The Oregonian today gives a map o
the lines of the proposed ne w railroads
'in the Northwest, including that of the
Corvallis & Eastern fiom tbe Bay to On
tario on the Oregon Short Line, ant a
branch running down to Lakeview, and
says:
"The most extensive railroad project
for the Northwest now in comtemplatioo
is that of the Corvallis & Eastern. All
the preliminary arrangements for posh
ing that line through Eastern Oregon
were completed, even to the placing of a
mortgage for 112,000,000 on the present
mileage to secure funds for the extension,
when the Spanish war interfered. It s
not likely that its couatrnctioa will be
long deferred . The main line will prob
ably be completed through to Ontario, if
not to Boise, before tbe branches to Port
land, Eugene and Lakeview engage at
tention. This system will open op a vast
vigin of territory of untold industrial
possibilities. .

The community . was shocked this
morning on learning of tho sudden death
of Rev. M. M. Gibson.D. D., in this city.
It occurred at the homo of his daugh
ter Mrs. P. A. Young at 4:30 o'clock ,and
was the result of heart failure. Dr. Gib'
son arose awhile before and got a drink
of water, returning to the bedside he re
marked to his wife that he wanted to talk
with her and asked something about J
wnemer nisgranauaugnter was up yet in
a confused kind of a way, and then full
over on the bod dead.
The remains have been embalmed and
will he taken to San Francisco on to
night's cverland for burial, that the last
respects may be paid his memory by
those among whom he labored so long
and faithfully and by whom he was un
iversally esteeemed and respected for the
nobility of his character and his worth
as a Christian man and citizen.
Dr. Gibson recently attended the gen
eral assembly of his church in the east
and was in Albany on his way home
seeking rest and recuperation. He had
been subject to heart failure for some
time and everything possible was being
done to make his life quiet and peaceful,
and it was being cast in very pleasant
cbannels when Uie summons came.
Rev. Gibson was born on December 11 ,
lSJ. ,near Oxford. Pa., he attended West
minixter college, from which he gradua
ted in 10. he then studied theology in
tne &enia seminary and was licensed to
preach in May, 1863, was ordained
at Sidney, Ohio, July 21, 1864, and was
pastor of the United Presbyterian
church at Sidney from July 24, 1864, to
rebruary zs, lSoT, when he was sent aa
stated supply to the church at San
Francisco, becoming the regular pastor
in isotf, ana remaining pastor ot tbe
church until his death, though not able
to preach, continually for the last year or
two on account of neuralgia of the heart.
The thirtieth anniversary of his connec
tion with tbe church was celebrated last
year and was given a good deal of atten-
