parted for the East. Refore going he had
u lengthy interview with the Dayton and
Waitsburg people relative to building of
the railroad to those places, which Interview
is understood TO be satisfactory, the chief
difficulty in the way being the refusal OF
the county com missioners TO issue $50. 900
scrip TO be used In building the road from
here to Waitsburg on account OF an In
junction having lately been served on the
commissioners ut the instance OF Prescott
parties, but it is now believed that the
obstruction will be soon overcome and the
building of the road proceed as soon as
spring fairly opens.
The Hunt railway meeting at Pendleton
Monday was also quite satisfactory. Mr..
Hunt agreed TO divide the subsidy asked
for, which amounts to 985, 900. into three
payments, the fret due in October next, de.
ferred payments to bear interest at per
