him with a earvlnir-knife

there, like the, boy stood on the burn

result. The outraged husband came

and said he would have tlie matter at

Jefferson Davis. ex-President of

Southern people known what was to
follow a surrender, tbev would never
have been conquered, and also gloried
: In the foct that the women of the South

ALBANY AS NANTIAM CAN At.
The Albanv and Santiaui Canal
Company would respectfully call the
attention of the public, and especially
the Capitalist, and those desiring to
engage in manufaeturing. to their
gigpntlo water power and water priv
ilege. Sixteen thousand cubic feet
constantly ftowingevery minute, equal
to 800 horse power, with from 8 to 'M
feet fall, sufficient 'for the most exten
sive machinery, w'uh ground on which
to erect the necessary building-, etc.
The Company deem it but proper that
the public should know more fully the
locality of tills great water power, its
facilities and surrounding-, ill order
that those uuamuaiiited may form
some estimate of its value,
The city of Albany Is the county-seat
of I. inn county, located on the south
east bank of" the Willamette river,
about HHI miles south of Portland, by
river, and SO miles by railroad; Routh
of Salem IS miles by river and 30 miles
by railroad, and north of Eugene City
45 miles.
Albany is located in a prairie of the
same name, which is the great agricul
tural center of the Willamette Valley,
and it is believed that upward of 500,
1)00 bushels of surplus' wheat will be re
ceived at that point, the pti senl season.
The most of it will find its way to tor-
I eigh markets, either by boats or rail
! road to Portland, and from thence ii
! on the ocean. The Willamette river
I is navigated by beautiful steamers,
! carrying Iroui 80.to 300 Ions, running
I as fer as Albany some ten months In
! the year. Also, the 0. & C. R. R ,
1 with its beautiful locomotives, is pass
j ing through the city dally. The city
of Albany is loc'ed upon ;i high, roll
! lug prairie, with ih" Calapoola, a beau-
! turn creek, flowing into the Willamette
, river on the west, the water of which
Is used in driving two large flouring
j nulls, situated on the hank of the ll
j lamettc river. The city is about one
; mile in length, running east and west,
land from one-hulf to three-tourths
of a mile in width, and i- laid off with
I streets of good width.
The Canal, which Is the subject and
' object of this communication, receives
its waters trotu t he houth santiaui
river, which heads In the greatCascade
mountains, gome 75 miles east of
Albanv ; thence running westerly
through a valley of the -zinu" name, to
Lebanon, a vuiage locatea near roe
west, bank of said river, 13 miles wt
Of Albany. The Canal receives the
waters from the Santlam river at that
point, theiice running west to its ter
minus at Albany. The main Santiaui
flows northward, and emptied Its
mountain waters into the Willamette
river 10 jnl - northeast of Albany.
The Canal is brought from Lebanon
through n beautiful prairie for a dis
tance of 12 miles, and empties into the
Willamette river, forming oil its way
and in the city some of the finest water
powers for manufacturing purposes
found on the Pacific coast. There are
but tew, if any, points in the State
which -nrpaes Albany now, for man
ufacturing facilities. Cheap water
power anu easy ot access, and conven
ient transportation, either by water or
railroad, jmd the location beautiful and
healthy.'
The Canal Company oilers liberal
inducements to persons desiring to en
gage in the business ol manufacturing,
and will furnish water power upon the
most reasonable terms. Manufactur
ing of all kiuds is needed in Oregon,
and could be made profitable. The
Canal Company wUI agree to furni-h.
within sixty days, any water power
needed, from a button factory to that
Of a locomotive.
Immigrants and others are earnestly
invited and requested to visit Albany
and examine for themselves. Heal
property can yet be procured on very
reasonabli terms, Iwth in and out- of
the city. Our people compare favor
ably with the rest of mankind, morally
socially, politically and financially.
