The Narrow Gauge.
Mr. Win. Reid who was a pas
senger by the last steamer depart
ing from Oregon; not for Scotland,
as a cotemporary in Portland sug
gests, but for San Francisco, pos
siblv for Omaha. The exact
nature of Mr. Reids business is
of course not altogether a matter
for the public, and yet it is. Rail
roading is a. business which the
whole public are interested to know
as much about as possible. Some
of Mr. Reids movements, at this
particular junctuic of affair in
Oregon, are watched with deep
inteiest. AVe understand that the
Oregonian railway company (limit
ed) offer their plant for sale. That
half a million more than it cost
them lias been offered bv icsnon
sible persoiib, but in consequence
of their previous r.erjotiiitions with
the Central Pacific lailroad com
pany they fee! under obligation to
Huntington & Co. to the evtent
that they will not cloo out the
plant to oiitcis until the (Vntral
Pacific railroad folk aic satisfied v,
take it or lox-ve it. Veiy likely
they will leaw it. Thou it may
paRfa into other hand- cnimkUv able
to complete the system and extend
it. If IIuntiiitou ic Co. take it
they will complete the system and
make the propo-Ml Xevada con
nection. In either event, no mat
ter who gets it, thevwill be forced
to cany the rond beyond Pottland,
but whether to St. Helen or to
Astoria is not settled. The pies
ent management will eairy the
line into Portland just as soon as
possible. The Oregonian infoims
us that enough iron is afloat to com
plete the road from Portland to the
Yamhill river. The British ship
Countess of Rothes sailed from
Middleborough December 2Sth,
with 1,200 tons of rails and materi
al, the Countess of Derby sailed
from the same port January 2oth,
with 1,200 tons; and the Sidlaw
January 12th, with S00 tons. All
three vessels arc due and their
arrival ma' be looked for at any
day. About three weeks ago a
contract was let by the company
for building a bridge over the
Yamhill at Lafayette, to cost f.20,
000. It will be 1G0 feet long and
eightr feet above water level. As
the smokestack of the largest boat
traversing the upper Willamet is
only fifty-two feet above water,
the bridjre will not interfere with
navigation. The structure will be
done within a month. Barring
unlooked for delays, the west
side division will be extended to
the Willamet river, opposite Rays
landing, by June loth.
Orrstiri and California Ballwaj-.
By the terms of the plan of
reorganizing the Oregon and Cali
fornia railway, the new manage
ment come into possession o the
land grant between Astoria and
the Y,7illamet valley. It seems to
us that by this movement there is
an absolute certainty that the Ore
gon and California railway com
pany will not longer risk delay in
building the extension to Astoria
from Hillsboro or Forest Grove
In fact we have what is to us as
surance that the work will soon be
commenced here and pushed on to
speedy completion. It is reasonable
to suppose that this should be the
case, because there are loud com
plaints and vociferous demands
that the grant be set aside, or that
the road be built. On the score
of paying, there is not a division
of railroad on the Pacific coast
anywhere that will pay better than
this extension of the Oregon and
California railway to Astoria. If
I it is-not built soon the demands of
people will be made so loud that
the noise may be caught by the
ear of a rival corporation which
possibly might prove to be a
pretty large sized thorn in the
sides of the Oiegon and California
railway company.

A motion to quash the indict

murder, was overruled by tho
United States court in Colorado on
the 9th.
The Henry Buck still swings to
her anchor in Victoria outer har
bor. It was rumored on Tuesday
that Mrs. Davis, the captains wife,
had died. Tt is thought arranre

Buck towed to Tort Townsend.
The lack of quarantine facilities in
the neighboi hoou of Victoria is
shameful.
At a meeting of the boaid of
directors of the Oregon and Cali
fornia railroad company, held on
Monday last, Mi. Henry Villaid
was elected president, vice Mr. It.
Koehler, resigned. At the same
meeting Messis. P. Schule and C.
H. Lewis resigned their positions
as directors, and Messis. C. E.
Bretherton and II. J. Cunningham
were elected to fill the vacancies.
Mr. Koehler continues for the pres
ent to act as manager.
This may be called coming
right down to the core, the inner
most depth of the business. A
Washington dispateh of the 9th
says: "So many senators of both
parties openly declare for Robert
son that there is no room to doubt
his confirmation, and warm friends
of Conkling would have him re
main silent and let the confirma
tion come, unless Conkling should
be attacked by the administration
or its friends. In that event they
advise Conkling to fight, as the
burden of dissension and its con
sequences would then be removed
from his shoulders.1'
