A CLOSE CALL-Two employees Of
the Oregon Pacific railroad were on
their way to Albany Tuesday evening
ON a railroad veIocipede, and just as
they had fairly gotten onto the trestle
at this end of the bridge across the
Willamette they were met by a
wild engine. They jumped off, cne of
them taking to cross beam, the other
attempting to push the cycle back off
the trestle. Finding it impossible, he
dropped between the beams, hanging
suspended by his hands to the side
footrail until the engine passed. The
velocipede got out of the way when the
engine struck it, and was perceptibly
damaged.

GRANTED SIXTY DAYS.

A petition was filed with the court
last Tuesday by Judge Finn on be-
half of Zephin Job. the purchaser OF
of the Oregon Pacific railroad, asking
for further time in which to pay the
balance of one million dollars purchase
money. The petition alleges that ar.
rangements had been made to procure
the money from parties in New York
and London at the time set by the
court for its payment, but that a cer-
tain suit begun in the United States
court on the 18th of the present
month had temporarily interfered with
these arrangements. The petition
alleges that the parties are still ready
and willing to furnish the necessary
money for the purchase of the road
as soon as the suit now pending in the
United States court which is set for
hearing April 4th, is settled satisfac-
tory to them. The petition asks that,
therefore, the purchaser, Zephin Job,
be allowed 60 days further time in
which to make the final payment. The
court granted the petition and ordered
that the matter be continued for 60
days. Col. Hogg was in Corvallis the
latter part of last week, and on Mon
day left for San Francisco. The colonel
will proceed at once to New York and
it is hoped that an amicahle settlement
ofthe difficulties foral pa1ies concerned
will be made at an early date. Col, ,Hogg
has been very persistent in his efforts
and plans to secure settlement of the
companies affairs and complete the
road. And it is fully believed by his
Oregon friends that he will succeed in
doing so and til It work will be resumed

the way of those seeking to have tho

result OF tho experiment now being
made of charging an admission fec OF

thisis taken in on sundays.
