SLAUGHTER.

90 last Wednesday, Rock Springs,
Wyoming Territory, was the scene of q
fearful slaughter Of Chinamen by white
miners. There are large and extensive
coal mines at that place, which are the
property of the U. p. r. r. Co. Some
time since the company imported
large number of Chinese to take the
place of the white miners who had
heretofore been employed to take out
coal for the company. OF course, with
the prejudice which has been engender.
cd against the influx Of Chinese into
this country, growing out Of the many
and heated discussions Of the subject,
the white miners became much exas-
peTated a. this treatment shown them
by the company, so the white miners,
about $50 strong, being armel with
shot guns, marched oo 10 Chinatown
and Cred a volley into the air. Then
they gave order fer the CninAmen all
10 leave, which they did at oLce, but
the whites frsl several volleys after
them, killing Is Cinnamon. They then
set FIRE to the town and burned Fifty
shanties belonging to the company.
Many Chinamen were supposed to be
burned in the ruins. The others all
fed to the mountains. IL is thought
grave diplomatic complications will
Hlise with China about the matter.

We understand that there is a report
being circulated that Goo. w. Howss is
guilty of putting out fire where he had
no business, and that he was the cause
of the undersigned's hay and J. Ii.
Giezentaner's house being burned. This
is not the case. Mr.. Howes did fire
against Gre to keep his hay and improve
ments from being destroyed by FIRE, and
any other sensible man would have doue
the same. Some unprincipled scoun-
drel set the grass afire just for the fun
of seeing it burn, (if there was any fun
about it. The fire was set on the
south side Of the read in several differ
ent places and was invariablw kindled
where it was supposed 1t would not 90
out. There is no blame laid to Mr..
Howes.

no WE WANT ITs

A very important question is now
before the people Of Linn county and
Albany, which demands thoughtful and
serious consideration. We refer to the
proposition which we published in our
last issue made by the Willamette VAL
lev and Coast r. r. Go. to briug that
road into Albany and construct rail-
road and wagon bridge uear the city.
The proposition is plain one. If the
road should be built few miles from
the city, and rival town should spring
up, the injury done to Albany and
Albany's business would be irreLarable.
1t would not only bring us no business,
but would take away much Of that
which we have. Every business man,
every real estate holder, every one who
makes this city his home, every man in
L.nn county In fact is interested in
seeing this road brought to this place.
To construct the road to this place,
making wagon and foot bridge free,
establish machine shops, etc., would
give an impetus to the city, such as
would necessarily result in causing
manufacturing and other industries tc
spring up here, Thus would the taxa
ble property and money values increase
and assume their portion Of the burden
Of maintaining the county and city
government. Let the people seriously
consider this matter. 1t may prove Il
be questioA of life or death. VIZ
know of no bridge so much needed as I
wagon and foot bridge at this place. i
has been suggested that the Count!
Court be asked to assist in constructing
this bridge. The county could built
no bridge that would be used so mucl
as cne at this place. Now, the time
in which to act is short, ard the peopl
should be mp and doing. Who vii
move In the matter
