A n extra heavy locomotive and cab-
oose accompanied the rotary snow plow
j to the blockade this morning. Her speed
j out of the city was very slow and careful,
i apparently as if afraid of going to the
; bottom of some of the high trestles .on
i the route.
The sheriff of Baker county had more
than the average incumbrance with him
in this blockade, having two prisoners
for Salem, one a young man convicted of
1 murder, and one a convicted horse thief,
i He has them hand-cuffed together but
tor safe keeping lodged them in Sheriff
Wards cross-bar hotel last night.
The rotary snow plow, ad long
pected, has arrived, and gone at last to
the blockade on the line between this
citv-and 'Portland, leaving at 9 :-55,J
About 200 passengers, from three or four
blockaded trains, who were cared for at
tk. TTn.-:n V....1 1.0,4 ;....
made up this morning, and followed the
snow plow about three hours later,
The entertainment in aid of - Rockdale
school came off on Friday last, and was
fairly successful ; $1 4 having been re
alized, notwithstanding the fact that a
party and dance was Tield in the neigh
borhood the same evening. The school
house was nearly filled with an attentive
and intelligent audience, who seemed to
enjoy . thoroughly ' both entertainment
and supper.
' in The Dalles it is never . necessary to
appeal to the public twice for contribu
tions for those less fortunate. This. was
t tested by the mission of Mrs. Rice
ud Mrs. Predsler, which made so many
little ones happy this afternoon at the
ibrary chapel Christmas tree. These
thoughtful preparations - were ample,
and proved to be a most acceptable
function in- the distribution of gifts
amongst deserving ones.
Among the passengers delayed at The
Dalles by the snow blockade, were sotne
whose business was of a nature to cause
them heavy pecuniary damages by fail
ure to get through. One of these was
a gentleman from Salt Lake City, whose
presence in Astoria by the time the
banks open on Monday morning is very
material. Some time since work was
stopped for want of funds on the Astoria
and Portland railway, so called for con
venience; the contractors had performed
something over $350,000 worth of work ;
having perfect confidence in the princi
pals who were backing the project;
when suddenly influence opposed to an
other railway entering the Willamette
valley from any' source, tampered with
the backers to such an -extent ' as to
weaken their . faith in the enterprise ;
money was withheld, and work stopjied.
The committee of Astorfans holding in
trust a valuable subsidy of cash and
lands to be turned over to the railway
on completion of the line as agreed upon,
have been aggravated beyond further
endurance by the meddlesomeness of
outside parties, enemies of Astoria, em
phatically decided to give the company
but one more chance, and the limit pf
time to renew operations on the work of
construction was fixed at Monday, Dec.
26th. This spurred Messrs. Corey, Bros,
to renewed effort, and they have made
complete arrangements for the final and
perfect fulfillment of all parts of the
original contract. '. They ' are here,
snowed in-; Monday the 26th is not far
distant, but we hope they may be able
to greet "mine host" Megler. and affix
their names upon the Occident register
not later than 10 o'clock tomorrow night.
Then' in truth Astorians may "enjy the
holidays' with- them. ';- ' ' V '.
