It was moved that the above resolutions be adopted as presented, aud that they fairly represent the feeling of tlia moot ing. Carried. A motion was made asking that the resolutions be taken upaeparatcly and pasaed. It waa not supported, nnd the resolutions wero adopted aa read. SVallia Nash, Eq.,of Gorvalll,wae then called upon aud addnwsod the mooting at some lonsth. He depicted in a clear r Mg and able manner the position of the peo pie in thia coctlon, and said unless some effort waa mado they would bo entirely at tho mercy of one gigantic monopoly that has already fastened itaelf upon the people of this State to such an extent that t can dictate to the producer the pi ice of grain and every product of the farm that the rates of transportation affect. He made a showing from tholr own atatemeuta of the vast wealth t hey wero accumulating, and for which they were grinding the pea- pie to the last point of forbearance, lie spoke o the manner in which they op posed any competition, and elaimed the whole north wostorn territory as their own by right of preemption. The evila of such a monopoly are too plain not to be seen and felt by every dtJzen of the Bute, and It la time the people were alive to organ ized methods of oounterba'anclng the dan gor. He gave a very interesting acoount of the progress of the work now going en at Yaquina Bay, and illustrated the de scrlption by maps. Ho pictured the ben etit of Improvements and of .i if.il road from, Yaquina eastward, and called upoa the citisena of this valley to do all In their power to further the enterprise. Mr. Nash estimated the amount ueoeeeary to complete and put iu shape tho harbor im provements, at about U40,0f0. Senator W. R. Bilyou followed Mr. Nairn in an able manner, preaentlng the case In several forelble ways and urging the ne cessity of prompt action. He referred to the records of the last legislature and the fight then made by the monopolists to de feat the railroad bill in the interest ef the people This ho sa'd was a fair example oftlio iufliianoo Unit urn bclunnd would lo brAugJi' to bear ig:ihit thl tn'tvomonl, ml ho thought it was tlmnfbn jteople stood up for their rights. Mr. Hilyeu made a very strong speech, and was heart ily applauded. Jndgo Motro, of CorvuHl-, fi mittgrid the farmers frwtu making nny j er-wnal contribution! tnwnrri the enterprise, but thought best to rely wholly on pHIMotrng Congress. The Hon. Italph C. (Jeer, or Marlon Co., w is then called aud said that be wa wholly In favor of the ritlzotm of ihe val lay making every effort porsooal aud oth erwise fer the aocoiiipltshiyent of this ob ject, which would give so much lu return for the outlay deiuitmh d. Ho wanted to aee the matter pushed and the work done and In a short tltno the advance In price and goueral prosierity would more than repay tbe outlay. He had personally In spected the harbor, and liMlnspocilon was made at the request of a oapilalMl who had at euo timo thought of Investing lu theon terprlHo. Ho was thoroughly satUfiod of tho feasibility of the project lu every par ticular. The mate of tho atoamor "Alx.
