A correspondent thinks that the
name of Glammont street should be
changed to Church street, and gives as
on this street, within three squares,
and two others but one square re-
moved. Allowing, as our correspon-
dent says, that sunder the circumstan-
COS Church is more appropriate
name," we should object to the change
for the reason that Grammont is name
associated with the early history of the
town. Grammont Filhiol, after whom
tho street was named, we believe, was
born in this city, his father being at
one time commandant of the Post of
Myro (now Monroe), then under Span
ish rule.

RAILROAD NEWS.

The track is now laid nearly seventy
miles northeast from Ainsworth on the
Northern Pacific road, and orders are
to proceed, if possible, at the rate OF
two miles per day.
The Union says there are 400 men
with supply of teames at work on
the road from Umatilla to Baker CITY
and they have graded about Is miles
already. The track will, it is expect
ed, lie laid to Umatilla by next Mon,
day. The track between Walla Walla
and Umatilla will be widened as ran
idly as possible, but as there are l6
miles light rail to be replaced by heavy
and some considerable bridge and tres
tie work to be done, it is probable that
the broad gauge cars will not be run
into Walla Walla before the first of
May. About 400 men arc at work
on the grade between The Dalles and
Portland.

The latest dispatches announce that
the board of directors Of the Northern
Pacific have resolved to resist the in
junction vigorously and authorized the
employment of able counsel to conduct
the suit on behalf of the company
From our stand point, we are Of the
opinion that Willard has failed in his
plan of control of the company, and
was entirely premature in making the
announcement that he had the control
or that he was certain of securing it
for use at the September election OF
the board Of management. We can
not see how Mr. Wizards denial made
in the Oregonian of the Goth ult., of
the allegation that he bought this
s27 100000 SO as to get control of the
company and prevent or delay the
construction of the Cascade division of
the road to the Sound can avail him
anything in this contest, in view of the
we'll known fact that before he made
this purchase he did most strenuously
urge that the Northern Pacific make
their western terminus at Ainsworth
and allow the 0. r. d. N. Co., to do
the traffic west from that point, which
the N. P. would not accede to, but
distinctly informed him that their
charter required them to reach the
Pacific, and that they should construct
through to the Sound. Then imme
diately following this refusal of the N.
P. came his efforts to purchase the
controlling interest. Again so faras this
contest goes, it matter not what his
purpose was in making this purchase,
if the N. p. directors were authorized
to issue this $1S,0OO,OOO of
stock and a large majority of this issue
goes to the present management, and
to President Billings as the head, then
MIR. Willard has not the controlling in.
terest in the company and will not
have the management in September
next. Willard having disclosed his
plans to the present management it
is quite probably that they would see
to it that he does not hereafter secure
that control, nor will the N. P: he
very DESTROYS to enter into any future
coalision with Willard and his com
pany that will ever embarass them in
carrying out their original purpose to
give the people of the northwest coast
a railroad direct across the Cascade
to Puget Sound.

The Olympia Courier thus speaks Of
the o. r. & N. Co. and it's branches
''On the Sound, a branch of the same
company has bought the Seattle coal
mines and put them and the railroad
in condition for work on large scale.
Four large and costly steamers are now
in various stages of construction and
will be used tocarry the coal from these
mines to Portland and San Francisco.
The same company has bon ded the
Puyallup mines that are now getting
out 200 or more tons day of excel
lent coal, and it is almost certain it
will purchase .hem. 1t is evident that
the 0. r. 4 N, Company and their va
rious offshoots which are controlled by
the 0. r. d N. Co. management, have
determined to control all the great
coal mines of this Territory and all the
carrying trade by sea and land the !
possibly can. They bid fair to become
an immense monopoly, but If they man
ifest the spirit of live and let live, that
is the best policy in the long run, they
will do more to open up our great Ter
ritory and aid in securing US our right
full station among the sisterhood ct
states than any but the m ost farseeing

THE NORTHERN PACIFIC.

Since writing our article on Willard
and the N. P. Co., The Oregonian OF
the 3lst has reached us, which contains
the following:
New YORK, March 3O.-The North
ern Pacific directors held their first
meeting yerterday since the 100000
shares were issued. Wizards move
ment was discussed. There appeared
entire unanimity amongthe directors as
to the necessity of freely endorsing the
action of the executive committee, and
resolution so announcing was pres
ented. John G. Bullitt. a lawyer and
one of the syndicate directors, opposed
its adoption, calling attention to the
preliminary injunction secured from,
Judge Spire by Willard. He said that
formal Endorsement of the issuance of
stock, pending injunction, would rem
der the directors liable for contempt of
court Bullitt then offered the follow
ing substitute, which was unanimously
adopted:
Resolred, That the suit of Henry
Willard against the Northern Pacific
Railroad Co., its directors and others
for an injunction, be vigorously de-
Tended by all legal means.
Counsel were given special instruc.
ton in accordance Herewith. In dis
cussing the legality of the action of the
executive committee in issuing the
stock, the following extract from the
bylaws of the company, setting forth
duties and powers of that committee,
was considered: "The executive CON-
mittee when the board is not in session
shall and may exercise all powers OF
the board of directors which can be
lawfully delegated to or exercised by
them, and they shall cause to be kept
a full and accurate record of their &C.
tions and proceedings and submit the
same from time to time to the board. "
Attention was also directed to the fact
that the plan of reorganization, adopt
ed in 1875, to which Willard, in his
plea for injunction, refers frequently,
provides that common stock shall be
issued to the amount authorized by the
charter-$l00, 900, 000-less the amt
of s5l, 100000 of preferred stock
Certificates on the stock shall be issued
to holders of or those now entitled to
r.ifcates, share for share, and the
residue ratably to those originally en-
titled thereto or their assigns. Inthese

MURDER AND HANGING AT AIMS

MURDER AND HANGING AT AIMS
WORTH. AT Ainsworth on the 26th
ult., one Dick Osbourn, a desperate,
fatally stabbed in the back, a gambler
named Alonzo Babb. Babb is report
ed to have been a quiet peacable man.
He had, with Others, endeavored to
break up some opium dens in the town
which had given offense to Osbourn,
and the next day without any warn
ing, he approached Babb from behind
and stabbed him in three places. Babb
died the next day, Osborn was imme-
diately arrested. The night following
ten persons in disguise, demanded Os-
born from his keepers and took him
and hung him till he was dead. AS
soon as the hanging became known,
several roughs ard desperadoes made a
few threats of vengeance, upon those
who were engaged in the hanging as
soon as they could be found out, which
induced the orderly citizens of the
place to notify about twenty Of the
gang to leave the place forthwith, and
those notified did leave as fast as they
could. Capt. Smith tells us that he
crossed to the south side of the Snake
several of them on his ferry.

quotations may be discovered the key
note to the defense which will be set
up against the pleas of Willard.
The Walla Walla Statesman pub
fishes the following:
PHILADELPHIA, April Frederick
Billings, president of the Northern Pa
cife railroad, has telegraphed to Gen.
Sprague, at Tacoma, that it is impos-
sible for him to keep track of all the
newspaper statements in reference to
the recent "blind pool" scare, and that
there is no installing the purpose of
Willard and others in trying to possess
the controlling amount of stock in the
Northern Pacific road They have
plainly showed that they wished and
would accomplish at any cost, the ar
rest of all moves tending towards the
construction of the road west of Wal
lula, and make the northw est tributary
to Oregon, and especially the O. r. l.
N. Co. The N. P.'s fidelity to char
acter, as well as the entire interests of
the Pacific Coast, and the N. P. Com
pany, require the immediate building
of road to Puget Sound. Any scheme
gotten up by Willard, or any one else,
to prevent the immediate building of a
road to deep water is bound to fail
The Oregonian of the LIST gives this
telegram as furnished by Gen. Sprague
and here it is:
New YORK, March 81, 1881.
Gen. j. W. Sprague: l cannot keep
track of all the statements in newspa-
pers. There is no installing the pur-
pose of those who are trying to get
control of the Northern Pacific. It is
to arrest it's construction west of Wal
lula and make it tributary to the Ore
gon Railway and Navigation Compa-
ny. Fidelity to the character as we'll
as to the interests Of the Pacific coast
and the interests of the company all
require the road to go to Puget Sound.
Any scheme to prevent its going there
l think will not succeed.
