I Now that Congress has appropriated a I large som of mottey for the improvement of the "Willamette river, much larger than we bad hoped tor, the next great desidera tum U to expeud tlie money judicidsaly. where it is most needed and where it will accomplish the most good. We are among those who believe the appropriation ia lifrge enough, il bonestlv and judiciously expended, to affect the desired end- to- wit : improving the channel of the Wil lamette so as to render its navigation possible during the entire Tear, from Its mouth to Eugene City, for light draught boats. If practical men, men who are thoroughly acquainted with the liver, and are interested lit iu iiaprotement, can have the work committed to their care, then the a moan t appropriated, together with what has been subscribed by the farmers ot this valley, will accomplish the much needed improvement. Petitions are In circulation. largely signed, asking Gen. Micbler to appropriate a reasonable- portion of the money to the improvement of the Wil lamette from Salem to Eugene, -and especially from Albany to Eugene, and not expend all the money between Port land and Salem. We hope the General will see the justness of the claim, and grant the request of petitioners. And if be wishes to consult the further wishes ot ear people, be will employ a practical river man and there are a number of practical men now plying the river, who know every crook and beiid and rapids in it, from the falls to its bead who are thoroughly alive to the interests at stake, and who can tell, without awaiting slow and tedious surveys. jut where and what kind of improvements are necessary to make navigation practica ble the year round on the Upper Willam ette. Let everybody sign these petitions, to the end that those in authority may know the will of the people in the Wil lamette valley in regard to this matter. The Odd Ffllows' Picnic On Mon day, specially intended for three-linkers and their families, was a most pleasant and agreeable affair. Promptly at 10 o'clock A. M Albauy Lodge Xo. 4. and Orgeana Encampment Xo. 5, I.O.O.F., tormed in procession at ttieir hall on First street, and. headed by Albany Brass Band, marcbed up First to Washington street, out Wash ington to Fifth, and from Fifth to Hackle man's grove. Arriving at the grove, after a few minutes' intermission, the opening ode was sung, and the X. G- Walter Ketchum, introduced Past Chief Patriarch, J. F. Backeusto, wbo delivered a most interesting aud entertaining address, which was listened to throughout with the closest aSeittton by Ids audience. Bro. Dunbar, of Salem, was then called upon by the Noble Grand, and responded in his usual happy manner, in his remarks taking occa sion to acknowledge the bad egg prop ositi ou. We not only fogive him, but sympathise with him, and hope be may ' go and sin no more." After singing the closing ode, the "bretbering and cistern, assembling around well filled lunch bas kets, proceeded to refresh the " inner man in the regular orthodox manner or words to that effect. It was a grand and refresh ing sight to see some of those old veteran three-linkers, wbo wore the scars of many a well-fought fray, going baldheaded after baked chicken and things with all the vigor and grace which marked their earlier years. And then to see the salt chuck of joy leap to the northeast corner of the optics of the patriarchal degree members and slowly chase its way down their happy, smiling sun-embrowned, Grecian features, as they observed an aged patriarch of the "royal purple," slowly but grandly rise to bis feet. with happiness and brotherly-love beaming from every knot-ltole in his complexion, grasping in his left hand the limb of a de funct fowl ot the genus chicken, and his right hand holding aloft a bottle of soda. while his expansive mouth, large but ex pressive, was well filled with cake and pickles and ham and peaches and pie, in melting but somewhat smothered and in distinct tones, offer the toast of the day ah! words fail to express the beauty, the grandeur, the magnitodinositousness of the picture ! It beat anything all to pieces. and the oldest man in the world, if he'd been there, would have been overcome en tirely I The graod sublimity of the toast, yer"s lock !' struck a responsive chord in each heart present, and was drank In such absolute silence that yon might bave beard a pin (tenpin) dror especially ITt had been one ot the larger kind and bad fallen on some aged patriarch's toes. Of course, we wish to give a truthful and re' liable report, and we would add that, yon might not have been able to bear the ten- pin drop, but irt had fell with force, as above indicated, ail present would have certainly beard (aot patriarch rrsawt But we harot time nor space to enter into Inrtber details of tills "auspicious occa sion. SufSce it, that after a day happily spent In swopping affable and polite re foarks, playing croquet, etc., the "three linkers' inarched back to their ball, Tbe day was ddlgfotful, and everything con spired to make the occasion pleasant aod agreeable to all. In the evening. Odd Fellows and their families praeeeded to tbe skating rink, which bad been chartered for the occasion, w bere the day was firtfahrid up in fcn aad jolarity, the brass band add ing greatly to the pleasure of the evening by diepenBing most excellent music. The whole efiair awed ofT so pleasantly, that there is talk oi getting op a grand excur sion to last through tea days, to come off soon. Good. BrMe We have fVom time to time dinW oaf jmHence ia thia county, through, the , columns ot the Kbgister, advocated the building of a bridge across the Santiam at Lebanon, or at any more feasible point. if such there be, for tbe accommodation of tbe people residing In the forks of the Santiam. We have shown that one of tbe richest and most productive districts in the county, in which reside nearly or quite one- third of our population, are practically shut off from the county-seat and tbe balance of tbe county by this barrier, the Santiam river, during a portion of the year. On several different occasions petitions, largely signed by prominent citizens, not only resi dents of tbe Forks, but of other portions of tbe eonnty, have been . presented to our Honorable Commissioners, asking that a suitable bridge be built across tbe Santiam at Lebanon, the petitioners agreeing to pay a portion of the cost of such bridge. As it is announced that the county is now entirely free from debt, a more auspicious occasion for presenting and urging tbe claims of the people in tbe Forks in this behalf could not be selected. County Court convenes next week, and the friends of tbe enterprise should use all the intervening time in fortifying and strength ening their petition, and in securing tbe fullest data to bty before that honorable body, to tbe end that they may have a fair and impartial bearing and secure favorable consideration of the subject. The citizens immediately interested cer tainly have exhibited a commendable spirit in proffering contributions of $,000 or $5,000 toward a work which not only will prove immediately beneficial, but will increase in value from year to year to that whole section ot country as well as to tbe general interest and benefit of tbe citizens of tbe whole county. After a thorough canvass ot the matter, it seems to us that no well founded objection can be urged against the county's paying at least one- half the cost of a so much needed public work. Tbe contemplated bridge will be 380 feet from one abutment to tlie other, with one pier in the center. One abutment already constructed by nature, decreasing the cost of the bridge, wliicii, npon careful estimate, will not exceed $10,000. We do not believe that any serious or formidable opposition will be offered against an enter prise of such vital importance to the in terests of tbe people of tlie Forks of tbe Santiam. and affecting more or less the general interests of our whole people, as does the building of such a bridge. When all the facts are taken into consideration, no reasonable objection can be urged to tbe appropriation by the county of the neces sary funds to build tbe bridge. The people directly interested propose to donate half tbe cash necessary to build the bridge, and they will also pay their proportion of the tax assessed upon property throughout the county to raise the balance. Can anything be more just or fairer on their part t Tbe building of tbe bridge win prove largely beneficial to this city, as all the trade hitherto driven to Marion county because of the difficulty experienced in crossing tlie Santiam, will then come here. Tai tt Xaahera aw aat Harrtsburg, April 26, 1S7S. Ed. Register : According to previous arrangements, the three-linkers of this vicinity took a grand excursion from this place to Corvallis to-day. At 6 A. M. members of tbe order num bering some thirty-fire or forty, formed in procession at. their hall, and, headed by tbe Harrisburg and Halsey brass bands, under tbe kadershiph of Prof. Everest, took up their line of march through the principal streets of the city to the wharf, where lay the O. S. S. Co, 'a fine steamer, Fannie Patton, with steam np ready to be off as soon as passengers and luggage could be gotten on board. At 6 tbe line was east off, and we started down the winding Willamette, with flags flying and bands playing, and the greatest enthusiasm pre vailing among the exenrtionists. Soon after starting, the freight deck being cleared, the " youngsters n of tbe party formed quadriHs and commenced dancing, which they kept np pretty much all day, winding op in the evening with a "fat men's dance." In this last dance we noticed Geo. Brandenburg. M. Fuller, and others of equal averdapoise. After a pleasant run of four boors, we arrived at the point of destination, Cor Tallis. As the boat landed at the wharf we were greeted by a cordial reception from Barnaul Lodge, I.O.O.F., and by several hundred citizens, and last, but not least, by the Corvallis brass band, which saluted us with some splendid masks what it lacks in numbers it makes np in vim. A procession was then formed and marched to the Court House, wbere Prof. Emery was introduced, and delivered a short but eloquent speech of half boar's duration,' after which lunch was spread trader the beautiful maples surrooRdlugthe Court House, to which ample justice was done. At 1P.M. the shriU whistle of the boat reminded as that twas time, to torn our faces homeward. An boor was con sumed in getting together and making adieus. At P. M. we were fairly started, and the ran borne was accomplished by a liUle after 9P. JL AH were highly pleased with the trip, though somewhat wearied.
