Louis Gerlinger, of Portland, w ho
is well known a a railroad pro
j motor and timber owner, made a
' Hying trip to this place Wednesday
Thursday of last week and
submitted a proposition for the
building of a railroad in to this
place. The proposition is as fol
lows: To tiik Citizens ok Fam.s City:
In the event of my building the
railroad from Falls City to Dallas
or Independence will your city
give a cash bonus of $,'W00, same
lo be guaranteed and paid to the
company when track is lid be-
j itwcf ' the laarui-altov. uumliaaed ?
If cash bonus ia not to be given
will you grade ready for ties for a
distance of three miles under the
supervision of our engineer?
urauing to oe completed in
sixty days from lime of completed
survey. Your town also to fur
nisii a free right-of way for the
same distance with terminal
grounds at Falls City of not" less
than live acres.
Yours truly,
L. Gekmxoer.

Thursday morning. A mass meet
ing of the citizens was called for
that evening and a large number
were present at Woodman hall.
been done in other yean-. How
ever, other reasons were brought
forward, Htill the matter of mute
was considered very secondary.
Mr. Gerlinger while here said
that if work was done on the grade
he would give bonds either to have
the road running or lo pay wages
for the work done to those con
tributing. The committee was in
structed to po arrange that this
support should be given to Mr.
Gerlinifer or in the case of another
company Iwing first to build the
committee has power to give the
same to them. This will keep the
work from being lost through de
lay because no man can keep it
hound beyond a specified time.
Aside from this support from
the town each of the large mills is
to give ties to the value of some
$1300.

There was a pretty scene on the
bank of the Willamette near the old

the afternoon, to arrive at the
place above mentioned. Swings

Work on the grade has already been
