(3) v. V- jp gailjtj Qstexxnu. ASTORIA .. Oct. 31, IS77 To a Baby. A little bud, with violet eyes, That stole its azure from the skies-; And cheeks, where rose and lily blend, And grace on every motion tends. Her auburn locks and sunny curl, And coral lips and teeth of pearl Would tempt a humming bird in spring On his gay flight to poise on wing. And doubtless for a moment think Ile'd lit upon a new blown pink. Her sylph-like form by beauty lined, Her head bespeaks a fertile mind. But yet I hear, with much regret, The little minx's an arch coquet; But none, I'm sure, would deem her pert Or for one moment think she'd flirt May moral grace its beauty's bud, And on each step assidions tend, As through life's thorny path she'll wend, Is the fond wish of Verge's friend. Clatsop. .Railroad Interests in Yamhill. The McMinnville Reporter contains the proceedings of a meeting held in Amity on the 21st, to take into con sideration the feasibility of running a narrow guage railroad from Dayton to Sheridan, via Amity. The attend ance was fair, and proceedings were quite animated. Hon. Joseph Gaston, of railroad distinction on the West Side, attended the meeting, and gave the people a few items from his store of information on railroad matters, lie placed the estimate on the cost of building and equipping the road at 8,000 a mile, or $1G0,000 for the en tire distance of twenty miles. A com mittee was appointed to represent the subject throughout the count', with a view of finding out how the project will be received by the people to be benefitted by it, and to devise some specific plan for action to be submitted at a meeting to be called by them in the future. The committee consists ef: Benj. Branson, Sheridan; Capt. Lafollett, Grand Ronde; Cyrus Smith and Benj. Syron, Amity, and Capt. Powell, of Dayton. The project, so far, is in the hands of good men, who are capable of stirring up considerable interest on the work they have in hand. The farmers of Sheridan are in an isolated situation, and sadly in need of some means of transporting their crops other than by hauling so great a distance with teams. They are soundly in earnest on the transporta tion question, and ready to do their share in a project that will secure them the desired object. This report has come to us time and time again in re ference to the improvement of the Yamhill scheme, but as nobody evinced and spirit of co-operation, it is evident that they have concluded to seek en couragement where it is to be found. Amity is but little better off in the matter of transportation than the other section, and her anxiety to secure a carrier will equal that of Sheridan. Amity showed a liberal hand in her effort to get the west side road ex tended that far a year or so ago, and another such a strong pull will be an encouraging effort for the other places to tie to. With the proper persever ance and united labor between them all, there is no reason why this less ex pensive enterprise may not be put through. The best part of Yamhill lies far from the head of navigation or the railroad depot. There certainly should be some connecting link of transportation. This can be secured only by the enterprise of those who are most affected.. For six years the Reporter has been drumming at this section to get the river improved and get that connecting link through by McMinnville, but aside' from a sickly gulp at the matter now and then noth ing has ever been done, and the pro ject lies to-day apparently as dormant as it did before the coast ranjre of mountains was made. Our Sheridan neighbors are entitled to sonie relief. If Amity and Dayton haye encourage ment to offer, and this combination have the vim to consummate the un dertaking, why all credit be to their energy and public spirit, an.d success crown their efforts. We are in favor of a judicious amount of enterprise and wherever it shows itself in. Oregon, we'snaii commend and encourage it. ; Eighteen thousand peronS emigrated in lBb rrora the intern and Western, , otftfes to Qrpgon, Temple Lodge, No. 7, A. F. A. M.
