COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS.
BUSINESS OF IMPORTANCE TRANSACTED

BUSINESS OF IMPORTANCE TRANSACTED.
The city council held special meeting
last night and transacted some business Of
importance. The meeting was held princi-
pally in order to confer with Mr.. Pine,
agent of the Singer sewing ma
chine company, concerning a por-
ton of railroad strip lying between
Tbirty-fourth and Thirty streets.
The meeting was called to order by May
or Thistlewood who stated the object.
Under the head of unfinished business
ordinance No. so published in yesterdays
BULLETIN, which requires that railroad
strip between Thlrty-tourth and Thirty
sixth streets be vacated, was read and
adopted.
Mr. Pine, agent of the Singer sewing
machine company, stated that his object in
coming before the council was to confer with
it concerning that portion of railroad strip
which had been required to be vacated by
the above named ordinance; that the
ground would be necessary in order to era
BILE the company to carry IN its business
and he wished to know if and upon what
terms the ground could be purchased.
Alderman Halliday then offered reso-
luton authorizing and directing the mayor
| and city clerk to 'seli all that portion of
railroad strip lying between Thirty fourth
and Thirty-sxth streets, in the fifth addi-
ton to the city of Cairo, including the
vacated street referred to in
the ordinance aforementioned
"at the price OF ten dollars for each twenty
five feet of said strip, running from Thirty
fourth to Thirty-sixth Streets etc. The
resolution was adopted.
The committee on streets reported on
bids for filling streets, referred to them at
previous meeting and recommended that
the bids of Messers. Leith, Amount, Smith,
Boxley and Franklin be accepted. Alder
man Wood moved that the report of COM
mittee be received and concurred in. Mo-
ton was adopted.
A few bills were also read and referred to
the committee on claims
The committee on police, jail and fire
department reported and recommended the
adoption of reaolution authorizing the
city comptroller to purchase for the use of
the police force of the city one dozen
"Bean's patent police calls at a cost not
to exceed twelve dollars. The resolution
was adopted and the meeting then ad
journed.
From these proceedings and
other facts previously pub
lished in The BULLETIN it may safely
be expected that the Singer company will
locate branch factory here, although the
purchase of the necessary land has not yet
been effected. The offer made to the com
pany by the city, as may be seen from the
proceedings above, are very liberal and the
offer of additional land from other quarters
has been equally liberal, so that if the COM
pany really means anything by these
demonstrations it will have no reason to
complain that the ground is too high.
If the gentlemen of the Singer company
will think favorably of the offers made
them and establish a business here that
will do themselves and the city honor, they
can rest assured of the good will and hearty
support of this cutire community.

YAar,xA nAr IMPROVEMENTS.

Col. q. s. Gillispie, U. s. engineer
in chsfss of this department, has re-
ceived authority to proceed with the
improvement Of Yaquina bay and the
morth Of the Coquille river. In an
ticipation Of this authorization Dir. j..
s. Polbemus, engineer in charge, was
ordered TO Yaquina three weeks ngo to
make preparations for the work lie

cribs, scows, rock, timber, and other
materials needed in the Improvement.
The plan adopted is tho construction Of
a jetty at tho south side Of the entrance

than any other Tho iron, cordage,
etc, required for tho work is being pur-
chased here, and will bo shipped to va

NEW sUPREME C0URT JIDGBs.

TIE United States Supreme Court is
- fast on the do~ grade. Vscan-
s have occurred and more are to fol-
iow, until the character of the Court
may be expected to undergo radical
change. The latest nomination, Stan
ley Matthews, is a close friend of Pres
ident Hayes, but If he has any other
qualification for the high office TO which
he has been nominated the public arc
certainly unaware of it, and they have
not been without fair opportunities of
judging. He is bat second-class law
yer in his own State, and is qnitc out
Of place on any Judicial Bench, espe-
cially that of the Supreme Court Of the
United States. He was in the Senate
fer time, but was conspicuous fail
ure. He was known as strong rarti-
san and very narrow politician. He
was one Of the visiting statesmen to
Louisiana, and no man is moro respon-
sible than be fer the contamination Of
the gigantic fraud by which his friend
Hayes was counted into the Presiden-
tial chair. For bis share in chat trans
action Stanley Matthews now comes in
for his reward. The public may we'll
wish that it had been. conferred upon
him in some other shape.
Ii is also stated that Edmunds is 10
be named to fill Justice Hunts vacan-
cy. Edmunds was also one Of those
who connived at the rape of the Presi-
dsncy, and for this reason no Demo
cratic u. s. Senator should vote to oo..-
6rm either him or Mathews. They
are both political knaves and have no
business wearing theermine of Marshal
and Taney.

.auINA Ray AND We FUTURE 80 Az
pkNT.

AS will be seen from the article pub
lished in this weeks DEMOCRAT under
the heading of Yaquina Bay I'm
provements," the prospects of something
being done In this direction have as
sumed more hopeful outlook. The
present appropriation is $4,000, and
the Congressional Committee on APpro-
priations have recommended further
appropriation of $4,000, which in all
probability will pass. While the COM
bined amount is not largo one it il
hoped that enough will be accomplished
with it to justify the hope of still
larger appropriation in the future. At
least start will have been made in the
right direction. The opening of va
quina Day and the construction Of the
proposed railroad through eastward
from that point is m .tter of the ut
most Importance to tho future of AL
bany, as we'll as to the entire southern
portion of the Willamette Valley and
Eastern Oregon. The Central Pacific
Railroad Co. announce their intention
to abandon the route from Redding,
Cal, so far as building il any farther
northward is concerned. They intend
after having formed the proposed con,
nection with the Southern Pacific, and
thus to the Gulf of Mexico, to build a
line from some point in Eastern Cali
fornia or Western Nevada north~
ward into Eastern Oregon. The pros
poets are that these proposed lines viii
be pushed to speedy completion.
The proposed line from Yaquina Bay
eastward will probably intersect the
branch of the Central Pacific at some
point in Eastern Oregon. Such an ar
rangemcnt would give to the William,
cite Valley and Eastern Oregon very
complete railroad facilities, and lead to
the rapid development of large sec
ton of country now almost entirely
isolated and unproductive. 1t is be
lieved both lines would pay well, and
when once fairly in operation, as there
is every reason to believe they will be
In the near future, che citizens of Al
bany may look forward confidently to a
reaction In business and rise in prop
erty values. There is rumor to the
effect that considerable amount of the
stock of the proposed Yaquina Bay
road has been placed, and that the road
is an assured fact. We have been una
bic to trace the rumor to any reliable
source, but are hopeful that it has some
foundation.
