Albany & Saktiam ("asai.. Some
day? ago Superintendent Jason Wheel
er, commenced operations on the Ca
nal, and is now vigorously prosecuting
the work. We believe the heavy work
commences a short distance below the
mill of Elkins Bros., and for some dis
tance the cutting will be sixteen feet,
the average for thirty-six hundred feet
being about ten feet. The contract
tor digging this thirty-six hundred
teet has been let to Mr. A. B. Morris,
for about 7,0)0. This will bring the
Canal out on to the prairie, and finish
es all the deep cutting, with one or
two exceptions, on the entire line to
this city. The Canal where excava
ted is to be twenty-two feet wide on
the bottom ; where tlumed it is to lie
twenty teet wide in the clear. Mr.
Morris has tl.irty-five hand now em
ployed on the work, and will have fif
teen or twenty wagons next week.
so that the Canal will he shoved right
along ' with 1 all '-neatness and dis
patch." '
Poutkjai.. One of the most inter
esting, entertaining ami pointed (J rant
and Wilson speeches we have had the
pleasure of listening to. was delivered
at the Court House in this city, on
Wednesday evening last, by Hon.
Thomas W. Bennett Governor of Ida
ho Territory. The audience was large
for this place, and that his audience
appreciated the many splendid points
made by the speaker, was attested by
the frequent and long continued ap
plause with which they were greeted.
The equal of Oov. Bennett as a speak
er is bard to find, and wherever lie ap
pears beforethe people of Oregon the
effect will be for good. Give him a
full house wherever he goes.
