The

at the Irvine Farm.
Governor Pennoyer and Treasurer
Metschan arrived on the Regulator, as
was announced yesterday, and were met
by many citizens who Phook hands with
the state officials. There was no blare
of trumpets or unseemly noises of any
kind to mark the event as differing from
the commonplace. The flag waving
from .the mast was the only outward
show ' of honor paid the governor and
treasurer of Oregon, and they appeared
to be just as well pleased with the
hearty, sincere hand shakes of their
friends here as if they were compelled
to strain their ears to hear what was
said, because of the noise of horns and
drums. A hack was in readiness, driven
by the sheriff, in which was seated,
besides the guests, Emil Schanno, Dan
French, Chas. Schmidt, W. H. Condon,
R. F. Gibons. No time was lost, every
one realized they were here for business,
and they were at once driven out to the
Irvine farm, which has been the sole Bite
advocated for the location of the asylum
by The Dalles. They were absent two
hours, spending about an hour at the
grounds, and were thoroughly posted as
to the advantages and facilities offered.
As elsewhere the commission were non
committal, though they seemed pleased
with the site visited, and we have only
to await their time as to a decision.
The party left on the night train for

mediately to Salem, and the treasurer
will stop off at The Dalles a day or two.

A Company Will Work the Old Placer
Digging on the Columbia.
A dispatch from Umatilla to the Ore
gonian relates that during the week
civil engineers have been running lines
from the , rapids Jof the Umatilla river,
one mile above Umatilla, to the old gold
fields along the shore of the Columbia,
three miles west. They were quite reti
cent regarding the nature of it heir busi
ness, and it was generally conceded that
they were working on an irrigation
scheme. It is now rumored, however,
that they were working in the interest
of a company lately formed at Pendle
ton for the purpose of making a thor
ough investigation into the condition of
the old placer digging, and if possible,
devising some means of procuring the
fine gold. The rapids of Umatilla will
afford them excellent water power for
hydraulic mining. Fifteen Chinamen
are now working the old fields with the
1 common cradle process. Quite a num-
On Cbenoweth creek an effort was
made about three years ago to find coal,
but the hole was abandoned after a cer
tain depth failed to develop the exist
ence of the black diamonds. A later
attempt was again made by Messrs.
Nichols, Roland and others, and when
at a depth of 51 feet the operators were
surprised to find a stream of pure arte
sian water forcing itself up to the top of
the six-inch pipe and spouting up. into
the air for a few inches above this.
This decides the long-mooted question
that artesian water in Eastern Oregon is
not only a possibility, but a glowing lDer of claims have been staked out by
reality, and will encourage enort to nnd I white men

can easily be done when a greater depth
is tried. If artesian wells can be struck
it means the reclamation of thousands
of acres of good agricultural land that
wants only moisture to be as fertile as
the country overflowed by the lower
Nile.

Salem has enjoyed the past few weeks
an excitement in the way of a minis
ter s strike. It is true, there were no
noisy demonstrations or resorts to vio
llence by the laborers in the vineyard of
the Lord. But there was a firm struggle
with all the attendant features of a sue
cessful strike. The Salem ministers
union resolved that it was not getting
enough pay for services rendered in the
state institution, or in fact not paid at
all. So the gentleman of the cloth
served notices on their employers, -or
those in charge, that not a prayer would
be uttered, or a sermon preached, or a
soul absolved, unless there was an ad
justment of differences. All relations
were suspended until the negotations
were completed. There was a volumin
ous correspondence with officials", boards,
trustees and superintendents. The
compensation was agreed upon. Sun
day all the striking ministers were at
their posts. The result was, as usuil, a
compromise. Journal.
Canning Factory.
The canning factory at Eugene is
making extensive preparations for a
heavy run this season. This cannery
has a capacity of from 6,000 to 25,000
cans. While in the city a few days ago
the manager Mr. Abrams, kindly showed
the entire workings of the plant, in
cluding the immense dryer which is
fnruished with a huge fan to keep up a
rapid circulation of air through fruit
which is heated by means of coils of
pipes through which the heat is regu
lated. Uorn and peas canned last year
is of excellent quality at present and has
the appearance of being long keeping
goods, ihe goods put up are all of a
high class and will be sold as such. As
there is not a cannery on the coast can
ning corn, this one will make a specialty
of this product, preparations are being
made for putting up quite a large plant.
