a RAILROAD PROJECT.
a scheme to Connect Fairbavcn AMI YER
gsunes with one Rail.

DR.. John B. Mahann Of Free Water,
Oregon, who is visiting his brother at Ben
son, is president of the Single Rail and
Saddle Car company of Union, Oregon, re
presenting capital stock of $500, 900. lie
proposes to build such road from Fair
haven or Whitehall TO Vergennes and thus
connect the tier of towns between. At
meeting held at Benson, Saturday after
noon the model of the road was exhibited.
DR.. II. II. Jones was elected chairman with
DR.. j. l.. Newton, secretary and H. +.
Kellogg, II. S. Howard and W. T.. Strong
were chosen u committee to enquire into
the feasibility of constructing such a road.
The company claims that the road can be
built at less than one half the expense OF
building the ordinary road and that a grade
OF 800 feet to the mile is possible. Trusses
made of heavy timber, TO be placed eight
feet apart, are used. They are built in the
form Of V and placed upside down with
the single rail on the point, and half way
down on each side is a ballast rail connect
ing tine side of the car by an arm to which
is attached wheel which is SO secure that Il
displacement is impossible. The train con-
ssts Of seven cars and a locomotive, with a
total weight OF 30 or SO tons, less than the
weight OF our ordinary railway trains. The
rear car contains a 1O-horse power electric
motor which will enable the train to obtain
a speed Of two miles minute.
The company will build if each town will
subscribe $1,000 and donate the right OF
way The sum of 500 is TO be paid when
the survey reaches tine town line, Sl'U
when grading within the town limits Is COM
pletel and the depot located, the balance OF
$500 on demand. Mr. Mahana is to hold
similar meetings in the towns forming the
tier IN order to interest the people and come
to definite opinion in regard to building

Mr.. LycurSus' Vindicafion

Mr.. Geo. Lycurgus went to San
Francisco by TIE Zealandia yester
day. While in that city he will at
tend to his libel suit against San
Francisco paper. In reference to the
matter the following appears in the
Sausalito News of January 23d:
"A great injustice, as we acknowl-
edged last week, was done Mr..
George Lycurgus, and we were in
advertently led to repeat the false
report. What cause is there for the
Local-items - of a great city daily
writing long detailed account of a
man being charged with a INSIDE
meanor when a little inquiry would
have shown it was not SO? True, the
morning paper in question contra
dicted itself the next day. But the
I" local-items " of some of the even
ing papers have the lazy habit of
condensing and repeating without
inquiry what they read in the morn
ing papers. When an evening paper
runs false article through three or
TOUR editions, even though 1T be cor
rected in the fifth, much mischief is
done. Who can guarantee that all
who read the original paragraph will
see the correction? What editor,
like that of the News, can read on
the day of publication, all editions of
a morning paper, to find whether the
items in the first editions were taken
back in the latest. We return to
this subject because serious injury
was done an innocent gentleman,
and as we, having no malice, but on
the contrary friendship for him, de-
sire to make sure that every reader
of the Sausalito News shall know
that the lines that appeared in this
journal fortnight ago did not orr
ginate with us, and that the facts
stated, from no fault of ours, were
absolutely untrue and without
foundation"
