Such conduct v seems to us unkind to the people of that rich and prosperous section of our county which will most be bene fitted by the enterprise. While this part of the county, extending from Albany to Brownsville and Harris- burg and traversed by the Cajipooia, Muddy and other streams, has bad the most liberal assistance in the way of bridges, roads, etc., the por tion which the proposed bridge is expected to benefit have had nothing, Thia is unfair. The county is now comparatively out of debt, and no ax-payer will feel the additional burden which the appropriation asked for would impose upon the whole county. The amount wanted is only 14,000, for which good and responsible citizens propose to bind themselves that the bridge shall be built a first-class one," too. of the Smith Truss pattern.

In confessing that the Re publicans met with a crushing defeat there, it adds: ','Tbe majority for the . wibwi opposition of many Republicans to the civil rights bill, thv force bill, the Louisiana business, the attempt to seat Pinchback, and all the rest of that headlong course in which Butler has led, and which has proved so fatal. ..

Editor Democrat: It is a gratifying indication of the times to know that the feople of Or egon in vandUH localities of the State are waking up to their true in terests by inaugurating hew enter prises that will give increased facili ties to the producers, easier and cheaper outlets for the Uansporto tion and better markets for their produce', The people of the Upper Willamette Valley have suffered seri ously for the want of eligible open ings to the seaboard. We have a re gion lavishously endowed by nature with oil the .essential elements" to make a progressive, prosperous and independent people, culminating in the highest type of civilization. The salubrity of our climate, the fertility of our soil its varied productions, our incalculable water power con spire to render us a people blessed with peculiar advantages with a proper development of our latent re sources. Being thus impressed the people of Corvallis conceived the grand idea of building the Yaquina Railroad, connecting the Willamette river by a short line with the Pacific Ocean and this enterprise being supported by the best of evidence that it would be completed at an early doyj inspired the people of Earrisburg with the idea of building a canal from Spore's Ferry to inter sect the Willamette at Harrisburg. Knowing that with the Yaquina Rail road in successful operation, the Willamette river improved, and the canal in working order, it would es tablish a shorter, easier and cheaper way to market for this wiction of the State than any other. Besides, it would open up an extensive and val uable country upon the waters of the McEenzie, with its consequent trade, that is now shut up by natural bar riers and rendered unavailable for the want of an outlet. , With these considerations the peo ple of Harrisburg resolved to build the canal, and to that end filed arti cles of incorporation and went to work with glowing hopes and pros pects bright. Everybody was in a glee of delight, the women wore charmed and the men were inspirited, straightened up and looked about an inch taller until the issue of the Demooba of April Oth appeared with revelation from one of our most honored and gifted aitizous, It. B. Cochran, upon "TheMcKenzie Ca nal," which we are sorry to say, had the effect to extract the stiffeninir out of the verteral column of some of our most sturdy supportors of the enterprise. We believe the effeot is only temporary and that a healthy vigorous and successful reaction will speedily ensuo. Mr. C. truthfully states thoro are two routes that may be taken for the construction of a canal, but both must virtually start from the sumo point at Sporo's Ferry. ' Here he gives a description of the routes with thoir estimatod costs. One to follow the slough and corao ;put at Brum loy's, the other to start out above the slough, In speaking of the latter route, he says: " You got a cut about 17 feet to low witter level, then throe feet dopth for water in canal and you have 80 foot of dopth which will continue if the canal is kojit above high-water mark for a niilo and a half; ; averaging from 12 to 15 feet deep, then gradually getting to the surface within the next mile" Thus we see, according to his calculations the canal on this line would be out twd miles a-half before coming to the surface, having to make a cut of 20 feet deep for a mile and a-half. Let us see: The highest point on the surface . above the low water mark, starting out at the ferry as shown by the level was 15 feet, and that was on the summit of the rim and would continue but a short distance. as by bearing a little to the east the surface descends. , Further the level at fitli Station indicated 5 feet below low-water mark, and ' the surface is lower in an easterly line than it is in the road whore the levels' wore taken. But this amounts to nothing more than to establish correct ob servation, as it is our intention to thoroughly examine the ground and adopt the line we know .to be best, let it come out at Bruuiley'a, or else where. We do hope Mr. C. is not influenced by personal considerations when urging with so much zenl ttlul pertinacity tho Brumley route "We now have the watcx-ftut on the sur face," says he, "what will 'we do with it? I presume the people of Harrisburg will Bay they will take it, will you take stock sufficient to build it, or are you playing the dog in tho niHugerT" A very ungenerous innu endo coming as it does from such a prominent and notoworthy source. Little aid we expect when entering upou the work of this important en terprise to be publicly jeered with the doggish proclivities that stamp hr the obnoxious objects of being unable and unwilling to do nnylbihg our selves, or allow others. We have passed the course usually taken in such cases and have mudo tho best headway v.e could and intend to prosecute the nndvi'takiuj,' to ail ul timate completion if we can get the aid that is reasonably expected from an interested people. ' And we fur ther allirm that we have at no time be aware, nor do we now believe that we are in any one's way with reference to the matter under re view, and we are perfoctly willing to abide by the developments of the fu ture to determine who is "playing dog in the manger."' He ridicules our preliminary' survey and says "it has not established much." We are pleased to enlighten the public mind on this point that it established all that was intended, the project is feasi ble. Mr. C. seems to think a canal to Harrisburg would be better than nothing for the people in his section Vbut one to: Albany straight down the valley would be much better and accommodate ten times as many of his people." For this apparently important declaration he very pru dently refuses to adduce any proof. We eonf csss in our weakness a failure to see the truth of the assertion. He further compliments the people of Harrisburg with being so selfish and narrow minded that they "can place no value on an enterprise un less it centres in their little village." J.ni8 is a gratuitous assumption with referenco to the people of Harris burg, and was evidently suggested to ins mind by the anticipated "little village that is expected to spring up t tlio liead of the "Albany canal,' or it moy have been prompted by the splindid outlinos,of that great city ("Uoburg" at the head of the "Al bany canal") that is to rival New York in the amount of business. "In less than ten years" said one of their old and substantial citizens. "there will not be a day but a shin will be loaded with lumber" and this may be the reason that people in "little villages" are so lightly estimat ed. Mo seems to make snort nf , Woo of the people of Harrisburg building a canal "as there are but about ubout eight or ten persons in mat "little village" that are willinir and able to do anything." Then with an air of triumph be asks, "what is the prospect on a straight line to Albahy almost every farmer will give it aid; quite a sum of money can be, had from the people on Muddy to have cleur water turned down that Btream." It is generally inougnt mat water can be turned in to Muddy from the Harrisburg canal ana mat tbe people on Mudd would give as much for it from that source as any other. Wo do question the ability of the people along the straight line to build the canal, but we do question their wil lingness to furnish the money. Th route is feasible, but will necessitate heavy outluys that do not attach the Harrisburg canal. It has to en counter three large wutor courses be sides a number of smaller streams that will require tho canal to be ele vated above high water mark of all those streams. No profits can be expected from the sale of its water power as Albany has a great surplus of water running to waste and can supply the demands of the city for all time from its present source of supply. ,. Again: Mr. Cavers, and truth fully too, that all the produots of the McICenzie district would be shipped by this "straight line to a place on me Willamette where boats can arrive tho year round." , Weooncede tho fact and insist with equal certain ty that boats can and will arrive at Harrisburg in like manner giving the MoKenzie district a shorter, eas ier and better route to market than tho "straight line." ' : Mr. C. makes his final '-appeal the people of Albany and assures them that this "straight line canal will open one of the finest lumber regions of the Pacific coast, and would put as many twenties into cir culation from this source as all the grain grown in the some distriot." The proposition is frankly oonceded, and in return we kindly ask the gen tleman, in justico to the public, and especially the people of the "little village," to the acknowledged fact that Bimllar results would follow if the canal wore constructed to Har risburg with the additional advan tage to the people of the McEenzie, that they would not have more than one-third the distance by way of canal to reach the Willamette and a market for their timber. Further, the company opening a oanal to Har risburg would have a demad for their water to propel machinery without competition which can not be the case with the other line. ' AVe have an encouraging assurance that the present movement will be directly crowned with success. And if tho Harrisburg company from any cause proves a failure, we hope some other company will make available the lessons of its, mistake and prose cute uie worn until success crowns the effort. After the people have had sufficient time to thoroughly ex amine the premises we have no fears of the final issue. An enterprise of such vital importance, embracing such wide range of interests and within such oasy reach of the people, cannot and will not be a very long time delayed. J. F. Hxnbkix. to IKeuNKu.
