Random Railroad RumOrs.

Since the Albany Herald pub
ished the report which reached that
city few days ago that a party of
engineers were camped in the noun
tain pass on the eastward line of the
Oregon Pacific for the purpose of
holding it for the Wabash & Pacific
route, with the intention of con-
structing line to Albany, thence to
Astoria, rumors concerning it have
flown thick and fast.
The Salem Capital Journal says:
"The pass over the Cascades, through
which the Oregon Pacific is pro-
jected and surveyed, and where it is
expected the work of construction
will be pushed about May 1st, seems
to be in dispute.
From q gentleman who came
down from the mountains this morn
ing We learn of the continued
attempt of body of engineers to cap
ture the coveted pass. Our inform
ant had seen man who had Just
returned from near the scene Of the
strife. He said there were twenty.
five civil engineers, with their accou-
trements, camped in the region of the
pass, which they propose holding.
They are either of the Wabash
route or of the Chicago & North
