THE ENTERPRISE. 7FffflMREC0X, SEPT. V., 137G. ""T" niver Improvements. r rP paqnet, of this city, furnishes .0ft vernier the following 1 ;n in regard to the construe- SS damS on the Upper Wil- tiOIl laniette: Moon Rend, four miles Yn rcallia: one at 15 ower s lar. three I"'- m the last about 800 feet R" the first named 400 feet, the. next J0"'.i i.s. now one crane working at Tree Rapids, three miles below ?ff !V requirins? 4(J feet, of which 100 ffiin wmpleted ; another at Long haveutciiv, , Hiipn-i Vista. Mnfeur hundred feet, just com! to ix- ui,rs are to be built as fol- ;nt". it Umer Fickles, about six files' below Albany, 400 feet; at lower viK feet; mouth of Santiam f ifMf and some work may be done fiier JUKI o- ,,tl, of the Luckirnute; 400 at 10 ltr. ix miles below g na 'vfatT At the present time a o clear the channel at the latter place where 75 vards of rock will bp removed from swift water, and make a good vinr.pl The same force will alter ward" move down to Kocky Rapids, six miles below Salem, and remove 25 vards of rock there. y Several causes tend to make naviga tion on the Upj?r Willamette much Letter than usual the present year. The wine dams constructed last tall have moved permanent, and have greatly helped the river to improve its own channel, so that Union Bar, fifteen miles below Salem, and Lone Tree bar e-ht miles below here, that used to be tue " sticking points" below Sa lem are now easily passed. It is be lieved that the construction of winded dams in the river will tend to conline the river to a permanent channel, and ho cause it to improve gradually year after vear by its own action. Such is the experience with work already done. Another fact favorable to navigation is the construction of light draft steam boats that agree better with the low sta"e of water common to summer and fa if than those commonly in use. We allude to the City of Salem, Bonanza ami Ohio. Mr. Paquet says lie can see no reason why the river cannot be made navigable at low water as far up ns the main stream, six miles below Eugene, and believes the cxjenditure of ?liW,0H) in judicious improvements, with some repairs affected yearly thereafter at a trilling expense, would accomplish this most desirable result. Caught in a Trap. As our reporter was wending his way homeward last Monday night, he saw somebody climbing into a window. His mind pic tured burglars, and he was preparing to make goo J time tor sate quarters. (as lie is not noted for his bravery) but lust at ims moment mo winuow came down with a rush, and the mysterious personage was cauirht in its tender em brace, with his feet on one side and head on the other. Our ret orter, now h brave as a lion, rushed hurriedly to the scene, with two pistols and a big butcher knife, and demanded the cause of such conduct. But picture his sur prise when he saw the placiu counte nance of one of our city's gay beaux, who had been locked out by his land lady, and was trying to g t into his room through tlie window. Our ie- portcr raised the window for the ynun man, and allowed him to escape from the critical ixjsition. Let this ho a warning to that young man to not stay out so 'late when visiting his dulcina, or else make arrangements with th landlady to leave the door unlocked. Tub Albany Democrat, of the 14th, naa me following concerning our Chinch: "A reception was given last evening at the residence of L. Flinn, K., in honor of Mr. Wheeler Church ami lady. " (Juito a number of the young f.;lks were in -attendance, and ;dl enjoyed tlu itis.-l c s hnircly. Mr. Church 'was married to Mbs'Mimla IC-indall, Tuesilny evening, at Oregon ' City, ami started' immediately for tf;is city, jmuI are r.ow stoj ping at his sis ters, Mrs. L. Flinn. Wo congratulate Wheeler and his lovely yniing com t;iniou, and wi-.li them 'all the joy which follows in the wake of a genial connubial life." An individual with his coat and hat turned wrong side out attracted con siderable attention last Monday eve ning, on Main street. Many were the conjectures as t whether it "was Sitting Bull or one of the d.iring safj burglars 0in disguise. On clikMs examination we lounu ic to ix a i lacuamascouuty gran der, who bad got too much "tangle foot "a! oard. When last seen he was calmly meditating on a dry troods box upon tho evil iniluewes of intemper ance, ana we noix; no may profit there by, and not make such a spectacle of iiimseii on our streets again . Another Acci pent. While engaged in repairing the factorj' Hume, last Sunday, Mr. Louis Jaggars received a severe cut in the thiurh. Ho was stand ing along side of Mr. Chase, who was cuipping a neavy u inner, wnen oy bouio means the broad axe slipei from his hand and struck Jaggars in tho thigh, inflicting a severe wound. His right hand was also badly cut. The doctor fixed the young man up, and he I now able to get around on crutches. Q Caft. Z. C. Norton's residence, at Norton's post office, in this county, caught fire last week, by sparks from the chimney dropping on the dry roof. Before it had obtained much headway it was extinguished, by the exertion's of Mrs. Norton, assisted by a hired girl.
