Yaquina Bay, and illustrated the description
by maps He pictured the benefit Of i'm.
provements and OF railroad from Yaquina
eastward, and called upon the citizens Of
this valley to do all in their power to fur.
ther the enterprise. Mr.. Nash estimated
the amount necessary to complete and put
in shape the harbor improvements at about
$3.50, 600.
Senator w. R. Bi!you followed Mr.. Nash
in an able manner, presenting the case IN
several forcihle ways and urging the necessity
Of prompt action. He referred to the rec
or,ls of the last legislature and the fight
then made by the monopolists to defeat the
railroad bill in the interest of the people
This he said was fair example of the infiu-
ences that are being and would be brought
to bear against this movement, and he
thought it was time the people stood up for
their rights.
Judge Moore of Corvallis, discouraged the
farmers from making any personal contribu-
tions toward the enterprise, but thought
best to rely wholly on petitioning congress.
Hon. Ralph c. Geer, of Marion county,
was then called and said that he W. 9
wholly in favor of the citizens of the valley
making every effort, person,l and cth, swi. Z
for the accomplishment of this object, which
would give so much in return for the outlay
demanded. He wanted to see the matter
pushed and the work done and in short
time the advance in prices and general pros
perity would more than repay the outlay.
He had personally inspected the harbor,
and his inspection was made at the request
Of capitalist who had at one time thought
of investing in the enterprise. Ae was thor
oushly satisfied of the feasibility of the
project in every particular. The mate OF
the steamer "Alex. Duncan had told him
that vessel had made the passage oftengand
never had any difficulty. There had al
ways been from IL to Ia feet of water and
the entrance was a very safe one. At the
conclusion of Mr.. Geer's remarks, the chair
man APPOINTED the following gentlemen as 4

DEATH or GENERAL LANE.

OE Tuesday night, General Joseph
Lane, the first Territorial Governor
of Ore gon, and man who has occu
pied most important place in the
states history, passed away at the
ripe aye of 80 years. His death has
long been expected and it was no
surprish to his1iriends. Gen'l Lane
was born in North Carolina in 1907
and 1921 moved TO Indiana, settling
on farm in Vanderburg county.
In 1922 he was retured to- the legisla-
ture; his representative. -carees, thence
forth, extending over 25 years; as
State Senator and member of the low
er branch of the Indiana Legislature.
At the breaking out Of the Mexican
war, in 1916, he resigned his seat in
the Indiana senate and volunteered
as private soldier, but was at once APP
pointed Colonel by president Polk and
soon afterwards commissioned Briga-
dier General. AT the battle of Buena
Vista, where he was wounded, he
commanded the left wing of the
American army. Oct. 8, 1857, at
the head of 5000 men, he defeated
Gen. Sauta Anna at Huamantla. On
the 10 III lie took Atlixa, losing only
one man while the enemy lost 500.
Nov. %, Lane took the strongly for
tilted town of Maiirie Mori, with a
large quantity of military munitions.
He afterwards took Orizaba. On the
44th he defeated Gen. Jaruota at Te-
haulapan. At the conclusion of the
war Lane was bleveted Major Gen
eral OF the U. s. army and in August,
l84s, was appointed Governor OF
Oregon territory, from which Office he
was subsequently removed by presi-
dent Taylor. In 1851 GenI Lane
was elected delegate TO Congress,
beating Gov. Gaines, and continuing
to represent the territory until 1868,
when, on July 9TH he was elected to
represent the new State of Oregon in
the q. S. Senate, receiving 45 out oi
so votes in the Legislature. In 1860
JOSEPH Lane was nominated by the
National Democratic convention, at
Baltimore, for the Vice Presidency
on the ticket with Breckenridge and
on the breaking out of the war was
in sympathy with the DOCTRINES of se-
cession. During the Indian war in
Rogue river valley he took an active
part, having been unanimously ten-
dered command of the forces opera
ting against the Indians. General
Lane filed every position honestly
and we'll and any errors committed,
even the fatal mistake of sympathi-
zing with the rebellion, were errors
of judgment. As a private citizen
Joseph Lane leaves the unsullied rec
ord of an honest man. The brave old
veteran has answered the roll call of
the Eternal an | may his rest be easy.
The old soldier was laid TO rest in
the Masonic cemetery at Roseburg in
the family vault just constructed, and
to which the remains of his wife had
been removed. There was large at
tendance from Salem, Albang, Cor.
Wallis. Eugene City and Oakland, and
there was a very large attendance
from Douglass county. A very elo.
queut and impressive Aoration was de-
livered by his old friend, ex-senator
]. w. Nesmith, who paid a fitting
tribute to the memory of man who
has flied SO large space in Oregon's
history.

We hope that our colored people
will avail themselves of the good oppor.

aiding them in the meritor'ous work
that they are about to iuaugurate IN

A STREET RAiLwAy.-Tho question of
establishing u railway line, to cncircle
tho limits Of Baton Rouge, was dis.
cussed at considerable length, in u group
Of citizens, on yesterday morning. 1t
was argued with much reason too, that
the laying Of this line, consisting of
about three miles Of light rails, plank
walk for tho horses, and probably four
street ears, would amount to but a few
thousand dollars Besides tho regular
business IN carrying passengers from
tho centre TO tho outskirts Of the
city, very many Of our citiacns would
almost every day, avail themselves Of
the opportunity to take u cheap ride
around tho city.
The cost Of keeping mp fow horses
aud employing drivers would be compar-
ativcly small ono, Every stranger com
ing to Baton Rouge, would DO but too
happy to avail himself Of this great con
veuenCo.
Tho fact IL we'll known that tho bost
paying stock in New Orleans, il that Of
the street railway companies, Tho bull.
ding of such q liue in our city, would
Increase tho vaue Of property on the
suburbs and contribute very materially
to the development of the entire city.
We have IN idea that whoever will
take tho bull by the horns now, aud OBJ
tain the necessary privileges from the
City Council, will lay the foundation
for acquiring handsome fortune
through remunorative annual revenues
Now's the time.
