LOCAL MATTERS.
Ballrond Meetlnf.
In piirsnnnce of previous announcement,
an adjourned meeting ot the oltizensof
Albany was held at tho Court HoUse on
Monday night, to take Into consideration
the question of securing the propotetl exten
sion ot the Dayton, Sheridan & Grand
Roude Railroad to this city. IV. Flinn,
Esq., occupied the Chair J T. P. Ilaukle
man, Eq-, Secretary.
Judge St rattan. Chairman of tho com
mittee appointed at the la.'t meeting, re
ported that they I mil written a letter to
Mr. Reid, stilting the views of the commit
tee In regard to this proposition. The
Secretary then read the correspondence be
tween Mr. Reid and the committee upon
that subject, which was as follows i
Al.fcAK. March lOih, 1880,
TVm. Rei1. Esq., Portland. Dear Sir f
On the evening of the 8th Inst., a largo
meeting ot the citizens of Albmy and
vicinity was held in the Court IIoue in
this city, for the purpose of considering the
proposition submitted by yoil through
Messrs. Mackenzie and Steams to the
people of Albany, respecting railroad con
nection with the west side. "At auch
meeting the mi. let-signed were appointed
a committee to take the matter into further
consideration, and to communicate with
yon in respect thereto and to report at an
adjourned meeting nf the citizens on nest
Monday evening; The people of this city
fully, realize the Importance of railrond
connection with the west side coffnties,
nd are prepared to favorably entertain
any proposition that they can "fairly meet
looking to th 't end ; but it seems to us
that the one you have Submitted requires
more than we would be able to comply
with. Yonr road ought to cross the river
Into our citv br means of a bridge. If it
ne not. wou!d not the effect be to
build up a rival town on the opposite sulo
of the river, wim otilv doubtful and In
cidental advantages to accrue to. our city ?
If yon can summit a proposition to bring
your cars into Albany by means of a
brltiflv. wb would be pleased to have j'on
do so ; or if you are not prepared to do
that, we most respectfully ask you to con
sider whether or not you can not very
materially modify the proposition already
before' us, in i respect to the amount of
subsidy required. We also hope you cm
name Portland or Astoria definitely as a
terminal point.
Assuring you that our people feel a
lively interest, not only in your railtoad
enterprises, but particularly tho?c which
immediately nliect the growth ami pros
perity or our city, we remain, respectiuiiy
and truly yours, It. Strahan.
dm. ot Citizens um.
Following 13 Mr. licld'a reply to the
above :
Okkgon Railroad Co.. Limited.
POHTI-ASI). Or.. March 15, 1SS0.
R. S. Strahan, Esq.. Chairman of the
Railroad Committee, Albany Sir : Your
letter ,r the 10th mst., together with the
propositions therein contained, from the
people of Albany, were by me telegraph
ed to, Scotland, but I regret to say that up
to tuts morning 1 have had uo reply there
to.
I can not account for itn article which
appeared in the Albany Democrat, exhibit
ing ti pfiu ii ui utipu-Mi mil tu my nrupiwuiun,
anil commenting tlivreitpoti. Pardon, me
in saying. In reply thereto, that we did llot
seek from the city ot Albany one single
dollar, nor did we at any time exhibit a
desire to enter your city. That proposition
came from yourselves, and I can not, there
fore, permit my actions to be misconstrued
by that newspaper. If it represents the
opinions ot the city of Albany, I wish qui
etly to withdraw from further negotiations
with your people. You asked me to name
the terms on which our Company would
enter your city. I did so, but I have i:o
recollection whatever of ever seeking; one
dfllar irom vour city unsolicited, for the
simple reason that we never hud any In
tention of entering Albany until your cit
izens asked us to do so. Nor did we stip
ulate that you shcttld build a bridge for
our exclusive use. or any bridge ; we sim
ply stated that a bridge across the Willam
ette river at Albany was a serious obstacle
to our entering that citv, and hence we In
dicated a desire to terminate at a point op
posite your city, and go there whenever
you desired us, and were in a position to
enable us to do so.
Be assured of one tiling, and it is this :
we shall not seek the trade of your city un
less you wish u, and it tbe Albany Dem
ocrat represents your, views, permit in
right heie to close further negotiations with
your city, Ur the simple reason that we do
not desire to euter Albany If the people
don't want u-.
Yon tate that It l the intention or de
sire of your people to have a county bridge
at all event, whether our road goes there
or not. If it Is so, why not then make the
bridge a little stronger and suitable tor pas
sengers on foot, for wagons and a railroad
all combined ? the extra cost of uoing
which, our engineer tells us. would not ex
ceed $5,000 at the most. It is not the
policy nor the wish of this Company to
build up rival towns anywhere ; hence. If
we terminated at a point opposite Albany
It would be provided the people of Albany
demanded it not otherwise.
The AlbanyZtonocref expresses the opin
ion that our Company tm given no guar
antee or assurance of its intention to build
any railroads In Western Oregon. In re
ply t which, ltt me say that last Friday a
con tract whs let to build a large portion of
our railway, to be completed before the
lUih of October next. Why. yon will ask?
Simply because the subscriptions and sup
pott obtained to our enterprise from the
people along the line for which this con
tract was let, were so lit e -at that we could
not refu-e to gran, their reqticst.
Yours fiitlitully.
Wm. RtKD, President.
On motion, the committee was given
furlhei time to report, and were author
ized to confer with Mr. Reid and consider
any other proposition which he might de
sire to offer.
The question ot building a bridge was
then discussed at some length Informally,
and the comtn'lteo were authorized to
tike that mattrr into consideration also,
and to ascertain the probable cost of a
bridge across the river at Albany snttab'e
for foot passengers, wagons and railroad
On motion the following resolutions were
adopted :
Resolved, That we favor the proposed
west side connection with the Dayton.
S!:eridan A Grand Ronde Railroad, and
odadlv entertain anv reasonable nronovi.

Itesolved, ThTitTr ui.iiiks are hereby

to us the proposed extension.

tive, and Frank attempted to leave, but
was called back by Charley. Frank then
attempted to pass out through the saloor,
when Charley, throwing off hU coai
and hat, place 1 his hand on Frank threat
ening to whip him. Ill it moment af
ter Frank drew hJs pistol and fired ; Char
ley wavered a moment and sank to' the

the balls from the pistol entered the neck
just above the clavicle, at its junction with
the sternum, passed slightly downward
and iu ward toward the center of the body,
in its passage severing the subclavian artery
and lodging in the spina) column, and they
agreed that such a wound wai necessarily
fatal. The other ball entered at the point
of the shoulder, and glancing passed just un
der the skin for near three Inches, where it
lodged. The jury returned a verdict, find
ing that deceased came to his death from
pistol shot in the hands of Frank Wheeler.

Charley Taylor, who was killed Monday"
uight, had but recently returned1 to thU
city from Eastern Oregon, having been
absent some years. He was a blacksmith
by trade, and while here probably five
years ago, severely cut a fellow blacksmith,"
and was held to answer ; but for some
cause the witness or witnesses failed ts
appear "on call," and Charley escaped.'
Deceased leaves a wife and two children

From a letter recleved In thts city frorri
Mr. Reid, President of tho Oregon Raff- '
road Co., Limited, which we bave had the
pleasure of perusing, we leari that Mr.
Reid will guarantee the building of bis
road from this city to a junction with' Um
Yaqulna Bay railroad, at the summit, jivst
as soon as that road shall be built thai far
ia the direction of Yaqulna Bay. ,We are
satisfied that he will build his road to Ya
qnina Bay, because we are confident that It
is to be the future shipping point, for7 the'
entire produce of this valley and. Eastern
Oregon ; and wishing to do business the
narrow gnage must be continued' froW
King's valley across the mountains' to Ya
qulna Bay. And the city of Albany wants
the narrow gunge road, and to get It she
must build a bridge across the rlrer, tbe
cost of which Is estimated at from' $35,000
to f 50,000. We can't afford id lose that
road, even if we have to" pay a little tot Hi
As expected, Watklnds Is out In answer
to the comparison made, between the
management of the penitentiary under
himself and the present management
Wheat commands from fl 9S id H per '
