ARTESIAN WATER. Failure of a Coal Prospect Develops Something Almost as Good. FINALLY ARRIVE. The Asylum Commission Take a Look 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 Echo. The governor will proceed im mediately to Salem, and the treasurer will stop off at The Dalles a day or two. AFTER THE FINE GOLD. 03 X o iH u PL. xn It o CD Pi S 6 SB CO 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 i i j : xi. t t 1 i I mrcr uuuica ui il, which lb ih pruuuum 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. Pacific Farmer.
