Fifty-nine Figiits in Less Than

the Divide, peeled off. and swore that
every man should fight wo stepped his
foot across the "dead line" during tlie
night or at least until such time as
one of their number should get whip
ped by one man vfor no foul play was
allowed or indulged in) or all of them
should lie whipped by a crowd of pas
sers. The result was fifty-nine fights
in less than two hours. The Bulls
were successful for a long time, and
put heads on some fifty odd men be
fore they found tlieir match. At last,
however, three robust sons ot the Em
erald Isle happened that way, and,
lieing attacked, stilled in and gave the
dead-liners (all four of themj an un
merciful beating, and took possession
ot the field. Ascertauiiig what the
subjugated enemy had been up to, the
conquerors concluded they would run
the circus awhile themselves. They
had not long to wait when two other
Irish giants came pacing down tlie
hill. One of the new dead-line guards
drew his coat across the road in front
of his passing countrymen, and the
battle opened at once with the most
savage ferocity. In less than a minute
one of the three conquerors lay sense
less in the road, and the other two
were heeling it across the hill toward
the Bullion works, with tattered and
bloody shirts streaming in the wind.

ALBANY AND KANTIA.M CANAL.
The Albany and Sautiam Canal
Company would respectfully call the
attention of the public, and "especially
the Capitalist, ami those desiring to
engage in manufacturing, to tlieir
gigantic water power and water priv
ilege. Sixteen thousand cubic feet
constantly flowingeverr minute, eoual
to 800 horse power, with from 8 to 30
teet mil. sufficient tor the most ex'en
sive machinery, with ground on which
to erect the necessary buddings, etc.
The Company deem it but projierthat
the public should know more fully the
locality of this great water power, its
facilities and surroundings, in order
that those unacquainted may form
some estimate of its value.
The city of Albany is tlie county-seat
of Linn county, located on the south
east bank of the Willamette river,
about I0O miles south of Portland, by
river, and 80 miles by railroad; souih
of Salem 45 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 V alley,
and it is believed that upward of 500,
000 bushels of surplus wheat will be re
ceived at that point, tlie present season.
The most of it will find its way to for
eign markets, either by boats or rail
raid to Portland, and from thence up
on the ocean. The Williwoette river
is navigated by beautiful steamers,
carrying from 80 to 300 tons, running
as far as Albany some ten months in
the year. Also, the O. & C. R. R ,
with its beautiful locomotives, is' pass
ing through tlie city daily. The city
ot Albany is located Uiou a high, roll
ing limine, wmi tin; una doom, a Beau
tiful cl-eek, (Towing into the Willamette
river on tlie west, the water of which
is used in driving two large flouring
mills, situated on the bank or the Wil
lamette river. The city is about one
mile in length, running east and west,
and from one-half to three-fourths
of a mile in width, and is laid off with
streets of good width.
The Canal, which is the subject and
object of tliis communication, receives
its waters from the South Santiam
river, w hich heads in the great Cascade
mountains, some 75 miles east of
Albany; thence running westerly
through a valley of the mine name, to
Lebanon, a village located near the
west bank of said river, 13 miles east
of Albany. The Canal receives the
waters from the Santiam river at tliat
point, thence running west to its ter
minus at Albany. The main Santiam
flows northwanl, and empties its
mountain waters Into the Willamette
river 11) miles northeast of Albany.
Tlie Canal is brought from Lebanon
through !'. beautiful prairie for a dis
tance of 12 miles, and empties into tlie
Willamette river, forming on Its way
and in the city some of the finest water
powers for manufacturing purposes
found on I he Pacific coast. There are
but tew, if any, points in the State
which surpasses Albany now, for man
ufacturing facilities. Cheap water
power and easy of access, and conven
ient transportation, either by water or
railroad, and the location beautiful and
healthy.
The Canal Company offers liberal
inducements to persons desiring to en
gage in the business ot manufacturing,
mid will furnish water power upon the
most reasonable terms. Manufactur
ing of all kinds is needed in Oregon,
and could be made profitable. The
Canal Company will agree to furnish,
within sixty clays, any water power
needed, from a bntton factory to that
of a locomotive.
Immigrants and others are earnestly
invited and requested to visit Albany
and examine for themselves. Real
property can yet be procured on very
reasonable terms, both in and out of
the city. Our people compare favor
ably with the rest ot mankind, morally
socially, politic-ally and financially.
