Ben Ilalladay is using all available
means for the expeditious construction of
this road. C STral miles of road are
graded and ready for track-laying, which

The time said labor necessary to ' bridge
the Santiam river may cause so great

city by the first of January next, but all
due diligence will be used to accomplish
that rresultr The firaV estimates made
with regarflo the bridge across the San

'completion of the road to : this point.

Tbe Santiam. Canal. . 1
The project of. bringing water from
the Santiam liver into this city by means
of a canal or diteh, has been brought up
for the consideration of this community,
m different shapes, by different parties,
quite a number of times in the last few
years. All agree that such an improve
ment would greatly advance the interests
of this city in every point of view, but
the cost of putting it through successfully
has hitherto deterred parties from engag
ing in the undertaking. Just previous
to the opening pf the late 'political can
vass, articles of incorporation were filed
by : gentlemen of this city, with the de
clared purpose ot constructing a water
ditch from the Santiam river to this city ;
but the June election, following so soon
after these preliminary steps had been
taken, entirely and thoroughly "washed
out" the ditch question, and no further
steps have been taken, that we are aware
of, by these gentlemen, in the matter.
This canal project, in our opinion, is
paramount' to all others, and of far greater
and more general benefit than even the
completion of the railroad, although that
is a consummation devoutly to be wished
by Albanians. If the success of this
enterprise bad been assured one year ago,
we would never have been compelled to
pay a bonus to induce the railroad to
make Albany a point on its line, because
the assurance of a water ditch, affording
cheap power for ten times the amount of
machinery now used, would produce such
immediate and enlarged prosperity in our
midst as could not be overlooked ; and
passed with indifference by such corpo
ration. '
Other parties, however, outside of the
Albany gentlemen referred to above, at
onoe seeing the advantages to arise from
the construction of such a work to the
city and county, and the large and con
stantly increasing income that would be
pocketed by the successful undertakers,
have interested themselves so far as to
survey and locate the line of a diteh, and
approximate its cost. Mr. Unthank, the
engineer entrusted with the survey, etc.,
gives the length of the ditch, from the
point on the Santiam river, where the
water enters the ditch, to Mr. Smead's.
short distance frdta the city, at about
eleven miles. In this distance there is a
fall of between ninety-five and one hund
red feet more, than enough for all prac
tical purposes. The estimated cost is
less than half the price heretofore given
by parties who have estimated upon sim
ilar work. -J'-: .-
. We are authorized to say that a party
now in this city stands ready to insure
the completion of a ditch conveying water
from the. Santiam . to this city, whenever
the sum of $20,000 is guarantied to him ;
or, if necessary, so confident is he 1 that
the enterprise will prove,' pecuniarily, of
the greatest profit, he . will take $5,000
worth of stock in the enterprise, if onr.
citizens will take the balance $15,000.
It seems to us that a matter of so
much interest to our citizens generally
as. this is acknowledged to be, should not
be long debated. The amount of money
necessary to secure its construction is
small indeed compared to the immediate
and lasting benefits arising' from it, and
our citizens should need no urging to at
once put it to a successful issue. If the
necessary preliminaries weie immediately
arranged and the stock subscribed, the
canal could be completed to this city be
fore tbe railroad, as there is a possibility
that the latter desirable event will not
occur before the early part of 1871.' Let
our capitalists, bur mill men, ourmer
chants, and all who are interested in the
future growth and prosperity of Albany,
canvass this matter thoroughly, and we '
have not the slightest doubt that all will
be convinced that this enterprise is of the
first magnitude, of greater and more per
manent interest to this community than
any project yet offered for consideration.
Now is the time to act, and if we would
secure the benefits that would assuredly
be brought about by the completion of
the work', we must not procrastinate."
An Ex-Delegate Killed. - The
death of ex-Delegate, K. D. Holbrook, of
Idaho Territory, at his residence in Idaho
City, by Charles Douglass, on the evening
of June 17th, is announced.! Politics
caused the killing. "Both were members
of the Democratic partv. ' Holbrook was
a lawyer by profession, and was honored
by the election ; as ! Idaho Territory's
Delgate to Congress on two occasions.
Douglass is a "sport."? At last accounts
Douglass was occupying the jail, but the
general impression seemed to be that he
would be acquitted, Following is the
statement of the affair as given in the
Boise Statesman of the 21st :
: On Saturday about 8 1 o'clock, at Idaho
City, a shooting affair took place between
Charles Douglass and Mr. ' Holbrook,
which resulted in the death of the latter.
There are a great many rumors afloat,
somewhat contradictory in their purport,
but as far as we can learn, it appears that
Mr. Holbrook was sitting in front of his
law office, adjoining Dr. Belknap's drug
store, when he was approached by Doug
lass, who asked him if he' (Holbrook) had
called him a coward." Holbrook replied
in the affirmative, when Dourlass drew
his. revolver and fired, the ball taking
effect in the lower portion of the abdomen
of Mr, Holbrook.: Mr. H. immediately
jumped upon his feet, drew his revolver
and fired at Douglass, who retreated
around the corner followed by Holbrook.
A number of shots passed through the
bow window of the drug store, completely
demolishing everything. In all, about
ten shots were fired. Douglass escaped
unhurt. Another account states that the
first firing by the parties was simultane
ous : Still another, that Holbrook fired
the first shot. Holbrook survived the
wound about twelve hours, retaining his
consciousness to the' last moment, and
expressed his satisfaction at failing to hit
Douglass.' The funeral was to have taken
place yesterday at 5 P. H., with Masonic
honors, of which Order he was a mem

Rumored.- Our neighbor last week
published a rumor to the effect that Ben
HoUaday had asked an extension of the
time in which to complete the Oregon &
California Railroad to this city, from our
citizens, at the same time insinuating the
belief that the said road never would be
completed. Of course insinuations of
this character from such a source, are
not calculated to advance the best inter
ests of bur city to any immoderate extent.
In fact quite the reverse of a spirit of
buoyancy and confidence in the prosperity
and advancement, to result "from the
completion of this railroad enterprise to
this community, is engendered. ' And
what has caused this sudden and unlooked
for attempt to dampen the energies of 'our
people and stop improvements inaugurat
ed or contemplated under the new order
of things ? . S11nply because it is believed
that Ben HoUaday was in favor and used
his influence as a freeman tolect Re
publicans to office. Because Ben HoUa
day exercised the right to use his influ
ence for whom he pleased in the late
election," this harrow-minded and bigoted
sheet would do everything in is power
to injure and retard an improvement
which is of the most vital importance to
the whole State, no matter if, while doing
this,' the growth and prosperity of our
city and county is retarded beyond com
putation. 'But wb are glad to know that
there are Democrats in Linn county who
are not so full ef the gall and wormwood
of partisanship that. they are willing to
see the interests of our city and State
destroyed for the sake of gratifying a
spirit of party malice, who condemn, in
the strongest terms, the conduct of their
sheet, and threaten a "reconstruction" if
it is persisted in. ' "
In a proclamation dated Juno 6th,
Gov. Holden, of North Carolinaset8 forth
an appalling list of outrages committed
by the kuklux in that State during May,
and the worst or it is tne perpetrators are
still at large and are likely to remain so,
though the Governor offers a reward for
the discovery and arrest ot any one of
them. The proclamation sets forth that,
during the month, a State Senator was
murdered in open dayligh in a county
court house; a colored man was murdered
at night ; twenty -one persons, both white
and colored, were "cruelly whipped, and
scourged ;" two colored women outraged;
a colored man shot; .another drowned ;
two white men murdered, besides many
being wounded and otherwise injured by
the destruction of their property, and a
State Senator compelled to fly from the
district to save hia life. How shall we
harmonize this official statement with the
claim so often made, that life and property
are as saf at the South as at the North.

A New Story on Tom Corwin.
Don Piatt, in one : of his Washington
letters, relates the following . anecdote
illustrating the politeness and humor of
the late Tom Corwin, of Ohio:
He arrived at Dayton, Ohio, late one
night, very tired from a long stage ride'
during the day. The great humorist
and statesman retired to bed, observing
as he. did so that some one occupied
another bed in the opposite corner. The
Honorable Tom was soon fast asleep and
snoring tremendously. The other travel
er bore the infliction as long as human
endurance could go, and then sang, out;
"Oh ! sir, sir, sir." '
"Hello, hello V' cried Tom, sitting up
wildly in bed," "what is the matter?"
"Oh ! sir," exclaimed the sufferer,
"you snore, sir." '
"Did 1 snore," demanded Corwin.
"Is it possible ? I really beg your pardon,
sir."- - - :
And so saying, he dropped asleep
again and again tbe dreadful snoring
went on. The poor man in the next
bed again complained.
"Sir, sir; oh ! sir." -
"I say what is it?" responded Corwia.
'You are snoring again, sir."
"Why, really I am ashamed of myself ;
I beg a thousand pardons for my impo
liteness.
And again the Senator' sought repose,
but the snoring was worse than ever, and
the sufferer once more called attention
to the offense.
"Look here, sir," cried the Senator,
you have wakened me up three times.
and twice I have apologized ; what more
can a gentleman ask? riow 1 am tired
and sleepy, and if you disturb mc again,
why d n it, I II brain you with a boot-
jack." ' .,:V, ,,:
