tha
road The glee club includes sixteen
men, and the mandolin club twelve
men, besides soloists and specialists.
No collegiate club west of Philadelphia
presents a program of equal variety.
Walter Camp, the father of American
football and the best informed college
man in the country, places the Stanford
clubs on the same plane with the famous
musical and specialty clubs of old Yale.
The use of the name Stanford is the
only advertisement the clubs need.
During the past year the university has
been more prominently before the public
in a variety of ways, and has attracted
wider attention in educational, legal,
and athletic circles, than any other
university in the land. The decision of
the United States supreme court, the
prominence of Stanford professors in
literary circles, the recent achievements
of the students in football, baseball and
on the track, make Stanford a household
word : and many persons will come to
see and bear these handsome young;
fellows more on account ot w hat they
represent than of what they can do.
It is needless to say that Stanford
needs no introdution in this vicinity.
She already has won the loyalty of our
people, and harbors within her classic
walls many of our boys and girls. The
clubs, on former tours, established them
selves so favorably in musical and social
circles, that their reappearance will be
heralded with pleasure. A large house
and warm reception will greet them.
Their engagement here will be the event
of the holiday season. They play one
night at Shively's Opera house, Thurs
day, December 31st.
Estray.
From Oregon City on December 11,

front feel, 12 years old, weighs about
1000 pounds. Anyone knowing the
whereabouts of said described animal
will please notify J. B. Taylor, Ely.
