TJ. S. Official Paper for Oregon.
Eastern Oregon. Following is from
the special correspondence of the Orego
nian, announcing the completion of the
Grand Honde .River Canal and the Cath
arine -Creek Ditch, giviog the width,
depth and length of each : -
The Legislature at the session before
the last passed an -act "to improve the
State: In ads in. .Union county, Oregon,"
and commissioners were appointed to su
perintend said work. -, Two separate coo
tracts were let, one for a ditch to drain
Catharine Creek and the other for a ca
nal to turn the channel of Grand Ronde
Tiver, Messrs. Nodine, Perley, Clark and
Welch being the contractors under said
commissioners. The work is completed
. and the civil engineer, Mr. C. M. Fos
ter, has made a full examination of the
work and certifies to the commission that
"the work is all done in accordance with
the agreement," and that "the ditch and
canal are in good condition to receive and
convey water." II is report specifies as
follows :" Length of ditch and canal, 8
miles; average depth of canal, 3 feet;
width of-bottom of . canal, 9 feet; aver
age width of top of canal," 10 60.100
feet ; -average depth of Catherine Creek
ditch, 1J feet; average width, G feet;
cumber of yards of. dirt excavated, 83,
277. The, contractors have built five
bridges, two flumes, and two waste gates.
The canal takes the water of the Grand
Roode river a distance of 41 miles, with
k fall of 2d feet, instead of letting it fol
low the old channel through its various
toeanderings, as is estimated, 50 miles.
You will see that the course of the river
must have been very sluggish, as it had
only .20 feet to fall in 40 or 50 miles.
The fall now is 12 times greater than be
fore, as the canal is to the river bed as
cne to twelve.
Handsome Compliment to Senator Wll- I
. . . , i llama. - t.
This is what the Chicago Tribune says
of Senator "Williams' eulogy upon Fes
senden :
Judge Williams, formerly of Iowa,
now of Oregon, one of tho most sturdy
and splendid natures in Congress, made
a speech scarcely so soft and delicate as
Morrill's, but, as the emanation of a
stronger manhood, even more exhaustive
and interesting. He took the delicate
sketch of Morrill, and added some vigor
ous touches, which made the portrait
bolder, yet in no whit disturbed its truth
fulness. This speech, also, was a sur
prise to me, who, from the daily work of
Williams, had no reason to suspect such
a literary development in him. When
he remarked that Fessenden was "so
careful no! to do wrong that sometimes
he seemed afraid to do right," he stated
in the gentlest, yet truest way, what,
perhaps, was a weakness in his subject;
and this extract was a fine contribution
to memorial biography :
''There was no parado, pomposity or
tinsel about his speeches. French was
his aversion, and in my hearing ho never
made a Latin or poetical quotation.
Greece and Rome he left with his college
exercises, in the classic shades of Bow
doin. Plain, simple and unaffected in
manner and habit, so he was in speech,
and his style wasas pure and transparent
as the water of a New England brook."
Here is a paragraph showing a noble
nature in Williams, as in Fessenden :
"I was a member of two committees
of which he was Chairman, and once
onlv did his anger break out in words
toward me. Believing that a 'friend
should bear his friend's infirmities,' I did
not notice the matter ; but iu a few mo
ments he came and in the kindest and
most apologetic manner expressed Hs
deep regret.
You cannot take to your fireside a
speech from the Latin or Saxon more
worthy of the utterer and the theme
than this of Williams. Its appearance

of the Society to take part in the deliberations of
the Board. The Secretary and Treasurer were
notified that the Board was teady to receive their
report. 11'b. A. Mills made a motion, which
was adopted, that there be no racing allowed
within the fair ground except that authorized by
the Society. The premium list of last year "was
taken op for revision. Toe principal change in
Class 1 was the 1st and 2d premiums on milk
cows, which were raised to $20 and $15. No 10
was added to Class 1, giving a 1st and 2d prem
ium of $50 and $25 for the best and second best
herd of 25 cattle, and 2d best lot of yearlings,
J2 in number, $30 and $15, and 2d best lot of
calves, 10 in number, $20 and $10. But few and
unimportant changes were made in the premium
list as far as it was considered at the time of ad
journment last night.

Democratic Unity. From' all ac
counts the recent session of the Demo
cratic Central Committee at Portland was
not as unanimous as one might expect
Frotn the oft repeated assertions of its
editors and speakers that "Democracy is
a "tunit everywhere." Ben Ilayden, a
man,, familiarly known in Democratic
parlance as "the unwashed," a man who
has always been first and foremost with
his money and on the stump in advocat
ing Democratic principles as he under
stands tLem, was completely snubbed and
("cheked off" by the better dressed (the
aristocracy) politicians. A. prominent
lawyer of Portland, says the Statesman,
who had the temerity to drink a toast to
'Ben. Hayden, the next Governor of

Mk. Stanton's Speech. When
Richmond surrendered, and the hearts of
the people leaped with joy, amass meet
ing at Washington was addressed by many
prominent men, and among others by
Mr. Stanton. His few earnest words,
so eloquent, bo expressive of the
great honest heart that lay under his
brusque manner, so full of a lofty fervor,
will be read with a deep interest to-day,
when the warm heart has ceased to beat,
and the giant brain has ceased to work,
and the unconquerable will no longer
sways the destiny of a nation. The great
patriot, forgetting those who hate him,
stands now before that Great Judice to
whom, iu these warm words, he rendered
thanks for all that he had been able to
do for his country :
Friends and . fellow-citizens : In, this
great hour of triumph, my heart, as well
as yours, is penetrated with gratitude to
Almighty God for his deliverance of this
nation. (Tremendous and prolonged
cheering.) Our thanks are due to the
President, (cheers) to the army and
navy, (cheers) to the great commanders
by sea and land, (cheers) to the gallant
officers and men who have periled their
lives upon the battle-field and drenched
the soil with their blood. (Great eheers )
Henceforth our commiseration and our
aid should be given to the wounded, the
maimed and the suffering, who bear the
marks of their great sacrifices in this
mighty struggle. Let us humbly offer
up our thanks to Divine Providence for
his car. over us, and beseech Him that
He will guide and govern us in our du
ties hereafter as he has carried us for
ward to victory in the past : that He will
teach us how to be humble in the midst
of triumph, how to be just in the hour
or vict. ry, and that tie will enaoie us to
secure tho foundations of this Republic,
soaked as they have been in blood, so
that it shall live forever and ever. (En
thusiastic cheers.) Let us not forget
the laboring millions in other lands who,
in this struggle, have given us their sym
pathies, their aid, and their prayers, and
let us bid them rejoice with us in our
great triumph. Then, having dote this,
let us trust the future to God, who will
guide us, as heretofore, according to His
own good will, (Lioud cheers.)
Sad and Fatal Accident. In the
afternoon of yesterday a very sad ' and
" - - . t. - n
fatal accident occurred in the lamnyoi
Mr. Tracv. who resides in the northern
part of the city, nd is in employ of the
Portland Gas Company. A vessel nnea
with hot water had been left standing on
the porch by a member of the family
who designed using it for scrubbing the
floor. At a moment when no one was
near, a little girl, daughter of Tracy,
fell into the vessel, and before relief came,
was so badly scalded that bhe died in a
few hours. Her suffering from the time
of the accident until death released hvr,
were of the most excruciating and pain

Free Trade at the West. The
Western papers speak of the late free
trade movement in that section as a fail
ure, and say that the meetings telegraphed
over the coun:ry as "grand outpourings
of the masses,", etc, were miserably at
tended. The sturdy yoemaory, of the
West, it seems, have not yet accepted the
heresies of British free-traders. 1 The
utter failure of the movement in this
country, and the growing demand for a
return to protection in France and Eng
land, would indicate that the three great

themselves on one side of this question-

singing in her husband's Oratorio- of
Ruth, at Dresden. The critics say :
